Hi all. So as an update my server has been running fine for 24 hours with only Community apps and fix common problems installed so definataly a plugin problem. Thinking it maybe core temp not playing well with AMD cpu

thanks i can see that setting and its set to auto also 2hrs and 52 mins now without a crash with no plugins installed

ok so an update after deleting all of the plugins and rebooting the server its now been up for 1hr 22mins with no crash

Hi All. Hope someone can help as I seem to be out of my depth here on this one. So i was running a successful unraid server on an HP microserver gen8 with no problems... decided to upgrade my server so purchased the following Ryzen 1700 16gb ram asus Prime X370 Mobo (Bios up to date) 256gb NVME (For Cache which I have never had before) Nvidia GTX 760 (Temporary GPU) So i preceded to build the machine, plugged in the USB key and the 4 drives I had my array on from the old machine.. booted everything up and all seemed to be fine. I then set-up the cache drive, moved some folder onto it and left it at that. This is where problems started.. The server started to randomly freeze and only a hard reboot would bring it back up. I checked the logs and found some errors Error with CPU thread 11 - Thought there was a hardware issue so chucked a new formatted HD in and proceeded to install windows 10 to check for any hardware problems.. spent 5 hours with the machine with windows 10 bench marking cpu/gpu and found no issues what so ever, also did a memmtest and again no issues found Next i started unraid in safe mode with no plugins installed and what do you know after 2 hours of tinkering no crashes even running 8 dockers. so next i decided to reboot into normal mode and delete any plugins which i managed to do but before i could reboot server crashed again. So so far i have only been ale to run the server in safe mode without crashes. I have just rebooted the machine without any plugins to see how long it last this time around. some of the other errors in the log i have found Nov 17 13:33:40 Tower ntpd[1957]: kernel reports TIME_ERROR: 0x41: Clock Unsynchronized and something about upstream timeout on certain plugins (Before i removed them) also noticed this morning before i used safe mode and removed the plugins a couple of cores where stuck at 100% and overall usage at 26% which made loading GUI pages really slow. The only thing the system has is a i wouldn't say old but a power supply from an old machine. its a corsair TX650w. now i know alot of people say that could be the issue but no problems running in windows environment and i would have thought that would have stressed the system more than unraid would have. Any ideas how i start to diagnose this issue as the logs dont ssem to show much around the time of the crashes. I have attached some log files from last night. tower-diagnostics-20191117-1101.zip tower-diagnostics-20191116-1812.zip

ok so 5 minute update: so if I go into network settings in unraid and change dns to manual and add pihole ip as the first dns server internet does not work. BUT if i then put a secondary server of say 1.1.1.1 internet comes back up.. so why is unraid not seeing the pihole ip as a DNS server?

Hi All. Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question but i am stuck with an issue with Pihole/unraid/pfsense and hoped you may help. So decided to give Pihole a try and so far on all normal clients (NonVPN routed) all is working well. My problem lies with my unraid server.. so my set-up is as follows Pfsesne --> Unraid Server (IP for Unraid server in PFsense is set-up to go through VPN gateway) Pfsense --> all other clients run through my normal external IP So my problem is I have set-up the PiHole docker and all the clients on that are not running through VPN client work just fine.... BUT my unraid server cannot get to the internet (remeber its set-up in PFsense to go soley through the VPN gateway) I know this maybe a pfsense issue but anyone have any idea how to resolve this? If i look in the network settings of unraid it shows the Pihole ip as the dns server.. I have also tried updating the static mapping of the server in pfsense and changed the dns server in there to the pihole IP but that does not seem to work either.. what am i missing? I have the firefox docker installed and it cant resolve any websites.

server spec is as below Xeon 4core / 8 thread 16gb ram 1gb network you maybe right and it may need a few days to bed in.

thanks. I tested last night with a few small games and it wasnt going much faster than my internet speed I usually get 3.7Mb/s from steam and from the cache it was only giving 4.4mb/s I thought it would be a bit quicker.

ok scrap all that.. seem to have got it working.. Seems i had to specify the Steamcache IP under the DHCP server as a DNS server rather than the general page... seems to be working now.. One question.. whats the best option to get max speed when installing from the cache? right now I have the steamcache on my mechanical HD shares..

Even if I set-up the Steamcache IP as a DNS server in either windows or PFsense and resolve the name in powershell it seems to work PS C:\Users\enigm> Resolve-DnsName steamcache.cs.steampowered.com -server 192.168.102.150 Name Type TTL Section IPAddress ---- ---- --- ------- --------- steamcache.cs.steampowered.com A 600 Answer 192.168.102.150 Name : cs.steampowered.com QueryType : NS TTL : 600 Section : Authority NameHost : ns1.cs.steampowered.com ns1.cs.steampowered.com A 600 Additional 192.168.102.150 If i then go into PFsense and strip all the DNS servers (Usually use google) and just leave the IP of the steam cache container as the only DNS i can still resolve websites no problem. I even went into my modem and set the Steamcache ip as DNS and it doesnt work there either. So i turned off Privileged and this is the error i get in the logs Running bootstrap.sh... nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful Bind9 { Enabling cache for Blizzard 2018-11-23 22:22:31 Failed to set file handle limit: Operation not permitted Enabling cache for Frontier Enabling cache for Origin Enabling cache for Riot Enabling cache for Steam Enabling cache for Uplay Enabling cache for Windows Enabling custom DNS forwarder bootstrap finished. checking Bind9 config Running Bind9 Tried it again and nothing showing in the log its just blank... Could this be down to IPV6? someone above had a similar problem.. or could me running a VPN be an issue? i tried turning off the VPn and it made no difference

@mlebjerg THanks the error is just about enabling cache for the first service when setting up. using privaledged gets rid of the error.. I think its a problem with Pfsense and DNS servers some how.. I am not knowldgable enough with Pfsense to understand what needs to be changed to fix it. question. Even if i did not set the fixed IP s the DNS server in my router should it still show something in the log? i.e the misses?

@cheesemarathon did you manage to take a look? been trying for the last three days to get this to work and so far nothing I have done seems to have any effect

Hi. I ma getting the same problem as both posters above. So i have installed the docker. given it a fixed IP of 192.168.102.200 and changed the LAN_CACHE ip to 192.168.102.200 (Using Custom:BR0) in network type Switched on Privileged (otherwise i get erros in the log) pretty much everything else as default. Docker seems to start fine... if I then open console window in Unraid and type tail -f /data/logs/access.log and hit enter and then start a download on Steam, origin or blizzard i get nothing in the console window. Also tried putty and get the same. No folders are being created in the Cache folder on my share. any help appreciated. Edit: dont know if it makes a difference but I am running Pfsense as my router
