I had my server offline for like 4 months. Turned my server back on line and it was working fine (minus one drive failure) until I did an upgrade to version 6.8.1. Now it does not work. The DHCP was enabled but I was getting a random IP (169.XXX.XXX.XXX). I went and manually configure the IP using the command line. But still I am not getting the GUI. I have tried to boot with GUI, no GUI, no plugins and nothing works. When I manually set the IP I tried to ping it without any response. At this moment I am just clueless. I am thinking to create a new flash drive. But the problem with that is all the configuration that I have in place. I have 3 VMs, over 20 Dockers, etc.

Any suggestions on how I can replace the flash drive and port over all the required configuration files.

I think the installation (Upgrade) has been corrupted because when I selected the upgrade I did not recall to see the "Upgrade succeeded please reboot server". But I reboot the server anyway and now it does not work. 

I can create the diagnostics, but since the network is not working at all I cant download them to my PC.

Any help is appreciated.

You might try deleting network.cfg from the flash drive and letting the default get recreated on boot. That file might have some silent corruption (it has happened to others).  If this fixes it, you can then reconfigure your network in the GUI.

I had tried that already and it did not work either. That's why I set the IP to static.

I got it resolved. I basically took a fresh copy of unraid 6.8.1 and copy my old /config folder, then after a reboot it did not work. So, I took another fresh copy of 6.8.1 and preformed an upgrade to 6.8.2 and it did survive the upgrade. I still don't know what happened but I got the diagnostics, I will read them to see what I see in order to help others.
