There doesn't seem to be an Unraid specific support thread on this site, so I'll leave this here, normally you would want to ask in the container's specific support thread. Have you looked around at the documentation linked with the template? https://github.com/lancachenet/lancache-dns

That's SUPPOSED to work properly as well. I prefer full shutdown however.

Could you please fix the first post in this thread with all this updated information? I did what I could, but the whole post really needs to be redone. If that's not possible, please write a clean post in this thread with all the pertinent information and I'll pin it as a recommended post. I'm trying to get this new way of dealing with this container in front of everyone who is posting and asking the same questions over and over.

@ljm42?

Try different machine and bios types, as well as different disk controller emulations. You will need to create a new VM for each test. I'd recommend copying the vdisk files and experimenting on the copies.

How are you accessing the shell screen? Maybe describe your setup?

Keep in mind that if one of the pool members fail, you will lose the whole pool. There is no redundancy in single profile. The pool members are NOT individually readable like they would be under the main Unraid array.

I don't have statistics to back this up, but probably not significantly more or less common than simple fan failures. The issue is the consequences. When you have a water block on your CPU, the amount of thermal mass available to absorb heat is relatively tiny compared to a big block of copper and aluminum. If the water stops flowing for whatever reason, the CPU can reach critical temperatures way faster than if a CPU fan fails. Plus, if the water isn't flowing, is it because the pump failed, or did the water leave somewhere? If so, what did it get wet? The vast majority of people running water cooling don't experience failure. I just don't like the risk / reward balance for a 24/7 server that's mostly unattended.

If you are the paranoid type, being able to send back a failing disk for RMA instead of needing to destroy it can be quite the money saver. Also, done properly, encryption can keep things secret that could cause harm if it would fall into the wrong hands. Some servers are used for proprietary company information, medical profiles, credit information, stuff that would cause massive lawsuits if it were exposed. Not everybody here uses Unraid for just BluRay backup archiving.

Be sure to do your due diligence with respect to the hardware and interfaces needed for accurate audio processing in a VM. Something in the back of my brain is telling me to warn you about VM's with respect to audio processing. I could be wrong, but I'd hate for you to spend a bunch of time and money chasing something that won't produce the results you need.

You can permanently revert to the old style of shutting down by disabling fast startup, but typically you only really need to change the behaviour for specific instances, like was mentioned by the OP.

Hold the "shift" key when you click the "Shut Down" text. Otherwise windows doesn't fully close attached volumes or do a bunch of other cleanup work to enhance startup speed.

Where, exactly, are you changing this?

That's my vote.

Why so large? Normally a VM would be much smaller, with most of the data it needs to use stored on other drives or pools so all VM's could access it. Ideally each VM should be as lightweight and purpose built as possible.

Attach diagnostics to your next post in this thread.

Only bridge mode has any meaning with port assignment and redirection. Since rutorrent is routed through the gluetun container, there are no ports redirected to the host, everything flows through gluetun.

That will work, however, it's explained more fully here. Obviously it doesn't only apply to WD. https://forums.unraid.net/topic/73717-solutions-shucked-wd-8tb-easystore-33v-pin-issue/

Make sure you have good plans in place if there is a leak or a pump failure. Things can rapidly get out of control if either of those things occur, generally you have seconds to minutes to respond to keep from damaging components, so unattended water cooling needs special attention and monitoring.

Read the help description on the cache share settings. "yes" means write new files to the specified pool, and move them to the array on schedule. You want "prefer", so the data is written to the pool and stays there. You will probably need to disable the docker service (NOT JUST STOP ALL THE CONTAINERS) then run the mover manually after changing the setting.

Easiest solution is to temporarily set up a trial version of Unraid on another machine and mount the drives there.

NPM is intended to proxy OTHER servers, not host a site. The SWAG container is a combo package that has tutorials for proxy of other sites, but it also contains a capable NGINX install with built in certificate management from letsencrypt that is easy to set up with a standalone website. It's what I use, and the folders it maps to appdata contain the common folders that you will find in any NGINX website tutorial. If you don't want to use SSL for some reason, there is a plain NGINX container from binhex that works well.
