The issue is with unRAID not this plugin. Last I was aware there was an open PR fixing the issue.
-
Is there a question here? I dont really understand the post.
-
The changes you are making are likely not taking effect. There is a long standing issue with how dockerman handles the webui and icon labels. Basically it caches them the first time a container is seen and subsequent changes dont have an effect. Try restarting your server, that may fix the webui label issues.
-
That is a Dockerman question. The compose plugin only assigns the labels to the containers. Unraid's builtin Dockerman is what actually reads the label and caches/displays the icon.

Can no longer build Docker images after update to 6.12.8

Did you get any response on your support ticket? -
Problems with Unraid if the owner passes away....
primeval_god replied to TRusselo's topic in General Support
Still having that flash drives fail with that frequency is not normal. It suggests some sort of hardware or configuration problem. Do you notice continual writes to your flash? -
Is this a container run via unRAID's built in Dockerman interface or by some other method?
-
Anyway to install something that isn't a docker?
primeval_god replied to FlyingTexan's topic in General Support
Other options for installing things are via virtual machines, or LXC containers (using the lxc plugin) -

primeval_god replied to TRusselo's topic in General Support
If this is the case then you are doing something very wrong. I have been using the same flash drive for 5+ years without issue. On a normal unRAID system the flash drive incurs minimal reads and writes as the os is run completely from ram. The only writes should be one the occasion that settings are changed or plugins or OS is updated. -
Logs (specifically anything that mentions swapfile) and the specifics of your settings would be helpful. Also the actual unRAID Version as i am not certain what the last 2 minor releases were.

This thread is not really the right place to ask about issues with specific compose stacks, unless the problem is with the compose manager plugin rather than the stack itself. Having lots of people post whole compose files in this thread makes it harder for others to find info about the plugin itself. I am not really an expert on compose files in general and i dont use that specific application so i dont know how much help I can be. On general observation is that you should remove the version: "3.8" at the top of the file. Compose no longer requires it and actually recommends against calling out a specific compose version in compose files to better support mixing and matching syntax from various version of the compose spec.

I think what you are looking for is the label "net.unraid.docker.webui". You can apply this label to a container created by Portainer (or any other container creation method) and set its value to the url of your container and unRAID will show a WebUi button for the container. There is also a "net.unraid.docker.icon" for setting an icon (url to the icon) and "net.unraid.docker.shell" for setting the shell option (bash for example). Important to note there is a bit of buggy behavior with these labels in that unRAID caches the value and subsequent changes are not reflected in the ui. So essentially you get one shot at setting these things, make sure they are correct before spinning up a container with one (it is possible to wipe the cached value but its not as simple as a page refresh).

Turning "Monaco Text-Editor" a Lightweight Editor into an Unraid Plugin
primeval_god replied to 10bn's topic in Plugin System
Several plugins that include editors are based on https://ace.c9.io/ -
unRAID has always been a purely home solution and i would never recommend it for business purposes.
-
I dont know about GOHardDrive but since you mention ServerPartDeals I will say that i have had great success with their "Manufacturer Recertified" Drives? In my experience and from what I have read those "manufacturer recertified" drives are basically good as new. I use them in my main array without any additional worry.
-
This. Files do not span between disks.
-
Why not? Using containers to run scripts is actually quite convenient. See my comments in this thread for more info on how to do it.

No. I am not a fan of autoupdates for anything, but especially not container stacks. If you are looking to auto update containers i would suggest looking into watchtower.

Seeking NAS Solutions: Advice Needed for Small Operation
primeval_god replied to Kiara_taylor's topic in Lounge
I will start with a boiler plate opinion of mine which is, unRAID should not be used for business purposes, especially without someone who is deeply familiar with the OS. unRAID is designed for home usage and (in my opinion) the security and support guarantees are not at a level that meets the needs of a business. If you have no experience with NAS devices my recommendation would be to look into a totally off the shelf solution like something from Synology or a similar company. They are more expensive, but the support and reliability are more inline with business needs. It sounds like that may be what you are looking for. A NAS is just a dedicated network storage device, not unlike the windows server you are already using though typically focused on file storage only. No, most NAS devices dont run windows and happily co-exist and support windows networks. One word of caution though, typically you should have someone familiar with Linux if you intend to integrate a linux machine on a windows network. This is less important if you are using a NAS appliance solution that just happens to be Linux based (synology, unRAID, etc), but if a generic linux server distro (debian, ubuntu, etc) is something you are considering then you want someone who knows about integrating linux in a windows network environment. Here are a few more bits of advice for you (I am not looking to argue with any of the other replies above). It is important to understand the difference between RAID (which in this case includes RAID like solutions like the unRAID array) and the different forms of backup. RAID IS NOT BACKUP. RAID is meant to protect against hardware (specifically disk) failure and keep your data available if a disk should fail (downtime costs money). There are many things that it does not protect against including, corruption, accidental file deletion, filesystem problems, intentional (malicious) file deletion, and others. That is why a good backup strategy is crucial regardless of your hardware redundancies. Some things to consider for backup, you must have multiple physically separate copies of your data. Typically a local copy (on another machine or a removeable disk), and an offsite copy (cloud based or the old disk in a safety deposit box) are recommended. Retention strategies are also important, i.e. how often are backups done and how long are they kept. You might for instance have filesystem snapshots done on you data hourly, which get kept for a week, and daily backups to your local and offsite solution which get kept for a months and weekly backups that are retained for longer (note this is an off the wall example, not advice on a specific solution). Finally an very importantly, you must periodically test your ability to restore from all your various backup locations. You never want to be in a position where you need to restore from a backup only to find that it hasnt been working for some reason. Another thing that you should consider is the type of files you are storing and how they need to be accessed. For instance you NAS solution could look very different depending on if you are storing mostly text files, or media files like video. Also important is how many people/machines need access to the file at once and at what kind of speed. -
I think somewhere on the forums someone has scripted something to this effect, but my advice is that it is not worth the time. I believe that an upcoming version of unRAID will fix the display of update status for non-Dockerman containers.
-
You cannot update containers created via compose using the built-in unRAID Docker page. Also the Update status displayed in the unRAID webui is not valid for containers that were created through means other than Dockerman.
-
Take a look at these plugins https://github.com/dcflachs/compose_plugin https://github.com/dcflachs/swapfile_plugin particularly the pkg_build.sh as an example of how to build a .plg Its something I was asking for a long time ago, but it never happened.
-
Its a known issue with the way dockerman shows networks.

Is ZFS the future of Unraid? Do you want it to be?
primeval_god replied to MrCrispy's topic in Lounge
I dont think, generally speaking, that unRAID users are going for ZFS. Its inclusion seems like mainly an attempt to bring in people from truenas who see ZFS as an essential (mainly due to a perceived need for speed and bitrot protection). -
For the compose plugin there is no way currently to control the order in which stacks start, but that shouldnt matter as you should not have dependencies between stacks. As for containers within a stack I believe compose files have syntax to control which containers depend on others to start. An issue some people have is with stacks that depend on external networks. Specifically the docker networks that unRAID creates change on every bootup thus containers must be recreated (rather than restarted) on boot. There is an option in the plugin settings to recreate containers on startup, but my recommendation is to just use custom docker networks and ignore the ones unRAID creates.
