September 4, 20169 yr My second unRaid build is going terribly. I'm thinking it would be better to just start over. The array has no data on it yet. Can someone tell me if that is an option? My plan was just to reformat the USB key with unRaid and reinstall a clean download and register using the same key. I'm not sure if I have to do anything to the drives. Reformat? Basically I have no idea what I am doing with dockers -- I've been trying for two days to get two dockers working and made a mess of things so would just like a clean slate.
September 4, 20169 yr If you really want to, there's a wiki section about that -> Starting Over The first section shows the various other files on the flash drive, and helps you decide whether you want to keep them, since there's usually no need to completely start over. Might as well start with your network settings at least. As to the drives, no need to format them unless you want to. The data and shares will still be there, and available.
September 4, 20169 yr Author Perfect. Thanks. My first unRaid was pretty easy to get going. This one has turned into a train-wreck. It just doesn't seem right and since it is just a bunch of empty disks with two dockers (either of which work) and few plugins I think I'm better off just starting fresh.

I hope this catches you in time. Before you "start over" I doubt that your docker "playing" has messed up the core unRAID config or setup. Great thing about docker is it's "easy as" to start from scratch without impacting the rest of unRAID. Especially if you don't care about the app data already generated. Just stop docker in settings. Then delete ALL the generated folders and docker image. What are you struggling with? Do you have a cache drive? Which apps are you trying to install? Let us try and help you!
September 4, 20169 yr Author Basically I've been trying to get PlexServer (linuxserver) and binhex-delugevpn (binhex) going first. PlexServer I finally got it to work except for remote access. I don't think that is a docker issue but for some reason port forwarding is just not working. Deluge I can't get it to download at a decent speed. My main reason for wanting to start over was that previous settings kept showing up even after I deleted the docker and reinstalled. Also on my first unRaid the appdata directory does not show up as a share when I browse from Windows but on my second one it does which makes me think I did something wrong somewhere. At one point I got a warning from Common Problems about my appdata I also typed initconfig which I had hoped would be like the Windows 10 feature of just starting fresh and it wasn't but I also don't know what it did and if that is recoverable from. Since I'm not physically in the same location as the unRaid machine I tried removing both dockers, stopping the docker system, deleting docker.img and then deleting everything in appdata. I'm since installed Deluge again but still only getting 100k downloads on top torrents and 0 on pretty much everything else.
September 4, 20169 yr What do you do the port forward on? ISP router, pfsense or other firewall/router?
September 4, 20169 yr I also typed initconfig which I had hoped would be like the Windows 10 feature of just starting fresh and it wasn't but I also don't know what it did and if that is recoverable from. initconfig was probably not a good idea! It basically wiped all of your drive assignments away! I'm sure you know this, but it's not a good idea to try running unknown and dangerous commands, just to see what they do!
September 4, 20169 yr Author What do you do the port forward on? ISP router, pfsense or other firewall/router? Sophos UTM I have a DNAT rule directing any traffic on 32400 to port 32400 on the unRaid server. The whole thing is really confusing since it seems to change randomly even when I don't change anything except pressing refresh. Private Unknown IP X Public Unknown IP X Internet Will sometimes change so that Public Unknown becomes my IP and sometime even Private Unknown becomes me unRaid IP and the X becomes a check mark but never the X between Public and Internet. Strangely I also noticed that in Green it says Fully accessible outside your network Which makes me think maybe I've been looking at the Private Unknown IP X Public Unknown IP X Internet when that doesn't actually matter. If that is the case that would really suck because I've been at this for a day. With Deluge I have no figured out that if I disable PIA I get good speeds so again I don't think my issue is docker related after all. Normally I wouldn't have run a command I wasn't certain of the outcome but the array has no data -- it literally has three shares called Media, Downloads, and appdata and a sub-directories based on the Plex and Deluge file structure but nothing in those directories . Absolute worst case scenario would be having to buy a new unRaid key but even that was basically zero probability. It doesn't seem to have had any significant issues SDB is still parity -- SDC and SDE still disks 1 and 2. The SSD is still the cache and the USB is still that Flash. I started running a Parity check once I decided I was going to try to avoid starting over.
September 4, 20169 yr Author Plex remote is not working. I turned off the site-to-site VPN and the PlexServer disappeared from the remote computers.
