  1. Well with no wifi your options are limited have tried to install homeassistant directly on your pi this is really leaving unRAID out of the equation and this should be discussed on the homeassistant forums not sure why you are having problems with the qcow2 option I have all of the apps running
  2. What do you mean when you say "node" are you trying to create a node red flow? If you are trying to control relays why use a raspberry pi why not wire up a relay bank be it 2 ,4 ,or 8 relays with a nodemcu or a D1 mini and flash it with tasmota integrate with MQTT within homeassistant
  3. That is how I did it has been rock solid since install
  4. Yeah I can't complain about "only" in the context of the bigger picture but the rest of my network and gear run 1000Gbps not that it gets that but this seems like a bottleneck somewhere, I did move my windows key over to the vm but no change also having issue with Blue Iris license key not persistent after reboot have to keep re-adding it to remove the watermark, I'm a newb with vm's my only other vm is homeassistant and that has been incredibly stable so I thought I'd move my Blue Iris instance over to my unRAID server since it was the only service running on my 8 core Ryzen machine that has a GTX1080 in It definitely an underutilized machine and costing me power
  5. Any pointers on why? I went into network settings, advance settings no option for speed change, looked at my switch for port config reports 1000Gbps link - full disclosure this vm is solely for Blue Iris maybe the cameras are the reason don't sound right though seems to me to be a driver issue? Using the latest virtio drivers oh and this is a vanilla install of windows no license yet could it be that? I bow to your superior intellect on this one😂
  6. Have you looked into WireGuard that works great and easy to setup
  7. Is this not what your looking for it's listed with the same model number that you listed? https://www.amazon.com/CRAFTSMAN-MAX-Cordless-Screwdriver-CMCF604/dp/B07ZK6GYRL/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=CRAFTSMAN+4V+MAX+Cordless+Screwdriver&qid=1604230961&sr=8-2
  8. SFP+ Mellanox Connect-X 2, I have 3 and work very well they were plug and play no config was done on my end and yes they were cheap
  9. 5. I'm running a mellanox card in mine and it works fine
  10. That's funny sure sounds like he never powered the drives up he only plugged in the sata cables otherwise he would have installed the drives in the cages sounds like he did not have the correct cables for the backplane or he was trying to squeeze ssd's inside the server and did not consider their power requirements I have ssd's in both the backplane and I also put an ssd sled into the cd drive for additional storage and if your really crafty there is still 1 sata 2 port on the motherboard but as he found out you need to pull power from somewhere
  11. I have the LSI 9211-8i in my R710 works fine was plug and play but if i remember correctly you can not use the slot that the raid card was/is in I think it was proprietary or something you should be good to go if you want to look into it I got mine from the art of server not sure how different they are to each other
  12. Well ran into my first problem, the vdisk is only 6G and is completely full I cannot find where to change the size it won't let me do it in the VM configuration tab if I select the installation file the option to put a size on the vdisk goes away I looked at the html for an indicator for a vdisk and its size but no luck anyone want to take a shot helping out I will be googling in the mean time ***UPDATE**** problem solved for once I googled something and on the first hit found the solution that never happens sudo qemu-img resize /mnt/user/domains/hassos_ova-4.6.qcow2 +32G
  13. Cautiously optimistic, I found this surfing youtube and I think this is it hope I'm not violating any forum policies but I've tried several options for running homeassistant but just couldn't get a stable environment but this is promising I want to keep it running on my unRAID box but never got a traditional vm to be stable (terrible at command line🙃) anyway will post if things turn south but I have timed a reboot against my virtualbox vm and its a bit faster with this setup https://youtu.be/TSYL2PWQ3C4
  14. I was running a pi but load times after changes were getting long in the tooth and the stories of sd card failure loomed I tried running the docker setup on my unRAID box but it was unstable would drop out often and had to reconfigure a few times I now run it on another machine windows 10 based with virtual box been rock solid, this is not to say that the docker approach is bad I may not have been able to sort out the issues and just got frustrated with it the new pi4 with 4-8 gigs of ram now with native support for an ssd boot drive is something I will test but right now virtual box has been really good to date
  15. Maybe I missed it but you didn't mention what model external drives you have can you just shuck them seems like a very popular option then building a low specced pc with new hardware should be doable I've did a little search for AMD bundles and they seem to be around your budget with a little tweaking this way you could expand upon it as budget allows
  16. Thanks yeah I'm not comfortable swapping hard drives with power up, I have a couple NAS drives just laying on top of my rack so I figure it would be good to have a cold swap drive just sitting in wait as they serve no other purpose
  17. I have a 12 bay hot swap case all full can I remove a drive replace with a new disk and preclear as a ready to go spare then just replace the original drive without any issues?
  18. As it implies moving my server from a tower to a rack mount not changing any hardware just a swap from what I've read seems straight forward has anything changed due to updates or can I simply move the hardware and all is good will not be concerned about which disk is on which port as I've read that won't be an issue my parity drive is easy to recognize as its the only seagate drive and all will now be hot swap so will be labeled during the refit anything else of note to be concerned with?
  19. Well I ran another parity check but before doing that I realized that when I removed the server from the rack that my UPS was disconnected so I'm thinking because of that it threw me the errors the last run showed no errors with the UPS disabled in settings
  20. Ran a parity check last night and it reported 2 errors where do I find where those errors are or what device has issues? homenas-diagnostics-20200725-1703.zip
  21. Yeah I'm kinda gun shy since my VM has been stable for so long but full disclosure my VM is not on my unRAID box its on a spare albeit over powered Ryzen 1800x machine I followed Rob from the hookup's tute for running virtualbox to get a stable platform but I have now setup a pi4 4gb to boot from an ssd natively may see if the performance is now there I was worried about all the stories of micro sd card failures I'm not a linux guy but that might have a possibility in the future as well

    AFP

    Hey guys must of missed something as I don't see an option anymore for AFP securities settings under user shares I'm running the latest version of unRAID 6.9 beta 22 I did have my macbook serviced maybe something was reset
  24. Yep that's who I followed maybe I'll give it another go now that some updated releases have hit wonder if I could import my current setup into a new instance in unRAID seen vids that indicate that its possible just never tried it, do any of those images that the supervisor has created drop off line at all?
  25. To be honest I have had less than ideal attempts to run vm's at all especially in unRAID but its my lack of understanding of passthrough and just the overall setup to get close to bare metal performance I set my current system with virtual box and followed a tute from youtube and its the most stable instance i've had less when it was on a pi but speed was the issue from moving away from that although I might revisit that now that I have native boot from an ssd might see a nice performance bump but haven't read of anyone's experience yet
