I don'[t wan't to run as a VM. I will still have my router looped in somewhere. Just researching the different boxes. I've seen the Netgate ones. A little more money but from what I understand they are a pretty good product. Thanks for the input guys. Much appreciated.

Hi, Specs: Cpu Ryzen 1700 (8 Core) Board X370 Killer SLI 32g Ram Not going to run it in a VM. That's why I want to buy a good external Pfsense box. Thanks

Hi, Anybody own one of these boxes? I'm thinking of adding one of these boxes to the Unraid server. Read some good reviews, but then I read they run hot. 4K Support Fanless Mini PC Mikrotik Pfsense I have been thinking of adding more security to the server. I thought it was a good time to try this now because I have been having issues with my custom docker ips and my Asus RT AC5300, Merlin Firmware won't keep some of custom docker ips online anymore. The router is up to date and nothing else is dropping off the network. It could be an issue with the router, or a combination of docker ips and router, maybe network card. If I separate it with a Pfsense box I should be able to narrow it down and have more security. Just trying to find the right Pfsense box with enough Lan ports so I can remove my switcher box. Need a minimum of 6 ports.

Hi Everybody, I used HBS 3 Hybrid Backup & Sync between my Qnap and Unraid. I thought it was a very nice app and worked well. Is there anything similar to that I could install directly on Unraid? I know about Krusader, good app but speeds were much slower and kind of busy dashboard. Thanks

Hi, Looking to upgrade to a Ryzen 24 core cpu and maybe a 32 core in the future. Current board is a (Asrock x370 Killer SLI) Motherboard Requirements 2 Dual lan 8 Sata ports Runs fairly cool 128 ram - Only because I want to run a VM with gaming, plex and additional software. Current ram I have is Crucial 32 gig ddr4 2133 mt/s (PC4 - 17000) Haven't really thought about a budget. Obviously I'm going to have to pay to get this type of board. Based in Canada. Anybody have any recommendations? Thanks

Did an Upgrade from r4 to r7, doesn't seem to be any issues. Did fix a few small VM issues. Going to let it slide for now unless something shows up. It looks like the flash drive was dying. Seems to upgrade now and the light goes out when not in use. So far so good. The team seems to be making some good progress on this version of Unraid. 👍👍 Thank you.

Hi, Have the Pro Version of Unraid. It seem like my flash drive was starting to fail, updates seem to be an issue, so I replaced it with a backup from the old stick. Running 6.8.0r4. Everything went smooth, used the tool to create the new stick. After I did and it booted up, it told me I had too many devices which is 7. (5 10TB Drives, I unassigned device and the USB) As far as I'm aware the Pro version has unlimited devices. Why would I receive that message? The server did register the new key as pro. Everything seems to work. The email instructions are slightly different then the Wiki page for Unraid 6. Email said something about dragging the file. I just copied the URL in and clicked register.

With the number of drives you have, do you spin them down when not in use? I never have, my thought it is more wear an tear on starting them backup. Even my desktops I never shut them down, might put them into sleep mode.

That's a very good point!!! Didn't think about that. I shut my Qnap down after backups because I don't use it for anything anyway. I will just have to remember to disconnect when finished with the backups. Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it.

Not going to attach those drives to the raid. Going to add them as unassigned devices.

Hi Johnnie, Let's just say these 4 10TB drives are full and the data is important. As of right now would this one parity drive be ok? I do backup most of this data on a small Qnap and additional desktop drives. At some point I'm going to move the backup drives to the Unraid server, I want to consolidate everything into one for better transfer speeds and save on power. I use a Thermaltake case which can house 20 drives.

Hi everybody, I have (4 - 10 TB) drives and (1 - 10 TB ) parity drive. I'm just curious, at what point or number of drives should I consider having a second parity drive? I know I'm a ways off from worrying about that just yet. Is there a general rule?

Thanks for the input John. Appreciate it.

Hi, I need to add more drives and my sata ports are used up. I would like a 6 port expansion card with raid support. Does anyone have any recommendations? I have a Asrock x370 killer sli board. Thanks

thanks, I have pro license.

Hi, I have a Qnap I'm thinking on selling. I just use it as an additional back for media stuff. If I sell it I would like to move those drives to my Unraid server without tying them into the current raid, and continue on using them as additional backups. Is this possible? I have a thermaltake wp100 case so I do have the space. I maybe updating motherboard to something else because I'm going to a bigger CPU. I normally turn the Qnap on every few weeks and sync files from Unraid to Qnap using Hybrid 3 which is a nice software. I wish it was on Unraid. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Current motherboard is a ASRock - X370 Killer SLI Thanks

Is it possible to connect Wireguard just to Custom Bro, or does the whole server have to use WireGuard?

You are right, from the looks of it you have to use their NordLynx. I think at some point they may change this. I just thought it was interesting that they implemented additional security measures so it's usable to some Linux clients that want to try it. As of now WireGuard will still have some security issues, which is understandable because it is still in development. Good to see a company like Nordvpn jump on board. It means the future looks bright for WireGuard. Sorry, maybe a wasted post for this forum. I use Nordvpn myself so I just thought I would post the info.

Hi guys, Nordvpn was not mentioned up top. From what I'm seeing they are actively involved with WireGuard. Not sure if they are totally done testing. From what they have developed to enable use with WireGuard I would personally trust them first. That's just my opinion. In all honesty not sure if any of this new development with WireGuard can be fully trusted right now. It does need people testing it to find out. https://nordvpn.com/blog/nordlynx-protocol-wireguard/

Thank you!

Just curious. Thanks for the feedback.

Hi Everybody, Would like to take 6.8.0-rc4 for a spin and have a look at it. I think in general it's come far enough I should be ok for the most part. The only thing I'm really concerned about is Plex. I have backups, but have a number that use it. Has anyone had any issues with Plex after installing the update or issues with this hardware? I have a Ryzen 1700x cpu and a Asrock X370 SLI board. Thanks

Hi, Currently running a Asus RT-AC5300 and I want to switch over to a Pfsense box for a router. Needs to have Wifi. Any recommendations? Thanks

Hi, There's a number of notifiers in Tautulli to setup for Plex. What have some you been using? I set Pushover up, but it seems glitchy on my friend's LG phone. No sound comes through. Did double check sound on his phone. Works great on my OnePlus plone. Thanks

Hi Guys, Sorry if this is not posted in the right section. It's not a docker issues. My Plex is adding Tv shows ok, won't add movies, won't allow any manual changes to covers etc. Says "changes cannot be saved". I can't delete folders. I am pretty sure it's a permissions issue. It has ran really good for a long time without issue. I put the id command in the terminal and it comes back as uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk),10(wheel),17(audio),281(docker). I read it should be attached to a user, not sure. I ran the docker permissions tool, obviously it is not going to help with this. How do I go about correcting the permissions. I tried removing the docker and putting it back. I'm using the Plex Official Docker. I put the latest update in a number of days ago. I don't want to blame that, may not have been the cause. Could have been something I did. My current PLEX_UID 99, PLEX_GID 100. Thanks
