September 9, 2025Sep 9 Hi all, Was doing some digging and the closest I could find was a post in 2016 about using the Dynamix S3 Sleep Plugin. My concern is that the changelog shows it hasn't been updated since March 2023 and so I'm worried I might his some unexpected compatibility issues in using it with the latest Unraid OS especially since I don't have an Unraid Array but a ZFS Pool. I have 2 questions that are for different scenarios in what I'm facing:1. Is it possible to schedule the Unraid Server to begin shutting down at a scheduled time? Goal: Server turns on automatically at a scheduled time (BIOS/Wake on LAN), Once Unraid boots it starts the "Array", and then at a scheduled time Unraid shuts down the server2. Does anybody know of a way for Unraid to be brought to a Shutdown state while leaving the machine powered on? Goal: in the event It is discovered that there is no Wake on Lan function on motherboard, but only the "Power on" on power failure in the bios. Would it be possible for Unraid to Start all it's services (The "Array") and then at the scheduled time, Bring all services down where it is in nearly-off state as everything is down "Most importantly the ZFS Pool" and then Externally via a smart switch the power is cut off so that the next day at a scheduled time, the switch cuts on which triggers the bios to do a full power-on?In case anybody is wondering, this is for a 36 hard drive server that I don't have a free circuit-breaker power socket for along with a 1548Wh Backup-Battery system that for whatever strange reason only supports 400W input. So while powered on the battery slowly drains since it can't supply itself enough power by design. Since the server has 2 PSUs, this wasn't a issue as I originally planned on having it plugged into the wall for one and the battery for the other in case of power failure, but since I don't have a circuit that isn't already feeding high-power devices (Other servers and stuff I have), I'm stuck with plugging it through the battery while it shares the same circuit as the fridge 🙂.
