  1. How do I find the size of docker.img? I don't see it on the Dashboard - where do I look in the UI or do I need an SSH session to find this out? I deleted a few dockers that I wasn't using much and this has caused things down a bit, but overnight it did happen again.
  2. For the last seven hours or so I am getting messages that my docker disk utilization is high - it gets up to around 76% and then will generally fall back below 70%. I haven't changed anything on my system. How do I troubleshoot this? Does this mean that the usage for one particular docker is high, or for all of the dockers in aggregate? I have installed Cadvisor but I don't know what to look for. In the meantime I am getting spammed by notifcations and emails about this - which I guess I can turn off, but how do I fix this? Here is an example of the notification: Docker high image disk utilization: 11-07-2017 21:29 Warning [HOYLAKE] - Docker image disk utilization of 75% Docker utilization of image file /mnt/user/system/docker/docker.img
  3. Or maybe you can store the Kodi thumbnails on the same drive as your media files - as long as it wouldn't degrade performance.
  4. Good to know - I only became worried about this as I recently had the second SD card fail for me on a RPi and I figured that SD cards and flash drives are pretty much the same thing. But I guess the Pi is using the SD card all the time, unlike unRAID's use of the flash drive.
  5. 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.
  6. 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?
  7. Thanks - any idea what config, if any, you have to do on the server side to facilitate HTTPS downloads? My VPN server is running Ubuntu and I have Apache running on that VPN server as well. Can I just then move the files to a directory that Apache has access to and then initiate a HTTP(S) download by clicking on the file? But I guess this is still not a solution using docker as I will need to run IDM on Windows. Bitkinex seems to work ok on Windows but, as I mention above, I am only able to use 1/3 of my 250 Mbps download speed. I may need to do some turning of various parameters to get it a bit faster, or do the same with IDM or maybe that is simply the best that you can get given latency issues over transcontinental connections, interconnect speeds between various ISPs, etc. I wonder why no one has ever written a GUI for lftp? lftp is still being actively developed as there have been three updates in 2017. It shouldn't be hard to take a GUI written for another ftp program, or even another file manager, and just change the cli commands to be lftp specific, while adding in a few options such as the number of segments to use when doing a pget in lftp.
  8. What about when you upgrade versions, like from 6.31 to 6.32, won't that be out of date?
  9. 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.
  10. 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?
  11. Bump - anybody know the answer to this, or another way to be able to quickly transfer files from Europe to North America? As I mention in the OP regular FTPs top out at 20Mbps, but I can get multi-segment FTPs up to about 80 Mbps - faster but still only less than 1/3 of my rated internet speed.
  12. 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.
  13. I read several forums and every forum, other than the LimeTech forum, sends me an email when there is a new post to a thread that I am following but it doesn't send me any more emails about this thread until I visit the thread. These LimeTech forums send me an email every time there is a post to a thread which can fill up your inbox as you can get a dozen emails in an hour when there is a very active thread. Is there any way to change this setting so that it only sends me one email about a thread until I visit the thread?
  14. 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.
  15. 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?
  16. Or you could just use the Let's Encrypt - Nginx docker to handle external access to your IPs via Reverse Proxy. I really like the idea of not having to use all of these funky port assignments since, at least IMHO, it creates a decent probability of having multiple dockers using the same port. And if you set up a hosts file or DNS then you need need to remember neither IP addresses nor ports. I started playing around with pfSense but decided to add a Ubiquiti Unifi USG router to go along with my Unifi Access Points since they integrate so well with the Unifi Controller - and can be managed together by the Unifi Controller Docker on unRAID.
  17. So you no longer have to do the docker network create commands to enable the macvlan from a bash prompt?
  18. 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.
  19. 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
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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?
