Maybe this should be given some thought - if the "UNRAID" drive won't boot then try "UNRAID_BK" and allow it to run temporarily until the license is re-registered. In reading some other threads on this it seems like the way to backup the USB is to backup /tower/flash to any other PC on your system or to the cloud. You should even be able to do this on a Windows machine on a daily basis using SyncToy. It seems to me that the least useful place to back this up would be on your unRAID server since it is tricky to get to it when you will need it to recover from a flash drive failure.

How frequently have folks found the USB flash drives going bad? If it happens every once in a while then why not to have a second USB flash drive that is a clone of the first (and have that functionality built into CA Backup) and have them set up 1 & 2 in the boot order? That way you have redundancy for your system "drive" at a cost of less than $10. Or is there some reason why this is a bad idea?

What about when you upgrade versions, like from 6.31 to 6.32, won't that be out of date?

What's the best strategy for keeping the backups of your USB? By default they go onto your unRAID server but if your USB key is hosed then your server won't start so you would have to move the disk(s) to another server to find the backup, wouldn't you? Therefore shouldn't you keep the USB backup on another PC or in the cloud or somewhere else? How about even a second USB key connected to your unRAID server? That is cheap and would make getting back up a snap as you just move the key or even just change the boot order.

I am trying to use this but I am not sure that I am setting up the container path correctly. I tried /mnt/user/appdata/syncthing. Is that where it should be? What I am setting this up to do is to backup files from my unRAID server to another server on my LAN, or perhaps to a portable USB hard drive for my own offsite backups. Is syncthing the correct tool to do this?

Thanks.

I have scheduled this plugin it to run every week and I have selected the "Put backups into separate dated sub folders?" option. But when I click apply it still warns me that all files and folders in my destination backup folder will be deleted. But isn't it using a sub-dated folder from this folder, in which case nothing will be deleted, unless (perhaps) it is the second backup that day.

What's the subdomain method? I did have to change rutorrent to use a base url of /rutorrent/ rather than the root but I don't know if that can be changed with the Unifi controller. It doesn't seem to have a nginx.conf file the way that rutorrent did.

Is anyone able to get reverse proxying working for the Unifi docker? I have this working for other dockers but not for Unifi. From my LAN, before trying reverse proxying, hitting http://tower:8080 or https://tower:8443 will redirect to https://tower:8443/manage/account/login?redirect=%2Fmanage. When I try the following in my default file I will get a 404 error from Apache Tomcat. location ^~ /unifi { include /config/nginx/proxy.conf; proxy_pass http://192.168.1.99:8080; } Same thing when I try location ^~ /unifi { include /config/nginx/proxy.conf; proxy_pass https://192.168.1.99:8443 } I also tried both of the above with trailing slashes after unifi. Any ideas on how to get this working?

Where do I learn more about these custom networks and how they work? I am not an expert on networking so I don't totally understand how all of this stuff works. Can you set up the range for docker IPs to be in non-contiguous bits? What I mean by this is that I would like to be able to use the IP addresses of 192.168.1.224-254? In other words I want to use the first five bits of the last octal of the IP address. Is that possible or do you have to use a /25 network which means, I think, that you would have to use the entire range from 128-254 - but I can't do that as I have other things using those address and I already have a ton of devices on my LAN so I can't afford to give up 128 addresses to unRAID. And I don't want to go to a /23 network (and use 192.168.0.1-254) as I am sure that I will break stuff as it will mean having to change the subnet mask for everything else on my network.

It looks like you have to go into Settings to see what version you have - and I have: Currently Installed Build unRAID Version: 6.3.1 DVB Version: LibreELEC Driver Version: 1.2.1 DVB Kernel: Detected

I use the LibreElec build if I remember correctly.

No, I don't think I need that. The main thing that I need from that build is the drivers for the Hauppauge HD-PVR and firewire. I haven't updated for a bit so I am on 6.3.1.

ok thanks - I need the DVB build for my TV tuners so I will have to wait until it comes out and you get the DVB build done.

How would I change the commands in the OP if I wanted the IP range for my dockers to be from 192.168.1.224-192.168.1.254? Is that possible? Alternatively, how would the original commands change, and then the docker creation, if I wanted to use a static IP when creating a docker? On May 1 a bunch of this stuff was said to be coming soon - presumably it has landed? That isn't mentioned in this thread. If so, in what version?

Thanks.

So I did this (except I used /rutorrent rather than /ru in the location line) and it works for me now - however when I am in the unRAID dashboard and I click on the web UI it doesn't work since it tries to open http://tower:7777 rather than http://tower:7777/rutorrent which is now the correct URL given the config change that we did in the /appdata/rutorrent/nginx/nginx.conf file . What do you do you fix the URL that it uses by default in the dashboard?

Anyone? My port settings are: 3389,6080,5911. My paths are /mnt/user/appdata/ubuntu/.config and /mnt/user/appdata/ubuntu/unraid

If I make changes in the /appdata/rutorrent/rtorrent/rtorrent.rc file will it persist after I upgrade the docker? It looks like it will but I am not 100% sure - I changed the download rate to 0. After an upgrade it shows in the settings through the web UI as 102400 KiB/s - is that what the web UI shows when you set to 0 which is supposed to be unlimited?

I just noticed this message on my console: "chmod: cannot operate on dangling symlink '/usr/sbin/speedtest-linux'. Does anyone else see this?

Is there any way to access the /var/www/localhost/rutorrent/plugins/autotools/ path without being in the docker? It would be nice to be able to use editors other than vi (which I find EXTREMELY unfriendly to use) or even use a Samba share so that you can edit it from Notepad++.

Can you use Controlr remotely? Or does ControlR need full access to port 80 on your server to work?

Me too!

Is there any way to use a local file rather than a URL? And when you do this will it restart the docker?

How do you change the docker icons?
