Thank you so much for your replies. Attached you are going to find my tower diagnostics. Three other questions I need to ask are: 1) With this configuration (2 parity disks 3TB and 10TB, 2 data disks 3TB each), is dual parity going to work as expected? 2) With this configuration (2 parity disks 3TB and 10TB, 2 data disks 3TB each), supposed that I need to also upgrade the second parity in the future with another 10TB parity is it going to enhance something as far as data safety or the capacity of each data disk? For instance if 2 disks fail, is the replacement of 2 new disks going to solve my problems without any loss of data? 3) With this configuration (2 parity disks 3TB and 10TB, 2 data disks 3TB each), If None of the disks fail, would I be able to easily replace the 3TB parity disk with a new 10TB without any loss of data? tower-diagnostics-20210930-0004.zip P.S. You are also going to find attached some smart tests of the disks tower-smart-20210930-0044.zip tower-smart-20210930-0044 (1).zip tower-smart-20210930-0044 (2).zip

Hello, currrently I have 1 parity disk of 3TB and 2 data drive disks of 3TB each. Iam thinking of replacing the old parity disk with the new one without following any swap procedure (by doing it immediately and rebuilding array). Do I lose data in this way? Last time I performed a parity check, it was with 0 errors and the health of the current disks is fine

The disks are completely healthy and I performed a parity disk check with 0 errors in the date mentioned in the images below:

Ok let me put my questions in a different manner. I just deliberately remove a 95% capacity data drive, full of real important data from my array. In other words I apply the steps from 1-7 as I told in my first post. Would I result with a 3TB cloned data disk drive with exactly the same data (95% capacity) as the one I extracted and I am keeping it in my hands as an intact disk? Or the new data disk is empty and there is no backup at all?

Hello, I have read the instructions of the afformentioned video and I have some questions arround the fact of adding/ replacing a parity drive in the array. Well my array consists of 3 3TB (NAS) hard drives. The description of video is similar to mine with the exception of 1 TB drive data. First of all I would like to ask if the aformentioned video corresponds to a 0% data loss scenario. What I am asking is: Am I sure that, after applying the instructions of the afformentioned video, Iam not going to lose any data? Please explain it to me with every material you have. I am going sometime in the future to do the following: 1) Remove deliberately one data disk from array (preferably the 96% full of capacity) and start the array without him. 2) Stop the array and shutdown pc 3) Replace the 3TB parity drive with a 10TB parity drive (both NAS) 4) Plug to new sata port the new (future) parity drive 5) Start up pc 6) In the array details and before starting the array replace old parity with the new one and in the empty slot where I had the old data drive, I place the old parity drive (both should be blue icons after this) 7) Then I check the checkbox to copy, right besides the start array button and start it. So after finishing these steps, am I going to be sure that nothing is lost, as far as data is concerned? A second option, but also a question is, to add another parity drive of 10TB(NAS), as a second parity drive, since I already have the choice to add a second parity drive and perform the above procedure some other time in the future, with the smallest parity drive of 3TB. Another question is more like an assumption. Are we sure that 0% data loss is ensured by the fact that there is 1 parity of 3TB versus 2 data disks of 6TB in total? Shouldn't I have another parity of 3TB to be sure that I do not lose data? Had I 2 parity disks (3TB each), it conpensates the fact that I am not going to lose data since I have 2 data disks (3TB each). 2 x 3 TB of parity = 2 x 3TB of data = 6TB. This is very important! Please correct me to any of the aformentioned steps and inform me about the correctness of both options.

I have similar problem here like @nastard. When I start docker using windows-based containers within vm it starts no problem. When I start vm using linux based containers, the error that @nastard mentioned in previous post shows up. I checked that both VT-d in BIOS and virtual machine platform feature in windows vm are both enabled. @testdasi Could you elaborate more to your solution with much detail into the steps you have followed?

I have the exact same problem like @EDV Dave. Has anyone find a solution to this? P.S. I think (not surely) that current issue is related to Are there any suggestions?

Hello, Thanks for the tips about duckdns and nextcloud. I already have done the instructions of SpaceInvader with no problem on these :). About Let's encrypt, let's say that it was not within my initial purposes since it is a close second after VPN server configuration. This is also said by SpaceInvader himself in the video you previously proposed me. Anyway, the reason I resorted to Let's encrypt was because I cannot find a free DNS provider where I could configure my own specific ns server names. They all propose their specific dns providers and in case someone needs to set a different ns server, a premium account is required. I also checked the dns provider that SpaceInvader is proposing in the video with url https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AS0HydTEuA4&feature=youtu.be, which states cloudflare with a free dns provider ns nameserver proposed by https://www.godaddy.com/. However there is none free. Someone should at least pay an ammount of 1 $ per month I think. For these reasons I installed let's encrypt and my server looks secure as it requires the certificate. What remains is to configure it to listen to port 80 because it is blocked always by my ISP provider. The solution is the first video url of this post, but as you already understand I result in a vicious circle. There are also 2 restrictions. Firstly, I cannot afford to buy the equipment (like the rooter) that spaceinvader is proposing, unless there is a work-arround. Secondly I cannot find a proper dns provider who provides for free (non-premium accounts) the ability to define a TXT Record of 1 sec as proposed in the video you mentioned me in your last post (http://sslforfree.org). If there exists one, could you email it me? Unless there is a work-arround coming of the aformentioned and due to let's encrypt problems, the only option is to continue with my current setup and find a solution of a completely secure nextcloud. The problems I have with nextcloud security are mentioned above in the first post of this topic. I also have another question. I only installed let's encrypt as a docker application. Should I also install nginx? I think it is already included in Let's encrypt. And a very important problem with my let's encrypt is that I cannot access the website of it. I get website timeout with 400 http status. Thanks in advance, SB P.S. I cannot printscreen the website of nextcloud, 'cause I can only see the website from my server Slackware OS (I suppose there is a misconfiguration of nextcloud and let's encrypt combination). Is there a way to do a printscreen in Slackware?

Hello, i have an issue with my nextcloud since 2 months. Well, Everything appears to be fine and working but I do not feel kind of fully secure. When I enter my Url of NextCloud, the page is redirected to a warning of a non secure site because my certificate is indicated to be self-signed. Only When I add an exception then I can access Nextcloud. I do the above in Mozilla. Just for the information, I would like to point the following: 1) I followed the instructions of the above video but with no sucess, since there is no online provider that supports free setting of ns servers of my liking. Maybe it is due to the country code I have. 2) I also have vpn server started but I am not using the https://sslforfree.com to verify my site. I think that this issue is not related to this fact. I just mention it to be sure. Any suggestions, so that I maximize my security level is welcome. The best possible solution for me would be to require manual certificate addition in the browser and disallow any exceptions. Below is my nextcloud config.php: Some of the information is obscured for my personal security. Thank you in advance, SB
