    Can't update several dockers since 6.2

    in Docker Engine

    Posted

    I am getting an error when trying to update a couple of dockers. These are all  linuxserver repos, Plex, Teamspeak3 (both the original and new unraid branch) and unify are all throwing the same error. I was able to update PlexPy and Headphones from linuxserver without issue.

     

    Error: layers from manifest don't match image configuration

     

    Thanks for your help.

    VM for game servers, steamCMD, alt?

    in VM Engine (KVM)

    If you're only talking 2-4 people, then you are fine with e5-2670. Way overkill actually. Multiple VM's would not help the MC instances. I run 1 VM of MineOS and host 4-5 active servers off it alone, giving it 6 cores and a ton of RAM.

     

    What ISO are you running for VM? I had got a MineOS docker running a few months back and now I have having troubles with it. I figured I can wait until I get the new system up, but I am really unsure where to start with VMs.

     

    Assuming I run a VM for MineOS, any suggestions for a separate VM that would host other game servers?

     

    Thanks for the help!

    What games are you looking to host. Many game servers are not multithreaded at all, so single core CPU speed is king.

     

    I run a couple of Minecraft servers off of my e5-2670 system, but mostly keep low demanding MC servers there. I have an e3-1275 running my two high population/demanding MC servers. The e5's just could not keep up.

     

    Doubtful this would be for more than any 2 running at the same time, however would running multiple VMs help get more CPUs working?

    I will be building my e5-2679 system later this week and want to start the journey into VMs. I am interested is hosting servers for a few games but am not finding much info here. Does anyone have any guides, suggestions or best practices to get me started?

     

    I have read a little about steamCMD but don't see much from an unRaid point of view.

     

    Also interested in modded Minecraft servers.

     

    Thanks!

    I believe the is one of the more popular dual cpu boards discussed here. Newegg has it back in stock and just dropped the price back under $300.

    Hopefully you animals don't buy them all up before I get a chance to make up my mind. I just recently received a new chassic (supermicro 846) and am really torn between this board and getting a more expensive supermicor X9 board.

    Hi All!

     

    I am about to pull the trigger on the Intel S2600CP Motherboard w/Dual E5-2670 SR0KX combo kit on Natex, but maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me, but I read in the specs that there is 1 PCIe x16 slot (for a video card), but i am not seeing it in the pix.  My plan is to, down the road, install a GTX1070 or 1080 to have a single Gaming VM on my setup.  Can this MB do this?

     

    Thanks!

     

    I'm in exactly the same boat, very interested in the answer. Also, can someone explain how the 2 different ram packages would matter for an unraid box? I am never against spending a little more $$, but I'd like to know what my $50 is going to get me.

    Ignore the peasants. Put in Dual 6 core Xeons, max it out with 128GB of RAM. 32 CPUs roaring through content as you stream 4k to every room in the house. Sit back on your leather office chair, put your feet up, drink that 18 yr old scotch with some coke. You deserve it.

     

    There's no such thing as TOO much power only too little.

     

    I would never water down my scotch, let alone waste it with coke... lol

    E5-2670 Build, Thoughts on this combo before I pull the trigger?

    I have been watching all the talk about the dual Xeon build and haven't seen this combo so I wanted to run in by the community before I pull the trigger.

     

    I currently have 11 drives + Parity + Cache drive for 13 bays currently in use. I am using a Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 currently. Server will be used for media storage / acquisition / Plex transcoding (3 streams). Once I have the upgrade finished I may look to experiment with some VMs.

     

    I am looking at the Natex combo, seems most agree this is a good value. Does the mobo have any glaring shortcoming I am need to know about?

    I have been looking for a supermicro chassis and from what I can find, the R1200B has the SAS2 backplane so I shouldn't have any issues with >2TB drives.

    Cache Drive unmountable

    in General Support

    Posted

    Perhaps I am still have more that just simple Read-Only issues. I have another drive I thought I would get ready and swap out if that ended up being the issue so I attempted to start moving the appdata files off the cache drive that is giving me problems and am finding errors during the transfer. Is there other reisirfs checks / corrections I should be attempting?

     

    Thanks again for the support.

    ok, that got the drive back mounted correctly, now I can't seem to get the docker tab back in the GUI. it is showing enabled in the setting page, and it looks like the files and docker.img are all there. what am i missing?

     

     

    Cache Drive unmountable

    in General Support

    Posted

    Just got home from a short vacation and found my teamspeak docker disabled. I check to see if anything was ready for an update and found that my system was ready for unRaid 6.1.8 coming from 6.1.7. I installed the update and followed the request for a reboot. Upon a clean reboot I find that my cache drive is now showing as unmountable. I have attached my syslog, unfortunate I didn't grab on before the reboot as I didn't think I was having any system issues.

     

    This drive contains my dockers and nothing more. If there is a way to recover that information or get this drive back to a mountable state that would save me the headache of setting up all of those programs again. This is one of my oldest drive, so I am not sure if I should be checking for hardware failure (advice on how to check that would also be helpful). I have attached a SMART report for this drive if that can be of any help.

     

    Thanks for taking the time to check and help me out.

    4U Server Case Question

    in Hardware

    Posted

    With the Supermicro case, you can swap out the backplane for a SAS2 model for ~$175 used or $250 new. Which also requires fewer ports on the drive controllers. You can get the AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 for $75-$125. If I recall correctly, you only need 1 of those unless you want failover for the card.

     

    I've been really happy with mine. The biggest issue I've had is getting the right rails. I keep ordering the 57 4U rails and getting the 53 2U rails in a 53 box that's been relabeled as 57. This is several different vendors so I don't know what's going on there.

     

    Did you swap out the backplane? Mine linking the model number? I believe I already own that expansion card, if that is the supermicro card suggested on the forums. 

    4U Server Case Question

    This seems kike an important note the seller has added

     

    ***3TB and 4TB Hard Drive may not be recognized by the backplane if fully populated.

     

    Only an issue once "fully populated?" Is this just a math problem? 24 x 2 Tb = 48 Tb max storage recognition? So would 10 x 4 Tb = 40Tb work? Sorry, I probably should understand this, it just isn't clicking for me yet.

     

    Noise. Those 900w beasts are LOUD!!

     

    Will be going into the basement far away from people, if they are still an issue I understand upgrading to the 1200w, or just using my current PSU will fix that. I really don't have need for redundancy.

     

    Also, the backplane is a 24 port expander, so fully populated there may be some bottlenecks through the SAS connector.

     

    Is this only a concern once fully populated? What sort of speed reduction should I been worried about? I don't see filling the 24 drive bays in the very near future, but if/when that day comes can the backplane be upgraded? Cost effective?

     

    Once I have the new server build it will mainly be media acquisition and serve 2-4 plex streams. At what point (I'm assuming Plex is the concern) will I be trying to play too many plex 1080 streams that this blackplane becomes the concern? Anything else the machine would be used for (Minecraft VM or Docker, Teamspeak3 Docker, home automation docker, media acquisition dockers) will all run off a cache drive directly connected to the Mobo. This would eliminate any issues with the backplane correct?

     

    Thanks for your response!
