Sounds like it was added as a request back in 2017 but no word on implementation.
I've been looking for this for a long, long ... long time.
Side note I made the mistake of re-detecting my driver tonight, and lost all temp reading I was previously showing on my 32 cores. Now I can only select 1 of 3 options CPU/MB/SYSTIN
Currently runnig latest update, Attached a screen to show how it was compared to now.

I’m using ASUSWRT Merlin so I’m not sure this will work for you, but this is what I use.
https://gist.github.com/dd-han/09853f07efdf67f0f4af3f7531ac7abf
I actually have a Merlin flashed ASUS router on the network, so this should work.
Thanks!

Not sure about ddclient but I figured out how to add a script to my router to do the same thing, and it uses their v4 API.
Just found the my DDClient is failing to update cloudflare today.
You wouldn't happen to be using DD-WRT, and if so provide some guidance on the script your using?

I'd also keep using the command line too, rather than the plugin.
No question there, always used the script, always will.
-
I am a long time user of preclear since since the late unRAID v4 days.
Personally I've always used the script, as when I started to first use the plugin, I never was able to see the output of disks being processed, and the reports when finished never provided the detail I was used to from the original script, (Not to mention they were blank.)
I've always just stuck to the scripts, and used the notification options built in.
I am however in the same boat, that I use preclear to fully stress test new disks whether they will end up in the array or not. I also run an I.T. consultation business, where I again utilize the script on new PC HDD's, before installing them in client machines. 3 Passes of preclear with an extended SMART test, sure does give the required piece of mind, and has helped us to put fires out before there was even a sign of smoke. (All done while Family and Friends enjoy streaming PLEX on the same server)
My Question(s):
Since I just built the newest server, it's been a while since I've updated the script I use, (Current Server on unRAID v6.1.9, New Server on v6.5.0) , and of course I want to bring the script I've grown to depend on.
-
What version of the script is recommended if I plan to only use the script?
- I would assume the one that is being maintained, @gfjardim's, however I don't see anywhere I can get just the script?
(Forgive me if I missed it, I only picked up on this thread about 15 pages back, note: I do have my settings to show the maximum post per page, and it was quite a lot of posts!)
- Should I even be worried about using the @gfjardim script, does the script itself have revisions/updated for later versions of unRAID, or is it merely updated for plugin purpose?
- Lastly: If it is recommended to get one of the base @Joe L., or @SSD scripts, With or without the notification update, is the patch Detailed in these posts required?
I do want to thank @Joe L., @SSD, @gfjardim, @dlandon, @Squid, @Frank1940, and @CHBMB. I've used this script for years now. Both in, and out of unRAID, on systems destine to become workstations, servers, Security/Surveillance systems, laptops, and personal computers for both personal, and professional business clientele. Anything with a Hard Drive, really. This script has become one of, if not the most, valuable tools in our arsenal for new setup, system reload, and HDD reliability diagnostic. There my be better tools, but I've yet to be failed by this. Again, my hat off, head bowed, and knee bent, ... Thank you.

For ombi you need version 3.0.2165 or later. Are you sure the ombi api key is correct?
And did you try and add the url base if you use that?
You did add it to custom html and not css right?
For Organizr support I highly recommend joining the discord. https://organizr.us/discord much easier to support live ?
I'm sorry I should've been more clear:
I'm not sure if the repo is due for an update. I found a bunch of posts saying they have the same error, and the, (Devs?), replies are it's an Ombi issue and under fix.
I am running v3.0.3185, and API key verified correct.
No URL Base as I use subdomains, and for now I'm just testing locally, ... (Haven't even gotten to remote testing
I might have added to css ... yup .. looking at it, definitely added to css. I may need to slow down just a little.., or less coffee at +2:30AM
I believe I will be taking up your discord offer some point this weekend. I love to learn, and grasp on my own, gives a great feeling of accomplishment, but this is just taking too damn long..

To update ip on cloudflare, you need to use a separate app, script or device. I believe you said you had ddwrt on your router. That probably handles that. If not, we have a ddclient docker that will do it.
I do have DD-WRT, but as much as I wish I knew the script to place in the router, it looks like I'll go with DDClient, as I'm sure it will be more my pace of understanding to configure.
Unless of course you could point me in the right direction ... ?
Thanks!

Domain.com/ombi was just an example. Ombi.domain.com works just fine.
Adding.htpasspw will make users have to log in twice yes. Using organizr they will only log in once with their plex credentials.
I've been going through your blogs, and I must say thank you. You have a TON of good information in there. It looks like I'll be following 90% of what you've posted, as you're setup is pretty much what I desire. I've installed Organizr, and I've been playing with it a bit, look slike I'll be jumping on the bandwagon.
I only have a couple problems with organizr:
- I get this error at the top of my homepage if I have Ombi request turned on, I'm not sure if it's because Ombi needs an update.
- (It's the only answer I've found as of end of March 2018 from support posts on GitHub)
Notice: Undefined offset: 0 in /config/www/Dashboard/functions.php on line 5067 Notice: Undefined offset: 0 in /config/www/Dashboard/functions.php on line 5067
- I'm trying to use unBlurr vBeta as a Theme, and all work except when I try to add:
For Plex Users who want the chat button to go to the chat tab instead of the chat sidebar
It places a bar over the entire homepage blocking the top of the page and specifically the save button. I have to use adblocker to kill the item in order to regain control.
Sorry for the off topic questions, I know they should be placed elsewhere.
It looks lie I have a lot more reading, trial and error to go through, but at least I have a good reference point.
Don't you take down that blog anytime soon!
I'm still a bit puzzled on how to get DDNS to update directly to cloudflare, if you could be so kind as to answer:
- Is there a docker or plugin that I need to install specifically for this, or will I be be needing to go a custom script route?
- Should I be using a service like DNS-O-Matic ?
Maybe I'm just missing it within the LetEncrypt container..

For Ombi you can setup .htpasswd and have fail2ban ban the ip after x amount of failed logins. Fail2ban is already setup to do that with [nginx-http-auth]. I would add ignoreip = x.x.x.x/24 so you don't ban yourself. Like this.
I already have my jail.local configured, as present in my original post. It's just a matter on turning it on.
- Would .htpasswd be recommended on top of Ombi using Plex account sign in?
- Would turning on .htpasswd with PLex user authentication in Ombi cause my users to have to sign in twice? If so would .htpasswd be recommended over Ombi Plex user sign on?
13 hours ago, GilbN said:Or you could setup Organizr and use server authentication so that only users that are logged in to organizr can access domain.com/ombi. And setup fail2ban on the organizr login page.
With Organizr users that log in will automatically be logged into ombi/plex using SSO. https://imgur.com/a/rcwq6rg
You can also setup geoblocking, that will block any country of your choosing.
Not sure about organizr, just started looking into it, and it's intriguing, but not quite ready to undertake that project yet..
Referenced in my original post I've setup as subdomain. Not sure how that would play out with your suggestion as domain.com/ombi, and prefer not to use my base business domain.
geoblocking is definitely a must, and thank you for referencing this. I had no idea it existed, and will get implemented asap.

Thank you for your reply, it's very informative, and definitely gives a better understanding of what I'm trying to accomplish with DNS/DDNS.
2 hours ago, aptalca said:There are a lot of questions here so I'll take a stab and try to answer a few. But before I start I should let you know, it seems you took a lot of these configs from guides or other people. They are all so heavily modified that it is difficult for me to help troubleshoot. Nginx is a highly capable and thus complicated piece of software. For specific nginx config questions, I would recommend asking the folks who wrote the specific configs you're using.
You're right I did go through what felt like 5000 forums posts and hundreds of configs, splicing together the files I currently use. I believe I have a good base, providing some security, (again I'm not sure as to how much beyond I need), and not mucking up with too much unneeded. I have posted the same security related questions on the forums I found information outside of Lime.
2 hours ago, aptalca said:First of all, I don't quite understand why you came up with such a confusing domain name forwarding structure. To me it seems all you needed was to use your main domain for business, and set A records for certain subdomains that point to your home server. If you're already using cloudflare for managing those dns records, I'm sure your ddwrt router can update those subdomains on cloudflare with ip changes. You shouldn't need to use the freedns ddns as an intermediate
I was not aware I could cut out the intermediary DDNS by using CloudFlare. I've always been used to using DDNS with some kind of update client, I didn't know CloudFlare could do this automatically.
- I'll have to do some digging to understand how this is properly configured, as I'm a little foggy what host my subdomain A record should point to, I assume my current dynamically assigned IP?
- I'm not entirely sure how I'd get a client updating the, as the router I use has a field for custom DDNS service, but I'm not sure where to even begin with that. I guess Some more searching may shed some light.
2 hours ago, aptalca said:In letsencrypt, you can do one of two things, 1) set the url as mydomain.com, set the subdomains as matt,matt2,matt3 and set only_subdomains to true. That way it won't try to validate mydomain.com but you can add as many subdomains as you want, or 2) set the url to matt.mydomain.com and set subdomains to 1,2,3 and you'll get a cert that covers 1.matt.mydomain.com etc.
I believe I understand what you're saying here, and it sounds like all I need to do is set only_subdomains true and this will accomplish what I'm looking for in both only allowing mattflix.ouritservice.com, while refusing connections the the other subdomains pointed here (Given my default and subdomain site-confs are correct), as well as allowing me to use seperate site conf files.
I think I've had the lightbulb "ahh" moment. .. at least I hope.
Now, if anyone could provide some insight into the security side of this using Ombi and Plex user logins.
Thanks for your response!

I've gotten everything working so far for use with Ombi on unRAID 6.1.9, (I'll eventually be moving everything over to the sister server v6.5.0)
My questions now are really focused on security.
I have this server on my home network, with a few business servers running on the same network, and some business data even in the same unRAID server.
I'm hoping I may list my setup configurations here, and someone may be able to answer a few questions.
(All sensitive information fields have been redacted)
DDNS
DDNS is handled through freedns.afraid.org where mysub.strangled.net resolves to my home dynamically agssigned IP provided by my ISP.
The DDNS update is maintained by the DDNS updater in my DD-WRT flashed router.
DNS
The domain I use is actually a split domain, as the base domain mydomain.com points to an external business mail server. I set up a separate sub-domain for use, we'll call it: mattflix.mydomain.com. This is a CNAME using cloudflare DNS, that resolves to my DDNS domain provided by freedns. This setup looks like so:
- mattflix.mydomain.com --> mysub.strangled.net --> external IP at home.
Questions:
I assume because I am using a sub-domain of mydomain.com and not the base domain, this is what would be limiting me to only being able to use one letsencrypt/nginx/site-conf file (default) instead of what I've seen in this thread about using multiple files one for each subdomain?
- I've tried every possible way I could find, and think of, to make this work, with the default, without, with main server block in the default, and separate in each site conf.. But every time I have more than one site-conf file it kills the page and gives a connection refused. (This does the same if I try to list more than one sub-domain /location in the default file.
I'm just confirming a suspicion here, and I know I can switch to mydomain.com/service over subdomains, or just buy a dedicated base domain.com. Just want to confirm that is the solution or I'm doing something wrong.
Also: I currently have a couple subdomain.mydomains.com that resolve to the same DDNS destination. The problem is they all translate to mattflix.mydomain.com.
- I'd like if possible to only allow specifically mattflix.mydomian.com resolve, and any other valid subdomain.mydomain.com either time out, or error. I tried but just couldn't get it, I played around with the server listen block, and I suspect I'm just missing something in there?

This all gets me an A+ on securityheaders.io which is great and all, but what does that actually do for me?
I'm concerned about brute force, DDOS, and some thug trying to muscle into my server.
I've been trying to read up on fail2ban and it's implementation, however from what I've found, because I'm using this for Ombi, and it authenticates off of the users Plex account, this bypasses the fail2ban?
I've tried monitoring the fail2ban status however I get this error when I try to check the status:
docker exec -it LetsEncrypt bash root@d3fc185ce9d5:/$ fail2ban-client -i Fail2Ban v0.10.1 reads log file that contains password failure report and bans the corresponding IP addresses using firewall rules. fail2ban> status nginx-http-auth Failed to access socket path: /var/run/fail2ban/fail2ban.sock.

Any guidance would be most appreciated.

Not using only one container. But, because of the way docker works, you could spin up a second delugevpn container, name it differently, change the host ports to something unique, point it to a different endpoint, and use that privoxy port. Dockers share resources, so it would take practically no resources to operate. You could ignore the second instance of deluge if you wanted, or use it to split your torrent load to the different endpoints also.
Intriguing: Is it possible to make Sonarr split it's requests to multiple DelugeVPN containers?
Apologies if this has been asked an answered here, I skipped right to the end today.

I have some guides on https://technicalramblings.com
https://technicalramblings.com/blog/how-to-setup-organizr-with-letsencrypt-on-unraid/
It's for Organizr but has lots of sub directory examples.
If you want live support I recommend checking out the Organizr discord. https://organizr.us/discord
We help people from scratch getting all set up with a domain and reverse proxy everything everyday.
Thank you so much for your offer, it's a delightful change from the normal response I find on the infrequent posts for help I place here in the forums.
I forced my way though 16 hours of reading posts, (10 invested before my original post), here in the forums, and trial and error after the initial response to my inquiry was basically met with the same information inquired by my posting. It's always frustrating learning new things with unRAID. Spending countless hours scouring Threads that are 100's of pages long, to finally piece together an understanding of a site-conf file, (and change a Cloudflare SSL setting I've still not seen mentioned), is just .... nerve wracking.Especially looking at it now in a completed working form, and seeing it's literally a 10 minute job. If only a quick reference of working files were stickied at the top of a thread, and not needing pieced together through 1800 posts.. (Many examples I found were conflicting, and took a lot of time to find correct syntax) ... and I know I've looked before, but am I not seeing where a Search Thread, or discussion option is?.. I don't even find it in the advanced search... Searching the entire forum for a specific item is ... Futile.
Anyway, I was able to get to the point of a 502 error, and from there I backtracked to one of these posts I'd read having the same issue, and resolving. (setting proxy_pass to http and not https, again conflicting posts in this thread mostly showing https)
I own a Business to Business consulting firm, and I really would love to start offing the benefits of unRAID to our clientele, but the support system is just infuriating. I just can't risk the time that could be potentially lost in troubleshooting answers in the bottomless abyss of these forums.
Disclaimer to those that might think I'm being to harsh: No, I'm not a linux expert, Yes, I know what the search button does, and I typically don't even post until I've worn the thing out. Yes I HAVE learned many things from this forum. Yes, I understand every setup is different, and with different variables.
Though I'm not an expert in all things I.T. I have enough natural talent in the field that I mostly piece things together by deciphering working examples.
I'm sorry for the rant, I guess I'm just very analytical, and wish there was a better learn "on your own support system" for unRAID, or at least a more organized way of finding key information. Time is quite valuable.
Thanks again for your offer of assistance.
(It's late, and been a long day, I'm sure there's a few typos in this post, my apologies.)

Is there a guide or tutorial on setting up the \nginx\site-confs\default file?
I'm on unRAID 6.1.9 (I know old), and when I configure a fresh install everything works great, meaning I can remote to my mail server 400 miles away, browse to subdomain.mydomain.com and get it to redirect me to the https://subdomain.mydomain.com default index.html.
I actually impressed myself because I got it to work through Godaddy redirecting a CNAME to my free-dns subdomain back to the dynamic IP here at home, while keeping the secure lock and correct address in the address bar.
Problem is, I've been hitting a severe roadblock trying to get the correct format in the default site-confs file to get to my OMBI docker container. It seems like everytime I edit the default file, it borks the whole system, and no matter where I connect from I get an ERROR_CONNECTION_REFUSED. Trying to undo edits and save, or replacing the file with a backup resolves nothing, and I end up having to uninstall/reinstall the container, to get back to functional.
EDIT: I did try newperms Tool on my appdata folder, which actually help to speed up my server GUI navigation, but nothing else...
Maybe someone can give me the quick version, but a guide or reference for editing that file would be just as appreciated.
My base url for ombi: /request
Ports are default at 3579 for both container and host as I can't seem to find where I can change that.
and the server's host address is 192.168.0.69
I know I'm close, but just can't seem to get it... It would also be nice to utilize just the sub-domain.domain address for my users navigating to the site omitting </request>.
From what I can tell in the default file example this is possible, no?
Bonus Round:
I have basic authentication turned on for myself and my users, using the built in PLEX account authentication, but what's the most secure way to implement this?
To quote linuxserver.io:
Quote-
If you'd like to password protect your sites, you can use htpasswd. Run the following command on your host to generate the htpasswd file
docker exec -it letsencrypt htpasswd -c /config/nginx/.htpasswd <username>
Is this something I should be interested in setting as well? Any guides, or reference for implementation?
I appreciate the help, as i'm finally getting around to actually using the 2xE5-2670 128GB RAM beast I built a couple years back, ... (The first one at least...)

Hi bonienl,
First thanks for the plugins! I just found this thread a day or so ago, and I'm really enjoying the benefit of quite a few of the plugins.
I posted this in the Dynamix - V6 Plugins Thread, but thought I'd place it here as well.
I was just wondering if it might be possible to add a Second CPU Core Temperature output field to the System Temp plugin?
Those of us running dual CPU systems, (Thanks to the E5-2670 Fire sale), would find it most welcome I'm sure.
Thanks again!

Hi gfjardim,
First thank you for the script/plugin, been using them for a while now since unRAID 6.0, and using Joe L.'s pre-clear script long before. You've made the process such a breeze now.
Quick question, and I'm sure it's been asked before, but I just don't have the time to go through the thread. (Perhaps edit(ing) the first post with updates, and a FAQ?, something I think needs to be done a lot more on these forums, or move to a better forum software... but I digress)
My issue is I'm not getting any S.M.A.R.T. reporting in neither the status view while pre-clear is running, or at the end in my reports. The box is just blank. I'm sure it's a quick fix, and other than that everything is working well.
Thanks again!
S.M.A.R.T. status becomes unavailable if the script can't detect your controller properly. Do you mind sharing your server configuration and which controller is hosting your disk?
I think this has been mentioned a couple of times before in this thread, that some new drives doesn't have SMART enabled by default and therefor need it enabled before starting the script. After adding the drive to the array, SMART is available.
I have had this on a few new drives when using your plugin and script. It might have been johnnie.black that mentioned this.
I question that this is my issue, because I can run full SMART status requests from the unRAID web GUI, and I get full SMART status reporting through the unRAID
GUI as well.
I did try adding the drive(s) to the array and back, but same result.
Feel like I was left at the buss stop.
Any advice?

Quick question, and I'm sure it's been asked before, but I just don't have the time to go through the thread. (Perhaps edit(ing) the first post with updates, and a FAQ?, something I think needs to be done a lot more on these forums, or move to a better forum software... but I digress)
My issue is I'm not getting any S.M.A.R.T. reporting in neither the status view while pre-clear is running, or at the end in my reports. The box is just blank. I'm sure it's a quick fix, and other than that everything is working well.
Thanks again!
S.M.A.R.T. status becomes unavailable if the script can't detect your controller properly. Do you mind sharing your server configuration and which controller is hosting your disk?
But of course,
It's happened on two different controllers now, first the on board Intel C602 chipset controller.
(The board I use also comes with 4 on board Marvell SE923, Though I've not tried on those SATA headers as there's already some known issues in unRAID with the Marvell chipsets. )
The second, and now currently running pre-clear, an Intel RS2WC080 RAID Controller SAS/SATA MD2 6GB/s PCIe 2.0x8 flashed to the LSI SAS2008 IR/IT firmware.
Fun part is if I look at the drives through the unRAID web GUI, all S.M.A.R.T. status is reported, and correct.
I'm moving on from this plugin. Hopefully the information here will help someone in the future should they have the same issues.
(Should they resolve it, please send me a PM
)...
...
If of course, they can ever find it...
Tom at the least should consider using a more up to date, and friendly forum software.
Anyway.
I've found: Every configuration results in the same scenario of no S.M.A.R.T. status results being shown during or after the pre-clear. Including blank S.M.A.R.T. status in the final report saved on the flash drive.
unRAID: 6.1.9
Pre-Clear Plugin: 2016.09.27
Tried 8 brand new drives from various manufacturers including Western Digital, HGST, Toshiba, Hitachi, and Samsung.
(I use Pre-Clear a lot as a way of testing new drives before they go into a client's PC/Workstation/Server)
Drives were tested in AND out of a 5 in 3-5.25" iStar hot-swap bay. They were connected directly to the motherboard as well as to the Raid card in both scenarios, (see previous message for configuration details of RAID controller, and on-board chipset).
Saarg's mention of having to add to the array first to activate S.M.A.R.T. status is outside the question. It would be counter intuitive to add a drive to the array, wait the hours for it to clear, wait for a parity check because of a newly added drive, then remove the drive, wait for a parity check, pre-clear the drive, wait for pre-clear, add the cleared drive to the array, and again wait for a parity check..... Greatly defeats the purpose.
(Waiting for Parity checks in between is exaggerated, but not unreasonable with a server holding data not wanting to be lost.)
Null and voided anyway, as after trying the suggestion, led to the same results.
After having to read through 18 pages, (such the normal process when looking for any guidance with unRAID troubleshooting.)
it was found that aptalca was the one having "similar" issues to what I am experiencing.
I say "Similar" because all of the drives report S.M.A.R.T. status within my unRAID GUI, and all show S.M.A.R.T. status as "Enabled".
FEATURE REQUEST for beta version:
Some newly added drives have smart disabled. In that state if the preclear script (beta) is run, there are no smart attributes retrieved. It kind of defeats the purpose of running the preclear to stress test the drives as one cannot compare the values before and after.
Could you modify the script to make sure that smart is enabled prior to start and enable it if it wasn't?
I currently do the following to enable it manually but sometimes forget or not realize:
smartctl --smart=on /dev/sdX
Thanks
However after using his code via putty session, my drives don't magically start showing the S.M.A.R.T. status as his do...
They actually disappear from the list of drives with in the Pre-Clear Plugin, at which point I have to reboot the server to have the plugin list the drives again.
I would like to expand upon his statement, that there is no "Pre-Clear Start" report generated. Maybe I'm missing something, or perhaps this is also another bug I am experiencing, but Having a Start and End report is quite valuable, I would think?
I frankly just don't have anymore time to put into this. I'll continue to initiate Pre-Clear Via Putty. ... Bummer.

I think this has been mentioned a couple of times before in this thread, that some new drives doesn't have SMART enabled by default and therefor need it enabled before starting the script. After adding the drive to the array, SMART is available.
I have had this on a few new drives when using your plugin and script. It might have been johnnie.black that mentioned this.
I question that this is my issue, because I can run full SMART status requests from the unRAID web GUI, and I get full SMART status reporting through the unRAID
GUI as well.
I did try adding the drive(s) to the array and back, but same result.
Feel like I was left at the buss stop.
Any advice?

Subscribed and watching. This will be quite useful for a few clients I'm getting ready to setup with unRAID servers.
I'll be looking forward to the polished & tested version.

I've been trying to send you PM's but I'm not sure they're going through.
I'll take them, if you're not getting my PM's you can Email me at a burn email account I set up:
Thanks.
EDIT: Removed Burn E-mail.

I did try this, no fix. However interestingly enough, two reboots later, and it's back to what it was.
