I started looking at your edits for the Dashboard... and, dude, it is clearly that your CSS programming skills are way above mine! I started making minor tweaks for colors and icon sizes... but I don't know that I can adjust some critical important things. I think the community would be better served with you implementing the high end codes, and let me, (and other non-pros) tweak colors, borders, and such to their liking. In my screen below, I changed a couple things that should be ultimately user editable. I changed: Background color Text boldness, color, and size Border colors I can still share my low skill level edits for those who like or prefer. But leave to you the high level skill stuff. In essence, your tweaks are to the original code, and my tweaks are tweaks to your tweaks. And users can further tweak. If you are OK, I could help by "Art Directing" some things that you can implement in your code. I think some of these tweaks may require @scolcipitato to implement. Here are my first suggestions. #1 - Include (or option to include) the small icons for the UI's and Logs. #2 - Reduce this margin... to tall compared to the bottom. #3 - Reduce these gaps... No need to separate the icons so much. #4 - If enlarging these icons, padding/margins of the text block needs to be adjusted. Perhaps locate these parts together in the custom CSS would help... Also, I belive changing these margins/paddings affect the Folder Icons as well. #5 - Having to click to activate the mini menu and then select Expand / Compress seems unnecessary. Clicking on the icons and down arrows should toggle expand and compress. Clicking the Docker Icon when expanded can bring up that menu. Do people need that menu when clicking on a Folder icon? Thoughts? Thanks to both of you for this amazing work.

Hello, For the life of me I cannot figure out how to solve this. MOver does not move my newly downloaded image files for my media. It properly moves the video files properly, but not the posters, banners, actors... Manually running the Mover command does not move them either Here is how I have the /Media share configured. Under this folder, I have the Movies and TV folders. Any ideas? Thank you.

Hi Guys, Don’t mean to ignore you… still struggling w less serious issues, and work has been very time consuming. I promise to jump back in soon.

Hi @Mattaton... I was finally able to start Docker Service on my recovering server.... Parity is almost done building. Then I have to rebuild library based on what I lost. Since I have not been able to keep up w/ all the day to day changes, do you think you can share a complete custom.css file...I want to use your version and then make my version tweaks. Do you recall if you started with one of my custom.css files? Thank you! H.

Hi... Unfortunately, I am still trying to rebuild my server... I know I will have a good deal of data loss... Not sure how bad it will be yet. I fear I may still be a week out before I can fire up my dockers. I do not recall the autostart having a different color when stopped. I see that @Mattaton has requested classes for this. Looks like he may be at it. I think we should start a new thread for DockerFile edits; because I have not been able to look at my dockers, I feel I am being left behind. So many new edits and choices. How do we organize it all?

this is fantastic…. Awesome work… can’t wait to try it… my serve is still in intensive care. Thank you!

Sweet! You did this all in custom.css? only tweaks would be to indent the rows of non-expanded folder icons so their left edges align w left edge of expanded large folder icon. also indent the whole block of expanded container icons so visually they look like a subset of the folder icon. would you mind sharing your code? excellent work! ps. I can’t tell the difference between the regular version and fancier versions above….

It would look better if that grey down arrow be on the right side and bigger…. This way all icons would line up. I would also place the top horizontal border above the folder icon. Also give the expanded folder icon and label their own class. This way, in custom.css, one could make the folder icon and name larger to show better hierarchy between folders and the folder contents…. Background of a wrapper for the folder icon and label should run full width as well. This way one could apply a custom background color, and radius corners - again to do better visual distinction between folder and its containers. i would leave all the non-expanded folders as shown above. i wish I could illustrate w some mock-ups… but I’m still struggling to rebuild data…

Just a thought... something better could be achieved w/ Nextcloud. You create your users, open internet access to it via Swag reverse proxy, and then your users have the equivalent of Dropbox.

Thank you @itimpi. Please confirm these are the steps I should follow: Assign a new drive 15, and let unRAID rebuild this (with all the "lost & found") Keep Disk 6 still unassigned. I think this started failing with read errors. Replace the disabled Parity drive, and rebuild the parity. Assign a new Disk 6 and format it. Insert the spare drive as an UD, and copy the Disk 6 data I managed to save. Enable Docker Service. Start working on the "lost and Found" directory and compare to what my saved folder listings (see more below) to start replacing whatever media I cant recover. I could evaluate what media is worth replacing - it may be OK to cull the collection. I have my system run the below command daily so I can log exactly what is stored in each drive. I did not author the script, and I cant recall who did to give proper credit (but I love that person very much!!). I copied the file to my Win machine for safe-keeping. This only logged Movies and TV... I would not have any other record of other non-media files stored in that drive. Hopefully nothing much. Lost & Found possibly saved something. #!/bin/bash DATE=`date +%Y%m%d` REPORTS_PATH=/mnt/cache/appdata/reports echo "Searching for movies and TV shows..." mkdir -p $REPORTS_PATH find /mnt/disk*/* -maxdepth 2 -mindepth 2 -type d -not -iname '.*' \( -path "*/Movies/*" -or -path "*/TV2/*" \) -print | sort -k1 > $REPORTS_PATH/media.catalog_$DATE.csv echo echo "Finished." echo echo "File created at "$REPORTS_PATH/media.catalog_$DATE.csv echo While the "Lost & Found" procedure may be tedious, I am patient... and it will give me something to do. Please advise. Thank you.

For Disk 6, I managed to copy some data off it when it started failing to a spare drive. This I copied on another system (PartedMagic). I copied until I ran out of space in spare disk. I still have the original, and I can try to keep copying more. i also have listing of folders / sub folders in all my drives. I can alway rebuild my media back.

I ran the xfs_repair… it went through a lot of errors. When it finished, I started array, and there was only a “lost and found folder”. In it, there are many numbered folders. Some were empty, and some had files in it. Since it’s media, I can decipher what they are. I am not sure how complete it is. i still have it showing as “no device” since we unassigned it. Should I assign the drive again and have it rebuild? Feeling some hope. thank you.

I did that and drive contents are not emulated. tower-diagnostics-20230911-1701.zip

Hi... unassigned one of the disks, and started the array... Array does not start. tower-diagnostics-20230911-0713.zip

Thank you @JorgeB. I powered down the server; disconnected one of the new array drives, and upon reboot, array is stopped citing "configuration change". EDIT: I did the same with the other drive and got the same results.

Thank you. I stopped the array to prevent anything being written. I could run the extended smart test on the bad parity.

Diagnostics attached.... Thank you. tower-diagnostics-20230910-1545.zip

Started the array, and drives show un-mountable.

I ran the two drives without the -n for about 24 hours and at the end it simply said “exiting now”. I bought another 16TB drive yesterday that I’m pre-clearing. It will take time… after which I will reboot the server and create the new diagnostics. thank you.

Happy to help… if/when…

Hi, I gave a try to make the Docker Folders behave like the above screen…. Did not have much luck… @scolcipitato I think there needs to be some code to separate Folders from Dockers. I assume the challenge is how to put folders together continuously, when the docker lists are closed, and separate them when some/all Folders are expanded (like image above.. I would keep trying but my server is in bad shape. I had three drives fail within days. One of them being a parity… two of the drives well within warranty. I fear data loss of about 20TB…. ; ( Shameless attempt to get more eyes on my issue (please don’t respond here. I don’t want to hijack this thread):

Thank you Jorge... I repaired Disk 10 using xfs_repair on a separate computer (using PartedMagic). It ran without issues. I put back in my unRAID on a different sata port/card and seems to work OK. Ran xfs_repair in Maintenance mode a couple times and it looks happy. I am currently running xfs_repair on both the new array drives (6 and 15). Its been running for a couple hours and this is what I see Phase 1 - find and verify superblock... bad primary superblock - bad CRC in superblock !!! attempting to find secondary superblock... .... Those dots ...... at the end, scroll horizontally for a long time. The read count on the drives keep going going up, so I will leave it for a while. These two were the drives that unRAID rebuilt with one disabled parity drive. It ran it too fast (like in 6 hours) and I don't think it did a proper job. I still have one of the Parity drives showing as disabled. I will wait for something to happen to the currently running repairs, reboot and run a new diagnostic. Thanks again. H.

Thank you Michael. Small update. I have changed all the cables and the situation is still bad. I am attaching diagnostics... Once again I am having to fs-diskrepair the same drive I did before. It keeps getting corrupt and becomes unmountable. When the Array is mounted, it is offering me to format the two replaced array drives. I don't want to do this until I find out if there is a way to rebuild something. Please help... not sure how I can get some of my data back. Thank you, H. tower-diagnostics-20230908-2208.zip

Hi Guys, Pretty desperate. Long story short. I have had a lot of drives fail in the past week - Three so far. I suspect issue of bad cables. I have ordered new Sata and Sata power cables. Awaiting their arrival. My server has 14 array disks and two parity drives. One nvme cache drive and 1 ssd cache backup drive mounted via Unassigned Devices. At one point, one of the array drives showed as failed (a 16td drive bought 8 months ago) and then another old 4tb showed as failed. I orderd new ones . I replaced the 16th and the 4Tb (with an 8Tb). While pre-clearing, I was moving around some files. One of my parity drives shows SMART errors and eventually failed. The error was the attribute Disk Shift... it had a fairly high count of around 500,000. After pre-clearing, I assigned the new drives to the two array slots. After rebooting, I also had another drive showing data corruption. I was able to run fsdisk repair, and brought it back. Then, while still in Maintenance mode (in Safe Mode), there was a SYNC button for Data Rebuild (I cant recall the exact label). I hit that, and it started re-building. It went somewhat fast... like 6 hours to rebuilt 16TB... I suspected this was not right. I let it finish, and when starting array (in non-safe mode), indeed the two drives show as un-mountable. I took the failed Parity drive to another machine and ran a Short Test on it. It showed no errors, and still the high Disk Shift count. Nothing else seems abnormal. I took the drive and put it back in the server. Booted and it still shows disabled (missing). As of right now, I have one disabled Parity and the two newly assigned drives. I have shut down the server, while awaiting the new cables. If I start the array, the two new array drives have been assigned. If I un-assign them to no device, and re-add them. Same thing happens when I start the array. The whole thing started when I upgraded the cache and cache backup to larger capacity and do the ZFS pools conversion for both. I then tried to re-use the old nvme and ssd to create a future ZFS pool. Since my motherboard has only one nvme slot, I bought and installed an nvme to pcie adapter card which I plugged into an available slot in the mb. It all seem to work fine... I worry that it was this card that messed things up. I have since removed it. In essence, I don't know if this is the culprit for all the issues. Questions: Is there a way to bring back the one parity back so I can rebuild those two drives? How can I make the two new array drive start a data rebuild? I know that you need two Parities to re-build two array drives. What can I expect if the one bad parity cannot be brought back? Any thought what could be causing all those failures.? Any ideas to resolve the potential underlying issue? For SATA controllers, my Supermicro MB has three mini SAS connectors with SF-1087 to 4 sata data connections each. I also have one of those LSI / Adaptec (cant recall) cards in a PCIE slot w/ 2 SF-1087 to 4 sata cables each. This card has been working for years. Waiting for Amazon to deliver, but not hopeful that this will be the right solution. Any advice is greatly appreciated. I am not sure how / what I need to send one of those diagnostic test results... if needed, please point me in the right direction. I recall some ages ago having to install something in my Windows machine so that unRAID dumped the logs into it. Thank you!! H.

Glad someone is using my examples... I was not sure if anyone knew of my customizations. I even managed to add some css browser width detection. If I am on my tablet, it gets more compressed than when on my desktop.
