But for safety, stop docker, do a backup (appdata backup/restores, zfs snapshot, manual or whatever), then change it.

With a suitable backup in between yes.

I did the usual process - saved flash drive update restart nothing working checked and no shares there. Did a stop aqrray and start array - still no shares. Checked logs Rolled back and got diags as part of restore process.tower-diagnostics-20240110-0704.zip Roll back fixed the mising shares

All seems good and stable again - and the issue is indeed fixed and I can ping both ways. Clincher was I suspect allowing host access in docker setup as well as the rest in your post (that is ambiguous - as I wanted to allow VM access to host) I marked your post as the solution - I am sure others will stumble over this. Thanks for your help

I noticed I did not have host access turned on in my docker settings. That was for unraid to access docker containers I thought - and nothing to do with VM's accessing host - once I alsoe set that on, then the routing table matches yours. I have no ideas if the stability issues relate to this work or something else random. For now, I have shutdown all docker containers except emby and cloudflare tunnels, and shutdown the VM engine. Another parity check is running so I will leave that for a day, and then start bringing up the other stuff bit by bit.

I emded it powering it off and on, parity check, then about 30m later, the same thing starts happening. I will NOT birng up the VM Manager this time and see what that does ?

Maybe unrelated, but I have an unresposive GUI and ssh also does not want to work now. Was a pretty stable system before this. Everythng is working, dockers, shares etc, I can ping it, but browser just sits there and eventually throws a 500 Internal Server Error when I try to access console, and ssh sits there. I will give it today cos I am a bit fed up with it and will connect a monitor tomorrow for some diagnostics.

So, I did the reboot. routing table still the same however. I tried just adding it manually also - but it would not add (maybe array needs to be stopped for that. My settings are I believe the same as yours : I dont have dhcp on the below which should not matter (all my dockers are hardcoded with IP addresses) :

Fun and games on new years day with this. stopped vm's stopped the VM manager Changed 'default network source' to vhost0 apply and done. started VM Manager clicked on VMS tan - messge saying Libvirt Service failed to start. checked logs - logs state : Jan 1 10:20:45 Tower emhttpd: shcmd (4854631): /usr/local/sbin/mount_image '/mnt/cache/system/libvirt/libvirt.img' /etc/libvirt 1 Jan 1 10:20:45 Tower root: '/mnt/cache/system/libvirt/libvirt.img' is in-use, cannot mount As its the first of the month, I have a parity check running - so cant really restart unless I kill that chck (which I am leaning toards now).

Ah - Its 10:20 mPM here for me and I am not that wide awak - off to bed now. I compared all you said and it seems I have it all there same except the VM Manager settings Default Network source - mine is virbr0 - I assume therefore I stop VM, then change that to vhost0, then restart........ I will try that tomorrow and report back.

No worries - here is the info - but please - its New Years Eeve - you dont have to reply any time soon - I have been living with the issue for motnhs.

I got no bites in my posts re this issue so maybe it is by design, but if so, a bad design that breaks stuff. You put more detail into it so hopefully you get some bites. i would love to get the ups integration from ha working again and free up a power monitor.

I have 80+ lan devices and 1gbps transfers. I looked up specs for that. Have no spare money though for much anyway.

The zenarmor hardware specs are massive from what I just checked. Same throughout and devices on my lan would need 8GB ram and : Intel Dual-Core i5 2.2 GHz (2 Cores, 4 Threads) or equivalent that is way more expense and way more power than I am willing to provide.

When I was given a short term test of 1GB internet by my provider (I guess they hope to upsell when you see the speed), I noticed my speeds could only do 123Mbps max with the usual all turned on. I turned off and then its in the 900's. My 'normal' speed I pay for is 100/20Mbps - so that USG limitation was never going to be an issue for me. Australia's average internet speed for 2023 - drum roll - 54Mbps down and 18Mbps up (according to speedtest) - ranked 92 in the world! I do look forward to a faster/better USG Lite one day, and then I will have the luxury of considering spending upwards of $130 a month for the 1Gbps plan.

What percentage of the world wide home routers have this? That would be a minute amount I would think. I suspect > 99% of the planet would have the basic cheap isp supplied router or something they got ages ago that still just works. What percentage of the world’s ‘home’ users would even know what ids/ips was. That is on the USG also.

I came from pfsense running on UnRaid, then tried it in a spare laptop. Eventually as I have UniFi ap’s and switch and frequent lockups in pfsense, I bought the usg. That was so many years ago now I can’t remember and it has been bullet proof ever since. One unified interface for all my few and vlan secured networks is great. In Aus, We dont have the flashy fast internet that you other countries have. Our crazy ex PM once said 25 down and 5 up is more than enough!!!!

USG-lite is what I would upgrade to also. Very difficult to get in Australia.

I have an edgerouterX as a warm standby should the USG ever fail, as a stopgap while a newer one arrives. I think a number of people still run old stuff like this. No issues yet.

Not the usg no. The more advanced ones unify devices do have their own. USG is very very old now - mine is still going strong.

Thanks, and it was already there. Still trying to decide if I now update to the later release...... Some good things in there re vlan viewing etc.

I have installed this now - same version 7.5.187 (with -unraid added of course), and configured the same (custom:eth0--LAN and hardcoded IP address). I noticed the restore did not restart the container as I had to do that manually. One thing I had on the previous container is the timezone added to the docker container like this : Will this be supported on your new container ? Is it added in the same way ?

I have setup xfs now on my cache drives so I can snapshot save rather than appdata backup. Never any downtime anymore for the saves. It’s liberating. I followed space invader one’s YouTube for instructions on all that. Really good and automated snapshot saves to the other cache drive each night.

I have been following ll this and ready to jum,p on board also. This comment may have answered my question however - I am currently on linuxserver/unifi-controller:7.3.83 and this new container only provides for 7.5.187-unraid and 8.0.7-unraid. I had assumed I have to change my current controller to one of these as the backup and restore would be a large jumpt to a newer release. So is it OK therefore to JUMP to the 7.5.187-unraid release ? with my 'older' hardware - namely : USG3 US-8-60W USW-Flex-Mini UAP-AC-Lite UAP-AC-LR EDIT - Never mind, I did a snapshot and took the plunge on the 'upgrade' on the linuxserver.io and changed the tag to linuxserver/unifi-controller:7.5.187-ls216. All my stuff seesm fine - so far only noticed my 'LAN' has changed to 'Default' everywhere - but all is working well. I can now do a direct backup / restore to your new container @peteasking - thanks heaps on all this effort....... or should I go the 8.0.7 route....... while feeling reckless!

Turns out I have a disk read error! users shares not there - so it could not CD unto /mnt/user........ bnest I fix that and retry!
