Hmm, seems like my Windows 11 box is the culprit. Wonder what's what here but it looks like it's not an unRaid issue after all...

per a reddit thread I ran iperf with my unRaid as server and my windows box as client. Here are the results: Unraid dashboard indicates it's registered full gig duplex, so does this mean my switch might be at fault? What to check from here?

I have a Gig local network. All devices are routed through gig connections. There is a dumb switch in the middle. My server a cache pool with 2 SSDs totaling 378gb, with a minimum of ~90 used for appdata and docker. For as long as I can remember using the cache drives has ensured transfer speeds as expected. I don't do many transfers from my Windows 11 box to the server, maybe once per week on average. Today I transferred some files over to a cached share, each being between 30-50mb. Normally files of this size and type wouldn't even trigger the Windows Explorer transfer dialog box as they'd be near instant. This time it did and it caught my attention. I noted all transferred seemed to cap out ~12 MB/s. I then tried copying some files from my array to the Windows machine, and those transferred peaked ~11 MB/s. I then transferred some other small files to a different share and saw speeds from 8-10 MB/s. I have Netdata container installed, and some other dashboard types as well. But to be honest, I haven't put the time in yet to learn to interpret Netdata's output. I'm really at a loss troubleshooting. Could it be a problem with the an SSD in the cache pool? Something in the switch I should be checking? Are there numbers I can grab from Netdata or another monitor to help identify the bottleneck? The only thing I have changed in the config this week was creating a custom network for Docker and moving all my containers over to it. Can that have something to do with it? Any guidance on what to troubleshoot would be greatly appreciated. I'm attaching my diagnostics .zip. Please let me know if any other logs are needed and I will oblige. mootower-diagnostics-20220507-2047.zip

I'm so dumb. It will not start after the chmod. I still had it using HOST, so it starts but will not load the webUI in HOST. In BRIDGE I still get the SERVER ERROR immediately after trying to start the container.

Spoke too soon. It starts and runs now. However, I do not get the webUI when I open it. Instead I get a page with the following text only: {"status":"OK","version":{"major":2,"minor":9,"revision":18}}

That seems to have fixed it for me also! Thanks!

I'm still unable to start Grafana with the same error. I tried switching to HOST and it actually starts, but stops shortly after with the following error: logger=server t=2022-04-16T22:41:00.79-0400 lvl=eror msg="Server shutdown" error="*api.HTTPServer run error: failed to open listener on address 0.0.0.0:3000: listen tcp 0.0.0.0:3000: bind: address already in use"

After a reboot it was indeed assigned another 172. I changed the bind to 127.0.0.1 as suggested and it's working great! thanks again! Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

I'll keep that in mind and maybe test after a reboot. I did move it into a folder and down in the boot order and it is still working.

I got it to work by setting it to listen to the 172.xxx domain in the config.yml, and then set up my cloudflare/Nginx to point to the server's port on the 192.xxx.

I'm trying to self-host a discord bot. I am using the instructions on their Dockerhub page. I am able to map the correct paths and have the config.yml file updated with my variables. However, I don't seem to have the port/address mapping correct, as it will not connect. In the container log it just keeps repeating an error like "bind: cannot assign requested address". Is this a simple misconfiguration that I can correct? Or have I bit off more than I can chew in terms of setting this up with my lack of Docker knowledge? Attached are the unRaid container log, the HTTP snippet of my config.yml, and the status from the unRaid Docker tab

I'm not able to start Grafana container on Unraid 6.9.2 after install. It immediately fails with an "Execution Error: Server Error" and doesn't generate any logs. I'm using the below defaults, but swapping in my server IP after the "http://" in the Key 1 field. I do not have any other containers using port 3000.

Thank you, but that is $100 more than my budget listed above. If money were not an issue I would probably go with it, though, due to it's popularity on here.

The meter has a max watt mode. That is where I got the reading. The meter is a kuman KW47-US. It was the recommended one on Amazon. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

I booted the server while plugged in to the meter and also performed a reboot. Specs are: - 3.5 HDD x 8 - SSD x 2 - Xeon E3 1246 Haswell - Supermicro MBD-X10SLHFO uATX - 16gb ECC DDR3 - AOC-SASLP-MV8 Supermicro Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Really good tip, thanks! Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

That’s an excellent idea, thanks! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Not at all. I was looking for guidance on what level of protection I needed to be shopping for in a replacement. I didn't quite understand how a UPS functions and wasn't considering all scenarios. It has been explained to me as well as how to estimate and what to factor in. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

I don't understand. Why wouldn't I order a replacement battery if I already have an otherwise functioning UPS? Could you rephrase?

Thanks for breaking it down for me. I've noticed that in order to get more outlets I was ending up around or above 1000VA anyway. I've seen units with 5+5 and 6+4. Hopefully APC makes something with 8+? Otherwise it's a dealbreaker since that is the minimum devices needed to maintain internet/Ooma landline. Although I could get by with a 6+4 if I ditch the WiFi. In all likelihood you're right and I won't find anything consumer grade with more than 6+4. In that case I'll have to use both a new unit and my current BE550G for the lower draw items. Thanks again for all the input!

After 2.5 days My server’s max draw was 164.4 watts. I’ve gone ahead and ordered an APC replacement battery for my BE550G. I need something asap and don’t have the funds to upgrade at the moment. Ideally I’d like to upgrade in the near future. I’ll be looking for a unit with at least 7 battery outlets. This is so I can also run basic internet gear and Ooma for landline after the server shuts down. I’m testing each piece with the meter but estimate about 70 watts for the WiFi & phone. I’m including the modem, router, switch, Ooma, landline base, and WiFi AP (RJ45 w/ power injector). Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I'm looking for a case upgrade. I currently have 2xNorco SS-500 in a modified old tower. There is no room for more drives or GPU, and cable management is horrible. I have a FD Define R4 available, but unfortunately i lost the upper 5 bay drive cage long ago. I contacted FD and they no longer have any stock of replacements. I also don't know how to go about modifying the R4 to fit the Norcos. that said I'm looking for a new case that meets one of the following criteria: 1) 10+ HDD via stock mounting 2) Easily modified to accommodate 2xNorco SS-500 hot swap bays AND meets both of the below: 3) Price at $150 USD or less (don't know if this is a pipe dream) 4) Vertical tower style (i.e. not a rack mount) Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

Here are the results. Are they way out of line with expected?

I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this further. Specifically, if this is a bad HDD, bad controller, bad cable, or simply a bad connection. I will open it up and make sure the cables are all firmly seated, as I did relocate the server about 1.5 months ago. If I determine this needs replaced, is the LSI SAS 9200-8i a solid choice?

Don't know if this change fixed it, but the file has successfully moved into the Array.
