So I had a look on the Power section of corefreq while my server was idling and I was a bit surprised! The package power would never go below 35W and would mostly oscillate between 45 and 65W. As a comparison, a friend of I who has roughly the same VM and dockers as mine is idline at less than 5W with a i5-13500! I double checked my bios and C-states are enabled. governor is set on powersave. Next step will be to switch off some containers!

thanks that is very helpful. I have a parity build running at the moment so my CPU is busy. I will check that as soon as it's done In Tips and Tweaks my governor was on performance...

thanks for yor help! So i tweaked my Bios and I can now read an average of 110W after one hour. Mostly power related featured that were set to Auto and switched them to enable. There is some improvement. I can see this in the Corefreq plugin but am not sure what I shoudl inderstand Next step will be to power dockers on and off to identify the power hungry one. When it comes to the PCIE card it will be more difficult to compare apple to apple since I cannot start my array without my SAS card. I will still order a ASM1166 sata adapter to give it a try.

Thanks mate. Very valid points, I will check that

Hi all, I accidently increased the size of my Home Assistant qcow2 image (to 162GB!) and I would like to shrink it back to 60GB. Do you have any idea how I could do that safely? Thanks a lot!

I did follow the Powertop topic to improve the C-State but couldnt notics any major improvment. Maybe may PCIE cards are preventing the system to reach high C-Levels. I will certainly give it another try. My 10GBe card is a Mellanox ConnectX (MT26448) (sfp+) I didn't expect the SAS card (an LSI SAS2008) to be so power hungry. I will look into the ASM1166 to replace it. Can I ask you what kind of MB and CPU you have?

I will check that first

I am using 2 devices: 1) a plug with direct reading on it 2) a smartplug (TP-Link) both give roughly the same figures (+/- 3%)

Dear Unraid enjoyers, I am once again asking for your help and wisdom! The purpose of this post is to figure out how I can come with a more power-efficient hardware that will still be suitable for my use case. My current setup is the following: i9-11900k Gigabyte z590 Aorus Ultra 64GB of ram 9x HDD array 2x NVME for cache 1x SAS card 1x 10GBe card 1x Coral m.2 Corsair CX650M My use case is the following: About 30 docker containers running Main applications are Nextcloud, Plex, Immich, Frigate, The Arr suite and few other services (reverse proxy, zigbee2mqtt, nodered...) Plex transcodes up to 4 4k streams in parallel 1 VM (Home assistant) It's been working just fine for 3 years but I now find it too power hungry for my test. It also looks WAY overkill for my use case (see below). The whole things draws 200W on average and idle at 140W (at best). I've been using Powertop to optimze the whole thing without a lot of success. I guess my PCIE cards are preventing the system to reach higher C-Levels. So here are my questions: Is it normal to draw 200W on average with this setup? Is there any way I can draw less power without changing the hardware? Should I have to change my hardware, which ones of the following platforms would drive the most significant drop in power consumption and still be powerful enough for my use case: Config A: N305-based board (probably th emost power-efficient configuration in my list but is it suitable with my use-case) Config B: 7840Hs-based board (wondering about the compatibility with unraid and hardware transcoding) Congig C: i5-13500 + ATX Board (I have no doubt this will be powerful enough but I am wondering if it will be power-efficient) Any other ideas?

thanks @Rysz. This is very helpful!

Hi all, I am using this UPS I configured NUT so it uses the blazer_usb driver as per the documentation. I can see the UPS is online, I can see the battery level and the UPS load but I cannot see the runtime left. Maybe I did something wrong. How can I get the runtime left ? Thanks

Hi All, Over the last few weeks, my NUT plugin was displaying a remaining time left of 0:00:00 (in red) instead of the usual 25min. Since my UPS was 5 years old I changed the battery. After the battery replacement, it was showing again 28min but few hours later, it came back to 0:00:00 (in green). Any idea what is going on? Thanks! nut-debug-20240128115505.zip

Hi, thans for the tips that did the trick!

Hi guys, I just noticed I have the same red errors popping up every minute in my log: Dec 3 20:29:47 MAXIMUS kernel: pcieport 0000:00:1d.0: AER: Corrected error received: 0000:09:00.0 Dec 3 20:29:47 MAXIMUS kernel: nvme 0000:09:00.0: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Corrected, type=Physical Layer, (Receiver ID) Dec 3 20:29:47 MAXIMUS kernel: nvme 0000:09:00.0: device [15b7:5006] error status/mask=00000001/0000e000 Any Idea what it is? Thanks

I will gladly UP too

Hi guys, I am looking for the /usr/share/jellyfin/web folder so I can make some customizations in it. I have been looking for it in the appdata folder as well as in the container but couldn’t find it. In other versions of the container(in the binhex one for instance) I could find it. Can you please help! Thanks!

For testing purposes, I created a new account. It does work. I can login with it. Then, I backed up my database, uninstalled my container, reinstalled it and restore the database. I can still login with the new login I created but not with my main accounts. So I decided to checkout the list of users and... There is only my test account. All my other users are gone. Is there anyway to fix te database? Thanks!!!

Hi everyone, I've been running that docker for 2 years with no issue but this evening, for some reason, I can't login anymore. My wife can't login neither with her own credentials. we are 100% sure our credentials are right and yet, when we login, it will say our login and/or password are wrong. Can't login from the WEBUI and the browser extension Unlocking using Biometrics works on my macbook and my iphone. However, as soon as I made an actual logout on those apps, I couldn't login anymore using my credentials. I can log into the admin page using my token tho. Also, there is nothing showing up in the log Any idea how to solve that?

Having the same issue when I made a fresh install of the container today

Hi everyone, I am trying to install the Recognize app (for face recognition) and I am getting the following error: Any idea how I could fix this? Thanks!

Thanks, I fixed the appdata files being on the array! that did the trick For the docker img, to be honest it's only 32GB as we speak I did set it to 100GB because I thought that was the issue. I am not sure whether I should shrink it to 40GB

Hi @Squid, did you have a chance to have a look on my diag? I am so sorry to chase after you but this makes my unraid GUI almost unusable. I have really no idea what's going on. Thanks a lot!

So do you think it's because my docker image is on the cache pool?

Here you go! Thx maximus-diagnostics-20230114-1623.zip

Hi guys, Sorry I am late for the party but I experience the same. Dockers are extremely fast to download but then it; s the chekcing and extracting phases that are very slow. I didnt experience that before I updated to the latest version of Unraid. Any idea?
