rbmatt1s Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Hi, i'm running UNRAID 6.11.5. I had 2 250 GB SSDs in my Cache pool and they were consistently filling up. So I followed this procedure: I replaced the drives with 2 1TB SSDs, formatted them, adjusted the shares to use the cache, then ran mover. When I went to turn the docker containers back on, they were gone, and I realize I made a fatal mistake. I missed step 3 in the initial protocol: "Settings -> Docker: disable Docker and click apply" What should I do to undo the damage I've done, rebuilding every docker container from scratch would be very painful. I have the two 250 GB cache drives sitting next to the machine right now. I could reinstall them, but I would like advice before I make matters any worse. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 The docker image can be easily recreated, but you might also be missing some appdata content, do you have an appdata backup? Quote Link to comment
rbmatt1s Posted November 24, 2022 Author Share Posted November 24, 2022 I have the appdata and appdata backups, but how do i restore them? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Stop the docker service and copy from the appdatabackup folder to appdata, you can use midnight commander or the dynamix file explorer Quote Link to comment
rbmatt1s Posted November 24, 2022 Author Share Posted November 24, 2022 okay i think it's restoring. Quote Link to comment
rbmatt1s Posted November 24, 2022 Author Share Posted November 24, 2022 okay, so i ran the restore feature, but it didn't work, now I see this: Docker still shows this What should I try next? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Did you recreate the docker image? Quote Link to comment
rbmatt1s Posted November 24, 2022 Author Share Posted November 24, 2022 How do I get the cache drives not disabled? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Didn't see that part but that's not why it's not working, to fix it: Stop the array, stop Docker/VM services, unassign all cache devices, start array to make Unraid "forget" current cache config, stop array, reassign all cache devices (there can't be an "All existing data on this device will be OVERWRITTEN when array is Started" warning for any cache device), re-enable Docker/VMs services, start array.

rbmatt1s Posted November 25, 2022 Author Share Posted November 25, 2022 Okay, I'm paddling back to shore. I got the Cache Drives functioning. Mover is moving the contents back to the cache drives. When mover is complete, do I need to recreate the docker image, run CA restore v2, or copy the appdatabackup folder or some combo? Quote Link to comment

Solution JorgeB Posted November 25, 2022 Solution Share Posted November 25, 2022 You also need to re-add the apps, basically follow the instructions from the screenshot you posted above. Quote Link to comment
rbmatt1s Posted November 25, 2022 Author Share Posted November 25, 2022 1) I set appdata, backups, system, and Transcode to "Prefer:Cache" 2) I am running mover 3) when mover finishes, the appdata folder should be full of the app data from disk3. So at that point, I just go to "Apps"->"Previous Apps"->"Select All on Page"->"install 13 selected applications." (I don't need to run Restore Appdata because the appdata that mover moves over is already the most current appdata, I didn't lose the app data and have to recreate it from the backup tar.gz.) Then after I install the 13 selected applications, just reboot the server and I should see all the apps in the Docker tab, yes? Quote Link to comment
rbmatt1s Posted November 25, 2022 Author Share Posted November 25, 2022 i think it's working again. 1 Quote Link to comment
