wgstarks Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 (edited) Not really sure exactly what’s happening. Lost all access to the server and had to reboot via IPMI since I’m accessing remotely over VPN. Now I can only access the server using the local IP. The LE address just results in “server cannot be found”. brunnhilde-diagnostics-20230311-1820.zip Edited March 11, 2023 by wgstarks Quote Link to comment
wgstarks Posted March 13, 2023 Author Share Posted March 13, 2023 This is still a problem so I don't think its LE having some transient issue. Not sure but it may have started with the MFA upgrade. Quote Link to comment
wgstarks Posted March 16, 2023 Author Share Posted March 16, 2023 Looks like this issue has finally resolved itself. Not because of anything I did though. Guessing LT is still making changes behind the scenes. Or maybe it really was an issue with let’s encrypt. Quote Link to comment
wgstarks Posted March 17, 2023 Author Share Posted March 17, 2023 Out again. I'm not sure what I gain from using myunraid.net? Seems to have a lot of issues and very little support. I think it's time to delete it and that'll be one less headache. 1 Quote Link to comment
ljm42 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 The myunraid.net URL is an optional feature that allows you to access your server via an https URL without any browser warnings. In order to work, your server and web browsers need a solid connection to a DNS server which can resolve a local IP address for the domain name. You don't want to use this solution if your Internet drops regularly, because if the Internet is down then the DNS lookup will fail. When your browser is reporting "server cannot be found" that means at that moment the DNS server your client is using is unable to resolve the domain name to an IP address. The most likely cause is that either the DNS server your clients are using is flaky or your Internet connection is flaky. To rule out an issue with your DNS server running at 10.0.1.1, I would point the server and your clients to 8.8.8.8. If there are still intermittent issues then there is likely an Internet connection problem. Admittedly, there is also the chance the issue could be on our end with our authoritative DNS server. We do occasionally have issues setting up new servers, but I've not seen any issues once domains have been setup. If you make the changes above and continue to have issues, PM me your full hash.myservers.unraid.net URL and I'll see if it resolves for me. Note that uninstalling the My Servers plugin will have no effect on the url used to access your server as this is a feature of the base OS not the plugin. If you would like to disable the myunraid.net url for your server see https://wiki.unraid.net/My_Servers#How_to_disable_SSL_for_local_access Quote Link to comment
ljm42 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 You mentioned having issues over VPN. The same advice applies - your client still needs to be able to access a reliable DNS server. If you are using Unraid's built-in WireGuard client then be sure to set the "Peer DNS server" to something like 8.8.8.8 and not your local router. TBH though, if you already have a secure VPN connection, then there is less of a need for SSL. So accessing the server via IP address is probably fine. Quote Link to comment

Thanks. I actually had that prior to this implementation by just adding my self-signed certificate to the keychain on the machine(s) I use to access the server. I can’t do any testing right now since I just finished disassembling my entire network as part of a move but will see how it’s working once it’s all setup again. Quote Link to comment
