  1. <sarcasm> Geez, couldn't they make it any more convoluted and cryptic?</sarcasm> Now I feel silly for not having thought of that. Seems obvious now.
  2. It looks like one was made automatically or something. The time stamp looks like it was probably around the time I rebooted. I also included the one I just ran. I don't really know why way around the diagnostic files though. tower-diagnostics-20210221-1121.zip tower-diagnostics-20210221-1520.zip
  3. This morning I found I could not log into the UnRaid GUI nor any Docker app I have running under the same IP but a different port. I think the Dockers are actually running though because I can access my Plex server from outside. I can SSH in putty so I did a clean shutdown and then started it up again. Unfortunately, the problem still remains. I'm not sure how to post diagnostics without the GUI. I'm not sure what happened overnight that caused this. Any help is appreciated. Note: ps aux | grep emhttp shows emhttp is running
  4. Support thread for rmlint Docker container rmlint finds space waste and other broken things on your filesystem and offers to remove it. Features: Finds… …Duplicate Files and duplicate directories. …Nonstripped binaries (i.e. binaries with debug symbols) …Broken symbolic links. …Empty files and directories. …Files with broken user or/and group ID. Differences to other duplicate finders: Extremely fast (no exaggeration, we promise!) Paranoia mode for those who do not trust hashsums. Many output formats. No interactivity. Search for files only newer than a certain mtime. Many ways to handle duplicates. Caching and replaying. btrfs support. It's worth noting this Docker compiles rmlint from source. As such, it should always be the latest version of rmlint. The base image used for this Docker is based on Ubuntu and their repo has rmlint but it is several years old. The base image is linuxserver/docker-baseimage-guacgui which uses Guacamole to provide a webUI. By default the webui has no username and password set. Application Name: rmlint Application Site: https://rmlint.readthedocs.io/ Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/bobbintb/docker-rmlint-unraid Github: https://github.com/sahib/rmlint Post any questions or issues relating to this docker in this thread.
  5. I came here to make the same request so I'll add my support to this. I do believe that it does indeed say that the port is already in use. Regardless, I think it would be nice if it checked and informed you before you save the template, maybe even prevent it from saving if the port is already in use. Currently, I expand docker allocations on the template page and can check that but it would be more convenient if it put a red asterisks or flashed or something if it was already in use. It's not usually a problem as most docker image creators check to make sure another CA docker isn't using the same port but it's a much bigger issue if you use the Docker Hub.
  6. I don't either on the webUI. I don't know about that particular option but I do know that the webUI doesn't have all the feature available that the desktop GUI does.
  7. I'm upgrading my unRaid hardware and while the parts are on their way, I am thinking about how to setup some new VMs. I plan on having one VM as my main workstation with a superfast nvme SSD. I have 32 cores and 128gb of RAM to play with. I plan on having a few other VMs for the kids so they can play games either alone, or we can all play together. I will have a nice new graphics card and they will each have an older one I have lying around. In doing this though, I would probably have to get new nvme drives for those VMs. That would take up a lot more slots, which is ok, but then there is the cost involved. If I just use virtual drives, that might be fine if only one person is using it, but having all virtual drives on the same physical drive would probably be problematic, unless I forked over more money for a superfast one again. But then I am back to my original problem of increased cost. Also, it seems silly for each person to have their own drive, OS installation, and all have mostly the same games installed. In an enterprise environment, I'm used to users just each logging in and every user can be logged in at once on the same Windows installation. I don't really have any experience setting something like that up though and it also has the issue of resources. I can't dedicate a video card to each user, or RAM, or CPU cores, or whatever. At least as far as I know. I have worked in such environments a lot but I don't know a lot about the actual capabilities of such a setup. I am really just looking for ideas and suggestions, things I haven't thought of or considered in setting this up. Kind of looking for the best of both worlds or the most ideal situation I can.
  8. That was true once upon a time but they have been working for a while.
  9. I didn't think so, and that's what I'm finding. I'll probably just use my existing stuff for now and hopefully it will be fine. I haven't looked at how many more ports I need. I see same SAS stuff too, but I have no actual experience with it and I think it's all gen 3 anyway.
  10. I'm getting a new motherboard and it doesn't have enough SATA ports for all my storage. I have PCIe card I can use, but I'd rather use them for other things like video cards and use the extra M.2 slots I won't be using. I've seen several adapters that give 5 ports using the JMicron 0585 chip. My motherboard has PCIe Gen 4 and the JMicron 0585 chip uses Gen 3 (https://www.amazon.com/Internal-Non-Raid-Adapter-Desktop-Support/dp/B07T3RMFFT/). That's fine and all, but I have been looking for a similar adapter that uses Gen4 that will have more ports than 5, due to the increased bandwidth. I haven't yet found anything. Does anyone know is anything like that is available yet?
  11. Oh, no doubt. I'm just saying, price aside, it's pretty awesome. I can't wait for something like this to be financially practical.
  12. This might have already been posted but damn: https://www.techradar.com/news/want-to-cram-super-fast-64tb-storage-in-your-pc-theres-a-raid-card-for-that This is seriously giving me a nerd boner. I could replace ALL my mechanical drives with this thing, super quiet, much less space, and no need to worry about vibration from a dozen spinning drives. Plus, the speeds, OMG... My kids don't need college, right?
  13. Has anyone seen a PCIe 4.0 version of the M.2 adapter? Since the PCIe 3 one has 5 SATA ports, I'm hoping a PCIe 4 version will be able to handle 10 but I have yet to see any.
  14. He's got to catch up to Musk and reclaim his title. Last one to a trillion is a rotten egg!
  15. Ah, of course. Not as obvious but that will work just fine. Thanks.
  16. I thought for sure there would be a way to do this but I haven't found anything. I can edit the VM and change the ISO but it reboots the VM. Or at least that's what I recall the last time I did it. Is there a way to "eject" it while the VM is running? It can be a real pain if you need to use an ISO for anything other than installing the OS.
  17. Thanks, that's helpful. I believe Zen3 only takes unbuffered. I did see Kingston RAM that will work, which just appears to be the same RAM you posted but their branding. Unfortunately, it's literally the only one I have found that is ECC unbuffered, unless I want a smaller module size. I'd rather avoid that so it doesn't complicate future upgrades.
  18. I am planning on building a new UnRaid server that will also run a few gaming machines with a Threadripper. I would like to get ECC RAM for the server but I don't really know how that will perform for gaming. It looks like a lot of the ECC RAM is much slower than RAM designed for gaming. Would it make much of a difference to use the slower ECC RAM for gaming? Would I be better off putting ECC only in a few DIMMS and gaming RAM in the rest? Will that even work?
  19. I just haven't really seen options from those manufacturers. Plus Supero uses server-grade components. I'd like to be able to support a CPU with a lot of cores (16+) and RAM (64gb+) so I can have a few gaming VMs. Enough PCIe slots for 4 video cards, and a few for SATA expansion. Enough SATA ports so I don't need a ton of extra cards. I'd like it to support PCIe 4.0 but it's not a deal breaker since I won't get much use out of it now. But I plan on keeping it around for years to come. I'm also thinking about switching back to AMD CPU but I'm finding fewer AMD options. Intel has been lagging, more power hungry, more expensive, and always has security issues. A lot of those gaming mobos don't have an many PCIe lanes, DIMM slots, a lot more bells and whistles I don't need, and cost more. I'm just looking for anything that will fit the bill.
  20. I've been looking for a motherboard that is somewhere between a server and gaming motherboard. After some research, I think the Supero line by Supermicro looks pretty promising. However, a search on this board turned up nothing. Has anyone had any experience with these?
  21. I'm looking to upgrade my server: M/B: ASRock Z87 Extreme11/ac CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-4771 CPU @ 3.50GHz Memory: 32 GiB DDR3 (max. installable capacity 32 GiB) 0215 CMY32GX3M4A2400C11, 8192 MiB DDR3 @ 1333 MT/s 0215 CMY32GX3M4A2400C11, 8192 MiB DDR3 @ 1333 MT/s 0215 CMY32GX3M4A2400C11, 8192 MiB DDR3 @ 1333 MT/s 0215 CMY32GX3M4A2400C11, 8192 MiB DDR3 @ 1333 MT/s It's pretty old but has served me well for at least a decade. I'm hoping to build something that will also last me as long but seeing it's been 10+ years since I built a system, I'm not up to speed on the current hardware. The biggest issue is trying to figure out what components have want I want. I'm thinking of switching to an AMD processor. I used to exclusively use AMD but haven't for a while. They seem to be out on top again and have usually been cheaper. They also don't seem to be as plagued with the security issues common to Intel. But I don't know anything about their chipsets either and they don't seem to be as robust as Intel's. I hope to make a few gaming PC VMs in Unraid, once with a nice beefy new nVidia card for me and a few older ones for the kids. I run Plex and a lot of other Dockers. I'd like to have a dedicated card for Plex, or at least be able to easily swap undedicate it if 3 or 4 people want to game all at once (not a necessity, probably will never happen). One problem is, I don't seem to see as many AMD mobos that have a lot of PCIe slots. I will also probably need a PCIe slot for a controller card for my hard drives. I see some mobos with 4x PCIe but a lot of the share lanes. Probably not a big deal if they are PCIe 4.0. I did some research and it seems PCIe 3.0 x16 and x8 performance for video card is the same. PCIe 4.0 being twice as fast means x4 should in theory be able to run a video card without any performance hit. I don't know for certain and it probably depends on the card I get. I'm thinking of a high end 300 series when they come in stock. I see more Intel mobos with upwards of 7 PCIe slots but I don't think I've seen an Intel board with PCIe 4, not a deal breaker. I'm also considering Xeon, as I can get lots of cores for VMs and lab machines for all my projects and tinkering. Those can be pretty cheap second hand. I don't see anything comparable in AMD. Their processors that have a lot of cores seems to greatly out perform Intel (not sure if that includes Xeon) but there doesn't seem to be a second hand market for them yet. So, I'm just a little overwhelmed at trying to find out what fits my needs and wants. I would like: CPU - minimum 16 core/32 threads. MOBO - support minimum 64GB DDR4. Probably more for all the VMs and dockers but mostly concerned - minimum 4 (possible 3) PCIe x16 slots (3.0 or higher). At least one other PCIe slot for controller cards. - prefer onboard video, not a deal breaker. Can anyone recommend a mobo and CPU, or a chipset to look into? I'm not worried about cost for the moment.

  23. I'm wondering, has anyone tried running UnRAID from a Raspberry Pi, or an array of Pis? I'm not sure if it's possible but wondering with version 4. My hardware has been rather outdated for a while but I just haven't felt the need to invest in newer hardware yet. I'm wonder if a Pi setup might be worth exploring. The new compute modules based on 4 just came out. The improvements have gotten me considering the possibility. I know the biggest issue is UnRAID not being ARM, but other than that...
  24. Thank you both @mtongnz and @naughty beatle. I think those both will be very useful for what I am trying to do.
