March 5, 201610 yr Hello Everyone, I am doing a system rebuild and I am curious on what happens when I change cache disks and what happens to my dockers. I know the first step is to take an image of all the disk locations before the move so you can put them back in the same location. However, not a 100% sure what I am suppose to do with the docker image. Currently have 2-240GB a 1-60GB SSDs as cache. The new system will have 2-240GB and 2-120GB SSDs. Is it as simple as just copying the image over or is there something else I need to do? Thanks.
March 5, 201610 yr Author It is as simple as that (along with copying over your app data share) Oh sweet, liking unRaid more and more. My app share is on the array so I should be good. Thanks.

You realize that keeps your array drive(s) spun up all the time for your app share vs putting it on your cache drive so the array drive(s) can spin down.... Myk
March 5, 201610 yr You don't even need the Docker image, all you really need is the app data and the same USB stick. When you setup Docker and add containers again, the template drop-down will have my-xxx listed where xxx are the Dockers you have previously installed. You can just pick each one and install it. As for the array. When you transfer the same disks to the new hardware, the disks get picked-up again and re-assigned like they were. It's a good idea to take a screen image just in case, but the array should just keep working.

Would I be able to move the appdata to the cache after the move and have the /config in the dockers point to the new location?
March 5, 201610 yr Yep.. Just make sure the share is set to use cache only to stop it from being moved back onto the parity protected array.
