DNS not working after new ip. Login timeout before i cant type password.

[sbeckeriv]

Hello,

 

I did a hot swap of wifi networks. the new wifi network uses different ip ranges. I go to the ip and it redirects to the "https://....64.unraid.net" domain.

1) how can i fix the dns?

2) I have a monitor attached to the box. It wants me to login as root. I cant type my very login complex password within 60 seconds. I can ssh to the box. can i update the login password over ssh?

 

any advice or other ways to get around this would be helpful!

Thanks

 

I dont really want to wipe my password files. I found that help article.

I found this

about editing the file. I am currently trying to locate the disk in ssh.

 

thanks

 

it was under boot. i didnt scroll far enough to see that.

 

I am waiting for the reboot. I would still like to understand how to fix the https dns issue.

ok! updating boot/config file in the other post work with a reboot! firefox doesnt love http. https://IP worked after telling me the cert was bad. http://ip went to the hash again!

I logged in to the unraid.net service, i was logged out. I found the setting to update the dns.

 

This now works.

 

i would ask that this be doable via ssh or even some kind of trigger if the ip changes? 

 

I will now update my password to something I can type.

 

thanks for following along!

You didn't mention what version of Unraid you are on, but the DNS *should* update automatically when it changes. 

 

If something like this happens again, you can use these tips to get into the webgui:

Version: 6.9.2 is my version of unraid. I am updating soon.  should the localTld work even if dns is working?

If your question is about the previous link, note that it had different instructions for 6.9 and 6.10. The 6.9 section did not talk about a url using the localTLD.

 

If this is a new question... in 6.10 you can have both https://servername.localTLD (with a self-signed cert) and https://hash.unraid.net (with an official Lets Encrypt cert), depending on your settings for "Use SSL/TLS".
