I sense your dislike for that brand, won't go any further on that one 😇 So, for anyone else who might like to help... I'm trying to enable Thread support for a Home Assistant Core Docker container so my Eve Energy plugs can be integrated to Home Assistant and taken out of the evil Apple empire 😆 Currently it looks like I will have to remove Home Assistant away from Unraid just so I can get Thread/Matter working... seems like a backward step due to the increasing support for these protocols.

ATV4, yep Apple TV so probably not the best place to add routing info, don't think you can tbh.... It is only Unraid that is not playing ball in my network, although I am heavily Apple products, they are all working with Thread and therefore ipv6. My network is UniFi based, router is a Dream Machine, switches and AP's are all UniFi. Assume I should be able to do something on the router then? Thanks for your assistance but this is well out of my comfort zone... I have read for other Linux based Docker setups people needed to run the following commands for routing; set net.ipv6.conf.br0.accept_ra=2, set net.ipv6.conf.bond0.accept_ra=2 Didn't want to do that blindly on my Unraid as I have no idea if that is needed and what damage it may do if I get it wrong. However, I think they are incorrect for me as they are setting the route and bonding (?) to br0 whereas I think I'm currently using eth0. I found in some other threads that running the following commands would show the routing; ip -6 route ::1 dev lo proto kernel metric 256 pref medium fd7e:37b8:e809:465c::/64 dev shim-eth0 proto kernel metric 256 expires 1763sec pref medium fd7e:37b8:e809:465c::/64 dev eth0 proto ra metric 1003 pref medium fe80::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium fe80::/64 dev shim-eth0 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium fe80::/64 dev veth9465acf proto kernel metric 256 pref medium fe80::/64 dev docker0 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium fe80::/64 dev veth5d89a13 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium fe80::/64 dev veth25d3a49 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium fe80::/64 dev vetha3240f7 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium fe80::/64 dev veth3936fc8 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium fe80::/64 dev veth8339b73 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium fe80::/64 dev veth95b1fdc proto kernel metric 256 pref medium ip -6 a s 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 state UNKNOWN qlen 1000 inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 3: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 state UP qlen 1000 inet6 fd7e:37b8:e809:465c:dabb:c1ff:fe9f:a4c5/64 scope global dynamic mngtmpaddr noprefixroute valid_lft 1715sec preferred_lft 1715sec inet6 fe80::dabb:c1ff:fe9f:a4c5/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 4: docker0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 state UP inet6 fe80::42:5eff:fe05:c4d3/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 5: shim-eth0@eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 state UNKNOWN qlen 1000 inet6 fd7e:37b8:e809:465c:d8bb:c100:19f:a4c5/64 scope global dynamic mngtmpaddr valid_lft 1715sec preferred_lft 1715sec inet6 fe80::d8bb:c100:19f:a4c5/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 7: veth9465acf@if6: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 state UP inet6 fe80::9443:aeff:fe70:13e1/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 11: veth5d89a13@if10: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 state UP inet6 fe80::ac9a:61ff:fea3:c3b8/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 13: veth25d3a49@if12: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 state UP inet6 fe80::984c:4aff:fe7b:9262/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 17: vetha3240f7@if16: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 state UP inet6 fe80::a426:4eff:feb2:9cdc/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 19: veth3936fc8@if18: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 state UP inet6 fe80::b4b1:33ff:fea6:cfd/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 21: veth8339b73@if20: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 state UP inet6 fe80::48d9:5ff:fe81:c4d/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 28: veth95b1fdc@if27: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 state UP inet6 fe80::3891:70ff:fe0e:830e/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever But I don't know what that is telling me....

Thanks, that behaviour seems to be correct, multicast first. Gateway address, assume that will be the address of my boarder router? Which is my ATV4. When you say add a route, do I do that via the network section once I’ve stopped Docker? Assume not in the gateway section but as an additional route? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Sure, fd7e:37b8:e809:465c:4d8:9400:bd1:c05f It seems like a routing issue. HA detects the Eve plug as it is powered on, just can't route back. The HA docker has an ipv6 address, unraid has an ipv6 address....

I'm running Home Assistant Core as a Docker and I would like to connect to my Thread based devices, Eve Energy plugs mainly. Currently I have a fully setup Thread network with my Apple TV running as the border router. When I connect an Eve plug that has been removed from my HomeKit Home and still has a Thread network, Home Assistant picks it up immediately as available but reports and error connecting to it. I believe this is to do with routing back via ipv6.

I have stopped my Docker service and added ipv6 to my network configuration. This has picked up an address but not a gateway. From my Mac if I ping6 one of my plugs using this; ping6 Eve-Energy-7821.local I get a response immediately If I do the same from my unraid terminal I get "Network is unreachable" So I assume the first step is to resolve IPv6 for unraid so I can connect to the existing devices? Then I need to configure my Docker network to use ipv6? Custom network rather than Host? I've been trying to find answers for this but limited success and there have been a few updates over the last few unraid releases I believe so I thought I would ask now I am on the latest build.

Thanks 👍

Apologies, is meatiest an unraid tool or command line?

Only seems to be the change in SMART data which reflects the drive run time changing during the Preclear is how I read this. What should I of expected to see? But more importantly, what is this indicating about the drive?

Sorry, had missed posts to my thread… I didn’t know about potential AMD issues but chose an Intel chip purely for the Quick Sync advantage on media streaming, which is most of my use. I have found it much harder this time around to find MB recommendations. When I first built over a decade ago there where good lists and approved boards for UnRaid, doesn’t seem to exist now. I appreciate that today most boards will work with UnRaid so less point keeping lists up to date but I was hoping for ratings and recommendations for SATA port connectivity, memory speed, BIOS, power ratings etc. Trying to find this info from scratch has been a challenge! I’m also replacing my drives for much larger but lower amount and there in lays more head scratching and deliberation 😆 I think I am getting there now, same board as listed above as it has 8 SATA ports. Still weighing up the i3 vs. I5 expense. Chosen 16Tb Seagate EXOS drives. Seasonic PSU. Probably a Fractal Design R5 case to house it all in. Fingers crossed that will be dead quiet and consume far less power on idle 😬

Thanks for the feedback on the CPU spec. I’m pretty sure the i3 will be a big step up from my current system but, I do see what you mean so if I can afford I might go that little further.

I have down selected the following MB & CPU ASRock Intel Z690 Steel Legend ATX Motherboard Intel Core i3 12100 4 Core Alder Lake Seem to be good future proofing and performance. Any concerns with either of these?

It was your thread I read that led me to look at that MB & CPU, thanks. Also interesting reading on the PSU. On my shortlist and will be good to hear how you get on with it once fully built up.

It's about time I retired my old server that's been going well for over 10 years now! Had a few HDD failures over the years plus one PSU but it been pretty reliable and served me well. Current build spec is; Zalman MS1000-HS2 Case Zalman ZM-HDR1 3-Bay HDD Rack x 3 Corsair CX650m psu Asus M4A78LT-M AMD 760G AM3 AMD Phenom™ II X6 1100T @ 3300 MHz 12Gb DDR3 1600 Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8, 8-Port SAS/SATA Card 4Tb WDC Parity 7 x 2Tb drives 1 x 4Tb drives 2 x Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500GB for Cache pool This runs; Plex binhex-nzbget tautulli radarr sonarr pihole This setup is doing ok but it is noisy (not wife friendly as it's in her office) and not very efficient power wise and we have a big focus on this currently with energy prices going through the roof. According to my Eve Energy plug the server ticks over at approx. 110W and will draw 160W when doing a parity check. So my aim if to start with a new MB & CPU combo that are much more efficient, high SATA connection count and a boost in performance for Plex if possible. Once I have this locked in I can slowly upgrade the HDD's too much larger ones to lessen the count for less power draw. Finding it hard to hit on a recommended board to be honest by trawling the forum, especially that is actually available. A recommendation I did find was the Asrock Rack E3C246D4U paired with i3 8100 CPU. Seems to be a board many have used but I can't find that anywhere now. Another MB recommendations I have seen used are; ASRock X570M Pro4 with AMD Ryzen 5 5600G - my preferred based on 8 SATA and available to buy Asus PRIME Z590-A with Intel Core Intel Core i3 10300 (only 6 SATA ports I believe though) If starting from scratch with a new build to be single user Plex server, storage, pihole but efficient energy wise, what would you chose?

Thanks both, very much appreciated your help with this I think I am now back on the road to recovery, drives formated and data being moved back with no errors showing

I think I have found the re-format answer; Stop the array. Main, Cache Device, Change the format type to what you want. If its already what you want and just want to reformat it, then: Change it to anything else. Start the array. Format the drive Stop the array Change the format type to what you want Start the array Format the drive However, when I stop the array and go to change the format I only have auto, btrfs, btrfs encrypted. Should I chose the auto or encrypted? Worried that encrypted will take ages or impossible to back out of?
