I am unaware of any changes to this kind of problem. The best explanation of it I have found is here.

To be blunt, no not really. I am in roughly the same boat as you, and many others here in that I made extensive use of the peer to peer backup functionality of Crashplan. I have been searching for a while now but to my knowledge there is nothing that provides the same level (or even a comparable level) of functionality as Crashplan did. Syncthing does have the ease of setup/connecting computers that crashplan did, but it is most definitely not a backup solution (sync is not backup, and its versioning capabilities hardly count). Borg Backup is another possibility but it does not provide an easy to use setup for peer to peer backups. Also its deduplication capabilities are less than ideal for multiple machines. Duplicacy is a new player in the world of backup tools. It appears to have great deduplication capabilities, but the software is still very new and as with Borg there is no easy p2p. Also Duplicacy uses a repo/snapshot model for backup, which so far as i can tell doesnt currently allow for the file versioning granularity that i need. For now I am continuing my search until my Crashplan subscription expires, using syncthing as a stopgap solution to get remote files to my unRAID server where crashplan can back them up.

AFAIK no one has tested or even really talked about de-dup. I dont know much about btrfs features in general, but i would hazard a guess that the usefulness would be hampered by the fact that unRAID uses separate btrfs file-systems for each disk.

PCWorld has an article on a "proof-of-concept VR machine" created by intel, using the OS we all know and love. Also Star Trek. https://www.pcworld.com/article/3222652/gaming/how-we-hosted-a-star-trek-vr-party.html

No not as such. However myself and others have achieved this functionality using the Dynamix S3 Sleep plugin with scripts that run in "before sleep commands".

https://github.com/gilbertchen/duplicacy https://duplicacy.com This looks like an interesting option.

Dockers and VMs are the preferred method for running applications on an unRAID server these days. There remain however, a number of stable and widely used plugins which focus on extending or modifying the capabilities of the unRAID OS and Web Interface in ways that are not achievable using the other methods. Community Applications for example makes installing docker containers and other plugins as easy and integrated as an app store on other platforms, many consider it essential to the V6 unRAID experience.

If you have found those, you have found the "sanctioned" dockers. As far as i am aware Limetech only maintains those two particular dockers. The vast majority of dockers used on unRAID are created/maintained by its wonderful community. The best way to access those is by installing the Community Applications plugin, by the ineffable @Squid.

Sorry for the delay, I can confirm that I am not doing anything special in the before sleep command other than setting the rtc. I dont know if it matters but when i set the RTC i first "echo 0 > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm" to clear it. As I said I have never had any flash drive issues. Shot in the dark, maybe you could try plugging the flash drive into a different USB controller on your mobo.

I am not aware of any, and I dont remember having any flash drive issues on wake-up. I am at work right now so I wont be able to confirm my settings until i get home.

Getting an unRAID server to wakeup on schedule can be hit or miss depending on the RTC hardware in your system. Personally I use a before sleep command that sets the RTC wake alarm directly. For me the command is echo $wake_date > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm

Same thing can happen if you are using a dynamic IP address and it expires while the server is asleep.

Does anyone know if it is possible to create and use swap partition on an unRAID machine and how one might go about it? I have moderate Linux experience and moderate unRAID experience and a crazy notion about experimenting with hybrid sleep. I have been reading on how it is accomplished on other systems, but I am having a hard time determining if there is a way to do a swap partition in an OS that unpacks and runs from RAM. I am already aware that a plugin exists for creating a swapfile, but that does not get where i am trying to go.

I know this is an old topic but I would still like to see something like this implemented. Specifically I would like to be able to hide certain running docker containers from on the dashboard page. My use case involves the following Running a number of test containers from the console, that would not have templates available. Containers that create one or more ephemeral containers. Maybe this could somehow be achieved using docker object labels. Something along the lines of "com.lime-technology.display-icon-on-dash=false".

I have been using "/usr/local/sbin/mdcmd spindown" in my after wakeup command without any problems for quite some time. Is there a compelling reason that i should be using a web-based version like you are suggesting?

Netdata can, but the docker container requires rw access to the docker.sock to do so .

You need to add an after wakeup command to spin (up or down) the drives. It has been discussed elsewhere in this thread, see the link below.

@bonienl is a write-up for plugin creation still in the works?

+1 I currently use macester's plugin. It would be great to have native support.

S3 Sleep v3.0.5 is not working for me as well. In my case neither the buttons nor the sleep timer appears to be working correctly.

If the issue is intermittent this might be relevant http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3163253/wake-lan-working-intermittently.html

I also have very little knowledge of S3 sleep but it looks to me like the "System wakeup disabled by ACPI" happens as the server is resuming from sleep. I would say the message Mar 3 15:15:02 Tower kernel: ACPI: Low-level resume complete marks when the server beings waking up from sleep.

Vizio Smart TVs. Plex support isnt great...but it is there.

Just a shot in the dark here, have you tried with the Enable Hibernation settings set ti Disabled? Also what settings have you used in the Dynamics S3 sleep plugin?
