That's interesting.. In my case, I dont have a cache drive, so I'll have to look for the "unread" directory.. I didn't know those alerts were stored somewhere I could get to themm

So.. sorry if this is a dumb question, but I've never been able to find an answer through google or the forum.. THere is a "Close all notifications" button at the top right of my screen now, but EVERY TIME I log back into the console, I have old notifications, and i Have to clear dozens of screens of notifications. Why do these keep coming back? It's clearly not all of them, but as I log in now, I see that back in AUGUST, I had a bunch of overheating drives.. I know that.. I fixed a fan back in august, and I have cleared this message a dozen or more times as I've logged in to look at other stuff over the months. Is there somewhere I should be clearing them permanently that I'm missing? I can't believe that if I wasn't the only one having this problem that there wouldn't be more questions about it, so I figure I'm doing something dumb.. Please help!! :-)

I know this is an old thread, but I hate to see threads where there's no confirmation of the information given, so I thought I'd say I just had great success with the process described, and was able to convert an EMPTY 4tb drive in my UnRaid to XFS from RFS.. After the days-long process of moving my data around, it took just a few seconds to do the actual convert. Thanks for the info.. and just FOUR more disks to go!! :-) -Steve

I'm not sure who you were asking, but just for my personal configuration, here's what I do.. Crashplan can be used for free, to backup between your own, or your friends/family PCs, and/or you can use the crashplan cloud as a destination if you subscribe. Personally, I subscribe, and ONLY use their cloud as a target, so I installed both the server and the client docker containers on UnRaid, and I've started the long (probably year long) process of backing up 16+tb to their cloud... I first picked a few select "important" directories and watched it backup over the first week, and then added some "second tier" directories which now say it will take about 60 days to complete, then I'll probably just click on the /mnt/user level, and let it backup all my shares, and just see how long it takes... I could use UnRaid as a target for my other PCs, but I have a Microsoft "Home Server" which does a good job at backing up and restoring Windows boxes, so I use that, as the target for my various PCs, then I use Crashplan to backup the home server too..

All the correct URL's for every repository is listed here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=37958.0 Yep.. Just stumbled across that today.. Now, I've gone from "can't get it to work" to "Can't believe how cool this is" with about 12 different apps running in under 24 hours! :-)

Only thing I'd say is to add the URL for the container to the doc.. This was the biggest missing piece from your doc as far as I was concerned.. Thanks for doing that for everyone! -Steve

BONUS! So.. now, with the correct repository URL, the crashplan-desktop package installed and worked the first time.. No adjustments needed.. This is AWESOME! :-)

EUREKA! I am FINALLY backing up my UnRaid!! Thank you to everyone who helped, and everyone who put so much work into the whole docker container system for crashplan!! SO.. The solution was to 1: ADD the correct repository URL to my docker config: https://github.com/gfjardim/docker-containers/tree/templates/gfjardim worked for me 2: The settings on the server-side seem to be automatically set to allow any client to connect, in the current version of the container.. I did not have to do the "change 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0" and the other changes in that config xml file. 3: I did have to change the server IP to my Unraid IP in the conf\ui.properties on the client (Windows) side 4: I had to copy the .identity file (HIDDEN on Unraid /crashplan/id directory) to the \programdata\crashplan directory 5: I also copied the .ui_info file from the unraid (also in /id directory) to the \programdata\crashplan directory. I don't know if this was needed, but I did it, because I saw some reference to it in this thread. I think the biggest thing is that I never saw that URL anywhere else in any other post.. I have seen and tried at least 3 other URLs, none of which had worked. Thanks again, and I hope this helps someone else! -Steve

You need to add https://github.com/gfjardim/docker-containers/tree/templates to Docker Repositories instead. That didn't work either, but seeing where I got when I went to that site with a browser, I was able to figure out THIS path: https://github.com/gfjardim/docker-containers/tree/templates/gfjardim Now, I seem to be getting somewhere.. It's installing now - We'll see how it goes!! Thank you SO MUCH to everyone for all this help!!

That doc is great, but the beginning leaves me a bit confused still.. In the actual CREATION of the container, my options are completely different than your screenshot, and I can't get it to create through the GUI.. If I click add a container, I get what you see in the attached screenshot (Capture.JPG).. Nowhere to specify what type of container I want to create, except for the pull-down, which only includes sync and Plex as options (templates.jpg). I assume now based on your screenshot that I should have this in my pull-down? I added "https://github.com/gfjardim/docker-containers/tree/master/crashplan" to my template repositories.. is that not correct?

Understand your feeling… been there done that! Firstly are we talking about the CrashPlan Docker (this is the “server”) or is it the CrashPlan-Desktop Docker (this is only the “client” GUI)? I can do some screen dumps later for you if you like? I'm just talking about the crashplan server docker.. I haven't quite got my head around how the "desktop" side is supposed to work on a Linux machine without a GUI, so I'm trying to rely on my Windows machine for the GUI control of it before I open that can of worms..

That is most certainly a problem.. I haven't seen anything about a .identity file.. I will have to fix that and give it a shot - Probably not until late tonight unless I get a lull at work today.. One other related question, especially given "EXTREMEAUDIO"'s post above, is regarding HOW I was supposed to install the container in the first place (hopefully "container" is the right docker terminology??) - I can go to the docker tab in Unraid, and click "Add container" but I couldn't find any way to install the crashplan container this way, so I went and did it through SSH and the "docker run" command I detailed above, but then the container doesn't seem to want to let me view/edit the configuration from the web GUI.. Am I doing something fundamentally wrong here? I'm a long time UnRaid user, but painfully new at docker! Steve

OK.. I found this elsewhere in this thread, and have verified that it is set this way on my UnRaid. The whole section is like this: <serviceUIConfig> <serviceHost>0.0.0.0</serviceHost> <servicePort>4243</servicePort> <connectCheck>0</connectCheck> <showFullFilePath>false</showFullFilePath> <autoLoginPasswordHash nil="true"/> <autoLogin>true</autoLogin> <locale nil="true"/> </serviceUIConfig> Is there anything else in there that needs changed?

Hmm.. I have TRIED to do the tunnel, but my intention is to have the client talk straight to the server.. That being said, I've never seen anything about this "access to unsecured connections" setting.. I'll search for that, but if you see this and can explain, that would be great.. ALSO, for clarification, I just re-checked what I THOUGHT was my crashplan config, which I thought should be in the /mnt/user/crashplan directory, and what I found was that everything was in the /mnt/user/Docker structure, as shown in the attached picture, which makes sense based on my install command afterall.. I changed it to point /config to /mnt/user/crashplan just to prove to myself it was working, and it did recreate all those config files. I still feel like I should be able to edit the docker container, and I'm not sure why it seems "half" installed.. There's no reason to install the config UI side on my Unraid if I intend to manage it from my windows box, right? Thanks for the help!

I am REALLY feeling dumb to have to ask this in a forum topic that already has 24 pages of posts, but I STILL can't get Crashplan to work with Unraid in docker.. My UNRAID is pretty generic, with IP address of 192.168.1.10 and the command I used to install is: docker run -d -h 192.168.1.10 --name="CrashPlan" -v /mnt/user/Docker:/config -v /mnt/user:/data -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro -p 4242:4242 -p 4243:4243 gfjardim/crashplan I set the /config directory to a place I could get to via Windows Explorer to be able to look at logs and stuff, and the docker does create the directory structure where I expect it.. Then, I go to my Windows workstation, and edit my "C:\Program Files (x86)\CrashPlan\conf\ui.properties" file to show: serviceHost=192.168.1.10 servicePort=4243 (all other lines remarked) I can watch in Wireshark that my workstation communicates with the server on tcp/4243, exchanging about 18 packets, and then stopping. The GUI on my workstation never gets past the splash screen. In Unraid's docker config, I see what's in the attached capture.jpg, which doesn't seem to be right. What am I missing? Why are there 2 ports (4242 and 4243?) Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!! Thanks in advance!
