I started the update about 30 min. ago and it's still on "writing flash drive - please wait..." It's never taken this long before. I can't get to the Unraid GUI but the dockers still work as I can reach Emby and Channels. I don't want to just pull the plug to restart, but I'm not sure how to gracefully shut down an update. Any suggestions?

I'm by no means an expert in Docker let alone Docker Compose. An opensource DAM I use, Resourcespace, has just released a Docker version of their software. I'd like to move away from a VM and use docker instead. Is there anyone well versed who can make heads or tales of their instructions and provide instructions to get it working in Unraid? https://www.resourcespace.com/knowledge-base/systemadmin/install_docker The other trick is I need to be able to import a MySQL database into the dockerized version.

I've been using the Docker Compose version of Immich since before an Unraid app became available. Now that there is one that seems stable, supported, and in SpaceInvaderOne's repository, is it better to go that route and move my database over?

I'm trying to keep the directory inaccessible from random people thus the need for a user and password similar to smb. Is there a way to do this with virtiofs but as an executable script instead of a line in fstab? I could then have the script execute on boot.

Okay., maybe I'm missing it, but is there a way to mount a virtiofs share through fstab in an Ubuntu VM? I also want the directory only accessed with a specific user and password. Thanks.

A location I have Unraid has Zscaler which requires a valid email and password. This is causing some issues with downloading apps or doing Unraid updates. I want to try authorizing the machine using an email and password to see if that fixes the problem. I saw some old posts that no longer work installing text-based browsers (Lynx, Links, etc.) in the console. Does anyone have an updated guide/post on how to do this?

Any word on when the docker will be updated to 4.8.80?

A relatively new drive (maybe 3 years old) is going into error state. This is the second time its done it, though a SMART report says the drive is fine. The email alert I get says "Parity disk - WDC_WD80EMAZ-00WJTA0_7HJY3P8F (sdf) (errors 166)" and then it's shut down. I can't tell if the drive is actually dying, if it's a bad cable, or something else. Can anyone help me diagnose the problem? I've attached my diagnostic ZIP. I appreciate the help. Thanks. buhmonte-server-diagnostics-20240130-1319.zip

This rack mount case is really decent for the current sale price of $249 on NewEgg. My only suggestion is buy some higher quality SATA cables as the ones that come with it aren't great. https://www.newegg.com/rosewill-rsv-l4412u-black/p/N82E16811147330

I currently have Unraid running on an Intel i7-9700k and am using the integrated GPU for transcoding Emby. I'm upgrading one of my PC's and am wondering if I move its GTX 1650 into Unraid if I would see better performance in transcoding?

Is there a way to still connect to my Unraid server locally via IP even with Unraid Connect active? Once UC is active I can only connect via its URL; the IP address gives me an error. Thanks.

Ever since that first reboot it hasn't happened again and normal reboots work fine, so maybe it was a fluke. I did have to format the cache drive to fix the appdata error. As of right now everything is working fine.

Yesterday I installed a Crucial 1TB M.2 SSD to run my appdata dir from. I moved the appdata dir, changed the configuration in share and everything seemed to be running fine. However, ever since then I've been having problems with Unraid. First the system will no longer do a clean shutdown, and in fact it reboot on its own this morning around 8AM. (System log attached.) I have the Fix Common Problems plugin installed and it's showing that appdata is set to cache when it's not. I even ran the mover to make sure nothing was left on the cache drive. Yet farther down in the Fix Common Problems plugin it's showing that appdata is set to Crucial (the M.2) yet the dir remains on the cache. I used the console and the appdata dir does exist on cache but it's empty. I even looked for hidden files. I then tried to force remove the dir using rm -r but am getting the error 'rm: cannot remove 'appdata': Device or resource busy'. Fix Common Problems is also showing Machine Check Events detected on your server, but the plugin it wants me to install isn't available because I'm on 6.12.4 so I can't check that log. Any idea what's up and how I can resolve these issues? I really appreciate any insight/help. buhmonte-server-syslog-20231007-1540.zip

I have my appdata on an M.2 SSD. Should I have the transcode dir for my media server on that, too, or should I configure it to use the traditional SSD? Which will produce better results? Thanks.

I have an Intel Core i7-9700K with 32GB RAM.

Will converting dockers to folders from images speed up their load time? Right now I have 15-20 docker containers on an SSD and it takes a good 10 min for them all to load.

Trying to install and I came across an issue with the version number. It says if you just enter the main version number (e.g. 9, 10, 11) that the latest version of that release will download. That doesn't happen, at least for me. I have to manually enter the version number (e.g. 11.309) to get it to install.

Does anyone know what this directory is? I don't have any docker associated with this directory. Is it safe to remove, or is it needed by Unraid?

Here's what it shows. Is there any way to narrow down? A week ago it was sitting at 400GB or so.

I'm having a bit of an issue with Unraid and my cache drive. In the Unraid GUI it shows I only have 157GB free. However, when I run du -hs * /mnt/cache when adding up the totals it doesn't match. Any ideas on how I can find what is taking up all the space, or is this a possible bug in Unraid 6.12.4?

Well I feel stupid, though in my defense the official container info was wrong so I don't feel quite as stupid. Thanks.

I'm trying to restore a database backup in the Unraid terminal using the command shown in the support section: docker exec -i MariaDB-Official sh -c 'exec mysql -uroot -p"YOUR_ROOT_PASSWORD"' < /mnt/user/Backups/all-databases.sql However I'm getting the following error: sh: 1: exec: mysql: not found Any idea how to fix this and get the database imported? Thank you.

I'm mostly looking at NewEgg and the more expensive, higher watt ones, seem to have 2-star ratings.

I'm looking for a rack mountable UPS for server running on a 600W PSU. Most of the UPS's I'm finding are upright (highly rated) or rack mountable (poorly rated). Any suggestions for a good quality UPS that is rack mountable and won't break the bank?

So I just discovered this which is interesting. If I am on the plugins page the system can't find any updates and I see the error, however if I go into the plugin itself it finds the update and can do it.
