[Dual IP NIC setup in Unraid?]

I have 2 NIC on the MB for Unraid and I have 4 NIC's on the Pfsense VM would that be enough?

Update my Unifi supports 2 x ISP on the USG3 - But I really like all the options I have to do VPN and Alias rules, pfBlockerNG and so much more in PFsense!

(Also looking into having a 2x10G card for the Pfsense when my ISP upgrade their infrastructure, cheapest 10G router you can have :-) 

 

I think I will use the Pfsense with ISP2 only and keep ISP1 for my Unifi and Home

Now I just need to find a way to separate traffic from Dockers in Pfsense by Port traffic? and not IP's.... That should be possible?

Docker networks don't support networks with more than one gateway.

They also don't support having more than one docker network with the same subnet / gateway

 

What you really should have here is a router (even a linux VM) that will do src based policy routing against the two wans so ip group 1 uses ISP1 and other IPs use ISP2 but they all point to the router.

Yes only one gateway for the Unraid server (I can manually change it if one of my ISP's goes down.... 

 

Thats fine the Unraid server can have the same gateway to ISP2 (Pfsense VM on Unraid server)

I have created Firewall Aliases that will route selected Host IP traffic through the ISP2

 

I just need to use the two NIC's on the server for two different IP's that I can select on each Docker?

I can see that in the Docker settings I have this:

But I cant get one docker to use 192.168.0.6 and another to use 192.168.0.7 (Same gateway)

 

Is this also not possible?

Does anyone know if there is a Video tutorial for OpenVPN and PIA in Pfsense?

The introduction video talked about installing Openvpn on pfsense but I cant find the video?

Thanks! 🙂

 

[Dual IP NIC setup in Unraid?]

Hi All

 

I am trying to setup to separate IP's with different ISP's/Gateways (NIC's) that I can select for my dockers?

eth0
IP: 192.168.0.6/24
Gateway ISP1: 102.168.0.1/24 (Unifi USG3 router)

eth1
IP: 192.168.0.7/24
Gateway ISP2: 192.168.0.18 (Pfsense VM running on Unraid)

 

But after separating them I got into a lot of trouble with my Dockers which sofar have used ISP1 and kept pointing to 192.168.0.6?

Is this possible using the Unraid UI for LAN settings?

 

Current IP configuration:

 

I tried splitting them by disabling bonding and removing eth1 and then adding static IP's to each of the NIC's with different gateways?

That really messed things up, and I had to restore my "network.cfg" on my flash drive from a backup to get things working again

 

Is it the routing tables I need to define?

 

It would also be great to have a secondary gateway definition in case the primary ISP went down? - But that is not a priority

Right now I would just like to get my new ISP setup for UNRAID dockers

 

Thanks

Works for me.

I just changed it to a value below 1mio and then it worked! :-)

[Tips and Tweaks Plugin to possibly improve performance of Unraid and VMs]

Hi

 

Great plugin!

 

I just tried to change the value:

 

But when I look at the right side its not changed in the tweak plugin

And running the command:

cat /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches

Shows that its still set to: 524288?

Hi All

 

I have installed it 3 times and it stoppes around 80% been running for two days now and it just crashed Emby

Hangs here:  "Calculating movie statistics"

Is there any files or changes that I have to make? I saw some forum post about a fix, but I guess that would be in the docker by now right?

[Unraid tweaks for Media server performance?]

Found a new useful powerful setting if you have a very large Plex/Media Library....

Install the Tweaks plugin and increase the: fs.inotify.max_user_watches

You can read more about the problem here: LINK

 

BTW: I would really like to hear from more power users about their tweaks and settings, please share if you have some tweaks or performance improvements

I think I found the solution but have no Idea on how to implement it in a docker/Unraid?

Hmm increasing this in the Tweaks plugin? would that help Plex?

Hi All

 

I have a solid system for a very long time but after encoding to RAM I am getting some problems once in a while some TV shows doesn't play and then later they play fine? 

 

Error log:

[Transcoder] [eac3_eae @ 0x15422c0] EAE timeout! EAE not running, or wrong folder? Could not read '/tmp/pms-018fb146-d1c7-4f41-84cb-cae419d0ca06/EasyAudioEncoder/Convert to WAV (to 8ch or less)/e12d43b76d37f1d2-com-plexapp-android_7893-0-0.wav'

I found this post?

 

Anyone have a solution to this? (Just upgraded to 64GB RAM to use RAM for encoding)

 

And only for TV never movies? so the tmp folder si working....

If it still will not move then check that there is not already a copy on the cache drive.    Mover will not do anything if the file already exists on the target.

Yes its on both? - which one should I delete

Update I deleted the oldest file not updated on drive 7

Your system share has some files on the disk7. Maybe libvirt instead of docker image though. You might just check the contents of disk7 to make sure your docker image is on cache now.

 

 

Yes I can see that this is the libvirt

I have disabled VM and I am running mover now, shouldn't that move the file to cache? (I have system prefer cache setting)

[Unifi + Pfsense + 2 x ISP's = 2 Networks?]

I think I will end up doing another default gateway on the same subnet...

 

192.168.0.1 --> ISP1

192.168.0.8 --> ISP2

 

That way I can manage everything on the same network and I can point Unraid to one ISP and the rest to the old one

Any problems doing it this way?

 

Would it be possible to have a secondary gateway if the first one goes down?

This is usually spelled "appdata". If you actually used "Apdata" then you may have created some problems.

No its ok "appdata" just a misspelling here....

[Strange Docker problems?]

Update:

This might not be related?

 

But all this started after upgrading to a new bigger M.2 cache drive, from a 1TB to a 2TB drive

Could this somehow be the problem? (I formatted it like the old one "btrfs encrypted")

Recreated the docker image and re-installed all the dockers!

Only the Apdata is copied back to the new cache drive

 

Below removed this had nothing to do with the error!

Focusing on testing Plex for my stability testing...

I just did a small test by copying the Plex Apdata folder to a UAD SSD and did a install with the same user "docker profile" but pointing to the SSD for Apdata

and then Plex started to work like it did before (Exactly the same files) now HW encoding for TV works it doesn't when running from the cache drive?

- This is so weird, it's like all logic is out the window..... Again this might not be related and just me grasping at some point of error origin 

 

I have so far removed the latest added plugins:

Custom Tab

Dynamix File Integrity

Dynamix Active Streams

I took a look at your system log and did see some messages that I shouldn't have.  Specifically I saw a kernel message relating to python:

I see you have a LOT of plugins installed.  Please try booting in safe mode, disable all plugins, and see if things go back to normal.

@jonp Yes I am "like many others" a Space invader fan 😊 - and moving from Synology I found many great plugin that helped me accomplish this

But you are right I need to remove the non essential plugins! - problem is that many are now "mandatory"

I guess if possible it would be better to move to dockers if I can find a similar application to replace the plugin

 

I am now running in safe mode and have attached a new Diag file - hope the error is gone now!

 

What to do next? - retracing and uninstalling every plugin, starting from the latest ones?

(If you tell me where to look for this python error I can search for it after each reboot?)

 

Again your help is much appreciated - hope we can find the source of this problem and kill it

 

@trurl I have all my drive numbers in Unraid assigned to the corresponding numbers of my servers HD cases (Make it much simpler to find a failing drive)

Drive one is a Un-Assigned Drive - so I dont spin up the array - was inspired by this post about seeding and ended up with this solution - another forum post ,(Drive 8 and 9 is temporary empty because I am slowly replacing all my 3TB drives with larger ones - So drive 8 and 9 was moved to a larger drive 6 and so on its slow but it works and it requires $ so it's a slow process 😉 )

It is unlikely to be the Nvidia plugin as all that does is control whether the Unraid OS files on the USB stick  that are the standard version should be replaced by the version that includes the Nvidia drivers.     This replacement will only happen at the time you load a new version via the Nvidia settings - it will not have any affect the rest of the time as once a version is loaded onto the USB stick it boots just like the standard Unraid.

 

As was mentioned it is likely that the USB stick going offline for some reason caused the problem and rebooting fixed this.   I guess there could be an inherent fault in the version of Unraid OS that the Nvidia plugin has installed, but this seems unlikely or more people would be having the same problem.

My USB was placed inside a rackmount server in the middle of the motherboard - Safe place but hard to get to

I did run several test and all was clean?

 

My hope is that the logs above will give a hint to what might caused this....

 

[Strange Docker problems?]

Update: Following the error leading to the Nvidia plugin which apparently also located on the USB?

I re-installed the plugin and rebooted the server, sofar it looks like everything is running again?

 

Could this cause the loss of User shares? (I didn't know that the Nvidia plugin was such a big deal of the Unraid server, if this is the case?)

 

[Strange Docker problems?]

How to run this manually? or see the log?

I currently have a very strange problem and it might be the USB?

 

I had the user shares disappear! - I did manage to get a Diagnostic before rebooting if anyone would take a look I would be really happy

Do a disk check on your USB stick.

Stick dropping offline / corrupt can cause weird problems.

You might be right... just got this new error

I think the Nvidia files is on the flash so that would make sense!

 

How to check in Unraid a check command from the command line?

This really scares the shit out of me......

 

How can the user path be gone?

 

 

Should I reboot the system?

Seems my User shares disappeared?

 

Starting and stopping the array didn't help....

 

Rebooting and hooping that will get my user shares back....

Hi All

 

After replacing my cache with a large drive I have had problems with my dockers

I then did a rebuild - deleted my old docker-file and downloaded and reinstalled all my Dockers

But afterwards I see strange behaviour Dockers that will not start but seem to be running (Green arrow)

Dockers that just stops? or Emby that was running perfect before just stops and give errors? (Didn't change anything)

 

 

Here is my Diagnostic files I hope someone can help me!

Your help is much appreciated this is so strange?

Hi All,

 

I had this working before but not on Unraid :-)

 

Could someone tell me how to read the log files from Plex in Tatulli?

I have set the path like this:

 

Path: /mnt/user/appdata/plex/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Logs/

 

And in Tautulli

 

So any input to what's missing is much welcome
