Question about basic NAS stuff with UnRAID: Is there a specific way I should set up a 1 TB SSD cache to work with a 17 TB array used primarily as a media server? Right now I have it set to move files over to the array every 8 hours, but that's all I've done so far.

Matt Zerella posted:Set any VMs or Docker shares to "Prefer" and run them strictly off the SSD. If you set the share to prefer and stop the docker/vm services and then run the mover it will move them off the array and onto the SSD. Also do this for appdata. Thanks, yeah, I already had to reconfigure everything once after my original NVME drive kept overheating (this tiny motherboard put the slot on the back where it gets no airflow). I just found the plugin that lets me back up the appdata folder to the array drive. Tiny Timbs fucked around with this message at 00:24 on Apr 3, 2023 |

Beve Stuscemi posted:I've been running Unraid for I think 3 years now and the amount of janitoring is basically "log in and see if there are updates" Coincidentally you posted this as I was coming back to this thread to post how great Unraid has been for over a month of uptime with zero janitoring. It's night-and-day compared to when I was fussing around with OpenMediaVault and Portainer. I had an issue with setup where my NVME kept failing but it wasn't Unraid's fault that the motherboard put its NVME slot on the back right up against the bottom of the case.

UnRaid 6.11: Is there a better way to back up the cache drive than to use CA Backup / Restore Appdata? I just had my cache drive fried by a power flicker (time to get a UPS...) and while I was fortunate to have a recent backup I still had to spend a couple hours troubleshooting and fixing SQL DB failures for Plex and the *arr apps.

Scruff McGruff posted:I don't know of anything else for the entire cache drive, but Sonarr and Radarr have their own backup system baked in. I have their databases back up to my Google drive in addition to the CA Backup/Restore plugin. Oh cool, I didn’t know that. I’ll get that set up then. Thanks!

THF13 posted:CA Backup/Restore is supposed to be one of the more reliable ways to get a backup of your appdata because it shuts down your docker containers before making its backup. Did you put the files back in place manually or use the restore function of the plugin? I've had permissions issues manually copying files from its backup to a single borked application, but for a full cache drive replacement you should just need to hit restore and have everything copied back correctly. Yeah I used the restore function. I was able to fix the *arr DBs on my computer; for some reason the command line utility didn’t work.

I could not be happier with UnRaid after using OMV for a year

I just put a little electrical tape on the pin on the drive.

I’d be ok with them dropping support for older versions after a couple years but I’m not gonna do subscription fees if that’s the way they end up going.

How “essentially the same” are Pro and Lifetime? I could be convinced to upgrade to Pro right now.

Yeah zero blame for redditors on their response to this one. Same deal as when a beloved game franchise announces it’s pivoting to GaaS.

Oh that's awesome. I've been keeping an eye on the effort to add HW transcode support to Plex for AMD APUs so I could use my NAS box as-is and progress has been buggy and slow. I'd much rather get a cheap single-slot GPU but Nvidia doesn't seem to want to make those.

FYI for using an Intel ARC card in Plex: I spent ages trying to figure out why HW transcode wasn't working in Unraid and it turns out HDR Tone Mapping is broken. Turning that off allowed Plex to use the GPU.

What's the recommended approach for reverse proxying into UnRAID to get access to various containers? I've seen folks recommend Cloudflare's tunnel system but I don't feel like switching all my DNS stuff over from AWS. Nginx with port forwarding seems to be the alternative.

Scruff McGruff posted:Unraid has Wireguard built-in under Settings > VPN Tools. If you just need personal access to the server from offsite, would definitely recommend going that route or using Tailscale. I ended up going with NPM and I really like it aside from some setup issues. The URL checking service for LetsEncrypt kept giving me weird and inconsistent errors and would only let me get a cert for my A record and not the CNAMEs. Using the Route53 API method worked flawlessly. Now I have to figure out how split DNS works so I can direct local network traffic without going through the web, and I’m thinking about setting up Authelia for 2FA.
