    The OpenVPN on the router is probably a server, not a client.  You use it to connect to your server remotely

    I thought I was setting up a client. ??? I get the whole client server OpenVPN thing, which is why I am now confused. Do you have a recommendation as to where I could research this more? I figured that router would make a great client. geez...

    Then you don't need to worry about seeding, because there is no seeding on usenet at all.  Purely a one-way connection.

    Yea, just realized that. I am just getting back into all of this... been away for a while and I have bigger fires, so I only get to play sporadically.

    I've always gotten line speeds.  As a matter of fact, I limit the bandwidth to leave room for all my other devices.  If I don't, they slow to a crawl.

    I've apparently not gotten mine setup correctly then. The Googling has me thinking I need something to unwrap the packets faster, ergo the standalone bigger processor. Dunno, I'll just keep on plugging away...

    If you're using torrents instead of usenet, then probably.  But as you've noted, sure it'll fill up quickly.  And then once it's full you're going to be downloading to the array, which will slow everything down huge.

    This is what I have noticed which is why I inquired about the SSD for the speed bump.

    However, I am using Usenet and not torrents.

    I am more concerned about the pipe being exposed between me and the news servers.

    OpenVPN on my new EdgeRouter Pro is crazy slow. After some research I figured out I am going to need a box with at least a Xeon octa core @ 3.5Ghz just to get around 500 MB down. I soon won't need a furnace!

  4. Very nice... thanks!

     

    Don't use torrents though... scare me from the past. Utilizing Usenet right now.

    Maybe I just need to re-vist torrents. Least that way I wouldn't have to build a flippin VPN box yet to get the line speeds my ISP offers.

     

    Mind if I ask what service you use for the torrents?

    I'm not anal enough to care about running a post-processing script via Sonarr to remove things like excess subtitles, etc

    hahahaha me either, ergo the vanilla install!

    First thing to do is make sure that the incomplete and completed downloads referenced by your DL client are stored on a cache-only share

    Won't doing this fill up the SSD quickly? I can't afford them thar fancy TB models and I want to give back by seeding.

    or alternatively cache-prefer

    Yea, I get this, but I am still trying to wrap my head around it. I have that great post that RobJ wrote up and it dumbs it down nice.

    Not to make excuses, but I am trying to learn unRAID (my stress relief outlet, really am a geek), and trying to finish my Master's degree in an entire different subject.

    My hard drive is old and it takes all I can to do one, let alone both ?

    then edit the paths on your download docker, Sonarr docker, Radarr docker, etc to point to the UD mount.

     

    The 'how to' on path editing is what has me confused. Adding a stand-alone SSD hit me after I posted. Any posts for path editing you are aware of? I did try to search it out...

    If you're using Sonarr to simply rename the completed downloads and toss them onto the array (as probably most people do), then you have your DL client download to a cache-

    only share, unpack them there, and then Sonarr moves the completed downloads onto the array.

     

     

    I am using the basic Sonarr setup - rename -> pass to array. I am all about learning about the post-processing scripts though. Any posts come to mind?

    Have another issue to weed out first... all my Docker's are making like 8086 days... slooooow. No matter what I do, webui, start, stop, restart, I have molasses that moves faster! Off to research that...

     

  7. Hi @binhex,

     

    Not sure if this is correct place to post for this (feature request), so apologies if not.

    I also do not know if this is something you would address or if it needs to go to the folks doing Sonarr directly.

    Would it make sense to use an SSD (Cache?) to pull the files to, the INcomplete files, process them and then move them to complete folder on the array?

    Looking at overall speed and processing/unpacking speed is all. This may be a foolish idea and undoable.

    However, one does not know until they ask.
    Thanks much for a great product! Beer on the way!

  8. The folks over at SuperMicro stated that the SuperDoctor X will sadly run neither in a VM nor a Docker container.

    I have opted for an unplugged, PCI type, rear slot card with four POTS that will allow for manual control of four to eight fans.

    I do have some minimal control via the "Fan Auto Control" plugin and I am able to see one of the CPU temps via the "System Temp" plugin.

    It is not IPMI, but then that's my fault for not buying a board with it!

    It took a bit of tweaking via "sensors-detect", but I now at least have a modicum of feedback.

    Have a read through this thread, it helped me a lot. Enjoy! ?

  9. Thank you for the link, I will hold on to it for future reference.

     

    At present, the list does not contain either of the two boards I am using, X10DAC and the H8DME-2.

     

    Now I just need to figure out why the System Temperature plugin krumps whenever trying to display Mainboard Temp and Fan Arry Speed; can only get Processor Temp to work. Off to another part of the forum... Thanks for the assist!

  10. Just want to say "Thanks!" again to all who help those of us who are still finding our way.

     

    To answer your question, I am actually able to see what I need; I just wasn't understanding what it was I was looking at, nor how to manipulate it, until now.

     

    You were 100% right in the Google search, weird though how I never found this particular link before. The content was extremely helpful, and "dumbed it down" so I could understand it.

    Using some of the methods described, I had my "ah-ha" moment and am now able to control my fans. I now just need to play with the great Fan Auto Control plugin by @bonienl so I can achieve the results I am looking for. To that end, I have searched and cannot find a description or wiki for the plugin that defines exactly what the "MINIMUM... LOW... HIGH" settings relate to. This may be obvious to some, but unfortunately not me. Any direction would be appreciated.

     

    I am excited to actually be able to finally control the fans in this unit! Thanks again to everyone for their help! The offer still stands to anyone that may need info from Super Micro, I am happy to contribute what little I can.

  11. Hi All,

     

    I actually have a dialogue with someone at SuperMicro! He informs me that the SM SuperDoctor 5 will not run in a Docker or VM, so that idea is dead. However, since I have their ear, I am willing to ask for what ever data is needed to get the Dynamix plugins to work with SM sensors that have yet to be figured out. Shall we give it a go?

  12. Hi PWM,

    It's very hard with temperatures, because you need to know what offset and/or scale you need to configure for the different inputs to get them to translate the raw measurement into an actual temperature. Best would be if you could find someone else with same motherboard and a posted configuration file that contains the configuration values for the nct6791 sensor.

     

    I wish the motherboard manufacturers could have been nice and post these translation figures to make it easy for Linux users to measure temperatures and voltages instead of having to depend on the manufacturers often Windows-only tools.

     

    So, if I can score the "Offset" you need for the nbt7904 sensor, would it be possible for you, or someone else, to tweak the Dynamix Temps and Fans plugins? I am desperate to "see" two systems I have. I have an ear at SuperMicro right now and would love to contribute to the unRAID Community, I am not above asking for those values you need. If you let me know exactly what you need (because I am clueless), I will pass the request along and see if I can get them for you. If there are multiple "Sensors" that you need info for, lets see if we can get the data for all of them; in for a penny, in for a pound!

     

    Unfortunately, I do not know what to ask for, or I would not bother you. What I do appreciate is how folks like you are making an effort to help everyone. The Community has been of immense help to me as a Newbie getting their first systems up and running, I have read many posts and do not recall any of them not having a nugget of wisdom in them. So, I would like to give back if I can. Please let me know what you think you might need. And... Thanks!

     

  13. Hello All,

     

    I would like to open with... the forums have been of SIGNIFICANT help with getting my first (planning on at least three) unRAID server up and working like a charm! Thank you to everyone for their contributions in making this easy and fun.

    So, stupid me bought an SuperMicro X10DAC-0 MB that does not have IPMI and has the nbt7904 sensor (insert ridicule here). As indicated here the Dynamix Temp nor Fan controller will function with this sensor.

    I have gone way down this "fan control" rabbit hole, even looked at an external fan controller, to get some way to cool the unit, but not have the fans screaming at 100%; 50% speed does not cut it, system gets too hot.

     

    So, I had this ingenious idea that it would be great if someone could create a Docker Container that would run SuperDoctor 5. I have no clue whatsoever if this is even possible. IF, however, it is, it would make a fantastic alternative to the Dynamix solutions, for those of us who have the wrong SuperMicro MB and cannot use the great Dynamix solutions. Please do not cast stones at my system, I have thrown enough stones at it to date ?. I am willing to be a guinea pig (AND make a donation) if someone wants to tweak the Dynamix or Docker container solutions, based on the nbt7904 sensor!

     

    Thanks again to everyone for their great insight and posts on all things unRAID!
