  1. Hi there and thanks for this plugin! I've got an issue however. I run wireguard plugin I would love to add a VPN-Manager tab using Custom Tab but using the built in drop down menu is proving difficult. It does detect the Dynamix stuff, but it doesnt appear to forward to the proper page. unraidip:port/VPNManager VS unraidip:port/Settings/VPNManager When I hit apply this happens Which just shows a blank page..... And it should be Now, if I hard code it using URL, it works fine (But only on LAN, not VPN due to ip's being different) Any help would be greatly appreciated!
  2. I can appreciate the response Johnnie.Black...but it seems a bit of a cop-out. The system has been working for the last 10 months solid, without issue on the same flash drive.... all of a sudden one day, it stops working? A brand new flash drive, from a different company, same results? @itimpi why would another system make a difference? This is the same system (my gaming rig) used to make the drive the first time. Let alone different brand flash drives.. Also, as I stated in previous posts i've tried manual, and tool creation for the USB's.... I can rule out hardware issues, as i've said i installed w10 on a spare SSD with array and cache removed. Also booted live linux mint. all 4 network ports, and BMC port work on both. I even used the same normal (mobo slot) usb slot to install/run both... At this point, the only relevant factors I can come up with, revolved around the 6.6.7 update. Moreover, after the update i've had several of the same issues hundreds of others are having. Webui frozen and unresponsive. Sandisk (brand new, from bestbuy) Cruizer model? http://prntscr.com/mxzvii Lexar (older one, possible bad) V10 model? http://prntscr.com/mxzwaj At this point, without unraid booting, the flash drive isnt generating the diagnostic files. The last known file(s) I already uploaded, are a week old now. If anything is happening.. I dont know... On average from power-off, it would take about 5 minutes to boot... 4 of those minutes were array startup, bios, and ecc memory. let alone being a dual cpu board. Now, if I let it sit for upwards of 20 minutes, unraid it self I guess evantually boots, but not over the web since bond0 is failing. If theres a list of commands or something I can run from console/gui please let me know. (the above pics are from google, waiting for my phone to charge... used it all day at work) EDIT: Pics The third one is a random verbatim drive. I use this all the time for live installs and other. Also, I said 8gb lexar, turns out its 16gb. Other then that, those are the actual drives. Specifically, this is the sandisk drive that I purchased from bestbuy, exact link. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sandisk-cruzer-16gb-usb-2-0-flash-drive-black/9226875.p?skuId=9226875
  3. The first flash drive is an 8gb lexar. USB2. The new flash drive is a 16gb cruizer sandisk. Also usb2. The server has 3 usb 2 ports, 2 on the back, one inside the case directly to the mobo. I've tried all 3 ports. I've tried both old and brand new out of the package flash drives. I added in a 2port usb3 card via pciE. Tried both those ports on both drives. Moreover, the system was running for months on end without errors... The brand new flash drive, with brand new unraid from the unraid creation tool gives the exact same error. Ive attempted to rule out ports in various was as described above, as well as loading live linux and installing windows 10. At work for the next few hours, but I will gladly take pics of both drives, including any other info that may be helpful.
  4. I remember this being an issue at one point... googled and found this https://help.nextcloud.com/t/why-doesnt-android-client-upload-existing-pictures/10365/25 Are you on an older phone/app version? This is fixable, and to my knowledge was fixed. Top right of the screen normally, 3 little dots, 'select all photos'
  5. After 5 minutes or so bond0 fatal error. private ip address. unraid not accessible over a network (which is the way its intended to be used) so im not sure how my title is misleading. If this was a remote scenario in a commercial space, or data center, this would be called 'a non booting system'. EDIT: (These 2 pics were taken after removing the aforementioned drive. ) (TOSHIBA HDWE160, X743KCAJF56D) As well as on the new flash drive (as seen by asking for a Tower login, instead of Rebnet)
  6. So how come bios, windows, and linux live disks all see them? ... regardless why would a disk failure cause unraid to not boot and cause errors that halt the rest of the boot process? bond0 missing. this is network, has nothing to due with a missing or failed array drive. cannot mount usb/lib/modules/unraidxxxx unraid label missing whatever this even means private IP address, again, network related, how does a drive interfere?
  7. So it's basically a week later. I've received virtually no help for what is seemingly and obviously an unraid problem. The hardware works for windows, other linux's, and all my drives are seen in the bios. I've tried all 3 usb ports on this board. I added in a usb3 pcie card, and tried from that, same results. I have tried a new flash drive. I removed all array and cache drives, and still it wont boot unraid properly. No one has addressed the actual errors in my log file. A whopping 2 community members have attempted to come in and offer help, but not for the issues i'm actually having... I will say, something good came out of wasting 129$ on a basically niche product. I've learned linux, to a fair extent. So much so that I've realized unraid is basically a fancy web-front end linux kernel with ease-of-use as the number 1 selling point. If anyone wants to actually attempt to help, my email will alert me, but other than that it's time to say goodbye. I wish this wasn't the case, because unraid is so simple and beautiful, but im being forced by lack of support. The part that really made me turn away is simply looking at the support forum. There is 10's if not hundreds of other users with very similar, if not the same issue. 6.6.7 has webui crashes, hardlocks, drives disappearing, and surprise surprise, ZERO responses on their threads. I guess I should feel lucky, at least other community members had the heart to respond, but tough luck for everyone else, right? At least unraid isn't apple. XFS is pretty common, and all of my data is back and on the network currently just using a live distro with plex baked into it. I do lose out on a few things, at least until I figure out how to recreate them, such as a second array for caching to my main. But it just goes to show its NOT hardware related, and it IS an unraid only bug at the moment.
  8. Both 4TB's are gone. And I know of an issue with at least one of my fans. I will do a bios update after lunch. But a bios update is normally for stability. And or compatibility, security...ect. Unraid it self is not booting. Its throwing errors left and right, the usb wont mount, it complains about a missing label, and bond0 has 'fatal errors'. Booting live linux, and testing w10 (both using that same usb port, to at least rule that out) shows all hardware working normal. Short of memory/cpu, theres not much that should make unraid not boot. These are issues, I agree, and thank you for pointing them out, but the main problem of the unraid OS it self not booting, is still the priority here. At this point I can disconnect the entire array, and cache drives... UNRAID STILL WONT BOOT..... This thread talks of ways to view the array in windows. I've done this at least once before, but I believe it was for butterfs, not xfs. Either way. Tools do exist.
  9. Nvme temps are normal to hit 50-70 under load, and they have an internal controller from what I understand that will throttle performance. Array drives from what i've seen are 30-40, average in around the middle... for spinners this should be well within range too. 😕 Bios sees all the drives, looking for a windows app that can read xfs or w/e the default unraid scheme is, as long as I can get to the data, im not really too worried. It's all replaceable sure, but time is money... ya know? I will check, but I do think i've got the newest bios. Either way thats something I can check, so thanks for that! https://www.toshiba-storage.com/products/toshiba-internal-hard-drives-x300/?pdf 5-60c for x300 spinners so if those letters match my spinners, then it's something I will address, but i've not noticed it before on array drives, only NVME. Edit: Checked the logs under smart, one at 58, one at 60, one at 65... Im pretty sure those 3 are in the same row, and I know of a fan failure for that row... something I can address. Useful yes, but again, its unraid that isn't booting. Hard Drive health comes down the line. And at this point, I need to start thinking of parity drives, and larger spinners. Im running out of sata/sas ports
  10. 3/12 Update: Got an email from limetech, got a new flash drive. First try formatted, called unraid, copied over stuff, tried to boot. Several errors still (log did not write though.. not sure why) including "unraid label not found" and bond0 missing. Copied prokey to my desktop, and now im using the unraid usb creation tool, and making a fresh new copy. Will edit this post with any updates, and or logs. :Noon update. No changes... Still no boot.. still private ip... still bond0 errors... still unraid label missing.... da heck is going on here?! As a bit of a last straw, gonna bring the server back down to the basement, plug everything in like normal, and pray to the computer gods. This time with a fresh unraid... to see if it helps.. No hardware failures that I can tell, using the same usb slot I can load other os's (live linux), I did a quick test install on a spare ssd with windows... all seems to work including 4 network ports and 1 mobo network for remote bios thingie some asrock rack server control panel thing. Windows also sees both cpu's and all 64 gigs, cinebench no problem... temps are fine... Im really losing my mind here.
  11. Update: Waiting on email from limetech. In the meantime I completly tore down the system, repasted heatsink/fans, used 2 cans of air, did some cable management, and found a possible IRQ error relating to having 5x pciE x4 nvme adapters, so as I mentioned above, i've dropped this back to 3 adapters. Should be more than enough for what i'm doing. I later popped the USB into windows, verified for a second time the label is indeed UNRAID, and also checked it for errors. It said it found some, clicked the fix button and it all seems to be okay? At least as far as windows is concerned. Obviously I still have my doubts. Will report back if anything updates.
  12. So, at this point i've gotten unraid to boot into guimode, no ip address, bond0 fatal errors, and can't mount some usb lib/module folder or something. I think this flash-drive might be toast. Going to email limetech, link to this forum and see if there's something else i'm missing and or if the USB may be the problem. At this point i'm okay with redoing all my dockers, and since im changing cache around anyway, it would probably need to happen. I just don't want to lose the array, and I don't think that I will. -Grabbed latest diagnostic package too rebnet-diagnostics-20190310-1248.zip Can I delete super.dat to force a hardware config reset? or is there a better way? If/when it shows up on the network, the webui becomes unresponsive... (which is why I tried guimode) Not sure what to do here 😕 Side note: but kind of related... any good flash drive brands/amazon links you recommend? I know 24/7 use is asking alot of a flash drive, so what are some of the other unraid users using? EDIT: Cannot find device "bond0" cat: write error: broken pipe modprobe: FATAL: Module bonding not found in directory /lib/modules/4.18.20-unRAID I took some pics on my phone, will edit and upload links. -pic1 http://prntscr.com/mw44es -pic2 http://prntscr.com/mw44jj -pic3 http://prntscr.com/mw44n2 If I let it sit long enough, it sometimes asks for a login, but the ipv4 address is private (169.254.105.189) At least once, it grabbed my normal ip from the switch/router I guess, but the webui was completely unresponsive
  13. If you have plexpass you can enable cloud photos, which will copy photos from your phone to your plex server. https://support.plex.tv/articles/202130466-camera-upload-overview/ If not +1 for nextcloud. wonderful app. Quite easy to use, and a clean looking interface, similar to drop-box
  14. Hey all. Been running unraid for like 1-2 years now.. anyway got some issues. Ill go thru the last few things before this happened... may be helpful 😕 1) 4tb drive started clicking, removed all files using unbalance plugin, verified all was moved, removed drive, new cfg, good to go. (a week goes by) 2) decided hey, i've got some extra nvme's laying around, lets increase my already large cache array from 768gb to 1tb 3) 3 hours later running to unraid forums for help.... I had some issues with my board booting, not related to unraid at all, its picky... figured those out Then it would finally post, 5nvmes via pciE x4, and my 12 or so array drives but it just 'gets stuck' as loading service daemon syslogd which is like... RIGHT before unraid asks for a consol login (which I never use) Did a quick forum search, found it may be my USB, so stuck it into windows, and it popped up without asking for check disk or saying it had errors... At this point, im not sure what to do... Within the last 12 months, i've already replaced a flash drive, so AFAIK I can't get another one until the 12 month mark? (5/18 if memory serves) Not sure if I was running 6.6.6 or 6.6.7... last few weeks have been a blur at work As of right now, i've got whatever diagnostics were on the flash drive, logs should be included in those... i hope! Please halp! System: dual xeon 2670's v2's on ASRock - EP2C602-4L/D16 64gb ecc registered 1600mhz @ like cl13 or something like 9 or so 6x tb toshiba x300's 2x samsung 970 250s evo's via pcie x4 3x samsung 970 500s evo's via pcie x4 Based on unraid/logs 'date modified' file, i've uploaded the latest diagnostics .zip that i've got. pic of usb (dunno if it helps) http://prntscr.com/mvkg3f rebnet-diagnostics-20190213-0218.zip
  15. Is there a way to weigh the results from jackett? For example.. I've got a private tracker, I would want that preferred over a public tracker.. Private-ShownameEp1 - 10 seeders - weight 10+1(1 being my preferred number) vs Public-ShownameEp1 - 2 seeders - weight 2+0 Does this make sense or am I just asking in a profoundly stupid way?😕 I know theres already ways to prefer those with a minimum limit of seeders, but what about prioritizing results from A(priv) vs B(pub) ?
  16. Best advice I can give is use pcpartpicker.com and check prices from multiple vendors, and dont bother with memory frequency. Theres no visible difference to the average user when comparing ddr3 @ 1333 or ddr3 @ 2400. Same goes for ddr4. (ddr4 pushes the boundaries a bit, as its stock speed is 2133, and were already at last I checked 4500mhz) Quantity > quality > frequency. GBs > good brand > speed it runs at. 16gb of ddr3 is about 100$ right now, so depending on the amount you need, you can roughly calculate it.
  17. Has dremel, will travel! 4770k is a strong cpu, high IPC good for transcoding. I dont think the 570 is supported.. could be wrong.. will check. (ill edit in later if I find an answer, but I remember it being limited to 6xx series and higher) https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-decode-gpu-support-matrix Click down at the bottom "Titan/Geforce" you will see its 600 series and higher. Sorry mate! Even if it is, 265 probably wont work, and your limited to 1 transcode (via nvidia, they have mentioned they dont want people doing exactly what were trying to do)
  18. Defiantly not. Most of us use "raid" cards, simply because we can flash initiator target mode (IT mode) and use them as a 8port HBA. They also offer good speed, and batteries for those who do use the integrated raid part (IR mode). If you wanted to use a 20$ amazon vantec '4x sata port card' thats perfectly acceptable too, (In most cases). There is talk of the cheaper cards being.. well. cheap - Sometimes out right dying, other times drives 'go missing' causing panic, when ultimately its just a cheap controller. Also, most motherboards have between 4 and 12 sata slots... and some of us use 24 port and more expanders. IIRC, unraid handles about 24-26 drives. If you need more then that, you raid togather a few of them, and inside of unraid instead of seeing 4x4tb drives, it will show 1 drive at 16TB. Just another way of doing things, thats all.
  19. Assuming this issue is similar to the dell 400 cards (no jbod, but you can make single raid0's) you shouldent have too much trouble. IIRC, the h400 didnt actually make a raid partition, just a virtual raid0 partition (which isnt written to the drive it self) Think its called VHS? not sure. *googles* For example, I could take the drive out, put it in another system, and it just 'worked'. Granted.. windows couldn't read it due to being BFS or ZFS, not fat32/ntfs/nfs... Even if it is passed, you may not like the results.. such as the data strip size, cluster, ect.. Also, with the h400, I would get full performance of the drive in fake jbod mode, but under linux, i saw a noticeable difference. Once I formatted it normally, all was well again. Which now leads me to believe, it does write 'something' to the drive, maybe a mal-aligned mbr? Not sure. *googles again* Best of luck! Will follow for updates, hope you get some time this weekend to try
  20. Hands down CPU. i9 7960x, or threadripper v2. (or v1) https://forums.plex.tv/t/transcoding-4k-requirements/136994 Realistically, your gonna spend between 1-2 grand for a 4k viable system. Be it in cpu, or gpu. Cpu can be recycled and reused.. gpu's have a quicker death and are less likely to be reused Other things to note, are the container (.avi, .mkv, ect..) and the codecs used to convert (h264, x264, hevc x265, ect..) Also, you cant pass-through a GPU to a docker, so GPU's are out of the question. Also given the pricetag of the m5000 (capable 4k gpu) you mid as well get a baller CPU. M5000 isnt even the most expensive option... some cad/rendering cards are upwords of 10 grand. In short, x264 is bigger, but easier to convert. x265 is smaller, but harder to convert. HEVC is amazing, if you can support it, but you need a pretty beefy cpu to even play, let alone transcode. Finally, if you choose to go with HEVC for example, not all clients support this, and it will have to be transcoded again to the end user.
  21. This is an amazing project! AND it looks good too! I had a similar idea using adruino using HID emulation, but eventually gave up on the idea. In hindsight, WOL is far superior for this. Amazing idea +1 to releasing the files. Will follow for updates
  22. Not 'as cheap' as shucked drives, but ive been using Toshiba x300's. I've got 7 of them now, 6TB in size 7200RPM, 128mb cache. In windows it shows as 32.7TB (single parity at the moment) and im getting upwords of 200mbps per drive. Last I checked they were 160$ a piece new. http://prntscr.com/kt8gtu
  23. WHY EMBY?! ❤️ Plex hah. Hardware wise, unless your transcoding (which it seems like you might be) your main concern is quality power delivery, and reliable sas/sata controllers. ddr3 based servers are finally starting to come down in price, see ebay, amazon, server-store, server-monkey, craigslist.. ect. IMO, the Xeon 2670 is the best for the price. 8c16thread /w 20mb of cache. 130$ new, or 50-75 used on ebay/amazon. Its socket 2011, with ddr3 or 4 support depending on the mobo. (I would go ddr3.. cheaper.. reliable. ddr4 isnt that much faster in frequency, or bandwidth, and for the price.. its not worth it (in my opinion) A decent dual xeon chassis with no drives, can run as low as 200$ in some cases (usually without ram). I just built a socket 2011 with 'new' parts, for about a grand. dual 2670's, 64gb ecc/registered/buffered. 16c32t @ 3.3ghz. For the price? Its almost on par with a threadripper from AMD. IPC is 'slightly' lower, but overall, price to performance, what I built works for me. To put that further into prospective, my entire full build was 1150$ with tax, and odds and ends that were needed. Threadripper v1 alone is 800$, and a board is about 300. That still doesnt include ram, psu, gpu, drives, case, ect...which are included in my purchase. (edit for pcpartpicker list) https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Z2bdMZ https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0056OUTBK/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1 <- the case im using 2670 is 2.6ghz /w 3.3ghz turboboost. Just to clarify, and I plan on running these full tilt 24/7. Worst case scenario, i've got some AIO's laying around, and I may just watercool my server.. because I can. Also, the 3x 5 1/4 bays has been converted to a 4x 3.5 hotswap bay. They sell it that way, I choose to do it on my own with spare parts. I havent used emby in a while, does it have a similar feature to plex where you can 'optimize' media? If so, that would take alot of the transcoding work out of the equation, and your server wouldn't have to work as hard to stream the media.
  24. Side note.. Understandably its a rental, so no holes.. but what about opening up an outlet, and dropping a line straight down to the laundry room? 50feet of shielded CMR should be fairly cheap(20¢ a foot last I checked), (go with cat6/cat6a if you can afford it) and it should drop straight down to an adjacent outlet? Not everyone has crimping tools.. but you could get the female style and use a punch down tool (aka, flathead screw driver) and then make a 'proper looking' connection, without drilling holes and voiding rental agreements. Worst comes to worst, just remove it before leaving the building?
  25. Oldie, but goodie...Though a bit of a hog when it comes to consumption of power. Any chance you have other 'junk' laying around? Maybe a few linksys routers? bef/sr models? They can be flashed with DDWRT or Tomato firmware, and you then can make your own wireless bridge. Granted, it would be G band, not N/AC, but getting up and running (in my opinion) would be first priority.
