@itimpithanks! Will try that this afternoon. (something with work and being busy due to end of the year
).
Just one last thing Id like to check with you for now though:
Should I still trust this current USB stick? Would it make more sense for me to go buy a new one, flash it with the normal Unraid installer and manually copy the config folder from the old/corrupted USB stick to it?

Hi all,
My Unraid server does no longer boot, after trying to reboot it last night.
I was trying to update one of my docker containers, like I always do, but it downloaded 0 bytes and the app (Plex) would no longer start as a result of that with no further errors. Also when tryign to view the logging it seemed empty.
Weird, so I figured 'lets try a reboot'.
Then nothing ever came back online anymore, so I checked with a monitor what was going on.
When booting it hangs halfway with errors on the screen.
Now, my linux knowledge is limited, but I 'think' it is trying to read content from the USB stick, which is failing.
1. Is this correct?
if no, please enlighten me
If yes, then I guess I will have to replace the USB stick by creating a new one.
I then would like to do an attempt to see if I can recover any config files from the broken USB stick and manually copy them to a new stick. Which files/folders would be important? Also, I don't think these data are on the USB stick but on my hard drives. However, how do I ensure that if I make a new USB stick, Unraid will be using existing configs for docker and all its containers? (primarily the Plex config etc is important to me).
Thanks for all help, appreciated!

Hi all,
After having built several Unraid setups in consumer cases, I now though it was time I built a bigger one with room for more disks.
Long story short, I bought a nice pile of hardware, including a chassis: a 'SuperMicro 836'. I have read online that there seem to be several subversions of the 836, and I have no clue which of those I exactly have.
Anyway, it all works pretty fine. I already replaced all internal 80mm fans with more quiet ones. I know the originals spin that hard for a reason, but Im not populating the case with 16 high rpm SAS drives either, so I think (hope) I will be alright. It still makes an aweful lot of noise though due to the fans in the two PSUs. It has two 'PWS-801-1R' model PSU in it.
I have read online several solutions, but also things which suggest that they either don't work or hardly make a difference. Options I found online:
- Buy 2 'sq' PSU's. However, people also warn that Id need to check whether the specific SQ PSU's are compatible, as some have different connectors. How do I check this and/or which specific model would work for me? Also, what is the practical difference in noise they make?
- Replace the fans in the current PSUs. I am handy enough to do so, but this is only a path I am willing to take if there are no other good solutions. Also, has anyone done this and which replacement fans have you used?
- Would it be possible to use a regular ATX PSU? (normal ATX connectors on my board and I dont need the redundant PSU setup) It seems (havent checked, can anyone confirm perhaps?) thast if I take out the two 1u PSU's and the blind plate below them, a regular ATX PSU would fit in there on it's side. I am not sure about cooling though; ATX PSU's have a fan and then it would be blowing against the metal of the chassis I think? Also, I am not sure if I can just slide it in (if it would fit in the first place) or if there would be any metal obstacles in there. And lastly, which PSU would you recommend then? 16 Sata drives, 65w xeon CPU, Quadro p400 and a Quadro P2000.
Anyway, long story short: I could really use some use cases and best practises here :-)
Hope you guyscan advise me!
Thanks,
Martin

Anyone, please?

Hi,
I have been googling and searchign these forums, but to no avail. Maybe it's my poor Google/search skills. but still I hope someone can advise me.
I succesfully run a docker container with Pihole. I also run several other VM's/dockers, ie Nextcloud. These work perfectly fine when approached from the outside, but when I try to access them from within the same LAN over their domain names, my pfsense blocks all due to suspected DNS rebind attacks and god knows what..
So, what I'd like to do is manually hard code some entries in the host file of the docker, ie:
192.168.0.100 www.thisismydomain.com
If I understand correctly, there's no GUI option for this in Pihole. However, I also see that it seems to inherit the entries from the main host, so there I need to make the adjustments. After altering the hosts file on my unraid server, there a lookup of the domain did result in the prive IP. However, not on the docker, or it's clients requesting dns entries.. Also not after restarting the docker. Also, when rebooting my entire unraid host, the manual adjustments to the hosts file seemed to have disappeared as well..
Does anyone know how to get this fixed please?
Thanks in advance!

How do you set up VPN for some interfaces?
Hi, happy to write a short tutorial for you, but to make sure I understand correctly.. You mean within pfsense right?

@SpaceInvaderOne Your videos are fantastic.
Thanks to you I have a running Uraid server doing everthing I need apart from Pfsense.
I have watched all of the videos but am stuck with a problem.
I have passed through my 4 port Intel nic but pfsense only sees one port.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi,
I was about to raise the very same question... Did you manage to fix this yet?
I have a dual gbit Intel nic, which I know works under BSD.
I have followed the tutorial and also see only 1 port.
One port has a physical address ending with :46, the other one is :47.
When I passthrough both the machine/pfsense sees only :47.
When I passthrough :46 it sees :46 (as expected), and when I passthrough :47 is sees :47 (as expected)..
Anyone any clues?
I have fiddled around with PCIe ACS overrides, but to no avail.

Cannot boot server - broken USB? Need help please!

So, I tried just that as I had many weird issues trying to copy the /config folder from the USB stick.
Went and bought a new one, which didn't work (usb3) as it wouldn't boot. Found an old 4GB one somewhere in a closet and used that. Copied back the contents of my old /config folder and got all up and running again (after also transfering the license to thenew usb).
Thanks for your help!!
