  1. subbed - hoping for the whole ELK stack, any chance of that or are three separate dockers best?
  2. So my letsencrypt docker stopped working.. Ive blown it away and started again but it doesnt seem to write anything into the logs for me to check why its not working. Any recent changes that would stop my old config files from working?
  3. So ive had two major issues with Unraid: - A disk needed its journals clear before the array would mount. Because of this critical dockers did not start. - Docker.img gets corrupted and I get stability / availability issues with the web interface. I know Unraid is by its nature not raid - and I like the idea that if you lose all bar one disk you can recover files off it as they aren't split over drives.. BUT if a disk dies in a raid setup the system will still run, albeit slower until a new disk enters for a rebuild. Unraid just stops as it cant mount the array. Dockers should have the ability to be run off a separate disk (i.e cache) and still start even if the array is down. Docker images that reference the array for file storage should be flag as dont start without array. Am I better of going with hardware Raid 5 etc if I need this uptime and not using unraids parity? Can Unraids Parity be used like this to keep the array booting until a new disk is acquired?
  4. Excellent write up. Note that it needs setting up again if your docker image becomes corrupt and needs recreating.
  5. So the other day I came across the unmountable drive issue. Easily fixed with a bit of time and a forum search, but what I really want to know now is how can I stop the array from not starting if that ever happens again? If there was a way to keep the cache disk live for an isolated from the array appdata share so that my docker apps dont crash i'd be kind of happy.. I know its not true raid, but having a disk fail to mount shouldnt stop the server from running if there is valid parity. Even if all changes were redirected to a temporary location to maintain parity while you fix the root cause - I just need my services to be running at all times. Any tips or do I have the wrong product for any type of higher availability?
  6. Same here, and the other two dockers for openhab wont install. Is this the most up to date?
  7. cool, thanks for that - somehow i'd missed the app store even existed!
  8. Everything looks good spants, i'd love to get your node-red template up and running but adding https://github.com/spants/unraidtemplates/ to my templates doesnt show your templates up when I go to create a new docker. Any tips? I had node red installed manually but i'd prefer the validity of a docker that can be updated. I'm running 6.2.4 btw
  9. So you aren't stubbing the nic but you can still allocate it in that way? Is that how I'm reading this? And it's still hardware passthrough?
  10. 07:00.0 is the ID for the nic, 08:00.0 is for the other but they are both the same manufacturing code of 8086:1533. That's the reason you can't pass through one nic of most dual onboard nics.
  11. Good point. I couldn't get my VM to boot with these instructions so I can help you...
  12. Is it the virtio driver you need? Did you add it to the VM?
  13. Im having an issue where no matter if I set a share to private or public some shares are fine, others hoave no user permissions on the root of the share. Currently I have settled for public with a hosts allow rule in smb.conf If I check the security settings of the folder in windows I can see everyone is blank - no perms at all as is nobody and users. If I go one folder down I see the same perms but I can actually create a folder. Other shares are fine in the root. Where do I start?
  14. Solution was to disable hardware checksum offloading as shown here: https://servernetworktech.com/2013/10/pfsense-intel-nic-slow-upload-speeds/
  15. All was well until I went to upload files or do a speed test.net test. It completely stalls at 0.00 for upload. Can add attachments to emails either..?
  16. I just setup pfSense with two bridge interfaces, Red and Green. Red being a direct connection to my bridge mode modem. What I want to do is setup another bridge called VPN and assign it to pfSense and to the transmission docker. Hopefully then I can have transmission watch the local file system for torrent files and all of that dockers traffic goes through the VPN bridge. From there I would setup a vpn in pfsense for that interface. Dont worry about whether pfSense can do that, but can I put a single docker in a different bridge? EDIT - Looks like I can add a vpn on pfSense, set it as an addional gateway and use the ports to rediect traffic out the new vpn gateway. I'll probably do this, but the question still stands.
  17. Thanks for the reply John. The cpu upgrade to a Xeon 1220 v2 was not too bad. $180 AUD, but compared to the initial purchase of $299 its a high price. I now have it setup with a bridge for one nic to the unraid and to the VM's. The other bridge is for eth1 and connects to my cisco 877 in bridge mode. This means I can put the GPU in as well I set the br120i to ahci mode which was good. And yes, i have the ssd on the ODD port to use as cache.
  18. So update: Did some more reading and found this GEM of a post http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=34872.msg325436#msg325436 Basically, enabled bridging on main network and called it green0 (bonding was disabled) putty in via ssh login ifconfig -a ++ here I see eth0 is my main nic with an IP, eth1 has no IP ++ brctl show ++ I can see green0 has both eth0 & eth1 ++ brctl delif green0 eth1 ++ start new bridge ++ brctl addbr red0 brctl stp red0 on brctl addif red0 eth1 ifconfig eth1 up ifconfig red0 up Now from here it was as easy as making a new VM and choosing green0 for the network and red0 for the WAN. No PCI stuff. Then after it all worked I added the config to the go file (check the link). I added delif eth1 from green0 just incase it was being added elsewhere. Quick reboot, manual start of the array and everything came up fine! Now I know this isnt hardware level passing through but it actually gets me up and running and now I can still have the gpu in my only pcie slot to enable a htpc type VM with HDMI. This little HP Gen8 microserver is kicking arse!
  19. So.. i just tried this and can report back a few things. Firstly- my hardware and what i want to achieve. Stub - i take it this terminology mean tell the system not to use this device? So when you put in the boot options that manufacturer code is not to be used there can be issues... such as Dual NIC controllers. Mine is a broadcom dual controller on board. If i say to not use the manufacturer i lose all connectivity, so a more granular approach would be awesome. Now the I removed the GPU i actually wanted to use from my one pcie slot and dumped in a Intel quad gigbit card I can stub the intel manufacturer code for this card. Ok, seems like this will work. Nope. brb with actually configs and info. Starting VM Requested operation is not valid: PCI device 0000:09:00.0 is not assignable i went back and selected the option that was suggested. no luck Intel quad id's 09:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) (rev 06) 09:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) (rev 06) 0a:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) (rev 06) 0a:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) (rev 06) The one in question: 09:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) [8086:10bc] (rev 06) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company NC364T PCI Express Quad Port Gigabit Server Adapter [103c:704b] Kernel driver in use: e1000e Kernel modules: e1000e Syslinux config default /syslinux/menu.c32 menu title Lime Technology prompt 0 timeout 50 label unRAID OS menu default kernel /bzimage append pcie_acs_override=downstream pci-stub.ids=103c:704b initrd=/bzroot label unRAID OS Safe Mode (no plugins) kernel /bzimage append initrd=/bzroot unraidsafemode label Memtest86+ kernel /memtest Hostdev actually re organises i think to group it. <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'> <driver name='vfio'/> <source> <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x09' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </source> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x06' function='0x0'/> </hostdev> Any ideas? I'd love to use one broadcomm for unraid and one for the red interface on pfsense, but i think the way it stubs i need to use a different hw vendor ID?

  20. The gen 8 has three nics. One dedicated to iLo and two on a broadcomm onboard controller. Should be enough right?
  21. Hi all, Jumping in the deep end here with unraid. I was impressed with the two vids Linus put up and have decided not to go with VMWare. That said, here is the kit i'll be running: HP Gen8 Microserver Xeon 1220 V2 16Gb ECC unreg DDR3 120Gb Intel SSD for Cache 3x 4Tb WD Reds (1x Parity, 2x Data) Asus GTX 730 2Gb gpu My plan is as follows: Unraid as base OS & NAS VM's for: - pfSense - Win 7 HTPC - Docker apps for Teamspeak, Plex Im hoping to hand one of the integrated broadcom GbE nics to pfSense as a red interface to the Cisco 877 router, then the other can handle all other traffic.Im also looking at handing over direct hardware access to the GPU for a win7 pc to perform HTPC connected via HDMI to my TV. If plex works with chromecasts correctly then i can ditch this in favour for a quad intel nic - which would give me a few more options for segmenting the home network (i.e. guest wifi) Anyone see any issues with the above plan? I was considering a win7 box to be a torrent PC with a vpn routed to it permanently. Not sure how that will go. Are there any issues using the br120i controller?

  23. hmm.. what about running unRaid at hardware level and running a FreeBSD VM for pfSense. Can I specify nic's to the VM? If I can use the one PC with my quad intel nic i'd be happier.
  24. Atm I have vmware running pfSense and freenas. Freenas isnt designed to run within a VM and is not reliable enough to boot everytime. My end goal is a NAS type system and a good VPN, multi zone capable firewall on the one box. I dont have VT-d available as its on older HP N36L Microserver, this rules out handing over hardware level access to the VM's. Any ideas on the right arrangement of software to do these tasks? -EDITED to remove old software (changed firewall solution)
