Hello all ✌

Completely new to Unraid. I had tried OMV and Rockstor before Unraid. I installed it to USB and booted it in the guest network on my desk. Satisfied with a login page, I configured root password, added pool.ntp.org and then went and unplugged it (no graceful shutdown) and moved it to plug it into my LAN headlessly. Since, it gets an IP, but there's no webGUI reachable on it. I have reset power 20 times over and nothing changes. SSH is not running by default I suppose because I can't reach it.

I use a small protectli VP3230 on coreboot. Anyone have any pointers to help me get this show on the road? Am I missing something essential pertaining networking? Is moving it or unplugging the network cable not permitted once it's installed perhaps, which I cannot imagine? It also seems to loose it's IP assignment when I configure a static IP on openWRT with a 5min lease. Unraid was setup with DHCP. So, not a great start, but I'm positive this is all me and not the software 😄. Any do's and don'ts welcome.

Thanks everyone

The first thing that I can think of is are you sure you have the correct IP address. If your server has more than one Ethernet jack and you plugged it into a different jack you will have a different IP address.

Your hint of ports was all I needed to realize I had the Ethernet jack plugged into the RJ45 COM Port! Wow, this is embarrassing. 🫣 The Etherent ports are right next to that, quite easy to plug in the wrong one, when you turn the device around and work mirrored. Anyway, thanks for your patience... I should've caught this myself though.
