I encountered the same issue earlier in the week. Digging around this morning I found if you open the Console for the binhex-privoxyvpn Docker Container and type "cat /tmp/getvpnport" it will show the incoming port.

Tried recreating my unRAID installation on a known working/ reliable Samsung Flash drive. However this evening, unRAID froze again. From the output on my screen when unRAID locked up, my problem seems to be this issue: https://forums.unraid.net/bug-reports/stable-releases/6123-multiple-php-fpm-child-exited-on-signal-9-r2649/?page=1 I will remove the failing HDD's tomorrow. Then reduce the number of Dockers/ VMs I'm running, reboot to free memory and try updating again. Hopefully that will work.

Unfortunately upgrading is one of the ways in which the unRAID system is freezing. Visiting the "main" tab also hangs. I just tried grabbing the diagnostics to post them but I got a 404 error. Beginning to think the unRAID flashdrive is faulty along with those 2 failing hard disks.

Hello all, Currently I have unRAID 6.12.13 that has been freezing/ locking up. The problem seems to be 2 issues in my Array. Current config: Array of 1x 1TB HDD - Parity - This drive is vibrating heavily 1x 1TB HDD - Disk 1 - This drive is struggling to spin up 1x 1TB HDD - Disk 2 Pool Devices 1x 250GB NVMe - "Cache" Pool 1x 4TB HDD - "Data" Pool All drives are using an encrypted XFS filesystem. Only have "User Shares". "Disk Shares" are disabled in Settings. All Dockers etc point to /mnt/user . I have used used "Mover" to copy all files from the Array to the "Data" Pool by changing the Primary/ Secondary storage options for each share to Array+ "Data" Pool. I have a backup of the data and unRAID flash drive. Now, I am unsure what to do next.... Current thinking is; 1) Disable Array autostart 2) Shutdown unRAID and physically remove Array Disks 3) Boot up and use the "New Config" tool with the Preserve Current Assignments option, to reassign the 4TB HDD as Array Data Disk 1. 4) Start Array and Edit Shares to set Primary Storage as the Array 5) Done? I believe this will keep all the data and I can then add a Parity drive when I buy one at a later date. Is this correct? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply. After updating unRAID to 6.11.1. In the VPN Manager, unRAID still sets Local endpoint to external-ip.<hash> . I'm not sure I made it clear. But unRAID replaces external-ip with my routers IP, however it isn't replacing <hash> with anything like I guess it should? I'll give it another try tomorrow. Maybe try a DDNS provider as you suggest. EDIT: Tried all kinds of *.<hash>.myunraid.net combinations using the hash from the Management Access settings page without success. Using an external DDNS provider worked first time. So I'll stick to that. Thanks.

Hey all, Quick question for the "Local endpoint" option in the VPN Manager. In the blue help box the first line reads: What is the public management domain name exactly? Is it referring to the address setup for Remote Access via the My Servers plugin? If so, does this mean I can use www.<hash>.myunraid.net instead of a Dynamic DNS service to maintain access to my VPN, even if my public IP address changes? Right now the box is populated by default with external-ip.<hash> and I'm unclear what exactly I have to enter in this box. Cheers.

@ljm42 I to am unable to Provision. unRAID 6.10.3.

Quick request/ suggestion: Would it be possible to securely host the keyfile used to unlock encrypted Arrays on My Servers? Then if a users unRAID server was stolen they could delete the keyfile on My Servers to stop anyone gaining access to the files. Cheers.

Thanks to @theaverageguy for asking my question - https://youtu.be/FnFcaKNF268?t=3508 And @jonp for the reply. That's brilliant news about the new Cloud backup feature for the unRAID Flash device. Being able to get over that first hurdle of getting back to a working system after a problem will be a big help. Will the Cloud backup contain only the current backup of the unRAID Flash device, or will you be able to go back 1 week, 1 month - to allow you to restore the last known good configuration? On the more general point of Array/ user data backup. Right now I'm trying to get a friend onto unRAID but was met with a blank facial expression after talking through all the different backup options. Its great from a tinkerer point-of-view like myself. For a regular user its just too much to absorb and get something reliable working. There needs to be an Official unRAID way of doing an Array backup. When you search "Windows Backup and Restore" or "Synology Backup and Restore" you get helpful results at the top of Google. Try that for unRAID and you have Flash device backup, CA Backup/ Restore Appdata and some talk about using unRAID as a target for Apple Time Machine before the talk gets very technical. Leaving your regular user who deleted a video project they've been working on all week completely out of luck. To me it just seems the next natural step for unRAID to add an Official Array backup, either developed by the unRAID team or working with a established partner. You mention a few times during the show that customer data protection is your number 1 priority. Unfortunately continuing your stellar work on unRAID from the software side isn't enough; hardware fails, users make mistakes and viruses are a thing. For me there are so many advantages to using unRAID. I have several friends and family who would benefit from moving to unRAID. But its hard to get them to commit on the idea when competing platforms and products have, maybe not ideal, but basic backup features baked into their products. Thanks again for taking the time to reply to my question

Question on backups: One of the things that often stops me recommending unRAID to other less technically-minded users is the lack of a built-in, easy-to-use backup tool that can be managed by the web interface. Currently the only built-in backup tool unRAID provides is the unRAID Flash device backup. To backup my Docker containers I use the excellent CA Backup/ Restore Appdata plugin. Then run rsync on a schedule to copy the data in my shares to another computer on my network. Does the unRAID team have any plans for adding a more comprehensive built-in backup solution? Looking forward to the show! Thanks

It's working for me. I followed these instructions: https://support.opendns.com/hc/en-us/articles/227987727-Linux-IP-Updater-for-Dynamic-Networks

Yeah "ifconfig" is being phased out for "ip". If you just want the IP address type "ip a" or "ip help" for more information. The problem with "ip" is it doesn't return anything useful when Googling. I was scratching my head like you trying to work out what happened to "ifconfig".

Update: Pi-hole can't be used effectively with a BT Smart Hub Router for IPv6 devices. Even with DHCP disabled the BT Smart Hub will send out Router Advertisements and IPV6 devices will use autoconfiguration to assign the BT Smart Hub as the IPv6 DNS server. There is no way to disable Router Advertisements. Time for a new Router! Spent all yesterday evening troubleshooting why I was sometimes getting ads, even on websites I'd visited a few minutes earlier that were ad-free. Looking in the Pi-Hole Query log I could see IPv6 DNS requests to ad servers were not being Pi-holed. Which seemed a bit weird as only a few weeks ago on my old Ubuntu Home Server, I had Pi-hole up and running without issues. Turns out my BT Smart Hub has been updated and now uses IPv6 for all Internet traffic except strangely DNS that still uses IPv4. (Seems IPv6 BT DNS is being rolled out gradually across the whole network.) Checking with nslookup I could see one response to my DNS query from my Pi-hole container using IPv4 and one from my BT Smart Hub using IPv6. This resulted in ad DNS requests being handled differently and sometimes ads being served. IPv4: Client DNS request for ad >> Pi-hole container >> Pi-holed IPv6: Client DNS request for ad >> BT Smart Hub >> BT IPv4 server >> ad served. Trying every combination of settings I could think of I somehow found the additional steps to @gridrunner excellent video tutorial that you should take after following his instructions. Open the BT Smart Hub web interface and goto >> Advanced Settings >> IPv6 >> Configuration. Enable ULA and select Stateless Allocation mode. Open unRAID's web interface and goto >> Settings >> Network Settings. Change the Network Protocol to IPv4 + IPv6 and set Static addresses for both IPv4 and IPv6. (You can't use the BT Smart Hubs DHCP server for Pi-hole. You need to use Pi-hole DHCP server. Because Pi-hole is running on unRAID you therefore need Static addresses. You should set the IPv4 DNS servers to Google DNS/ OpenDNS or whatever you prefer so unRAID has DNS access even when the Pi-hole Container isn't running.) Now goto your Docker tab and click on Pi-hole and open the Console. Type ifconfig and make a note of your IPv6 Pi-hole Container address. (It will be the longer address that starts with fc or fd). While you are here, double-check the Interface the container is using as @skunkworker points out in the post above mine.) Click Pi-hole on the Docker tab again and hit Edit. Change Key 4 to True and then hit +Add another Path, Port, Variable, Label or Device and enter this new variable; Config Type: Variable Name: Key 9 Key: ServerIPv6 Value: <enter the IPv6 Pi-hole container address you just noted down> Description: Container Variable: ServerIPv6 hit Apply. 5. Now open the Pi-hole web interface, login and goto >> Settings >> DHCP. Enable the DHCP server and set the IP range and gateway. e.g From 192.168.1.50 to 192.168.1.100 and Router 192.168.1.254. Check the Enable IPv6 support (SLAAC + RA) and Save. If you browse some website, all the ads should be gone and the Pi-Hole Query log should now show IPv6 ads being Pi-holed too. Hope this makes sense. First time using unRAID and Docker
