  1. Has anyone else experienced almost unusable speeds with the Wireguard VPN? I'm not exaggerating when I say my connection drops to about 1% of my home network speed. PC home network, no VPN:, Google speed test: As soon as I enabled the Wireguard VPN, Same PC, Same speed test: I don't understand what would cause this considering there is little in terms of configuration to make this work.
  2. I actually have another question. Previously in Transmission I was able to rename folders / torrents. I have my Media folder structure set up like: /mnt/Media/series/MyShow/My Show Season 01/my.show.720p.hdtv.mkv When I download a season torrent because I want to seed it, or let's say I'm missing a few episodes of a season, in Transmission I was able to: Download the torrent as My.Show.S03.720p.hdtv.mkv.torrent Add the torrent in a paused state with Destination: /mnt/Media/series/MyShow/ Rename the torrent to: My Show Season 01 Force Re-Check I can't seem to find a method to to do anything similar in Deluge. I seem to be stuck with trying to download My.Show.S03.720p.hdtv.mkv.torrent which is making it difficult to fix missing episodes.
  3. Thanks, my problem was the UTP settings. With that one change I've gone from 100KB/s to 20MB/s. Mad.
  4. I just configured this Docker yesterday. Have it set using PIA VPN and Privoxy enabled which is wroking great. However I'm not sure why I am getting pitiful speeds (Less than 100 KB/s majority of time). Speeds will randomly jump up to ~300KB/s before falling back below 100KB/s again. I am using an endpoint that is port forwarding enabled as per the supervisord log: 2022-02-05 23:30:16,618 DEBG 'start-script' stdout output: [info] PIA endpoint 'man.privacy.network' is in the list of endpoints that support port forwarding I've tried a few different OVPN profiles but it doesn't change anything. Is there any "Tips and tricks" to get Deluge working faster? Transmission (My previous client) was downloading in MB/s at least, but Deluge is much better in terms of usability and functionality so I am eager to swap, but these download speeds are unusable.. I tried to download an Ubuntu ISO and it actually spiked to 6MiB/s very briefly before again falling down below 100KiB/s.
  5. I've managed to figure it out. I set up an SSH tunnel as per instructions here: https://support.plex.tv/articles/200288586-installation/ https://www.skyverge.com/blog/how-to-set-up-an-ssh-tunnel-with-putty/ Then followed this sequence: 1. Stop the container 2. Delete the preferences.xml 3. Restart the container 4. Access the URL: http://localhost:8888/web/index.html Good learning experience
  6. I've manually added my PlexOnlineToken value to my Preferences.xml and restarted the container. This gave some success as the other fields such as PlexOnlineUsername and PlexOnlineEmail were populated successfully into the Preferences.xml file. However I am still not seeing a server...
  7. On container startup I see this when viewing the log: ##################################################### # Login via the webui at http://<ip>:32400/web # # and restart the docker, because there was no # # plex token found in the preference file # ##################################################### I assume this is referring to: `/mnt/user/Docker Config/Plex/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Preferences.xml` I've tried deleting this and restarting the container again but it doesn't make a difference.
  8. I feel like I'm being stupid but I can't get Plex running anymore. I've had Plex running perfectly using binhex' container for about two years now, but a recent 'oops' moment has resulted in me setting up all my containers again. I've tried re-installing the binhex container using the same template but it failed to find my server. After some frustration I just decided to try a new container (this one). So I've 1. Set up the container with my path mappings 2. Started the container and launched the web ui (:32400/web) 3. Logged in using my credentials Now I see a message "A server could not be found. Download and install Plex Media Server, and it will appear here." I had cleared all of my authorised devices earlier, and then changed my password. Now when I look at my authorised devices all I see is my web browser - Where I would expect to see a server instance. Have I missed a step somewhere? EDIT: It might be worth noting that I am accessing my server remotely through OpenVPN. I'm access the web interface at: http://192.168.0.73:32400
  9. Yeah that repo writes the credentials out to a plain text file in start.sh for openvpn: # add OpenVPN user/pass if [[ "${OPENVPN_USERNAME}" == "**None**" ]] || [[ "${OPENVPN_PASSWORD}" == "**None**" ]] ; then if [[ ! -f /config/openvpn-credentials.txt ]] ; then echo "OpenVPN credentials not set. Exiting." exit 1 fi echo "Found existing OPENVPN credentials..." else echo "Setting OPENVPN credentials..." mkdir -p /config echo "${OPENVPN_USERNAME}" > /config/openvpn-credentials.txt echo "${OPENVPN_PASSWORD}" >> /config/openvpn-credentials.txt chmod 600 /config/openvpn-credentials.txt fi I have no idea why though. It doesn't seem to get referenced again after that *.txt is initially created. Baffling!
  10. I've just installed transmission-openvpn docker and got it running with NordVPN. I do not recommend anyone to use NordVPN as they do not support port forwarding so my speeds are abysmal. They are refusing to issue me with a refund for the unused subscription time as I no longer need Nord. Anyway, onto why I'm here.. I've noticed two plain text files in this config folder containing the credentials for Transmission and the credentials for my NordVPN account. They are named: openvpn-credentials.txt transmission-credentials.txt This seems like a pretty serious security vulnerability? Password should never be stored in plain text... 🤨
  11. However I can view the contents under.. http://<IPAddress>/Shares/Browse?dir=/mnt/user/ExtHDD
  12. Hello all, I am following this guide to mount my external HDD: https://wiki.lime-technology.com/Mounting_an_external_USB_drive_having_an_existing_NTFS_file_system_in_READ/WRITE_mode_to_transport_files_from/to_unRaid_server I have done the following based off the above: cat /proc/partitions mkdir /mnt/user/ExtHDD mount -t ntfs-3g -o umask=111,dmask=000 /dev/sdg1 /mnt/user/ExtHDD This works - I can view the contents of the disk via SSH. However I cannot view it as a share from the Web GUI or by navigating to it via Windows Explorer. Am I doing something wrong? Is it possible to mount the ExtHDD as a temporary share?
  13. I am experiencing a bit of an odd issue with my media management, and I am fairly positive it is couchpotato causing problems... 1. My torrent client downloads everything to /mnt/user/TorrentDownloads 2. Couchpotato scans this directory and moves completed downloads to /mnt/user/Movies 3. Once the files are moved to the Movies directory their file extensions are either removed or renamed to 'random' For example, see the 3 most recent downloads: The.Purge.Election.Year.2016.720p.BluRay.x264: The.Purge.Election.Year.2016.720p.BluRay.x264 (Missing file extension) The.Infiltrator.2016.720p.BluRay.x264: The.Infiltrator.2016.720p.BluRay.x264.random-G46KXD79 (File extension changed to random) The.Infiltrator.2016.720p.BluRay.x264 (Missing file extension) Free.State.of.Jones.2016.720p.BluRay.x264: Free.State.of.Jones.2016.720p.BluRay.x264(Missing file extension) Free.State.of.Jones.2016.720p.BluRay.x264.random-TWYPS7AV (Changed to random) Free.State.of.Jones.2016.720p.BluRay.x264.random-YXBR4VAY (Changed to random) I have no idea why this started happening, or when EDIT Looks like the <ext> got removed from the file renamer settings. Testing now to see if this helps.
  14. Hey Rob! I'm just seeing this now so apologies for not responding. Honestly if the procedure just said that it could also be used for my scenario I would have just followed it, but I got a little bit concerned that I was following the incorrect guide. Replacing a failed drive seemed very different to what I wanted to do, or maybe I was just overthinking it! It looks like you have updated it now and it clearly covers what I was asking for - Good job on that very clear
  15. Perfect, thanks I'll just do it later tonight and let it work overnight - Should be little to no activity on the shares then..
  16. Preclear now done on the new drive. Took about two days. If I go ahead and set the new drive as the new parity device, will the array be offline while the parity is calculated? I need access to the shares for the evening so I'll just wait until tomorrow if need be
  17. Sorry should have specified I am on 6.1.3 Here is what I tried to do first: 1. Unassign parity drive 2. Assign new 4TB drive to parity slot 3. Assign old 3TB parity as data disk This would not allow me to proceed.. So I think I will need to do it this way: 1. Unassign 3TB parity 2. Assign new 4TB parity 3. Start the array and ensure parity sync completes 4. Once complete, assign old 3TB parity as new disk 5. Wait for array to finish syncing 6. Done?
  18. Oops: https://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/The_parity_swap_procedure So it looks like I need to do this in a two-step process? 1. Unassign current parity drive 2. Assign new drive to parity 3. Start the array with a parity-sync Then once this is done I assume: 1. Stop the array 2. Add old parity drive to data slot 3. Start the array
  19. Do I just work from step 7 onwards? 1. Install new drive (Done) 2. Power on (Done) 3. Unassign the parity drive 4. Assign new drive to parity (This is where I'm getting the warning message) https://i.imgur.com/kEGuCnH.png
  20. Hey folks, Bit confused here.. At the moment I have 3 disks in my array (3 x 3TD WD Red) I just bought a 4TB disk by accident with the intention of adding a new data disk - So I assume I will need to make this my parity disk now?? What is the procedure I follow here? I saw this procedure but this is for replacing an existing drive so I'm a bit confused.. https://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/The_parity_swap_procedure
  21. If need be, I can build a whole new box but I'd rather not do that as I have no real need for two servers. The new physical box would end up gathering dust. At this point I'm thinking of either: 1. Upgrading the CPU in my home server. Installing vSphere instead of unRAID. 2. Turning my desktop into a vSphere server. Pass-through GPU to VM for gaming purposes. Neither option seems ideal so I was wondering if it would be possible to virtualise vSphere instead...
  22. Hi, when I try to log in to the admin section it keeps giving me an error stating "Login forbidden". Does this mean the credentials I am supplying are incorrect? If so, how do I retrieve them? Edit: Nevermind I'm an idiot
  23. Sorry, I forgot to come back to this.. Fair point, my post was pretty vague. I work in IT and am looking to gain experience in some transferable skills that I could list on my CV or discuss in an interview. I'm looking for a new role at the moment and my lack of experience is killing me before I'm being given an opportunity. I work in customer support at the moment and I want to gravitate more towards a sysadmin role, or software development, software troubleshooting etc. I realise Windows Server isn't much use from a software development type role, but for sysadmin having some hands-on experience would be great. Excellent suggestion. Active Directory is something I have no experience in but would like to know more, as we do encounter it in work frequently but I've never needed to know much about it.
  24. Hey Folks, Let's get straight to the point: I am planning to achieve VMware certification (VCP6-DCV) this year. In order to do that I will need access to vSphere lab to play with. What are my options in terms of running this within unRAID - Is it possible? Will it function as a normal vSphere installation? Tried searching but didn't find much..
