Hi, Although it's a Nextcloud/Cloudflare tunnel question, my problem doesn't involve the Cloudflared Docker or NPM......... My tunnel was formed using the GUI at the Cloudflare end. I'm happily using a variety of apps...... HA in a VM works great, as do Frigate, Sonarr and all the other 'arrs...... It's just Nextcloud............. It works fine on the local network. I have a Cloudflare Tunnel working to the Unraid server. All my other dockers work fine through the tunnel. Cloudflare returns a 502 Bad Gateway error with the host. That led me to believe it must be my config file and “trusted proxies”. However, I have included my domain through which the tunnel runs and still no joy. Please have a look at my config and comment if there are any errors. Are there any other avenues for me to check? Thanks for looking. Paul $CONFIG = array ( ‘memcache.local’ => ‘\OC\Memcache\APCu’, ‘datadirectory’ => ‘/data’, ‘instanceid’ => ‘ocxxxxxxxxxxxxxxw’, ‘passwordsalt’ => ‘TBxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxDoy’, ‘secret’ => ‘dFxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxnRHo’, ‘trusted_domains’ => array ( 0 => ‘nextcloud.xxxxxx.com’, 1 => ‘localhost’, 2 => ‘10.10.10.30:444’, ), ‘dbtype’ => ‘sqlite3’, ‘version’ => ‘25.0.1.1’, ‘overwrite.cli.url’ => ‘http://10.10.10.30/:444’, ‘installed’ => true, ‘theme’ => ‘’, ‘loglevel’ => 2, ‘maintenance’ => false, ‘updater.secret’ => ‘$2y$10xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx232’, );

Whereas my Intel Quad NIC has been split into 4 separate, selectable NICs...... My reason for asking is that I would like to allocate one of the Mellanox 10Gbe NICs to my pfsense VM and retain one for Unraid.......... Or, is that simply not possible? TIA Paul

It's nothing complicated at all.... Everything is on a standard W10 pc. The LTO drive is connected to a RocketRAID 2720 SAS Controller (Other HBA cards are available). A PCIe x8 slot required for this... With LTFS installed on windows, no other software beyond the normal file manager is required. That's a big plus because the software I used with previous LTO incarnations wasn't cheap. If you're proficient with Linux/Unix software (I'm not!), then I believe handling TAR files (Tape Archives) is native. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_Tape_File_System Your tape appears as a drive and you can drag and drop to your heart's content. You wouldn't want to use it like a HD, but for archiving and backup, it's perfect. Interestingly, LTO6 is a jump in capacity but not so much speed. There's a big jump for LTO7 in both capacity and speed..... but the costs are eyewatering. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_Tape-Open Good luck!

Hi, After an update of a working instance of Zoneminder, I have the problem of; Unable to connect to ZM db.SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No such file or directory On inspection of the log (bottom), it references the MariaDB. When I use mc to try and navigate to the floder/files referred too..... they don't exist.... presumably because the "kill" at the end deletes them? After much frustration, I installed a fresh Zoneminder on my other unRaid server. This server runs as a NAS with no other dockers........ and that works fine! So........... if it's an interaction between Zoneminder and my MariaDB, is there a workaround? I only have MariaDB because of my Nextcloud instance, and they work fine together. This server is my high core/high memory VM and docker server so, although it works, I dont want to leave Zoneminder on my NAS server. Having read through the forum, I've tried deleting templates for a fresh install from CA...... I've tried deleting log files.... but they didn't exist.... presumably because it's never done anything............ I noticed from comparing the Appdata folders that the non-working instance has an extra directory "opencv". My working version doesn't have this even though it was installed after the broken one???

Well, I'm really happy to say that on my W10 machine, with a direct path of the file sitting on the NVMe drive, through the PCIe bus, direct to the tape drive gets me a constant write of 138 Mb/s. I'm a very happy bunny. What's even more pleasing is that he tape is in a constant "write" state rather than a "stop/wind/start writing again" cycle. Which must be better all round for the mechanics of both tape and drive........

I'm in a working Mac.... Yay! Thanks Ed Following up with the VirtManager example, I get the following screen thrown up....... Any ideas gratefully received thanks...........

Hey, good to hear I'm not alone! I do use it exactly for the kind of scenario you say..... backing up my bluray collection every few months....... And, as you say, the biggest single benefit in my use case is that I can add the odd few files to an archive. I have a tape dedicated to each letter of the alphabet whereas in my old LTO2, I would have to run the entire tape again just to add a few (albeit large) .iso files. That's a thought.... I do have 128GB on one of my servers and I believe a RAM disk can use half? It's also connected to the tape pc with a 10Gbe fibre link so that'll be an interesting experiment. ATB Paul

Why do you say that? That's exactly how it can be used if so desired. LTFS allows one to use the tape just like any other drive in Windows. A refinement from LTO 5 onwards.... And it's fantastic....

From a search, it seems that not too many folk are using tape as a backup............ I use LTO 5 with it's LTFS ability to back up my (mainly) media library. I'm looking for any IT professionals out there who may use it in their day job? I'm looking for advice on write speeds and how to optimise them...... and what would be considered good, real life, write speeds....? My reading suggests that the bottleneck with writing to tape drives happens before it actually gets to the drive... In order to minimse that, my workflow is as follows; 1. Rip bluray disk to nvme hard drive on W10 machine. 2. Copy the .iso file over to LTO drive attached to W10 via 6GB HBA card. 3. Only then do I move the .iso file over to the unraid server. I can't think of a more direct/less restricted path, yet I still only get around 80Mb/s...... sometimes less......a long way short of the theoretical max of 140 Mb/s for LTO 5. Any thoughts/hints/tips gratefully received! TIA Paul p.s. Tape is horrifically expensive if one buys new kit, but I buy everything used and it then becomes very cheap indeed over large capacities. I pay about £5/TB for storage as a guide......... After an initial outlay of about £400 for a tape drive and HBA card.

Hi user2352, Thanks for your input..... I have now got it working using that xml..... I don't believe that it was necesary/possible to break up the IOMMU up any more than unraid had already done. That seemed to be the way in the video too........ I was convinced I'd already tried that xml config many times before with no success, so I don't know what I did differently this time.........??? I suspect it may have been to do with restart/reboots.... I wasn't very scientific in taking note of what I tried and in what order. I thought it was enough to stop the VM, edit the xml and then restart it... But, for me, that didn't work........... However, some combination of editing and rebooting the entire machine seems to have done the trick....... but I can't prove it...... Anyway, all is well now! ATB, Paul

Hi David, thanks for the reply.............. I was sure I'd already tried that combo.... but gave it another shot, with the same outcome, unfortunately.

I too am thoroughly frustrated with this!! Folks..... Can I ask you to have a look at my details and see what I have missed please? Like others, I have the 4 Nic Intel card, which pfSense only passes the first NIC through when left to its normal setup.... Following lots of editing tips from this thread, and others, I've arrived here with two NICs in play..... but for the life of me, I cant get the second pair up....... So, I stubbed the NICs... Succesfully arrived in the VM; Edited the XML; End result; I've also tried various combinations of bus/slot/function for that second pair..... all to no avail.......... If I was charging myself by the hour for the time spent on this...... I'd be very, very broke!

Ah, fantastic! Thank you. Paul

Hi, I hope you can help with the following problem...... I must be missing something fundamental here... I'm trying to empty Disc 8 (4TB) with a view to re-formatting it............. As you can see from the graphic, I've got 7TB of empty disc space selected, but it says I haven't got enough space. What am I missing please? Regards, Paul
