December 1, 20223 yr Bit of background, so energy prices in the UK are frankly ridiculous at the moment, so I've decided to start shutting the server down overnight when no ones watching Plex to see if it makes a significant difference to my bills. I'm currently using the Dynamix Sleep plugin to shut the server down between midnight - 10am Sunday - Thursday. There's a script that runs about 5 minutes before this that pauses all my docker containers, then the plug in shuts my server down. Then at 10am my bios has a 'power on by RTC' selected for 10am, and another script runs 10 minute after that to check the Docker containers started/are unpaused. My board is an Asus Z-590-E Gaming with an i5-10400. I've gone through my bios and ensured that the likes of Fast Boot/MRC Fast Boot are disabled, however the server still occassionally doesn't start up properly on a restart. It won't respond to a ping, returning a "destination Host Unreachable" and the GUI will not load, meaning I have to short press the power button on the front and reboot it again. I normally do this with a keyboard and monitor plugged in and it will POST and then start Unraid without issue. Tuesday and yesterday it worked fine without any intervention from myself, however today it hasn't come up properly. Is there anything in particular I should be looking at that could stop this happening? It seems, through internet searches, that I have most of the correct options selected in bios settings, but is there anything I can check in Unraid or look for in the logs?
