Hey there, I'm having issues getting the WireGuard figured out as well. I have Unraid Server 1 (192.168.33.x) and Unraid Server 2 (192.168.1.x) and two different locations. I want to map a share from Server 2 on Server 1 so that I can run remote backups (back up Server 1 files TO a share on Server 2). I have WireGuard configured per the screenshot below AND the connection is good - handshake transmits data, if I hit the ping button I get a reply. So now what? If I try to map a share using Unassigned devices it can't find anything even when specifying the IP. Is there something else I'm supposed to do?

Thanks, @Ford Prefect. From Server 1's terminal I am able to ping the IP wireguard set up for Server 2, but that seems to be all I can do with it. When I try to mount a network share with my unassigned devices plugin it doesn't see the drives on the other end. I'll check out that other forum page.

Thanks @Ford Prefect! I didn't have any luck with the OpenVPN-client plugin - keep getting errors and then I read on the forum it might be OBE since wireguard is built-in now. Taking your advice. So I got wireguard working, I think...It does a handshake and according to the status page data is being exchanged, but I can't see Server 2 from Server 1. Tried adding a share by server name or the wireguard local IP and no luck. I currently have it set to Remote Tunneled. Or do I want LAN-to-LAN? I really want to see Server 2 from my local network at home, too.

My primary Unraid server ('Unraid Server 1') is happy here at home. I have reverse proxy with delugevpn, swag, dynamic dns, OpenVPN-as server, nextcloud, bidwarden, etc. and everything works as SpaceInvadorOne taught me in the videos. When I'm remote I can open up my laptop and run OpenVPN and connect to my home network from anywhere and my mapped shares on 'Unraid Server 1' connect just fine just like if I was sitting at home. Super cool!! I recently upgraded the drives in 'Unraid Server 1' and thought it would be neat to slap the old drives in a spare rig and now I have 'Unraid Server 2'. My father lives about an hour away, has a fast FiOS pipe, and graciously offered to let me set up Server 2 there so I can use as a remote backup server of my critical non-media files. All of the VPN forum posts, youtube videos, etc. that I can find show setting up Unraid as a server (like how I have 'Unraid Server 1' configured). BUT, I want 'Unraid Server 2' to be plugged in my Dad's home network and visible like it's on my home network. I DO NOT want to see his stuff on my home network. I'd prefer not to mess with his router. How can I set up 'Unraid Server 2' as a VPN Client where it'll just seamlessly phone home to my Server 1? Ideally, I want to be able to map a share located on Server 2 (remote) that Server 1 (and any of my local network PCs) will see and I can send regular backups to of my critical documents, etc. using Duplicati or something similar.

I really like the new Netdata cloud feature, I sign in, claimed my node and ran the script they provide for dockers. I get an automatic update and now that claimed node is unreachable and I have to go through the process, over, and over, and over. How can I configure Netdata so it's name persists so I can get updates but also keep it sync'd with their cloud?

So I originally had two 120GB SSD and one 500GB M2 in a pool. I followed procedure above and replaced one of the 120s with a new 500GB SSD I was given. So that made my new cache the 500GB M2, the 120GB SSD, and the new 500GB SSD. When I started the array Unraid (6.8.3) reported the remaining 120GB was now unmountable. I went ahead and stopped the array, changed the 120GB SSD's slot to None (removing it from the pool since it wasn't mountable anyway), and then started the array. Things are happy now with just my two 500GBs. All of my dockers are back, etc. So I thought that you could upgrade any single device with a bigger one, but the system seemed to not like having that 3rd significantly smaller SSD, despite it being part of the original pool. I'm glad everything is working again, but I'm curious why this all happened/what went wrong. Any insights?

Hi folks, I followed the steps on this post: I stopped the array, selected the new 500 SSD to replace one of my old 120s, started the array. The stop button greyed out, I waited a while while it rebuilt, and then the stop button became selectable again when it was done. So that it calculated the new size I stopped and started the array again. Now that I've done that my Cache pool says it's unmountable. Doesn't make sense they were all btrfs. How do I fix this? I followed the steps. I need all my data (plex library, etc.) Thanks!

Every single day when I check for updates, NetData comes up as having an update. Sometimes 2x a day. Are updates really being published for this app this frequently? The last post on this forum was early June...so I'm wondering if I've just been updating over itself over and over this whole time???

My Plex is still 1.16.0.1226 as of today and no update appears to be available. My DVR functionality and Live TV is non-functional. 1.16.3.1402 is now released. When is the next version from Limetech being released and what version will it be?

Hi folks, I have a rather unique use case that I could use some suggestions on how I could better leverage my unraid server. I have a baby grand piano with a PianoDisc player system installed; it's connected to a fanless celeron PC with Windows10 and runs iTunes that is mounted under the piano and running all the time (only uses 8-10 watts). Connected to my LAN via wifi. All of the player system music is encoded from CDs and were copied to that PC's SSD and played on an exclusive iTunes library on that PC using the "Remote" app from my iPhone. Keep in mind these are proprietary songs that while encoded in iTunes, they only work when played through the player system (they sound like a dial up modem if played through conventional speakers). These songs need to always be kept separate from the rest of my media library. Currently my Unraid server just acts as a backup fileserver for this PC (windows backup). The remote app functions from Apple and this iTunes library work exceptionally well. Unraid is doing a great job keeping all of that media backed up (among other things). It's about 6GB of music (~500 songs or so). With Apple announcing that iTunes is getting deprecated, I need to find a new solution. Here are the requirements: Remotely (from my phone) be able to play from curated playlists to a device connected via the 3.5mm jack in the player piano. The music files can be hosted anywhere I suppose but I prefer having a direct connection not susceptible to interference as the piano is a diva. So I'd prefer the music be primary sourced on that fanless PC itself, but I'm willing to experiment with sourcing from the unraid server itself. The issue is that I want playlists, I want to be able to play the lists or any select song on-the-fly, control from my phone, and the only input the piano has is a 3.5mm stereo jack. Are there any other media server dockers, for example, that could accomplish this and I send the sound out to that PC connected to the piano? Or, for example, instead of the fanless PC running can unraid wirelessly transmit songs to some sort of device like an Alexa that would play it? I just wouldn't want that Alexa or Google device to be visible with my other speaker zones. Thanks for your advice.

To close the loop, after running 6.5.3 until today I tried upgrading to 6.6.3 and everything appears to work as normal. Whatever the issue was must have been addressed in 6.6.2/3.

After upgrading my 6.5.3 server to 6.6.1 today, my RAM usage (which used to hover around 25-35%) was now hovering 70-90% all day even after rebooting and CPUs were running close to full utilization even with my dockers off. In my log it was constantly logging the same thing over and over just with a different ID each time. acpid: client connected from xxxxx[0:0] acpid: 1 client rule loaded acpid: client xxxxx[0:0] has disconnected acpid: client connected from xxxxx[0:0] acpid: 1 client rule loaded acpid: client xxxxx[0:0] has disconnected acpid: client connected from xxxxx[0:0] acpid: 1 client rule loaded acpid: client xxxxx[0:0] has disconnected and on, and on, and on... I tried turning off my dockers. Any hint what this could be about? I went ahead and reverted back but it would be nice to know where to possibly look when I try the upgrade again. Back on 6.5.3 everything is happy again and no weird stuff going on in my log.

Hey, I'm running 6.3.5 installed your plugin from the app mart. Not seeing it listed on my plugins page. Nor when I go to Settings/IPMI is anything loading. Help!

Thanks. So with that plugin I learned one still has to click the mount button after connecting the network drive; it seems so intuitive now! Being a n00b to unRaid, I still wasn't understanding how config paths worked. In my case, I learned that after adding the network drive via the plugin, mounting the drive, then editing Duplicati config and added the following path: Name: BackupNAS Container Path: /foldername - What it's going to show up listed as in the folder list within the container Hostpath: /mnt/disks/NAS_Backup - what the network drive is named/mounted in the plugin I also configured Access Mode as slave/RW per thread referenced above Works like a charm. Thanks!

Thanks, the plugin worked and I'm able to map to my alternative NAS (/mnt/disks/SERVERNAME_FOLDER. However, none of my other dockers nor the Backup utility in Settings are able to see it. So I don't know what good this has done. I just want my unRAID server to see that other NAS as an available destination to save to.

Hi Folks, I'm new to UnRaid, not a Linux SysAdmin, and was attracted to this product because it seemed like a point/click kinda thing and so far I've been updating my plugins and every few months I check my array consistency and all reports happy. I'm on 6.3.5. So now I want to upgrade to the new 6.4.x soon, but before I do so, I thought it would be a good idea to backup my backup. Sure, it's RAID, but I'd feel better if the system backed up the data to an external network share on another server just in case. I don't want to pay for cloud storage and if my house burns down I'll have bigger problems. So here is my very basic problem that I couldn't find help for on the forum when searching for "map network drive" or "map drive" I have HDD attached to my router at //Servername/share and I want to "map" that drive on my UnRaid server so it'll show up as a "local" resource. The backup apps I've downloaded to my UnRaid seem to only support talking to network drives this way. The problem is that I don't see any buttons anywhere to help me accomplish this. Can someone please teach me how to map to a network share drive from another server? Are there any downsides to doing this? My server is basic and I've already reached my drive max per the license; I'm assuming that mapping to a network share wouldn't count as another drive since it's not actually physically connected, right?
