sleep button works for me, so I think routine for checking drives inactivity when you set autosleep is broken and that fix from darkside40 should solve it (I didn't have time to try it once more today)

I should go into /config/plugins/dynamix.s3.sleep on flash drive and copy dynamix.s3.sleep.txz into my local machine right? Extract it and go into dynamix.s3.sleep/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.s3.sleep/scripts/ modify s3_sleep file (comment out 3 lines and add condition (lines 232-236) and modify version at the top then compress top dynamix.s3.sleep folder and put it back into /config/plugins/dynamix.s3.sleep on flash drive and modify checksum that i get from "md5sum dynamix.s3.sleep.txz" and change it in header of /config/plugins/dynamix.s3.sleep.plg file and that is all? I just written what I did. Hopefully I didnþt missed any step? Thanks for lot of feedback, I will give it another try tomorrow.

ok, now there is no longer even sleep button... so I guess it is safe to assume, it would not work for me right?

oh its just md5sum command on linux? that should be easy then

maybe noob question but how do I calculate it?

Hi, firstly sorry, I thought I answered you already. Thanks for response. I tried to comment out those three lines and change the condition, then put it back into .txz file (zipped it and then with xz I turned it into .txz). Sadly, I haven't found what to change in that .plg file and it doesn't show version 3.0.6.1. (added it into commentaries at the top of s3_sleep file). File that you attached to that post is no longer available, so if you could upload it for me again it would be great . Thanks once again for respoding, I already though it wouldn't get answer.

Hello, I have installed S3 Sleep a while ago (almost 2 months now) and my Unraid never went to sleep as far as I know. My config plugin config is in the attached screen. I also have running duckdns and OpenVPN docker container (I think that might be the problem?). No idea, to be honest, but I would like to use the sleep mode (it consumes around 75 Watts). Also I am wondering if its possible to wake it up over VPN or at all? But I doubt it.

ah, thx... I wasnt sure what to do, coz when I consoled into unraid with putty/webconsole "ls" showed nothing... but when I did "cd /mnt/cache/appdata" I managed to find config file

I still have problem - to be exact with 4th step. I opened containers console, went to config/etc, but now I cannot edit that file (or have no idea how to do it since there is no nano or vim).

ye found it there, thx The "admin" account is a system (PAM) account and after container update or recreation, its password reverts back to the default. It is highly recommended to block this user's access for security reasons: 1. Create another user and set as an admin, 2. Log in as the new user, 3. Delete the "admin" user in the gui, 4. Modify the as.conf file under config/etc and replace the line boot_pam_users.0=admin with #boot_pam_users.0=admin boot_pam_users.0=kjhvkhv (this only has to be done once and will survive container recreation) IMPORTANT NOTE: Commenting out the first pam user in as.conf creates issues in 2.7.5. To make it work while still blocking pam user access, uncomment that line and change admin to a random nonexistent user as described above.

I followed this video, and there he only sets up user password but not changing admin

Hello, I managed to set it up correctly, but I am wondering if there is a way to change admin password. I tried it from web gui -> user management, but password never changed. Is there any way to change it? Or should I change it at all?

Hello, would be nice if you updated first post with the new guide I was pretty confused (some things worked really differently)

Thanks a lot guys, a lot of very useful information and advices. This should help me a lot.

I tried some SFTP dockers (and after a little bit of thinkering with them I just removed them) and also duckdns (that one is the only one currently running). Also I assigned all my drives as first thing when I started configuring unraid, so the cache is there from very beggining, therefore dockers should be there by default. I will have to check it when I arrive home.

Can someone also give advice regarding that second part please? Sadly I do not have a lot of time to play with unraid at home, but I can discuss ideas at work .

When I was deciding on OS for my NAS, I came across similar setups and people recommended FreeNAS -> you can make more "pools" (it is called vdev or something along those lines I think) there, so you can make one pool from 16 TB drives and another with 4 TB drives. Depends on how many parity disks you want to have and also how many you plan to have overall. If you would end up with 3x 16 TB, 3x 4 TB and 2 parity drives you can go with one pool with 16 TB drives (and 1 parity) and second pool with 4 TB drives (1 of them parity). In case like this you would have to use 2 of 16 TB drives for parity with unraid. When you are deciding on what software to use, you should consider what setup suits you best in terms of lost capacity to parity.

and what about plugins? do they install just straight to the RAM and just some kind of record in config file? or maybe usb stick?

and they are there by default? or is there any configuration needed

that is good point also do you know if 120 GB ssd cache is good idea, when I am bottlenecked by Glan anyway? only good reason to have it, that comes to my mind, is if I upload files there and edit them, I edit them on cache disk and then when I am finished editing them, they flush to HDD array and blocks are written sequentially without data being interrupted by editting them right after uploading also I am going to be using it atm mainly for long term storage, not as editting server or something

Hello, I build my NAS (unraid server but main use as NAS) couple of days ago, but I still need some clarification on how things work. First of all, I have 6x 6 TB drives (2 for parity) and one m.2 sata SSD 120 GB (25 €). From what I found, it seems with basic license, I can use just 6 drives, so I am considering unassinging ssd drive (license to add it is the similar to drives value, also I am gonna be limited by 1 gbit lan). Question is if I can just remove it from array (after using mover) or do I need to do anything special? Drive seems to have used 20 GB all the time and that is the part that bothers me a little. Also can I use this "(soon to be) unassigned" drive in VMs or something? What is the best way to access my shares from outside of my private network? I was trying some sftp dockers and forwarding port on my router with duckdns as domain to access it, but unsuccessfully. Then I found some OpenVPN guide and it looked like it should be the way to go, but haven't tried it yet. Also I have issues with S3 sleep plugin (havent found support thread yet, so I am just going to ask here). So far I left just duckdns container running, no one was using NAS and I have scheduled mover and ssd trim into "awake hours". In the morning, when server should have been asleep, it was running. Also what if I want to use server while its asleep? Is there any way to wake it up?
