It appears to run for about a day it seems.
Without more info we can only make wild guesses.

This app keeps stopping, like the container stays up, but the app itself crashes
I don't see this. How long does it run for before stopping? If it stops when scanning your library, for example, then that is most likely an issue with one or more of your media files, perhaps invalid meta-data. I have the docker running for weeks at a time without issue, and the only restarts are for version updates.

Set it up again last night, installed iTunes on my laptop and there was all the music.
I'm thinking the webpage just doesn't work, you have to admin the thing from iTunes.There is some set up of folders in the docker settings, but the Web page is working just fine for me both for looking at the library and for streaming to some clients... http://[IP_address_of_server]:3689
For what it's worth, I have never used this with iTunes - I probably wouldn't know where to start.

I would be very surprised if USB display adapters are generally supported by BIOS or by unRAID, since they often seem to have very specific drivers.
One option that is PCIe x1 and full-height is this, but it's not cheap and perhaps it is overkill for your needs...

Just a hunch - could it be a fan failure warning? Either a slow fan, an fan not plugged in, or an incorrect BIOS setting for fan monitoring?

You're welcome.
I use this on both my servers to help keep an eye on things. It's especially helpful whenever I am moving / upgrading drives.

The Disk Location plugin does this on the multi-disk summary display. It also displays the current temperature of each drive, regardless of whether they are spun up or not.

And how would that help?
Memory errors are probably the most likely cause of a file corruption. It could be that the file has been corrupted while being transferred, or it could be that another write to the disk has been written to the wrong place due to a memory error. Is there a possibility that your memory is being run at a higher speed than desirable? A long run of Memtest may show errors in such a case.
Also, have you looked at the SMART data for your drives (via the Dashboard)? If in doubt, I suggest that you generate a set of Diagnostics (via the Tools page) and post that with your next message. -

Both the H77 and H87 chipsets are unsupported according to documentation.
I agree with @JorgeB - either that or the fact that I have been using H77 successfully for around 7 years in one of my servers is just an illusion...

i’ve got a gigabyte lan but Tp-link power lan
If you are using powerline modems to extend your network such as those from TP-Link, then the performance can be very dependent on the layout of the mains wiring. In the UK, this method of connecting a network often works quite well for connections between sockets on one floor of a house since they usually share a ring-main circuit. Performance between sockets on different floors is normally quite bad. In mainland Europe and the US, it is common to feed each socket separately from the breaker panel, and this makes it much harder for powerline to give a good performance.
I am in the UK, and I use powerline for a couple of connections and 1080p rips from blu-ray are playing OK to Kodi. But from upstairs to downstairs it is completely impossible and I use a 1Gbit wired connection instead.

I am using Open SUSE ...
I just wanted to check... Is this a VM under Unraid, or is this nothing to do with Unraid? If the latter, then this might not be the best place to get answers that are relevant to your use case.

The OP asked if there was a need to kill power (not that he wanted to), and my argument is that it should always be possible for safety reasons. But I would also agree with you that using a smart switch is not the way to do this. It would add a significant point of failure, it would also potentially be difficult or impossible to operate in an emergency unless it also had a mechanical override.
-
I would argue that for safety reasons you should always have access to the mains outlet or its power switch. There are potential failure scenarios in the UPS or in the server that make this highly desirable. Examples could be UPS battery faults, DC wiring faults around PC power distribution to disk drives (a known issue), accidents with liquids, failures in other equipment connected to the UPS, etc. For mains powered products sold in Europe that I worked in the recent past it was generally required that the user be advised in the product documentation that they must be able to access the mains socket while the product is in use.
-
As part of the above, I set shares that are almost never accessed to not be exported (so they are not accessible or visible on the local network). Then I configure shares for items such as media that are accessed frequently for reading but rarely for writing to be read only. For both of these I only modify the settings as needed of access or updates on a temporary basis. This prioritises security above convenience, but it minimises the time that a potential rogue device on the network could possibly have access. The only shares that I have enabled for writing are not used for critical data, and only for short term storage.
On top of that I have a second backup server, which is powered off and therefore completely inaccessible for more than 99% of the time (that is, any time except when I am updating those backups). I accept that not everyone has the luxury of a second complete backup, but it is vital to have additional backups of critical data on storage which is completely independent of your Unraid server. The same would apply to any other network connected storage system.

The UPS software in Unraid is based on apcupsd, and does not generally need Modbus enabled in order to operate correctly. All that Modbus offers is a much more detailed view on the parameters in the UPS relating to power usage, battery and so on. However, I note that your UPS includes what APC describe as "Basic UPS signalling" and I have seen reports that suggest their may be problems in making this work with the apcupsd software. I have not been able to find out what "Basic UPS signalling" really means, but I suspect it may be a very limited protocol, and perhaps only working with APCs own software provided for these units. I suspect also that the Modbus option is not a feature in your unit.
I am sure you already looked, but I could not find other references to this type of UPS on this forum

I understand that you would only buy your batteries locally, but there are probably some battery sellers in Sweden who can help you. I cannot advise about alternative UPS brands to be honest. I have only used APC due to the compatibility. Support for APC is already provided in Unraid and it is normally quite easy to configure. My recommendation would be to find a used APC UPS in Sweden that may need new batteries, but then you could find a local supplier for those. I have zero Swedish language skill, but will Google translate I was able to find this battery supplier, for example... https://www.batteripoolen.se/produkter/industribatterier/standbybatterier

what i heard same ups battery cost same as new ups sadly.
This is not generally true. You only pay such a high price if you buy batteries from the UPS manufacturer. For example, APC batteries for any APC UPS are normally very expensive. But you can generally buy the same batteries from a trusted battery brand much cheaper. (Examples would be Lucas or Yuasa batteries sold in the UK). Then you can buy the same capacity maybe for around 30% of the cost. Many UPS use 12V 7Ah or 12V 9Ah batteries - these are standard sizes from many manufacturers. Also many battery suppliers will list equivalent types for UPS batteries for APC and other UPS makes. Here is an example from a supplier in the UK - https://www.tayna.co.uk/ups-batteries/
Sometime a UPS battery is made of two standard batteries joined together, and it is generally possible to assemble the replacements using the same cables and housing.

I don't know how easy this is from the software point of view, but I agree, it would be a very welcome improvement in the behaviour of the user controlled spin down function.

I am not a Sonos user, but I thought their system would also play from DLNA server software. If so then there's a Docker for minidlna that could be tried. It seems complete overkill to have to add an external processor to server a share to the Sonos system. I run both AssetUPnP and Twonky Media Server, to share my audio library to a range of other DLNA clients, although I have these set up to run directly from the config/go file on the flash drive (the apps are on my cache drive).

I appear to be in the same boat. Only adding my voice to amplify the message.
@DuzAwe - by all means try the guidance here, but it is perfectly possible that you have a different issue. It would probably benefit you and the OP for you to create a separate thread for your issue so that responses and suggestions do not get mixed.
-
Yes - that is certainly a possibility. Again, my advice to the OP wold be to make no change to their system initially but to run a long Memtest and see what happens. If there are errors, then reduce the RAM speed and retest. But by how much would depend on the motherboard. I would say going down to 2133MHz would be a bit drastic for his motherboard - 2666 Might be worth trying first. If the mem test doesn't show anything I would still try a lower RAM speed setting to see if stability under Unraid then improved. If it is a genuine software issue somewhere then the RAM speed should make little difference to the stability.

Can't you just resize the window? (or have I not understood correctly?)

The crashes seem to be random as far as I can tell.
I notice that you have a fairly old BIOS from 2019 - there are several updates since then according to the Asus web site for your motherboard. That may or may not be relevant.
Also, and before you try updating anything, have you run a Memtest lately? How many RAM modules are plugged in? Are they running at stock speeds? (2933MHzWhile it is possible that the newer Unraid builds are responsible, it is also possible that there is a weakness elsewhere in the system and the newer software is using in the memory slightly differently. Whenever I have a system that was previously OK start to misbehave, I check out the RAM first (several complete passes if possible). RAM can also occasionally just go bad over time, so it's always worth checking.

Hi @itimpi - I just thought I would update you. I have run several scheduled and manual checks over the past few days using 6th April version and 2nd April version, and I have tested with and without scheduled pauses of the checking. All tests have worked and run to completion exactly as they should. The only cases I have not tested are for unplanned checks after an unclean shutdown.
So thanks again for your work on this, it's looking very good.
What ports does unRAID need -- both WAN and LAN to LAN?

It's often the case that your router may offer a local NTP server. My Unraid server gets it from there, and only the router gets time from outside.
