April 16, 20242 yr My Unraid server has been running for some months now without hiccup. Last night I tried installing linuxserver's DuckDNS docker but somehow it crashes the web GUI. I was still able to access the files, so I thought maybe the crash will go away by itself. This morning when I checked, the web GUI spits out "The connection has timed out", the kind of error you see when you mistyped a website's url, even after I triple-checked that the tower's ip address is correct. I completely lost access to the GUI. Instead of hooking a monitor to the tower and do `powerdown`, my foolish past-self shut the PSU down. Now that usb stick won't boot anymore; it's stuck on the BIOS screen. I tried installing a fresh Unraid on a fresh USB and it successfully boots. I read somewhere as long as you assign the drives on their correct slots the parity would build itself, problem is I never took screenshot of my drives configuration (now I know I should've). I also read somewhere that you can copy the config folder from the old stick to the new one. I tried this, but doing so freezes the new stick on BIOS screen as well. What's my best next step here? If possible at all I'd rather repair my old usb stick because I don't want to gamble assigning my drives on the new stick... Any helps would be much appreciated.
