Ghost in my machine

Featured Replies

Hi there,

Over the past few weeks I have been dealing with growing issues on my Unraid machine... it seems like there is a ghost. Some of the problems include:

  • unable to access docker containers through tailscale (although tailscale seems to work on other machines just fine)

  • unable to change tailscale settings in a container -- after clicking apply, the old config persists, even after resetting

  • some containers do not include the "edit" button, so to make changes I have to remove and re-install

  • sometimes when clicking edit on one container, another containers settings are loaded

  • I cannot delete scripts in User Scripts

  • unbalanced will not load

  • there are some containers that simply do not work for me... perhaps this is user error, but a container like overseerr/seerr shouldn't be that hard to set up, and I have done so many times before.

  • docker does not turn off. In settings, if I turn it off, after clicking apply the page refreshes and the toggle is still on.

I will admit that I haven't tried much beyond fiddling with container settings, launching Fix Common Problems, and rebooting.

Some things that may or may not have led to this:

  • I used this guide to install ohmyzsh, but got an error mounting the image (mkdir -p /tmp/root mount -o loop /boot/root.img /tmp/root)

  • I installed a new cache drive and tried to migrate the contents of the old sata ssd to the new nvme. But at some point unbalanced stopped launching so there are a few files still on the old drive, despite its share settings pointing to the new drive.


Any help would be appreciated!

Given all the different issues, I would recommend nuking the Docker image and recreating it. You can re-add the containers from CA previous apps.

Sorry for the late response.

I just nuked the Docker image and reinstalled containers. Unfortunately, I am still having significant problems. All of the problems above are still present. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Note: while reinstalling some containers, a couple did not show up under Previous Apps, even though I am 100% sure they were installed previously. Once installed, those containers are not editable: clicking them gives access to WebUI but not the edit button.

Edit: my guess is that this doesn't have to do with Docker config, since it seems to affect many things outside the scope of Docker.

Including the missing edit button?

Yes. There are several containers that have a missing edit button. To change any setting I have to delete the container and reinstall it.

Try this for one of those containers:

  • click on it and "remove container"

  • then on the Docker page, click "Add Container."

  • click on "template," scroll down to the "user-templates" section, look for the template for that container, and re-add it

See if that brings the edit button back.

Those earlier diagnostics suggests some flash corruption at some time. Maybe your docker templates were part of that.

Those you can't edit may have to be reinstalled as new, but if you make them as before they should work as before assuming their appdata is still there.

I just tried this. I deleted a container, but after clicking "add container" the template was not listed under "user-templates". I had many familiar templates available but not the one I had just deleted, which was one of the ones that was missing an "edit" button.

Edit: something I have noticed is that the containers that are missing an "edit" button and have this issue of not showing up in the templates, are new containers, ever since I started having this issue about a month ago. Part of me feels like this is a permissions issue since it seems like there are just so many settings throughout my system that do not get applied. I check a box, hit apply, and the box is unchecked. Being unable to turn off Docker is one example of many.

Another example: I cannot edit any scripts in User Scripts. Saving does nothing -- when I re-open the script my edits are unchanged.

If the user template is not showing, that is why the edit button is missing, if you create a new container, does it create the user template? If not, there may be a flash drive issue.

Correct: building a new container does not add it to the user templates. I will try a new flash drive and see if that does anything.

It turns out my flash drive went into read-only mode. Replacing it has fixed almost all of the problems, but some are still persisting. I think I should be able to work out the rest on my own, but if I have any difficulties with anything outstanding I'll make a new thread. Thanks for all of your help!
