Hi, it's written in the FAQ, from a user standpoint (what should I do as an app user), instead of from plugin's view (auto means ssl). The last version of the app always connects to the plugin via ssl, regardless of the Unraid setting, so it shouldn't be a problem You already solved it by doing ssl=yes, but I'm not sure what issue you were having. Were you unable to add the server ? Were you unable to access the additional features the plugin provides ?

I remember something like this happened before, not sure what was it. The check box is disabled until there's enough input for the operation, make sure about that. If you can try on Chrome, could you check the dev console for any errors? Last option, send me the log (/boot/logs/unbalance.log), to take a look. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi, I'm away from my development machine, so I can't look at the history. I'll take a look next week and report back. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Glad it's working now ! I'll check the code about the no password root, I think the app probably switches to a non root/admin interface if no password is provided, but I don't quite remember if that's the case right now.

Hi RobertP, When you added the server, you entered some user other than root. When that's the case, the UI becomes minimal, basically to control dockers/vm, with user permissions that you can set via the plugin's web interface. If you delete the server in the app and add it back with root user, you'll see the full UI.

Right, as BRiT mentioned, choosing more drives will scatter the data across disks, but if the data you're trying to move fits one of the disks, it will put it all there. unbalance doesn't "balance"/fill disks evenly, that's more of an intrinsic feature of Unraid, by using share rules.

Hi, unBALANCE works at the disk level not share level, so it won't consider any share rules you set. I'd guess you're doing a scatter? The concept for scatter is to empy a disk by moving data to other disks you choose: you can choose one, some or all of them. It's up to you. Hope this helps.

Is the power on button disabled ? The server version shouldn't have that much of an impact since it's a wake-on-lan packet basically. It shouldn't be enabled until your server is powered down.

Right, with ssl set to yes, you need to add the server securely in the app. In any case, glad to know you sorted it out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Awesome! Thanks for the confirmation [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've published an update for the app, this should fix the issue with the scrolling stats. They will not auto scroll anymore (if there are enough separate stats), you now scroll it manually.

v4.5.0 is available on the App Store / Play Store ! This release updates replaces the scrolling marquee for server stats, with a fixed scrollable view. Also, base components have been updated.

Thanks, I'll look into this next week. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi, thanks for the report. This just started happening ? Did you upgrade iOS ? Just looking for something that may have triggered it. I'll take a look. I've been thinking to make that section fixed, but scrollable, for a while, mostly considering battery consumption. If I can reproduce the issue, I'll probably end up doing it.

Thanks for presenting this scenario jonathanm. I was surprised by how much overhead xfs had, the last time I formatted a disk. I'm thinking about raising the hard limit to 1Gb, although one can always go above it in the settings, if so preferred. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The plugin reserves a minimum of 512Mb as a hard limit, but you can go higher in the settings. There are some forum members very knowledgeable on the hard disk subject matter and they prefer not to have disks "filled to the brim". On the other hand, if you use your hard disk as "read-only" (fill it with contents, start with a new disk, repeat), it shouldn't really be a problem, and you skip the fragmentation you mentioned.

Hi, Short Answer Use unbalance exclusively. No other dockers/vms/plugins/mover touching the disks. Long Answer The bottom line is if you're moving content outside unbalance when it's running, the assumptions it made may no longer be valid. That is, it thought you had 40Gb free on disk1, but a docker or mover dropped it to 35Gb. Maybe it will still work, but it's very possible that it won't (out of space, source not found, etc) If you know what you're doing, that you won't be touching the disks that unbalance is operating on, then keep running dockers/vms, but you want to be sure that doing so won't have side effects.

It skips deletion when there was an error with the rsync command, specifically error 23, which is quite generic. When that happens the rsync command is flagged and when you look at the operation in the History tab, it appears with a yellow icon and an 'rmsrc' button on the left. The idea is that you check why it was flagged (permissions, timestamps, etc) and if you want, you manually remove the source with the 'rmsrc' button (some more details here) You have performed some other operations, so you can't replay that specific operation. Why don't you delete the sources manually, not optimal but it should work.

It looks fine. Yet the plugin can't connect to port 443 (connection refused). It seems that the webGUI isn't actually listening on 443, but I can't really tell.

v4.4.0 is available on the App Store / Play Store ! This release adds support for Unraid 6.6 (docker operations). It brings back the web ui icon for dockers (it wasn't showing in v.4.3.0)

Hi, Yes, I didn't address this issue because I'm not sure how to solve it from my end. If you go to Settings > Identification, what port is ssl is set to (I guess it's grayed out) ?

v2018.10.03 (2.14.0) is out ! This release always starts the api endpoint on https. Other changes: - Remove $GOPATH from stack trace - Go lint (revive) - Fix Go lint errors

v4.3.0 is available on the App Store / Play Store ! This release adds support for Unraid 6.6 (docker operations). Additionally, it improves the connection logic with the companion plugin. Finally, an icon is now shown next to the server name, to identify if it was added via http or https. Make sure to upgrade the ControlR plugin to the latest version as well.

Thanks for reminding me about this. You can connect with other users but you need to use the root password (this is due to how Unraid currently operates). I have to update the FAQ to inform about this properly. About the docker operation, the latest app release I'm about to publish adds support for 6.6.x

Try ss -p on the backup server, it should show which process owns port 443. In any case, I'm getting ready to publish a release that improves the app/plugin connection logic.
