  1. I know this has been answered before, however I feel something may have changed since those answers. I would like to run a second instance of this container, however whenever I go to add it again from apps, it just changes the settings of the existing container (I have changed the name of the container, however all that does is change it from 'duckdns' to 'duckdns2' with the same subdomains and a new token - ie does not create a second instance. 

    What am I missing here?

  2. Going to resurrect the dead here, but I hope this can help someone else instead of spending the time that I did on it.

    If you are having trouble with unraid not finding a PWM controller, try adding the following to your syslinux config (under flash)

     

    acpi_enforce_resources=lax

     

    For example, but regular boot is "Unraid OS"

    And the configuration is:

     

    kernel /bzimage
    append initrd=/bzroot acpi_enforce_resources=lax

     

    With that I was able to set a PWM controller and use the plugin

    What you're seeing is normal, and expected.

     

    You've presumably set up sonarr / radarr path mappings something akin to:

     

    /downloads -> /mnt/user/downloads

    /media -> /mnt/user/media

     

    Sonarr / Radarr have to relocate the file from /downloads to be /media.  At first thought you'd think that the system could simply rename the file.  Except that the file exists at /downloads/myMedia.mkv, and you want it to be renamed to /media/myMedia.mkv

     

    The only way to do that is to copy / delete the original, because there is no other way possible to move a file from /downloads to /media.  IE:  You can't move a file via renaming between two mount points.

     

    Your alternative to this is to simply reference everything on all the containers as /mnt -> /mnt, and then renames will happen.  But, then because the system allows renames, the destination file may wind up on a disk in apparent violation of the include / exclude rules and the use cache settings.

    Thanks for the quick reply.

    I figured thats what the issue was, just wanted to be sure that I didn't mess up some paths that was causing a problem.

    Now, that being said, is there a better way to handle downloads with a cache to reduce writes? I would rather not have the media not use the cache drive, and since I have a gigabit connection with simultaneous unpacking/moving, I would rather not use spinners. I assume the way that I have it is the standard?

  4. I have tried looking for a solution or answer to this in the forums, but I think my search kung fu is quite lacking.

     

    Basically I have a /downloads folder in /appdata on the cache pool

    sab downloads to this, then sonarr and radarr move them to TV or Movies (respectively). However since the TV and Movies user shares are set to use cache, rather than just moving the file within the cache drive, it is creating a new duplicate file in the TV or Movies share, then deleting the original from the downloads share.

    Esentially this is causing extra write to the cache drive (once when it downloads, the once again when it unpacks - this is normal obviously, but then it write the same data again within the cache pool in the correct user share instead of simply moving the file)

    I am not sure if this is a linux/mover/copy limitation, or if I have something setup incorrectly.

     

    I am not concerned about time, as these are NVMe drives, however that is WHY I am concerned, I don't want to burn out the drives early.

    Should work normally, as in how you typically reverse proxy sites, not how lsio makes it work.

     

    As long as you can successfully access the site through an IP and port, like http://192.168.1.5:8080, then you just plug that address in to your nginx config.

     

    If you CAN'T get to the site locally, then you will need to fix that first, typically by adding the appropriate port to the delugevpn container.

     

    I reverse proxy sites through swag from a VM, from a second Unraid server, and local containers, all with no issues.

     

    If none of this makes any sense, then you are going to need to take a crash course in how to configure nginx. It's not that hard, but there are differences in how lsio does things that make it so you need to know a little more about how it's working.

    Thanks, after reading your post I realized I was going the REALLY long way around to make this work with swag.

    I just setup nginx proxy manager and everything is working well, really easy to set up.

    So you essentially need the databases folder for watched status, etc.

     

    You can use a script like this to back up on a schedule. https://forums.unraid.net/topic/102290-user-script-for-important-plex-data-backup-v3/?tab=comments#comment-943802

    Thanks for the answer. I seem to have fixed the initial problem, but will give it a go (with a backup in place in case I do something stupid) this weekend.

  7. Havnt been able to find the answer through search, so apologies if I missed it, but is there was way to run a reverse proxy for some containers (sonarr, sab etc) while already having those containers routed through binhex-delugevpn? The problem obviuosly arises when you go to set the network type as they are already going through deluge.

     

    I would basically like to be able to reverse proxy access these containers outside my network as individual sites, while still having them all run through a VPN.

    Hello,

    Having a recent problem that has occurred - plex will no longer transcode/sync files to other devices. Running the most recent version, attached plex logs. Not sure if this should go here or there, or who has some experience with it (most of these requests that I have gone through on the plex forum seem to have no response).

     

    Trying to sync some content to an iphone with the most recent version, plex pass, hardware transcoding. 

    I have tried to disable and re-enable hardware transcoding in plex with no change. Also tried removing docker image, reinstalling the container, etc

    A few files have transferred, but did not require transcoding, or ones that did took a VERY long time (1x speed)

    Likely solved. Not EXACTLY sure what did it, but I ended up making sure the conversion were empty on the server, deleted everything on the phone and another device that had some episodes synced to it, deleted the transcode folder, reinstalled the container, and it seems to be working now. I have a feeling a previously failed batch of sync/conversion that happened when my server had a network issue last week somehow managed to hold everything up

    Along these lines, what would be the best way to do a clean install of plex to make sure everything (setting etc) would be cleared, while maintaining watched and date added/etc status

  10. I recently went through some issues that ended up being my router, have managed to temporarily fixed that with a new router I grabbed last night. Everything is working as is, dockers running fine (aside from plex transcoder not working at all) BUT there is one issue that I cannot seem to figure out.

     

    If I browse the flash drive on the main page, all the files that should be there, are there.

    I can also download a backup properly from the flash page

    If I connect via SMB however, drive shows the correct usable space, but there are absolutely no files listed EXCEPT the logs folder (root directory)

    Attached diagnostics if anyone has any ideas. Could find anything via search.

    What worked for me was (strangely) setting the first DNS entry to my router's default gateway... typically something like 192.168.1.1 unless you have a custom subnet setup.

    Worth a try - but IMO setting up a custom network is more fun than using ISP provided equipment. ☺️

    Yeah, I even tried that. Honestly the ISP equipment is crap and I needed an excuse for something better with actual port forwarding and some network control.

    Please provide the DNS entries you see when using both of the configurations... the finest details can be the culprit with these types of issues (see my post above for all I went through)

    These can be acquired from Settings > Network Settings or the results from cat /etc/resolv.conf at the command line

    I tried my ISP provided ones, 8.8.8.8, 4.4.4.4, 1.1.1.1, various others (open DNS) without any change. Something appears to be messed up on the ISP provided gateway.

  14. Yes, I went through multiple options. In the end, it looks like something is messed up on my ISP provided gateway. I have since bypassed it in bridge mode and am using a proper router until I eventually set up pfsense and a proper home lab.

    Sorry for not responding sooner, i've had a very long 2 weeks and i've done all i can think of to get this working again but having no luck. 

     

    I've tested with DCHP from router, tested changing DNS to OpenDNS IP, Google IP and a whole bunch others. Each time i restart the server and check that it's saved correctly. I've tested with the array off and on, it will all seem fine for about 5-10 minutes after changing settings, but then it'll all fail again. 

     

    I can't install any application, no dockers show any updates, i've also disabled all the user scripts and ran it with the docker services disabled but it's all the same. Not sure what else to try...?

    Were you able to ever resolve this? I have been having some odd behaviour with network tasts on my server (cannot install or update plugins, stalls at 45% when installing something. I bypassed by ISP router and used a (VERY) old 802.1n router and everything seemed to work fine. Back to the ISP router and back to the same problems. 

  16. Update: I have tried the following with still no changes in the above behaviour. 

     

    1. reverting bios back to defaults

    2. Reconstructing flash drive with only transferring config folder over 

    3. Removing newly added nvme drive

    4. Booting into safe mode (no plugins or GUI)

    5. Booting with and without GUI 

     

    accessing flash via smb shows no files present (old ones must have be orphaned files from previous versions?)

    I CAN access user shares it seems without issue via smb or nfs. 
     

    all I can think of is it is either something physically wrong with the USB drive or something in my config folder on the flash drive. 

  17. I was updating a few things yesterday as well as installing a second NVMe cache drive for a cache pool, then noticed that a bunch of things stopped working correctly.

     

    Before I added the second drive to the pool (and moved data off to reformat the xfs cache drive back to btrfs) I noticed that I was unable to download 6.9 RC2 through the update OS tool. Didn't think much of it. So I did it manually. Then I rebooted and after about an hour or so of tinkering around, I was unable to access the webgui. Booted to the GUI on the server itself, no problems there, but still no access.

     

    Put 6.8.3 back on the flash drive, rebooted, and can access the webGUI from a laptop, BUT NOT a phone (iphone, tried a few).

     

    Tried to mount the flash drive to check a few things - it mounts via SMB, however only two files show: ldlinux.c32 and ldlinux.sys. Absolutely nothing else.

     

    A few plugins were not working correctly, so I uninstalled some, however when I go back to reinstall them, the download hangs (usually at 45%). I am on a gig connection, so it appears to be something server side as I can download from the link directly on any other computer just fine. On that note: I cannot download community applications again, nor can I run 'fix common problems' since it needs to download a few things to work.

     

    I am currently in the process of having mover put back appdata to cache, so I cant shutdown anything right now, but wondering if someone would be able to take a look.

     

    The ONLY thing that I can think of is perhaps I am using too many PCI lanes and that is screwing with the onboard NIC? It really seems to have just started with the addition of the second NVMe drive. 

     

    Here is a sample of what trying to reinstall a plugin looks like:
