There were when I asked, but it's a CLI, not a GUI, and with the unRAID filesystem and the -arrs in Dockers too, I couldn't make the default setup work. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

Did you ever make any progress on this one, @Jokerigno? Ever since the Plex Watchlist feature was added, I've been hoping that there'd be greater interest in this, or this type of functionality.

I've had just about 5 days of uptime now, which I haven't managed in months. I must have reset that "Power Supply Idle Control" which, as you pointed out is mentioned all over the place, for a Ryzen needs to be "typical current idle". For the 2nd issue, the Dockers not having icons of WebUI, I found what worked was re-adding the dockers from Community Applications. My restored data and settings within the Dockers weren't touched, but the XML templates were fixed. Thanks for your help and patience, again, @trurl.

hmm. I did a clean shut down, put both flash drives in a Windows 10 laptop, overwrote three of the XML config files from old to new, started again and turned on one of the dockers with replaced/restored config XMLs and nothing changed. Just to try it, I went to Community Applications and reinstalled a Docker over an existing Docker application I didn't care too much about losing recent work in (after making sure it was stopped). Carefully filling in the paths, it seems to have repaired the application. With that success, I moved onto the ones I cared more about and they all seem to work and present as expected. What happens on the back end when I go to Community Applications and reinstall a Docker over an existing Docker application? I think I'm fixed & I'll know if the instability was addressed by the BIOS update and setting "Power Supply Idle Control" to "typical current idle" if it doesn't become unresponsive over the weekend. Thanks so much for your time and patience!

Well, I have the original flash drive that's just been sitting on the desk for 2 weeks. Can I plug both flash drives into a Windows/Linux box and overwrite the templates-user folder/files? (RTFM)

That doesn't sound familiar, though I admit I had trouble finding clear steps explaining the options for the restoration process. You're saying I didn't, because this is what happens, and my best bet is to do a new restore with that option checked? Can you point me to that process outlined correctly?

So this feels like a new problem to you? CA Backup / Restore Appdata doesn't let me pick and choose which apps to restore so I'd lose some currency from Sonarr & Radarr, etc. and they're among the broken ones. The dockers are running - I get pushbullet notifications when I turn them on that things are happening and new episodes show up in Plex. What controls the context menu in the Docker container list? Where in the XML is it sourcing the icons? (what in the world could have borked that XML?)

From the fresh USB, I had a screenshot of my Dockers from the old machine and reinstalled each of them from Community Applications, then restored the Appdata. Plex didn't take the restore so I checked the distribution and realized I'd picked a different one this time. I uninstalled it then installed the distribution that I'd used on the old machine, then ran the full restore again. They worked that way for a couple days (with a couple tweaks to share mapping) before starting to drop icons and WebUI links. I'm unclear if reinstalling them from Community Applications overwrites the existing Appdata. I fear that reinstalling them, then restoring the Appdata a 3rd time will get me back in the same position, now mixing in the versioning wildcards of some of the installations being newer versions than the restored Appdata.

Bazarr has no WebUI. And neither do any without icons.

I still have the original (registered) USB stick, but before I restored the Appdata, I did use Community Applications to reinstall the dockers. Is that overwritten by the restore? (It wouldn't have been back in the day with a rooted android with restored app data, which is why I did it that way.) So, I guess I grab that config folder from the old one?

Thanks, @trurl! The BIOS is updated (was a good 2.5 yrs out of date) and "Power Supply Idle Control" is now set "typical current idle". I should know by tomorrow night if it's any less crashy... In my defense, it was pretty stable for large swathes of the past 4 years. As for why I didn't ask for help, ah, I have a good record of fixing computers by referencing other's posts - it's my job and I'm good at it, in non-Unraid terms - probably mixed with a little social anxiety and stubbornness. Any thoughts on the Docker icon/WebUI weirdness, fellow humans?

I was having some instability with my server, which I set up initially in 2017, so here's what I did: I got a new USB drive and started a fresh install. (These logs are from the fresh install.) From the freshly created boot USB, I recreated my shares, used Community Applications to reinstall exactly the same Dockers as I'd backed up on the "old machine", used CA Backup / Restore Appdata to restore Appdata. I've run a couple parity checks and had a few errors initially, but none from the most recent check. Now I'm having 2 pretty acute problems: The machine drops off the network and becomes unresponsive to the locally connected keyboard after around a day - usually a bit after finishing the automatic parity check due to being powered off when it stops responding to the outside world. When I'm pretty sure it's become catatonic, I firmly pushed the power off button and it starts an orderly shut down, but freezes at "Starting diagnostics collection..." While it's on, the icons for most of the docker containers has disappeared, and for those that it has, the "WebUI" option is missing. Things I've tried: Running regular and extended "Fix Common Problems" (had some regular issues, fixed them) Verified all the Dockers worked and had been restored properly prior to their icons disappearing - in one instance going directly to the URL of the server:port continued to work after the option disappeared, in others it didn't. Running "Docker Safe New Permissions" in case Unraid didn't think I "owned" some important bits of data. Restarted cleanly a minute after completing a parity check. With power off and wearing a ground, used canned air to clean the machine from top to bottom and an isopropyl alcohol wipe to clean the contacts on the RAM and video card (as I'd swapped them around a bit prior to starting with a fresh USB of Unraid). Hoping you kind folks can give me some other avenues to run down. tower-diagnostics-20211104-1510.zip tower-diagnostics-20211101-0007.zip

I was able to clear off some files and generally avoided the issue for a few months, but just ran into the problem again. I'm sure that I could have found a way to configure booting from a specified flash drive, but found a way to do it from within the Windows VM: https://www.easeus.com/partition-master/delete-oem-partition.html Reporting back in case it might help anyone finding this in the future.

Well, I'm not entirely sure how to go about doing that. Didn't find anything concrete on these forums about booting from USB (on a USB controller that was passed through to the VM) aside from a brief mention of booting from a WindowsToGo USB with a GPT partition. Also, adding the gparted live .iso file as the OS install ISO copied it to the VM's directory but it didn't prioritize it over Windows 10 in the boot sequence. Any other suggestions to get me on the right path?

I've both converted my main vdisk1.img to SCSI and grown it from 50G to 100G. Still boots. (yay!) Thing is, the 50.00 GB Unallocated is separated from my C: partition by an 843MB OEM partition. If this was a physical PC, I'd boot into GParted and wail away at it. It's not. Any suggestions for shuffling Windows partitions within an .img? I'm not sure what documentation would be helpful, but I'm happy to provide anything that might help.

Still worked in 2018.

Those two changes (or potentially one of them, since I made them together) seem to have done it. Not only have the alarms stopped going off, but it's been up for a personal record of 2.5 days! Thanks All!

Huh. Well, doubleohwhatever, I didn't learn about that before buying my Ryzen 7. I'll report back here once I've had some relevant experience.

Thanks so much for your suggestions. I'll make the indicated changes next time I can safely shut down, or the next time it shuts down by itself.

This power supply, a Corsair - CXM 750W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply, has served faithfully for an Intel motherboard for 4 years before powering the current ASRock - X370 Taichi ATX AM4 Motherboard with a Ryzen 7 1700. In the few minutes between posting that I'd run memtest and while I looked up the power supply details, my system did a quick little reboot without having been asked to do anything after booting. Now, I'm also seeing the word "undefined" peppered along the top left portion of the LimeTech banner: tower-diagnostics-20180209-0050.zip

I ran memtest; no errors.

It crashed totally again at 5:45 or so. unresponsive to mouse, ssh. Here's the diagnostics from immediately after rebooting. tower-diagnostics-20180208-2315.zip

Oh, I'm preclearing my last drive, so I'm pretty sure I can't update to 6.4.1 yet.

"Your server has detected hardware errors. You should install mcelog via the NerdPack plugin, post your diagnostics and ask for assistance on the unRaid forums. The output of mcelog (if installed) has been logged." I had one impromptu shut down, and on my trial install, on a different USB flash drive I had a variety of problems that reading up seemed to indicate was due to problems with the flash drive. I'm not sure what all the diagnostics will tell people who are accustomed to reading them, but "Fix Common Problems" seems pretty sure that I should be freaking out here. Happy to answer any questions for anyone interested in suggesting what's going on. Thanks! tower-diagnostics-20180208-0003.zip

I have a question that I think should be pretty simple: Between a Ryzen 5/7 and a Intel i5, for running a few Docker containers (Plex/Sonarr/Radarr), serving files under modest load, and occasionally running Windows 10 for 1080p gaming at "average" video quality, is it going to be significantly more turn-key to go Intel than AMD? I'm planning on going big with CPU & motherboard, spend about $30 on a Excel-rated GPU and wait a couple months to hopefully upgrade to a upper-mid level graphics card at a reasonable price. I've read enough about Ryzen to get excited, but I also need everything to work reasonably well within a few days of starting the project. I've read through the forums and seen some similar posts languish. Hoping the brevity of this one encourages response. Basically, I'm I think I'm asking about the state of GPU/PCI passthrough and what specific qualities I'd need to look for in a GPU/motherboard to facilitate the use case I've outlined. Thanks!
