Could you please add Yq? Love to automate backup/restore my containers using https://blog.linuxserver.io/2019/10/01/updating-and-backing-up-docker-containers-with-version-control/

Most appreciated ! Big thanks for responding so faaaaaaaaaaaaast !! 🙂

Hi dmacias, Thanks for your plug-in, love it! Could the docker compose be updated please?

got it - thanks for that!

So with the raid5 setup I do need to check usage in stead of free space more than anything for my cache disks. Thanks for helping out! What I do still wonder is why my previous cache disk setup (2 ssd in raid1) did not start moving data to disk as it ran out of disk space. My cache folders were set to "prefer" in the share settings. I would have thought that Unraid woud not further fill the cache pool a a certain point. It didn't....

yeah I tinkered around a bit with the mconvert last night...will revert to raid 1 😀

In terms of raid setup, what are considerations for setting raid 5 for btrfs metadata and system volumes as well?

I found link https://ohthehugemanatee.org/blog/2019/02/11/btrfs-out-of-space-emergency-response/ I gather that its a btrfs thing one has to live with

Hi Johnnie.black - thanks for your response. This is the output I get. : Linux 4.19.88-Unraid.

But not getting a correct free space indication is a bit of a bummer as one might run out of free space without prior warning I suppose.

Hi guys, I would like to create a cache pool of 3ssd's of 480gb each in raid5 config. I have applied the -dconvert=raid5 -mconvert=raid1 command and expected about 960gb of free space using the carvox.org raid calulator. Unraid shows met 1,4Tb of free space howver. How do i know my raid setup is correct?

Hi Dadarara - check out mobile apps that like Evernote scannable or even Apple Notes (standard IOS app) if you want easy scanning with reasonable quality. These cover 99% of my document scanning needs. Its easy to setup and use, super fast and uses built-in sharing to mail, filefolders or printer. But thats another topic as well

Hi there, not sure - i didn't get any replies so decided to reinstall CUPS on another rPI. This works better for me anyway since my printer is not directly connected via USB to the unraid server. Getting the rPI to do its CUPS thing is a breeze, lots of tutorials online but thats another forum ?

Hi there, I have an rPI with CUPS and Brother HL-5240 laserprinter connected via USB that worked fine until the rPI died (rip). I decided to install the CUPS docker and hook up the printer to my Airport. CUPS sees the printer, installs it with the Gutenprint ppd. However CUPS does not print and returns status :"Unable to locate printer "Airport-Router.local". How can this be fixed?

Hey, I have managed to get Pydio working, the docker is based on version 8.0.0 and in the settings the application suggests to upgrade. The upgrade process does not work for me and seems to fail on permissions somewhere. Anyone know how to fix this?

My tests with only one VM went fine. Be careful to check the results if you want to use the script with multiple VM's. I have set the script to run every night, even though the server will not be running 24x7 in practice. It takes about 1,5 hours to create a zipped backup of my VM plus xml file and always leaves at least one backupfile in the folder. I have added the the script for those interested. Feel free to comment and improve. script

More fine tuning in the works ... Tidy up of old backups was somewhat too rigid as it cleans out all backups older than a predefined number of days. The new script should leave at least one backup in place. Fix a small personal niggle : changing the date/timestamp to european dateformat (yyyymmdd) since I keep mixing up months and days with US notation. First tests with small sample files went well. Will let the script run with production setting for a while and post back results in this thread.

Thanks for pointing this out, probably would not have found out to disable both options straight away.

Hi all, When I stop the services I find the plugin is back on after reboot. How do I turn it off a little more permanently (other than uninstalling)? Cheers, Deeks

Also tweaked further to clean out old zip files in order to to fill up too much diskspace. Look for this piece of code (around line 1075): echo "information: finished attempt to backup "$vms_to_backup" to $backup_location." Then add this extra code directly beneath: # Send location where it wants to clean out the backed up files echo "information: cleaning out backups older than 2 days in location " $backup_location/$vm/ # Delete all files older than two 24hr periods find $backup_location/$vm/ -mtime +2 -exec rm -f {} \; I tested it with the -mmin command in stead of -mtime in order speed up testing.

Hi there - this works well but have tweaked it slightly to include the name of the virtual machine in the filename. rsync -av$rsync_dry_run_option "$disk" "$backup_location/$vm/$timestamp$new_disk" && zip -j "$backup_location/$vm/$timestamp$vm".zip "$backup_location/$vm/$timestamp"* && rm "$backup_location/$vm/$timestamp"*.img "$backup_location/$vm/$timestamp"*.xml

Good to hear Gizzo :-)

Gizmer, Not sure if my ssh issue had abrelations to the plug-ins. Try editing the known hosts as suggested by Gubbhnutten. It worked for me. deeks

I kinda guessed that you did not fix my issue, but hey the code got more robust AND my problem was solved anyhow. Best of both I guess! :-)

Hi Squid, CA is working again for me. So it was an DNS issue and after all I guess that was out of my control. Pullout out my hair after after the CA reinstall and a lot of fiddling with the router did not bring it back to life. Thanks for looking into the issue! Deeks

No worries Squiddo - first things first, see it as food for thought
