the trade off that you need to evaluate are - if a docker/plugin/vm/process is writing data to the same disk that unbalanced is writing to, there's a contention for disk allocations, it may (or may not) cause one or both of them to fail, depending on free space - reading and writing from/to the same disk will cause transfers to slow down you know your context the best, so you can make an informed decision if plex is only reading from disk1 and you're transferring between disks 2 and 4, then you should be fine (there might be some additional i/o bottlenecks on the controller, but that's too advanced for me to figure out )

yes, it should show a message not sure about this one, the idea of gather is to collect all of a given folder maybe a different algorithm could be applied, i've been thinking about this, a user could "plug" different algorithms to perform transfers, however it's just in the ideas stage

i tested on my server and it works is it possible that you're giving it too much data and it doesn't show a target disk because there's no available target disk to hold those 2 shares ? (i don't remember i tried that case, but not showing any disk makes sense) if you try selecting a subset of either share, does it work ?

cool, could you open the console (View > Devloper > Javascript Console). to check for any errors ?

ControlR 6.3.0 is available on Apple and Google stores ! v6.3.0 The app is now translated to simplified chinese ! Change the language in the settings. This release also includes some bug fixes

hi, does it work in another browser ? can you test that ?

ControlR 6.2.2 is available on Apple and Google stores ! v6.2.2 Fix docker icon retrieval should fix issues where dockers were not showing up

ControlR 6.2.1 is available on Apple and Google stores ! v6.2.1 Fix issue with docker and vm actions (due to localization) VMs (and potentially Dockers) didn't show controls (actions) when the language wasn't english 😮. Do not fret ! This is fixed now 😀

ControlR 6.2.0 is available on Apple and Google stores ! v6.2.0 Improve visibility of docker names and operations With this release, docker names will be justified and operations will always be visible and vertically aligned in the next release, i will fix some issue related to the controls of vms (and potentially dockers)

there's another issue with the vm controls (and dockers potentially), this will be fixed in 6.2.1

i haven't heard about any new requirements related to plugins in 6.12.8, @Squidis there any change needed on the plugin template ? thanks for the heads up @TwistedCarnivore👍

@T.Wilkei got the email and found the issue, turns out that you changed one of the dockers to use a custom icon, and causes troubles for the app i will publish an update in an upcoming version (i have one update currently under review with apple), it will show your dockers, however it won't display that particular icon, since the path is not reachable from outside the server. i don't see a generic way to support custom icons at the moment, but if you want to display the icon it should be on a path that is reachable from "outside" the server: for example, the docker icons are stored in '/state/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/images/' to summarize, i have a fix that will be available soon so that you can see the dockers, however the icon won't be displayed

hi ! i didn't receive the email 🤔, (i checked in spam too) can you try sending it again to [email protected] ?

yes, i need to fix this, thanks for reporting !

on the screenshot it doesn't look like you're entering a password ? you don't have one set for the server ? i think that became obligatory (i always had one for my servers) ? also if you're logged in to unraid connec (unraid.net), can you try with the long hash name for the server (instead of the ip) ? as for the issue with the dockers/vms not showing the actions, it's working for me on my server @MikeDelta, would you mind running the controlr support script (it retrieves diagnostics info), as described here https://github.com/jbrodriguez/controlr-support ?

correct, that's how the app works if there are errors during the copy part, the app will avoid deleting those files, to allow the user to double check what was the issue. the app uses rsync underneath, and rsync errors are not that user friendly, but in general they are related to incorrect date/time, permission issues, etc., unless there's something wrong with the source disk which surface i/o errors the app runs an `rm -rf <folder>` command when deleting files and that is a discrete part of the operation, so yes, there's room for improvement in terms of reporting back to the user there thanks for the detailed explanation @JonathanM 👍

up next, i'll look into making the plugin more seamless than it is today i also want to explore the following topics - user scripts (i want to take another stab at this) - unlock encrypted servers if you have any other topics that you feel could be explored, let me know

ControlR 6.1.0 is available on Apple and Google stores ! v6.1.0 - Choose language after fresh installs - Determine default language based on device locale - Open matching language faq page - Sort dockers and vms by started/running state - Show feedback on screen taps - Upgrade core libraries This release improves the usability of the app, especially with the touch feedback on buttons and sorting dockers and vms, so that the ones that are running are pushed to the top of the list

the script is updated, feel free to use it at your convenience

ControlR 6.0.0 is available on Apple and Google stores ! v6.0.0 - Fixed issue with camera permissions - The app now supports various languages ControlR is now localized in - English - German - French - Spanish !!! You can choose the language in the settings, I will add a language selection screen that will run on fresh installs If you find any issue with the translations, let me know 😀

that's strange then, never heard of this issue before, would you be willing to create a troubleshooting package as described here https://github.com/jbrodriguez/controlr-support ? i need to make some changes first, because it currently doesn't work (i haven't updated it in a while)

hi, currently the only supported login is root, are you connecting as root ?

yes, i had planned to add it, but it fell through the cracks , will implement it in an upcoming release

the new plugin can be found in community apps, search for unbalanced, more details here

i took a look at the doc, it reminded me of this function in excel that had to solve a constraint, it isn't the one for loan payment, but just can't remember what it was, maybe the one for loan to value ? (🤷‍♂️) i also remembered that the function could potentially not find a solution my take is that this functionality requires multiple passes, each pass consists of multiple data transfers (rsync commands) and a reevaluation after each pass you can't calculate in advance, since it involves data transfers, and even though unbalanced calculates space based on sectors and there's a safety space, there's still overhead depending on how many files are involved (because of inodes and such) this brings me back to the excel function, it's possible that after multiple passes, a solution still can't be found, that is, there's not enough space to move a whole share to a single drive, although a partial fill would probably be a good compromise (maybe?) i can't tackle this, but there might be something there, a simpler version with a different logic that can be further reviewed p.s.: i was wondering if concentrating a share on a single drive is a good practice, parity will save any failure, although it still feels a bit risky to me (considering no backups, etc)
