So, I booted another computer from my Unraid USB and was able to boot into the Unraid OS GUI and see my normal server configuration (though of course the disks were missing). So it seems like my flash drive is working fine.

Okay, I'll try this out. Do I need to try to boot another computer from the flash drive, or just see if I can access it from another running computer?

Well the Unraid server isn't up, so I'm not logging into Unraid. What I'm logging into is the ASRock motherboard's base command line.

Alright, I only had the cover off temporarily. It's back on now. The server is back on after resting two hours. I can access the IPMI config page via ip address or telnet, however I can't ping or run ifconfig because the for some reason java won't let me run the console CLI and through telnet busy box tells me that I don't have the correct permissions to ping (I'm logged in using the default root password), and when I ifconfig, I'm told that there is no such command....

This is a homebuilt server in a mini-itx case. It has an ASRock C2750d4i motherboard (http://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=C2750D4I#Specifications) and 6 WD red 4tb drives. The case has 2 90mm fans in the front and one 120mm fan in the back that pulls air over the CPUs fins. The only time I've ever had problems with temperature previously was doing a heat spell last summer when my AC broke. It was much hotter than it is now though. As I mentioned before it seems start up normally now (other than those temp alerts), there is just no way for me to connect to Unraid...

No keyboard or monitor attached. I've tried access it via the IP address (which is what I meant by web UI), and it won't connect. Though I can connect to the motherboard's IP address config page.

Just most recently I have been able to get the server to run again, though I am never able to access the Unraid OS, either via webUI or telnet. I am able to access the motherboard's webUI and IPMI set up page. There weren't any existing error logs when I first checked, but when I just requested that the server shut down and restart via the remote control option these events were logged: Event ID Ascending Time Stamp Ascending Sensor Name Ascending Sensor Type Ascending Description Ascending810 04/30/2017 20:06:46 CPU Temperature Temperature Upper Non-Critical - Going High - Deasserted809 04/30/2017 20:06:46 CPU Temperature Temperature Upper Critical - Going High - Deasserted808 04/30/2017 20:06:46 CPU Temperature Temperature Upper Non-Recoverable - Going High - Deasserted807 04/30/2017 20:06:40 CPU Temperature Temperature Upper Non-Recoverable - Going High - Asserted806 04/30/2017 20:06:39 CPU Temperature Temperature Upper Critical - Going High - Asserted805 04/30/2017 20:06:39 CPU Temperature Temperature Upper Non-Critical - Going High - Asserted804 04/30/2017 20:04:50 CPU Temperature Temperature Upper Non-Critical - Going High - Deasserted803 04/30/2017 20:04:50 CPU Temperature Temperature Upper Critical - Going High - Deasserted802 04/30/2017 20:04:50 CPU I don't really understand how the CPU could be so hot given that the computer has been off and is running with the case open at the moment.. any thoughts? I'm still unable to access unraid or any of my files. At the moment, every time I restart the server it no longer immediately fails, but I'm not able to reach unraid.

My PSU is appropriately rated for my server's power draw, and has a single 12V rail. It has a fan, and is clean, and when it was removed from the system and plugged in this fan ran normally. It seems like the PSU is operating fine by itself and only fails in the context of the rest of my system, and then only after being used for a little while...

The CPU doesn't have it's own dedicated fan, just cooling fins, and a large case fan. However It's been fairly cool here in Canada recently, so I don't think it overheated, but it's a possibility. I ended up taking the entire system apart and seeing if the PSU would work just plugged in directly. It did, and the system ended up starting up as usual when I put it back together. However after around 24 hours the system exhibited the same problem (with the server inaccessible first, and then not starting after a shutdown). It seems like something is causing the PSU to fail at some point after the system is running. Ideas?

Indeed they can... Thanks for you guys' advice. I guess I'll throw a new power supply in there and see how it goes. Let's hope that the failing power supply didn't cause any of the other issues jonathanm mentioned.

That's kind of what I was wondering, but the server was still running when the initial problem started and I couldn't access it... But I maybe it was just giving enough power to stay on, but had lost full power to run the system. Do you know any way that I can check if the problem is the power supply?

Hi folks. For some reason my server has become unreachable, and I'm unsure how to move forward with fixing this. I didn't notice this until this evening when I tried to reach the server via Plex on another machine. When the server couldn't be reached I started to investigate and found that I can neither reach the server web UI page, nor telnet into the server. To be honest I'm kind of freaking out here. Any ideas how I can move forward with remedying this situation? Thanks for any help and advice! *Update** I restarted my server using the button the front of the machine which is set to initiate a shutdown. However, after shutting down it will not restart. I took my case apart, unplugged the power cord and held the power button down to discharge any remaining power and checked that nothing visible had happened to the physical structure of my motherboard, memory or processor - it hasn't. Now nothing happens when I push the power button on my case. If I unplug and then plug back in the power cord the server attempts to start up, but fails and shuts down after around 3-5 seconds. Ideas?

Using RDP makes a marked improvement in speed. Thanks!

Hi everyone, So I installed a Windows 10 Pro VM on my Unraid system. The VM itself seems to operate fine, with decent speeds, but the mouse is a huge problem. I have to constantly move or wiggle the mouse to get the VM mouse to respond, and there is around a 15 second delay between the movements of my actual cursor and the cursor in the VM, whether I just move it around, or click something. Any ideas how I can fix this? It's making me crazy! Thanks! PS, I already tried the suggestions in the sticky about performance improvements in VMs and CPU pinning with no luck.

Hi folks, I've installed this docker in the hope of being able to to stream my large music collection from my unRAID machine directly to my stereo via an airport express controlled by Apple Remote on an iPhone or iPad, rather than having to rely on Plex or Emby. I used the Linuxserver.io template when I installed and updated my /music directory to the correct path (/mnt/user/Media/Music) and the set my /config to my appdata folder (/mnt/cache/appdata/daapd). I then also edited the forked-daapd.conf file in order to update to the correct UID (default 99) and add my Airport Express name and password where required. Despite following these steps nothing seems to work, ddaapd can't search for the remote, and I'm getting all sorts of warnings and errors in my log. See below. Any ideas?

This is actually what I'd been doing previously, however Madsonic only support podcasts in the free version until Dec. 21, 2016, so unless I want to pay for the premium license I'm still searching for a dedicated solution. Would be great to find a docker version of gPodder or Vocal.

Never mind, i didn't realize that that would just download it to the directory I was already in. Thanks.

I just copied the code you wrote so and it didn't ask me for a download location...

Where can I find the .sh file so that I can modify the directories and podcasts etc?

Cheers!

Sorry, I may be betraying my noob status, but how exactly did you install this script? I tried installing through the 'Install Plugin' interface, but it didn't work...

Hey everyone. I've been using this docker to manage my server remotely (when I am at work or out of town) for the last 9 months with no problems. As has been noted with the most recent update to unRAID I had to reset my admin password and re-add my secondary 'guest' user. But for some reason now a problem has arisen. After updating the passwords and re-adding the second user I tried to connect using my previous .ovpn client configs. This didn't work, so I logged in through the web interface and downloaded new .ovpn files for both users. Using them from my phone or computer I can now connect to my server through OpenVPN, and can load web pages etc, BUT for some reason I can no longer access my server unRAID GUI page (from 192.168.1.x)... THis has never happened before and I'm not sure what would have changed to cause this. All of my permissions etc seem to be the same as they were previously. Any ideas? Thanks!

Man that's disappointing to hear.... Anyway, thanks for the advice. I guess I'll try to figure something else out until I can afford to upgrade my motherboard and CPU.

Unfortunately that kind of the defeats the whole point... thanks though.
