Internet Outage: No UI

[MyKroFt]

Why when there is a internet outage you can not access the UI via local lan IP?

Works fine here. Can you ping the IP?

Ya pings just fine.  It trys to resolve to my unraid.ner domin name. 

 

When I enter 192.168.0.104, it trys to resolve a.domin name and fails

 

It's trying to resolve to an HTTPS maybe that's what's causing it

Works just fine for me also  Accessing via https to either the IP address or by it's name.  

 

You running something like maybe piHole that's playing with the network?

I have had mixed results with https://ipaddress . At a minimum you will need to bypass the browser warnings telling you that the certificate doesn't match the url.

 

http://ipaddress will automatically redirect to https://hash.unraid.net . If your computer hasn't cached that address already and your Internet is down, it won't be able to do a DNS lookup, which causes the issue you are seeing.

 

One solution is to add an entry to your local hosts file that points  hash.unraid.net to the correct IP address.  The downside is that this overrides DNS, so you need to remember to update the hosts file if the IP address ever changes.

 

Another solution is to disable SSL by editing the /boot/config/ident.cfg file and changing USE_SSL to "no", then typing "powerdown -r" from the console to reboot. When it comes back up you will be able to use http://ipaddress to access the gui.
