If you need to connect to any of your services from outside your home, you connect to your duckdns address. Duckdns makes sure it's always pointing at your home IP address by updating its IP periodically (since your ISP will likely change your IP address every now and then). You'd need to configure your router/system, but some use cases might be... Access your files via FTP Connect to your network over a VPN Host website on your home network and/or Access docker interfaces remotely (eg, Sonarr, Radarr, Deluge, etc.) This is all about accessing your home from a remote location (whereas when you set up the delugeVPN, that's dealing with traffic leaving your house). Unless you're lucky enough to have a fixed IP address supplied by your ISP, it will change. Duckdns tracks it and gives you an address that always points to your home (when the log says it's updating the IP , it's updating the one that Duckdns uses to match the one that you've already got).

FWIW, the link takes me to the secure page just fine.

Flash should be a hidden share on your unraid system (unless you've changed it), so if you're on Windows, open Windows Explorer and enter... \\<ip of server>\flash\ OR \\tower\flash\ (assuming your unraid box is called tower) From there, go to logs, and the log file will be in there

Doesn't take that long to change a docker provider. If it's pointing at the same appdata folder it normally only takes about 10 minutes (unless I've been lucky in the past).

Well, Newsletters seem to have gone out today. Looks to have emailed my whole collection though, despite having worked fine before.

At least two of us have had newsletters not sending on here, so if you get anywhere could you post back?

Doesn't help, but mine was supposed to go yesterday, and didn't. Went last week though, a test one sends and the dates are right on the Cron test. Don't know whether an update has broken it.

Just a couple of follow-up questions until somebody who knows what they're talking about replies properly... Is mover running at the moment? Is anything else happening that would use the disks? (downloads/unpacking, parity check, copies to/from/across array, virtual machines, Plex streams, etc.) On my machine, things can grind if a couple of things are heavy lifting at the same time. Not necessarily on the drives in question, but I'm guessing the controller can choke depending on where each drive is plugged in. I remember the mover kicking in when I was unbalancing, and it all went silly. I did also have one drive that had a pointlessly slow write speed once - didn't show as a fault, but something wasn't 'right. Hope this helps - if not, I'm sure somebody will be along soon...

As mentioned, start from scratch with your Plex username/password. If you're stuck, I guess you can remove the docker and ombi appdata folder and start again, since it does all need setting up from the wizard onwards anyhow.

Thanks - 0 11 * * 5 did it (5 for Friday), although the first link also offered up FRI as an option. I'm guessing the validation in Ombi has a simpler set of rules.

I've gone through and set v3 up, and I'm having a problem. Asking here first since Google doesn't return much (which makes me ponder docker issue - probably illogically). Problem: Newsletter Cron settings Actions: Setup, System, Jobs - the Newsletter Cron box is empty, red and has "The Newsletter is required" underneath. All others are fine According to the Wiki, it's supposed to default to 12GMT every Friday, so I've tried entering "0 0 12 ? * FRI *", but I get "CRON Expression 0 0 12 ? * FRI * is not valid". Anybody else having a similar issue?

The developer of the plugin has not kept it up to date, AFAIK. Remember, plugins and dockers are not necessarily products of Lime Technology, and their continued development and support is unfortunately not guaranteed. I only ever used it to preclear disks before adding them to the array. Once it was pointed out that unRaid can clear a drive without stopping the array I was fine. If people want to stress-test a drive, there are still ways.

Does the utility take into account the split level of each share? If not, rather than looking at the next level, could it drill down to the correct split level? In your example above, 1st attempt would automatically read the same data as 2nd attempt. Appreciate that might complicate things quite a bit though.

Thanks guys - much appreciated

Really sorry to chime in on this - I've read 4-5 pages back and I just want some assurance... I'm putting another 8TB Ironwolf in my array this evening. Not sure yet whether I'm replacing a drive or adding. First drive change since uninstalling Preclear. I don't need the drive straight away, and can afford to run some extended SMART tests before trusting it. What I can't really afford though is for my Array to be offline for a long time. Can I drop the drive in, format it and add it to the array now?

Thanks for raising this though - I was having the same issue. In Chrome, click the "i" next to the address, select Cookies then Remove. Refresh the page, all should be good

Whilst you wait for proper replies - the preclear plugin is not compatible with 6.4.1 yet (unless it has changed recently)

Off topic, but I was thinking the other day that it would be great if the UI could detect if it was a stale browser session and either reload or switch screens. It would (theoretically) stop these errors. It could poll the server periodically for a session/boot ID, and if there was a mismatch, it's stale. I'm off to the feature requests area...

D'OH! Apologies. Wasn't thinking straight.

Is there any way of displaying estimated time remaining on the current step when clearing a drive? (either instead of or as well as elapsed)

Hi @Squid - sorry to resurrect this, but I have the same requirement. Are you sure running both would be pointless (I could have missed the point)? I sometimes hit 75% cache capacity quickly, and want to trigger the mover. However, other times there's not a lot of activity. During these quiet times, I'm guessing that anything on the cache could stay there a while - I'd still want to periodically trigger the mover to prevent anything staying cache-only for, long periods (could be a month). At the same time, I don't want the two to interfere with each other by running concurrently (if they would, I don't know). Is there any way the script could be amended to only run if the mover is not already running?

Of course, yes. Although at the end of the day you know where your cache drive is without a picture

Not an ideal workaround, but it's what other people are doing. I have my parity and cache disks inside the case (the caches on PCI mounts).

Thanks - I missed the bit about running it as a user script in your previous post. Sorts it out just fine.

The suggested option worked well for me
