Hoi, dit gaat misschien niet echt over unraid maar ik ben opzoek naar een manier om de installatie-file van mijn apps die ik heb gedownload up to date te houden. Dus niet het programma zelf maar de install.exe file van die bepaalde app. In mijn downloads folder zitten bepaalde programma's die ik vaak gebruik (winscp, putty, vlc, etcher, rufus, enz...) maar telkens als ik deze opnieuw wil/moet installeren kan ik ze niet gebruiken want ze zijn verouderd en moet ik ze alsnog downloaden. Als gevolg zit mijn downloads folder vol met verouderde bestanden. Is er geen manier om deze up to date te houden in de downloads folder zelf? Ik ken ninite maar dat is niet helemaal wat ik zoek. Ik zoek dus een programma dat checkt of er een nieuwe versie beschikbaar is van een bepaalde app en deze dan download en het oude bestand overschrijft. Iemand een idee?

I'm not sure what you mean by 'wifi to ethernet'. What's your use case?

Ok, we are getting somewhere... I got a Radeon 6950 from a friend, installed it and it worked! I started from scratch with a new VM, installed windows, ran DDU (display driver uninstaller), turned off windows auto update, installed the latest drivers, rebooted and the VM worked. However, i'm getting a 'code 10' now on the audio-part of the gpu. It says 'insufficient system recources exist to complete the api'. Well, there is some progress...

Yeah, i'm sorry but i had to start a new topic because i'm lost. After reading almost all other topics (i think) regarding code 43, i cannot solve my problem. The goal is to run a Win11 VM with a gpu passed through. It's the same old song: VM works, RDP works, but no screen and code 43 error in device manager. What i tried: PCIe ACS override - every setting i440fx and Q35 (down to 5.0) SeaBIOS and OVMF ... in every option possible edited the <features> lines in vm xml added 'multifunction='on' in vm xml disabled C states in bios server running in legacy an uefi mode different cables and ports (hdmi, dvi, vga) The hardware: Asus Maximus VIII HERO, i7 6700K, 32Gb ram. I tried 4 different gpu's. Granted, they are a bit old but i got them working a year ago in a win10 vm on the same platform but different motherboard. I'm guessing (hoping) there is a bios setting that i have to change but Maximus Hero's bios is... overwhelming Vt-d / VT-x is enabled. How do i go from here? Any help is appreciated. powernas-diagnostics-20230721-2313.zip win11code43.txt

Maybe look into resilio for backup or syncthing for syncronisation. A docker container seems more resource-friendly than a vm. I tried the freefilesync docker but i was not conviced.

I'm not an expert in this but i suspect 'server grade' motherboards have better quality components (capacitors, vrm's, ...) that have higher standards that consumer hardware does not need/have. They usually also have a thicker pcb (more layers?).

Install 'tailscale' on both servers and learn how to schedule an rsync script with unraid 'user scripts'. Seriously, it's not that hard for a simple backup script.

What about memory? Or is RAM included the amazon-deal? I might have missed that. Also, i suggest replacing the oldest drive with a newer bigger one instead of just adding more disks. Mixing different sizes is one of the strong points of unraid. Just a tought: if you are not transcoding and for your use-case, you can even buy an (itx) motherboard with onboard cpu. They are cheap and low power. But you will need a sata add-in card. (also not expensive).

Thanks.👍 A 10GB dummy file tops out at 586MB/s. Conclusion: a 5gbit switch is enough.

Are sata3 ports not limited to 600MB/s ?? I'm transferring an iso file from nvme to sata ssd over 10gbit network and it tops out at 822MB/s.

This idea also crossed my mind but I don't realy see the point in a 'storage-only server' and a seperate 'docker-only server'. You need to service/maintain an extra server, you add an extra point of failure (lots of point actually), more energy consuption and on top of that, if for instance your storage server is down, your docker server cannot reach it so it's also just sitting duck's and vice versa. A second unraid server could be useful if you want to run a router os vm, a proxy manager, all the networking stuff etc. or as a backup server. If all you need is a media/storage server for home use then i would not bother with a second server unless it's a backup server.

Have a look at "Filebrowser". https://filebrowser.org/features You can share files and folders by link to anyone but only registered users can also upload. No database needed.

In short: For your mobile devices, try Resilio Sync. For my desktop & laptop i use the Windows default backup solution (file history) and store them on my unraid server. The build-in backup solution on windows is not bad and works perfectly for home use. And you don't have to maintain another docker app.

It should just work. One thing that needs attention are passed-through devices in vm's or docker containers.

Another simple option is 'File Browser'. I use it to share files with my family. It's 'safe enough' for me in combination with Cloudflare and a reverse proxy.

You mention the asus z590i... I could be wrong but that motherboard 'only' supports two m.2 slots, no? Also, a 10th gen cpu will give you pci-e 3.0 while your motherboard supports pci-e gen 4. I understand if this would not matter to you. edit: you mean ssd, not nvme...

Oh wow, i actually knew that... I'm going to crawl back under the table now.

If i may ask, could you share your script?

Hi, so i use two icydock black vortex drive cages and while i do not like the looks, i do like its cooling solution. In order to minimize dust, sound and powerusage i had the idea to control (only) the cage fans according to drive activity. drives idle = fans off drives active = fans on All my fans are now bios-controlled. Has anyone tried this before? Honestly, i don't know where to start or if this is even possible without server grade hardware.

Be aware that syncting is not actually a backup tool. The purpose is to sync files and folders across all connected devices. So, when you delete photos on your phone, because it's storage is full, the folders ar not synced anymore and syncthing will spit out warnings. You can configure syncthing to ignore this but it is not it's intended use. That's why i use resillio. It has a 'backup folder' option built in. However, you can setup file versioning in syncthing and use it as a backup. Also, read the syncthing docs! Files can be deleted quickly if you set it up wrong.

I used syncthing a while ago and wasn't 100% happy with it. It might work for you. If not, have a look at resillio sync.

I'm not sure about that case. I love Antec cases in general but i'm afraid there won't be much airflow left if you fill up all the hard drive cages because of the solid frontpanel. Yes, there is a vent on the side and top but it's minimal. But i've never seen the case in real live so i could be wrong.

Same here. None of my servers have a parity disk. I think it makes more sense to have a parity disk on a 'main' server then on a backup server. Also, with only 3 hard drives on my main server it is easy to manage shares per disk. If one disk fails, i just copy the data from my backup server. The largest hdd is 3TB and only 2/3 full. And indeed, cost, performance and space are other factors for people not to use a parity disk.

You can use the UD plugin to mount the smb shares of the main server and set it it to 'auto mount'. I like to keep my scripts to a minimum because i'm not cli-guy. Off topic: what hardware do you use as your opnsense router? I also use opnsense.

Have you decided on how you're going to do this? Some docker app or script?
