  1. Thank you for putting this all together.

     

    I have been reading over the thread and havent been able to find a similar situation to mine. Although I am sure I must be just missing it.

     

    I have HomeAssistant running in a VM network source is : br0

    I am running Nginx in an unraid docker with a bridged network. All of my other dockers are successfully configured on nginx. I havent been able to get HomeAssistant working.

     

    My tower is 192.168.1.150

    Home assisant VM is 192.168.1.212:8123

     

    I have gotten as far as getting home assistant login screen at ha.mydomain.ca

    but it then says "unable to connect to home assistant. Retrying in xx seconds..."

     

    Then I get a 502 bad gateway page.

     

    Cname is setup on google domains  - hostname: ha.mydomain.ca data - myname-duckdns.org

     

    nginx setup:

    domain : ha.mydomain.ca

    scheme: http

    IP: 192.168.1.212 (virtual machine ip)

    Forwarded port : 8123

     

    My thought is that it has to do with the VM being on a separate IP from the nginx docker. But I am not sure how to go about fixing it, or if that is even the correct idea.

     

    Thank you for looking

  2. A couple questions if you dont mind before I start copying.

     

    1. I can literally just use MC to copy everything from the old drives onto the new drives?

    2. Does it matter if the data goes from old drive 2 to new drive 2? or can old drive 2 go onto new drive 1?

     

    The old drives are labelled from where they came from, I just wanted to be sure how sensitive it would be to that situation.

     

    Thanks again

  3. Hello,

     

    I have made a mistake I think, hopefully not a terrible one.

     

    I wanted to upgrade a couple drives, shutdown the array, un-assigned the drive I wanted to replace. Powered down, and added the new drive.

     

    The old drives were reiserfs I wanted to change the new drives to xfs. This required a format. I think I misunderstood the warning pop-up. And now have lost the files that were on those two drives. *Edit for clarity. It was the new drives that I formatted, the old ones had been removed.

     

    They are intact. I still have them. And I can read them with the 'un-assigned devices' plugin.

     

    What can I do to reverse what I have done. Or am I out of luck?

     

    Thank you.

    Do you have all your drives intact including your USB boot key?

    I believe they are all fine.

    Did you have VM's with hardware passthrough?

    Yes but it wasnt important. That can be lost

    No

     

    Thank you for your reply

  5. Hello,

    My old server didnt come back on after a power outage. I have been meaning to upgrade everything for a while now. So figured now would be a good time.

     

    My question is, when the new machine is built. Whats best practice to move the old files over to the new machine?

     

    The old machine has only partially come back to life after replacing the PSU, so without diving in too deep (ram, mobo etc.) I dont really have access to that machine anymore. Im hoping that wont be an issue. 

     

    Thank you for any advice

    Seven,

     

    while you're considering builds, i suggest you google Killer NAS 4.0 and check out builds there.  There's also a 5.0 thread.  I am in the process of building a new backup server (thus the N400 case) and wondered a lot about this.  I got no input from folks here on my build and when i discovered that thread I learned a lot from that.  Now, this is all discussing used hardware and that may or may not be your thing, however, there are many very reliable boards out there that will serve for another decade or so ... i could not justify buying new hardware.  Based on that, here is the thought process I went through.

    Thanks so much for all your help. I am working my way through all of this information. Lots to process.

     

    You both have been very helpfull. Thanks!

    The size of the case only depends on your hardware requirements really..  drive space, basically.  You can see in my signature for my Ikea lack rack that I have a couple 4U cases, you may or may not want that size.  I don't know how many drives you can fit into a 2U, so it depends on what you can find.

     

    As for Ryzen -- the only thing I know of is that there may be a command or two to add to your configuration files but other than that it runs pretty smooth.  The choice of motherboard is the issue when comparing server hardware and consumer hardware.  If you want a server board with server features there's not much to offer for Ryzen.

    Not sure I want to have to add things to the configuration to make it work. But not completely out of the question.

     

    When building a system what piece do you suggest I start with? Case, Motherboard, processor?

     

    I am assuming that if I want to add a standalone graphics card that I will have to wait a while to be able to get one?

     

     

  8. Would you suggest budgeting for a larger case? Like maybe 3u? I havent purchased a rack - still planning, so I am flexible that way.

     

    Im very out of date with hardware, its not something I follow much unless I am planning on something. Is there limitations to a Ryzen system that would cause frustration? Or is it that the just dont have as much choice when it comes to the motherboard?

     

    Thanks for your reply. 

     

     

  9. Hello everyone,

     

    Thanks in advance for reading, and any help that you can provide.

     

    We are renovating our house top to bottom. With that I am planning on upgrading the home network and server to a rack mounted solution.

     

    I currently have an unraid server that is several years old, and I will likely just sell of the parts.

     

    I am looking to spend in the medium range of cost, not real cheap. But not on the highest end either.

     

    I am not super fussy about how many drives I use, my current system is 7TB over 3 drives and is almost full. So I would probably want to be in the 10-15TB range with some room to expand later. But not anything massive.

     

    I plan on running a couple of VM's - Home Assistant on linux, and Possibly a Windows VM for when I need it. I also run 4 dockers, and would like to continue doing that. NZBGet, Sonarr, Radarr and PiHole

     

    For the speed of the drives currently two of them are 5400, and the other is 7200 I do stream media from them, havent noticed any issues. So I assume more 5400's would be fine?

     

    I am way out of touch with what is current with MOBO's, processors etc. I read into supermicro, but there are so many options I am not sure which way is up with that. Or if it is even a good solution for me. I came across it when trying to learn about rackmounted enclosures. I havent purchased a rack yet, but I am kind of thinking that 2u might be enough space for what I want to do?

     

    I will be making most purchases online in Canada if that matters at all

     

    Thanks again for any suggestions.

  10. Hello everyone,

     

    I am curious what you guys think about my current build. Its probably about 8 years old now, and has served me very well.

    We are going to be a major home renovation in the next year, and I thought I would upgrade my unraid box as well. I will be upgrading my home network at the same time.

     

    The server will be/is used for:

    Media Storage - Played on a Kodi box

    Backup of photos and other digital media

    Docker: Sonarr, Radarr, NZBget, PiHole

    VM : Home Assistant - This is a recent addition

     

    I think that about captures its use. 

     

    My question is. Looking at my build, do you guys think I should/can upgrade some pieces, or should I start all over?

     

    M/B: Asrock 880GM-LE

    CPU: AMD Phenom II X3 705e @ 2500

    Memory 6GB

     

    Appreciate your input. Thanks

  11. Thanks so much for your help.

     

    I am working through various solutions.

     

    I have tried or confirmed:

    • all devices are using 'WORKGROUP'
    • installed Local Master Plugin - on reboot it had been my Kodi Machine, it is now NAS(My unraid machine)
    • Changed SMB extra to be the following:
    [global]
    security = USER
    guest account = nobody
    public = yes
    guest ok = yes
    map to guest = bad user
    ntlm auth = yes
    domain master = yes
    preferred master = yes
    os level = 255
    log level=2
    syslog=3

    After changing the settings shown above. I am now getting two red errors in my log:

     

    nas smbd[23620]: INTERNAL ERROR: Signal 11 in pid 23620 (4.5.10)

    and

    nas smbd[23620]: PANIC (pid 23620): internal error

     

    And the following 'Yellow' warnings:

    nas smbd[1486]: WARNING: The "null passwords" option is deprecated

    nas smbd[1486]: WARNING: The "syslog" option is deprecated

     

    I am going to keep looking into this, hoping someone recognizes the problem in the meantime

  12. Hi,

    Recently I noticed problems when trying to browse my Media user share from either my phone or my OSX computer.

     

    I started poking around today and noticed that its organized correctly when I view through the unraid web interface. 

    Also it is viewable through the AFP share on my Mac

    I cant view the same share through :

    1. OSX

    2.My android phone

    3. Windows 7 computer

    4. My librelec Kodi box

     

    So I am assuming something is wrong with my SMB sharing? I have tried rebooting, and enabling and disabling the NFS and SMB exports in the share settings.

    I cant even connect to the Unraid box though any of the previous devices - just my Mac and the AFP shares.

     

    Thanks for reading - any ideas?
