    So it really looks like the combination of iPhone + WIFI + VPN is the problem.

     

    I think you need to focus on the iPhone side of things and play with configuration settings on the iPhone..  I see something called On Demand Connection or whatever for Wireguard that may have to be used / not used / set differently for 4G and WiFi connections, like two separate settings profiles.

    I just gave it a shot. Now neither 4G nor wi-fi work, with or without VPN :D 

     

    Edit: back up on 4G after deactivating On Demand on both wi-fi and 4G and restarting the FTP apps.

    Just to clarify...

     

    PC to FTP over WI-FI with the VPN?

    iPhone to FTP over 4G with the VPN.

     

    All of your successful connections have been while using the VPN, right?

     

    So did you open the ftp port on your router for access?  While you're on the VPN you have access to all the ports being used in Unraid, when you're off the VPN you're limited to what your router gives you access to.

     

    I need to make some additional clarifications. I am connecting to my server at home, but I am currently at another location. So I am not connecting to my home wi-fi in this case.

     

    Meaning I am connecting from my laptop, on wi-fi2 of router2 at location2 let's call it, over VPN, to the server at home location1 connected to router1 via ethernet1. Here I have ftp access no problem.

     

    I am connecting from my iPhone, on wi-fi2 of router2 at location2, over VPN, to the server at home location1 connected to router1 via ethernet1. No connection that I can see.

     

    I am connecting from my iPhone, on 4G from any location, over VPN, to the server at home location1 connected to router1 via ethernet1. Works fine.

     

    However, I am connecting from my iPhone, on wi-fi1 of router1 at home location1, over VPN, to the server at home location1 connected to router1 via ethernet1. No connection that I can see also.

  3. Hi guys.

     

    Have a strange issue. Set up ProFTPd as the final bit of my test for unRAID. So far I am very happy and think I will be plonking down my cash to purchase unRAID before the trial runs out. I just have to figure out the best way to backup my configuration in case the USB pen drive conks out and how to get ProFTPd to work.

     

    My issue: I have created a VPN to my server using WireGuard. The VPN is working and I can access it from my PC and my iPhone. Using the VPN I can connect to my server and the running docker containers. I can connect to the ftp from my PC, over wi-fi. I can connect to the ftp from my iPhone, over 4G. In both cases, over the WireGuard VPN. However, when I switch the iPhone to a wi-fi network (even the same one the PC is using), I can no longer access the ftp from my iPhone. I can still access the server and the docker containers... just not the ftp. This forces me to use data from my plan, which is limited.

     

    Any ideas?

    You can install this under Community Applications if you have advanced settings enabled for docker hub searching. CA will do it's best to parse and present what settings it thinks the docker app needs. You should try that approach first and see how it does.

    Was unaware of such fact. Thanks for the tip. I will give it a go.

  5. Hi all.

     

    I guess this post would be better in the Docker sub-forum yet for some reason I cannot start a topic in that forum, so apologies in advance for posting in General.

     

    To the point:

    atemu12/backblaze-personal-wine-docker

     

    I am rather curious about this docker as a BackBlaze Personal user myself. However, I am not adept at command lines (well, not since MS-DOS at least) and wouldn't know how. Mostly I use Community Applications to install dockers.

     

    How does one go about installing a docker that isn't in the community applications app? I assume through the server terminal or ssh?

     

    Also, if I am understanding this correctly:

    docker run \ --rm \ --init \ -p '5900:5900' \ -v 'backblaze:/wine/' \ -v '/dir/you/want/to/back/up/:/wine/drive_d/' \ atemu12/backblaze-personal-wine

    docker run \
    --rm \
    --init \
    -p '5900:5900' \
    -v 'backblaze:/wine/' \
    -v '/dir/you/want/to/back/up/:/wine/drive_d/' \
    atemu12/backblaze-personal-wine

    and I want to backup all my shares, I'd have to change this to:

    docker run \
    --rm \
    --init \
    -p '5900:5900' \
    -v 'backblaze:/wine/' \
    -v '/mnt/user/:/wine/drive_d/' \
    atemu12/backblaze-personal-wine

    Does that sound correct?

     

  6. Hi all.

     

    I have had a rather traumatic experience with Windows (ransomeware) and therefore wanted to move to something abit more secure. So I ended up ono unRAID for various reasons. I have my uR set up to the point I can access the web interface over the internet using my router's public IP (router is forwarding port 80 to the uR box). On this box I am running some dockers, such as Plex (linuxserver Docker container [not sure if this is the best one for a Plex Pass user]), and sonarr and radarr to manage and import my converted blu-ray and dvd collection. I can currently also access these web ui's from over the internet, though these are not secure.

     

    I will need to keep my Plex instance open to the web by forwarding the port 32400 from the router to the uR ip and Plex port combo.

     

    As for the others, what's the best way to keep them secure while still allowing me to access them from inside and outside my home network?

  7. When connecting from outside the lan, I can bring up the web ui but receive a popup box with transmission telling me:

    Connection Failed
    
    Could not connect to the server. You may need to reload the page to reconnect.

    Hitting the details button spits out the following:

    421: Misdirected RequestTransmission received your request, but the hostname was unrecognized.
    To fix this, choose one of the following options:Enable password authentication, then any hostname is allowed.
    Add the hostname you want to use to the whitelist in settings.
    If you're editing settings.json, see the 'rpc-host-whitelist' and 'rpc-host-whitelist-enabled' entries.
    This requirement has been added to help prevent DNS Rebinding attacks.

    Leading me to think I may need to activate the password which was the intent all along anyway. Problem is I can't find a way to do it. Can someone offer any insight?

    You do not have to do anything in that video anymore. Plex added support for encode/decode a while back. You just need to add the gpu variables to the docker and turn on hardware support in the plex settings. 

    You mean I only need to copy the GPU UUID?

  9. Hi all.

     

    New to unRAID and even newer to Docker. And a total absolute wet ass newb when it comes to PLex HW transcoding using the NVIDIA cards.

     

    Just setup a new "server" last week and finally have working shares and Plex is running. Now I am trying to get the GPU to work as encoder / decoder using the instructions from the OP and also from this tutorial here: 

     

     

    I managed to get as far as to see some decoding happening, but no transcoding. Here's a shot of my GPU when running video, as well as my docker settings:

    https://imgur.com/a/1NzfYbJ

     

    Things I have noticed: I renamed the Plex Transcoder file to Plex Transcoder2 as suggested and nano'd the new Plex Transcoder file. chmod was performed. However as you can see in the processes, the Plex Transcoder2 seems to be used and not the Plex Transcoder. Also, sometimes it simply doesn't touch the GPU and I see zero processes and zero usage for either edcoding or encoding. When playing some files, from time to time it will use the GPU to decode, but never to encode. My CPU gets pegged at high 80's most of the time.

     

    Can anyone help me troubleshoot?

     

     

     

  10. I'm curious, what docker are you trying to even install?

     

    Couldn't you move the machine to a place with internet temporarily, install, and move it back?

    Moving isn't an option unfortunately. I am trying to create some sort of backup server. The idea was to use UrBackup container and run it on the unRAID server. Then connect the windows clients to it and have the backups run automagically.

  11. I've discovered something very very worrying about the urbackup container with btrfs tools,

     

    it's making ghost copies of the container which cannot be deleted, delete the container and image it gives you a warning about being unable to delete a snapshot.

     

    then reboot and there are ghost containers appearing on my dashboard that you can delete, but survive a reboot and are there again.

     

    i am going to message jonp about this, because i'm very concerned that it's doing things to the docker.img file that it really shouldn't be.

    Being one of the less inclined to the linux camp, all those lines of text tend to scare me off :)

     

    Thanks . I'll look in to it.

     

    Hi. Has anyone found a solution to this issue?

     

    I think I found a fix to remove the ghost copies. It's not a solution to the issue, but a fix to free up the space eaten up by the subcontainers. Check the linked post below and the post after it.

    Hi. Has anyone found a solution to this issue? Or can anyone suggest an alternate backup solution? Currently testing unRAID and it wasn't till recently that I was able to test it on a physical machine. Up to now I was running it on a VM. More than half the trial lost on a VM solution that never really worked as a proper test bench. Since yesterday I have it running on a box that has no internet connection and the main idea for this box was to set up a share and have all my PC's backup to there, using UrBackup on the server end and the UrBackup client on the Win boxes. So my main issue would have been how to install UrBackup on the unRAID box without any internet connection to the box. Now that seems like the least of my worries.

     

     

  13. Hi all. I've been testing unRAID on a VM with various degrees of success. One of the things I hope to use it for is to backup my Windows PC's (or at least specific folders). I heard something about unRAID and Crashplan and was wondering what this meant. Right now it seems to me that there is a plugin that will allow you to backup your tower box to Crashplan. What I want to know is if it's possible to install a backup client like Crashplan on the Windows PC's and have them backup onsite to the unRAID box instead? I ask because the network in question will have no outside connection. No internet. Everything is contained inside on a LAN.

     

    I'd like to hear your personal experiences. I know you can Robocopy, set schedules and stuff, but all that is very difficult to maintain and set up. I am kind of hoping for a right-click add to backup solution of sorts or whatever.

     

    Here's to hoping someone out there has any suggestions! Cheers guys!
