I'm embarrassed to say I found the "excluded hours" option for the Sleep plugin; this seems to do just what I want, waking the computer during the hours specified. Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

Thanks, but surely there must be some way of doing this at the OS level? Windows does this just fine. I really don't want to have to reboot every time I have to change the wake settings.

Hi, I'm running an up-to-date version of unRAID (6.1.9, I believe), I have installed the Dynamix Sleep plugin, and I have enabled wake-on-lan on the motherboard. My unRAID machine will now happily sleep after the disks spin down (per the Sleep plugin schedule) or if I use the 'Sleep' button from the web UI. WoL is working perfectly. What I haven't fathomed yet, is how to schedule the machine to wake up for various maintenance (e.g., I would like my Plex server to update the libraries every day at 3 AM -- but this currently won't happen when the machine is asleep). I could set up a scheduled task on one of my Windows boxes to send the WoL command, but it seems rather inelegant to have to schedule one PC just to wake up another PC! Can anyone offer some advice here as to how to make my unRAID machine wake up for maintenance at a given time every day? Many thanks!

Thanks, everybody, it worked -- that was as painless as could be. Seems to be a common experience with unRAID.

Many thanks, I will give this a go when I get home this evening. Just to make sure I understand, setting my appdata share to cache only will automatically create the /mnt/cache/appdata directory for me, into which I can copy the data currently in /mnt/disk1/appdata. Do I need to change the Plex Docker container mapping for /config from /mnt/user/appdata/PlexMediaServer to /mnt/cache/appdata/PlexMediaServer or will the file system interpret the former as an alias for the latter? Thanks again, Ralph

Hi, first off: unRAID is fantastic. I can count of the fingers of one hand the pieces of software that have Just Worked and been Easy to Manage. Many thanks! My problem: I have added a cache drive to my unRAID 6 NAS and want to move my appdata share from Disk 1, where it currently resides, to the cache drive, where I want the mover to ignore it (the object of the exercise is to prevent Plex Media Server -- running under Docker -- from keeping my drives spinning). Is the process as simple as the following? (1) stop the array; (2) unRAID Main > Shares > appdata : select Use cache disk: only and remove Disk 1 from Included disks; (3) unRAID Main > Docker > Plex Media Server : change the container volume mapping for /config from /mnt/user/appdata/PlexMediaServer to /mnt/cache/appdata/PlexMediaServer; (4) restart the array. Will unRAID automatically handle the migration for me? Advice would be much appreciated!
