@Martyzzz Just a random educated guess - if you're running a separate database, check that the ip address of the database didn't change, that happened to me once and with a new motherboard install with a new NIC, it may be likely. @can0199 yes I have, but I have no idea if I will be much help as it was a while ago now, here's my config if that helps. I have a vague recollection I had to change a config file somewhere. Only Office Document Server Nextcloud

And don’t forget you can get good performance through zfs on unraid. Who knows, you may be able to use mdadm to get standard raid 5 too. Unraid has a nice feature set for home, proxmox for enterprise.

What I wasn't sure about is it said you have to have nextcloud stopped. Which would mean these commands won't work I assume.

Has anyone here done the 17.02 upgrade yet? And if so, did you come across this? https://help.nextcloud.com/t/warning-regarding-need-bigint-after-17-01-to-17-02-upgrade/66531

You don't have to have a standard unraid array running as far as I know. Anything that works on ZFS on linux will work here - so yes, if you're after a striped array - that would work too. So to this end - ZFS does work for array drives - just not unraid array drives. FreeNAS doesn't necessarily make sense because of as you say the ecosystem of unraid is better. FreeNAS has a way better GUI for ZFS is probably the biggest difference. But also being BSD you'll have to learn about their BSD Jails for docker equivalent (no native docker) and also BHIVE for virtual machines which it seems people complain about a lot. There can also be driver issues if you have anything but fairly standard hardware because the linux kernel drivers are going to be more than in freebsd. For these reasons, if Unraid doesn't suit you - I'd actually consider proxmox before FreeNAS. Proxmox support zfs and other standard filesystems and arrays (ZFS doesn't do RAID 5 reliably for example) and has a more enterprise feature set which is nice (e.g proper vm backups, docker and LXC which is very cool (think a whole ubuntu distro in 2MB). That's my 2c anyway. For me I nearly moved away from unraid too - but adding ZFS kept me going. Believe it or not the last version kept killing my disks for some reason, so ZFS gave me the security and less important stuff is on the unraid array. Hope that helps a little.

I think it's prudent to add - ZFS does not publish shares, it adds configuration so that unraid can publish that configuration via it's own SMB implementation. Also, I don't recall having to do anything to publish my shares at boot - I've see a few people say that they need to do something and have always been confused by that. But since I did shift some existing shares from the unraid array to zfs, I did have to first remove the shares from the unraid config to get them to work. Also had to make sure the file permissions were right on the ZFS files. But other than that they do seem to work automatically.

I wouldn't worry about the plugin aspect of it - yes it would be better to be built into unraid, but it works at native speeds and is very robust and reliable. I've not had a single issue in regards to performance or stability since I installed it - in that regard I do consider it native. The only thing it means is that after an unraid upgrade, the developer has to recompile it for the latest kernel. Not a big deal - he's very responsive. Hopefully one day, limetech will find a way to make this integrated more as others such as ubuntu are now doing (legacy licencing concerns that no longer apply - but some are still cautious). I think there's a step by step guide a few posts up. You gotta be comfortable with the command line is the only thing.

I'm well expereinced in SMB, though not so much in ZFS. However i did this and the first trick was that all the shares are set in the SMB extras portion of the SMB icon within unraid. I didn't actually need to do anything with zfs. However, there were a few enhancements you could do with ZFS / SMB if you read the SMB manual. I don't think any of them are mandatory though. I think the misconception is that ZFS does the SMB sharing, it doesn't, it just has the capability to work with it built in. At least that's how I understand it.

In case it's helpful, I feel there are two use cases once you've got ZFS on unraid. One is your array where you can have multiple different sized disks and also crucially for home users, they all power off individually when not in use - so that would be the standard unraid array. The other is the data that you just don't want to ever lose through any kind of file corruption, like photos, important documents etc - that's ZFS. So Actually I run both. It does mean you have to lose two drives for parity, but many people do that anyway. I basically just run a simple single mirror on ZFS, the rest on unraid array with XFS.

RC7 is now out kernel 5.3.12

Does anyone know if this is possible? I can rearrange them up and down, but I can't seem to cross them left and right. Most of the important information seems to be in the left column, so I want to bring it across so it's all top of screen. Thanks.

I see the issue. I'm wondering if it is something I can help with in some way? If it's all automated it shouldn't be too hard.

One way around that would be to run a blank install in a vm I suppose. I wonder if @limetech could give you some kind of dev licence for that.

Hey, I feell bad enough just asking all the time - so even tomorrow would be amazing! Shame it can't autogenerate locally - that would be cool.

@steini84 would you mind doing your magic? 6.8 RC6 released Kernel version 5.3.11 Further information here: Many thanks, Marshalleq

Yeah so someone just needs to encrypt / salt the file, which leaves it readable to the OS and not readable to the casual file system browser and we're done. No more complaints. Sounds reasonable! Hopefully limetech will agree.

Wow cockpit looks amazing. I've heard that unraid will shy away from any competing GUI's which after a two second glance this appears to be. Would be amazing if it could have the ZFS management integrated though. I love console but for ZFS it would be a lot nicer to have a GUI in my opinion.

I’m fairly sure that storing the key isn’t the issue it’s that it’s plain text. I’m also fairly sure that other apps can successfully utilise stored keys that include some kind of encryption / salt, so they’re not plain text - not that I’m an expert. I’m just saying it seems like the issue is that it’s plain text not that it’s stored and I think that should be resolvable.

Anyone know if the nginx portion within the letsencrypt image includes the cache capability? I added the below (+ server bloc) When I add this: proxy_cache_path /config/nginx/cache levels=1:2 keys_zone=my_cache:10m max_size=10G inactive=60m use_temp_path=off I get this: nginx: [emerg] invalid parameter "include" in /config/nginx/nginx.conf:77(edited) Line 77 is actually this line: include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;

I upgraded today, thinking that because there is not a new kernel, it would upgrade. However it doesn't as I think it has a specific lock to the version? Or at least I assume kernel firmware is not the same as a kernel upgrade afaik. Downgrading requires going to a backup of libvirt.img

Yeah - those routers do the loopback / rebind thing we've been talking about. Your hosts file should have worked too, but this is even better. Also the Asus usually do take the WRT. The archer if I recall correctly is actually even better than the Asus in terms of it's hardware so that could have also been an option. Great that it's sorted!
