December 28, 2025Dec 28 I've been having issues with my setup for about a month or so now, I thought it was an external ethernet connection but I was able to get it to run (somewhat) regularly, but now I'm getting somewhat frequent errors, such as random disconnects when accessing drives through SMB, as well as GUI HTTP 500 errors, as well as my Docker containers missing whenever I reboot my server. I'm thinking it may be my USB drive, but I ran a chkdsk on it on my Windows machine and it came back fine. I formatted + reinstalled Unraid as well but still having issues. Not sure what troubleshooting I should do next. Diag attached. tower-diagnostics-20251228-1433.zip

December 28, 2025Dec 28 Community Expert Looks like you have disabled user shares and are trying to rely on disk shares instead. Why?And your docker.cfg hasDOCKER_IMAGE_FILE="/mnt/user/system/docker/docker.img"Since you don't have user shares, that path is in RAM. So won't survive reboot.I always recommend not sharing disks and using user shares instead.

I need to properly set up user shares, just haven't gotten to it yet, that's next on my list once I've figured out the other issues.Any idea on the HTTP 500 errors and the random SMB disconnects? I can still access whichever Dockers are running, but I'm getting that HTTP 500 error loop and the disk shares have been disconnecting, simultaneously it seems.
