I would love to see an update process where if one server's plugins / dockers has been updated that the other servers could update their plugs / docker images from the one that has been updated. I run 6 unRAID servers and a lot of them have the same dockers / plugins. If there was a way to have a container that other unRAID servers could see a repository of updated content to pull from on the same subnet that would be fantastic.

To make it easy on myself I always just force the tag on the switch port I am connecting to. That way anything connected to said port will only see the vlan ID I assigned and won't do stupid stuff. I have had issues with unRAID and vLANs in the past. I truly hate the way vLANs work inside of unRAID. I'd be great if you just had a basic router from a box store and wanted to secure stuff that your server runs but the second you are using business grade equipment that is where I have to say no to unRAID in handling it. I personally am currently trying to figure out why NICs that are configured for Dockers only, out of nowhere just started use what ever NIC they decide to use even though I set them manually. Not sure if it is the Docker its self or the installed images, it can make you go nuts at times. From what I can tell your NIC on the 10G is not getting anything for the DHCP server on vLAN 2. IPv4 assignment is set to "none" meaning it didn't pick up an address. I understand trying to segment your network out but you might find it a headache. My server in question was running great for 2 years with reboots and power downs and just 3 days ago decided to start using random NIC ports making my life a hell for the moment. I haven reboot or upgrade in 90 days either, it just started doing weird stuff. Do you have a valid DHCP server set for vLAN 2? If you plug a different computer like Windows, Apple or Linux with the adapter configured for vLAN 2 does it get a valid IP Address from DHCP on vLAN2?

I am having issues with Serge. I have a very large server that has lots of RAM and CPUs with GPUs in it. I installed serge downloaded 2 models, both did not work. I see them in the directory if I go into the appdata folder though. When I go to the serge GUI it just tells me to download another model and the load model is blank with no models downloaded. I looked at the logs and saw this error. # WARNING Memory overcommit must be enabled! Without it, a background save or replication may fail under low memory condition. Being disabled, it can also cause failures without low memory condition, see https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc/issues/1328. To fix this issue add 'vm.overcommit_memory = 1' to /etc/sysctl.conf and then reboot or run the command 'sysctl vm.overcommit_memory=1' for this to take effect. Well that would work great if I'm on Ubuntu or something else with etc/*.conf files. Any thoughts on this. I have way more resources then is required.

Thanks JorgeB for all your help. All outputs were 8 and I am now getting 200MBs per second on all the SAS drives. The backplane on the rear of the server is working at 200 as well so it must be a SAS2. I bought the server used in February and just didn't have the time then to make sure it was configured correctly. When I first got it the server was set for failover, it was configured for a camera surveillance server. While I was able to make UnRAID work with in that configuration it was having issues and was really slow. Now it is much better with speeds I was hoping to achieve. Thanks again for your help. Ross

Thank you JorgeB! The MB is PCI 3.0 and I do have a hand full of 9207's on hand so I'll swap them out. I'm okay with 200MBs a second, 100 is just horrible. The documents says the 12 port backplane is a SAS-826EL2. It has 4 SFF-8087s, Primary 1 & 2 then Secondary 1 & 2. They are all SFF-8087's I have a couple 8088's on my desk and I think I looked at them and then typed out the they were SFF-8088's without thinking about it. All internal ports are 8087s. ( I'm guessing you know that though ) Thanks for the info. I will write this info down in my manual. Ross

I have the Supermicro SC847 Chassis The Backplane is the SAS2-846EL2 From what I can tell you can use 2 SSF-8088 on the front backplane but that only works as failover. It has Primary 1, 2, & 3 and Secondary 1, 2, & 3. Personally I would think all the Primary Ports are for the HBA support with Secondary 1, 2, & 3 for Cascading. The documents are lacking on what each primary SFF-8088 port does and how to use them. For instance nowhere does it talk about Primary 3 and Secondary 3 and how to use them yet they're there on the PCB. Can I connect the 3 Primary Ports up to 3 SFF-8088's and have 300MBs per second on SAS drives? I am using only SAS drives in this unit so there are no SATA's involved. It's a 36 bay server so it has a 24 port backplane on the front and a 12 port on the rear. The Rear has 4 SFF-8088's 2 primary and two secondary's. I currently am using two LSI 9211-8i's HBAs in IT mode but I'm moving to two Areca 1882I SAS controller. I am willing to add a 3rd HBA or Areca controller if I can run 5 SFF-8088's. I am not daisy chaining to another enclosure and I don't need redundancy on the SFF-8088s, I am just looking for better than 100MBs per drive. Thanks for any help. Ross

For "Option 2" What 3 SAS connectors or what one per Backplane do I use. I am having a hard time finding documents on correct performance configuration? For my current setup it is daisy chained and I have twice the drive count with half not existing. I am also getting really bad performance across all drives. I love that it has 36 HDD bays but I with I could just run 9 SSF-8087 cables to them. Thanks for any info you can give, Ross

I have a suggestion, not sure if this is where this goes or if there is another channel for requests. I really like this application as it makes it simple to install items on my server. One suggestion, I would love to see a rating system implemented where others along with myself could rate applications. Maybe even allow for reviews on why someone rated an app low or high. I think this would improve the Community Applications allowing others to see the programs ratings and if there are any issues with the app before installing the it from the interface. Not sure how hard this would be to add, but it'd be a nice added feature on an already awesome easy to use plugin. Thanks, Ross
