My Unraid USB boot drive has died and as far as i know I don't have any back ups. what is the best steps to get everything back up and running.

Do you know your disk assignments? It is VERY important that you don't accidentally assign a data disk to the parity slot.

I have 4 HDD disks and off the top of my head I will say no, but the order hasn't changed so I went down the list while adding them.

 

I had 4 cache drives but thats not a concern right now.

I managed to get the drives mapped except the parity drive. how would I bring back my docker apps?

Did you have a parity dive?   If so are you CERTAIN that you know which it is?  

 

If you had parity and are not certain which drive it is then the 'trick' is initially assign ALL drives as data drives and start the array.   Since the parity disk has no file system it should be the only drive that shows as unmountable thus allowing you to identify it and take a note of it's serial number. You can then use Tools  -> New Config to reset the array and this time you will know which drive to assign as parity.

If you cant salvage the config/dickerman folder from the flash drive, then they will still work as is by simply pointing the docker.img to the existing file, but some features will be unavailable until you remove the app and then re add it via the apps tab and setup all the ports paths etc

so I figured out the disks, it seems I might of made a new docker.img by accident. I am trying to install the community applications to reinstall the docker applications I had, but I am getting this

EDIT: looks like github is having issues.

Yup.  You won't be able to install any plugin until that's all sorted out.

 

Upshot (if there is one) is that CA is properly switching to the backup server to update it's lists so docker installs are still fine.

Try again in a bit.  Looks like its getting resolved.
