DOCKER, VMS, APPS and TOOLS tabs missing


Recommended Posts

I am new to this forum and I am a complete rookie when it comes to Unraid.  I am a network engineer/architect and all of my expertise comes on that side of the house.  I bought this server from a friend and have had to do very little to it over the last year and a half.  I use it exclusively to stream my private video library on the plex app.  As I understand it the Plex is a docker (please forgive me for my ignorance).  I recently had some issues that I thought I had resolved.  (I had to make some configuration changes on my router to ensure that remote access worked consistently  - I made sure that my router is always looking for a specific ip if/when things go down.) Yesterday I was not able to see my movies on Plex so I attempted to go to my Unraid dashboard.  Usually when I put the IP address into the search bar it comes up within 1-2 seconds (my internet connection is 500+).  Now it is taking 30-60 seconds to bring the dashboard up.  The top bar usually shows DASHBOARD, MAIN, SHARES, USERS, SETTINGS, PLUGINS, DOCKER, VMS, APPS, TOOLS.  Right now all it is showing is DASHBOARD, MAIN, SHARES, USERS, SETTINGS, PLUGINS.  The other problem is that nothing shows up under any of those tabs.  The Dash usually shows a lot of information.  Main shows all of my disks.  See picture below.  I have 13 disks with 12TB on each.  My first thought is to shut the power off to the server and give it some time to go down and then restart.  However, that makes me nervous as I don't know the possible repercussions of that action.  Should I shut it off manually?  Will I lose all of my data if I do that?  If that is not the first step can I get some advice on troubleshooting?

 

I apologize if I am not asking the right questions or if I am not framing them correctly.  If you need additional information I am happy to try and get it.  As I stated I am a total rookie and this is definitely not my field, or my skill set.  I am very willing to learn and I hope that this forum will be a good place to do that.  Thank you in advance for bearing with my ignorance and for any help that you can give me.
