  1. Just a quick update: Local machines on the network were deep scanned and nothing found. Out of an abundance of caution (and peace of mind) I wiped and rebuilt my Mac. I keep very little on it so it didn’t take long. The router settings were updated. I’m about to rebuild the unraid box now. plan of attack. Save the license key and super.dat file. Wipe the flash drive and update unraid. Copy files back and boot up and rebuild. I assume when I start up before starting the array I can unselect the cache drive and format it. Then do a fresh setup? At the moment the box will stay on internal network until it’s built and I can do some more homework on how to protect myself for opening up plex to the outside world again. I’ll be honest, I’m not the most advanced user. Can anyone tell me if my plan sounds good? Recommend any guides or tutorials on VPN use in unraid?
  2. Can one scan with a traditional antivirus software package from a PC on the home network? I’ve never tried that before. What’s the process for rebuilding and reusing the array data? Wipe the flash stick and cache drive. But then just set it up new but then will it auto detect the exciting array? what's the best way to protect myself post rebuild for purpose of using Plex? Setup a VPN in a docker?
  3. Local machine is secured and router is safe IMO. Next phase will be the unraid box rebuild. Question is can I flash the usb stick with a newer version of unraid and format the cache drive and rebuild. Delete the dockers and done? There are still a great number of media files on the array on various drives. Can I reuse the array? and/or can I reuse the media or do I need to do a fresh format on the entire array? I don't want to risk any lingering vulnerability however what's the odds there's something embedded in a media file?
  4. I do have two folders and one is Capital Media and one is media. ive also come to believe in a separate thread in the General discussion forum that I’ve been hacked. All bad news.
  5. The only docker I had setup was Plex. The machine as made for that purpose. Other network devices. The usual WiFi devices like Apple TV, iPad, phones etc. only thing of significance is my iMac which is newer and running the most current software OSX. Uses a separate user login and password. I think it’s probably doubtful they could get in unless “they” had those credentials? I mean realistically they already have access to that devices data given the time machine backup is on the comprimised raid box. I’ll probably wipe and rebuild the iMac just to be safe. For that matter can I backup my data or use the “possible” compromised time machine backup? Concern would be something installed coming back to haunt me later. That leaves the ISP provided. router. Factory reset? Is there a risk with this to do nothing?
  6. My “technical” knowledge was always a concern in setting up an unraid box and apparently I didn’t do enough homework. Ok. Hard lesson to learn but it’s done and I can’t do anything about it now. My biggest priority is trying to ascertain what they took from the machine or if it was just someone poking around and causing mischief deleting my media. Again, not unraid tech savvy, but can I pull info from the diagnostic tool and upload it here? Would anyone be able to determine if they downloaded my files and what? Looking for some needed help.
  7. My unraid box is mainly a Plex media server. I thought it odd tonight that when I went to watch a movie and I couldn't find the movie. All my individual movie folders are still accounted for but 75% of them are missing the movies inside their respective folders. I ran "fix common problems' and this came up with the attached possible hack attempts. FYI. My server was set as dmz on my router which was turned on as part of an Unraid tutorial I watched when setting up Unraid and Plex. I'm not unraid savy and I just discovered its a no-no. *sigh*. I copied some screenshots from some of the logs and at least one of the IP's is a Chinese IP. At the moment the array is off and I've turned off port forwarding and DMZ for the server on my router. As it stands I'm pretty sure I have god knows what installed on the box and its going to need a wipe and reinstall. I'm guessing I'm going to have to wipe all my media/drives just to be sure there isn't anything installed on there. I can handle losing my media but what I'm more concerned about is my Time Machine backup that was on the server. I'm not very tech savy with the Unraid however I set it up following Space Invader One's video. My questions are: 1.) Time machine was set to a private share. Could a hacker of copied it? There would have been backups of my local PC files which would have included a lot of personal sensitive documents which would be bad from an identify theft perspective. Is there any way they could get into my local machine if they got into my home server on the unraid box? 2.) I assume my media will be lost. Is there a way to save what's left or don't bother. 3.) How do I prevent this again so I can still use Plex from outside my house but such that its protected and this won't happen again?
  8. I'm at a complete lost at the moment. I went to watch a movie tonight and on Plex and noticed that I couldn't find movies on the library. When I logged into Unraid to do a check, I see all of my media movie folders are present but 75% of them have zero files in them. Media... is gone. Help?! The whole point of setting up an Unraid box was to house my media for Plex and to avoid losing in a crash but this is just as bad and I have no idea how it happened or where my media went or if its recoverable. All my drives are showing good. Zero errors. If I go into unraid GUI and into the media folder through the SHARES tab then it shows the situation I'm describing above. All movie folders are listed but only some have media in them and others are blank. If I go in to the media folder under HDD1 under the MAIN tab then I see the same movie folders and the movies that are missing in the SHARES are present here. Now when I go to HDD2 under the MAIN tab into my movie folder i have movie folders but with missing media files. HDD3...same. Most folders are missing their media files. Things were fine a few days ago... I'm So confused. I'm running Ver. 6.8.0. And before anyone asks me to submit a log, I have no idea how to do that. Thanks for the patience and the help.
  9. I'm not a what I'd consider an advanced user however I managed to get unraid up and running with the help from a friend and following the Spaceinvader One YouTube videos. Everything has been working great without issue for over a year. I pretty much use it as a full time PLEX server and media storage. I manage all my files though the Plex interface and using Finder (Mac) to move media around. Zero issues navigating the unraid server through Finder. As such I've had a few instances where I haven't logged into the server through the GUI for months at a time. The last two times I've tried to log into unraid through the GUI I'm getting prompted for a username and password. It's also causing issues with Time Machine backups now. This never happened once in the 1st year+. The default admin account was simply the root user and no password set so when I got the GUI login it caused trouble because I didn't know (or have) a password set. I found a guide online on how to wipe the passwords and GUI login was gone and everything was great again. Today I log on to do some maintenance and again am being prompted for the GUI Login. I still have access through Finder without issues though. Does anyone know why it does this? Is it simply from not accessing the server enough? (security measure) or is there a way to remove the login prompt?
  10. I had the same issue after updating to OSX Catalina and no matter what I did, the Unraid creator tool would give the same error as you. I was successfully in setting up the flash drive manually per the following: https://lime-technology.com/getting-started/#usb-prep-sshots
  11. Hello everyone... pretty new to Unraid although the tower is up and running with a functional array and a few dockers going. I'm trying to find a way to point my Plex docker to my Synology box as it has the bulk of my media. I've done a bunch of reading and I can confirm the Sysnology box has SMB share enabled but its not coming up as an SMB share. I've tried connecting to it by adding the ip however its not finding it and I'm at a loss. I appreciate any advice or help someone can give or point me towards in solving this problem. If it helps for purpose of explaining out the help, my synology box name is deathstar. (because its cool? lol). Thanks.
