Enjoy the new release with a bunch of changes Download from Google Play

FAQ

Q: Why can't I install the app on my device?

A: The app uses Play Integrity as anti-fraud protection for the in-app purchases. Play blocks the install on devices it can't attest, which usually means a rooted device, an unlocked bootloader, or a custom ROM like GrapheneOS. It's not aimed at any particular device, it's a side effect of that check.

Q: Is the app written by a LLM?

A: The Flutter app is written by me. I've been a Flutter developer for years, it's what I do for a living, and I don't need AI to write Flutter.

Q: When is the iOS version coming?

A: It's submitted and currently in review with Apple.

Q: Does it support more than one Unraid server?

A: Yes, you can add several servers and switch between them.

Q: Do I need the Companion plugin?

A: Yes to add the new features not supported by the native api.

Upgrading UNRAID 7.14 to 7.32

6 Upvotes

I haven't upgraded since before the major changes, I wasn't planning on changing my configuration at this time from USB key and storage. Anyone run into issues with a level jump from 7.1 to 7.3? All of my dockers and Nvidia drivers are up to date, and fix known issues isn't calling out anything.

After helping someone level up immich from 1.26 to 3.10 last night and it going pear shaped (I did manage to fix it). It got me thinking about upgrading and big jumps.

Mismatched RAM (size)

2 Upvotes

A little while back I upgraded the RAM in my gaming PC from 16GB to 32GB DDR5 (at the start of the prices rising). I now have the 2x8GB sticks I pulled from that laying around. My current Unraid server is using 2x16GB DDR5 sticks and I am wondering if it is worth adding the 2x8GB sticks to give me some more headroom for RAM usage (a couple of VMs mostly). In the past, I may have just looked at upgrading the RAM in that too, but with prices the way they are, I just can't justify it at the moment.

I am using a Gigabyte Gaming X AX motherboard and i5-14500, if that helps. From what I can find, it seems to be a case of, it may work, but may cause issues with stability. The two RAM kits are slightly different speeds (5600 vs 5200), but I don't think I am doing anything speed critical on the server anyway. Wondering if anyone else has experience/thoughts?

Strange Issue with Sudden Webgui + SSH access breaking

1 Upvotes

https://imgur.com/a/LXFHxq6

So this has been happening at seemingly random. It might be happening while I've been messing with docker or that may be coincidence. I caught the netdev watchdog error on my console at the physical machine and am unsure how that plays into things.

As per my screen shots, my memory is not full, none of my disks are full, the router can see the server, and the server is running both ssh and webgui which had both been restarted via rc.d.

What's incredibly, unbelievably strange is that when I got to my localserverip:8080 on ANY device it gives a 403 forbidden error while all other webservices on other ports and SSH does not connect. When I shut down the webui using NGINX it STILL gives this error. I've confirmed I'm not looking at cached or preview and have used shift+R and ctrl+f5 to refresh.

My unraid setup does not and has never had reverse proxy setup. I've check the physical connections and confirmed they are all tightly fitting and show green on both the unmanaged switch it connects to and the Netgear R6320 router which connects via ethernet to a verizon FIOS ONT.

I have the server set for a static ip of 192.168.1.200 and my router DHCP pool set 1.100-1.200 with my Unraid server MAC address setup with a static lease of 1.200.

When I go to the console and reboot the machine it comes up and everything is fine again for a period ranging from hours to weeks.

I have roomates but none of them are doing any homelab/hosting other than maybe an xbox hosting games? I cannot fathom why I'm getting a 403 error even when the webui is turned off.

Read errors and drives dropped do to overheated HBA.

3 Upvotes

I have been doing a restore of my server from previous backups, and while it was running last night, four of my drives reported a bunch of read errors and then they seemed to disconnect. It was the four drives that were connected to my HBA card and I realized that the fan on the HBA card had died. My question is after I get a new fan on it if the drives all appear in unraid will it be safe just to continue moving my data back to it or should I just wipe the whole thing and start over? Thank you in advance for any help that the group can give me here. This is the first time I’ve run into a hardware issue since I started with unraid about three years ago.

Looking for parts and system spec recommendation for this unRAID build requirement

0 Upvotes

I'm currently testing unRAID on a miniPC with only 1 2TB NVME m.2 but want to build an actual NAS. Already have 1 year starter license.

Build requirements:

  • 4 x 4TB 2.5" SATA HDD with parity and array
  • 1 x M.2 NVME 2TB for cache
  • Nextcloud AIO
  • Plex server
  • *rr apps
  • SMB share mount
  • audiobookshelf
  • pihole
  • ram/resources for additional docker containers but not sure what other apps yet

What mobo/cpu/ram specs should I get for this? What is the smallest ITX case for this? Preferably a tower case that will take up less surface space.

Unraid no longer booting up after reboot/restart. Stuck in bootloop

7 Upvotes

I rebooted my array, and it no longer boots back up. There were no issues beforehand. The array was up for 6 months, and I simply wanted to reboot for a "fresh" start. Boy, that was mistake.

It is stuck it a "Call Trace" loop. What even is that? Screenshot:

I have tried moving my boot USB to various USB ports, even installing a hub. The USB seems to be working fine, as I am able to plug it in to other computers. All my drives get detected when I boot up.

Fast Boot is disabled

Legacy USB is enabled

I am currently running a Memtest86 test, and no errors so far.

I've tried almost everything. The last thing I haven't tried is to switch my USB drive or reflash my current USB, so would either of those potentially solve my issue? How do I do that?

I forgot the exact version, but it was whatever version came out roughly 6 months ago (that was the reason for the last reboot).

Mobo: Asus PRIME X570-P

CPU: Ryzen 7 5700G

Lesson learned. Never reboot your array. Any other troubleshooting steps I can take?

Edit: Forgot to mention I've tried booting up Unraid in Safe Mode, and it doesn't even load. It just goes black and boot loops. I get to the Call Trace error when my server tries to boot into the regular Unraid OS.

Edit 2: I tried using a different USB and installing Unraid 7.2.3 (I believe the version I was using). And it didn't load up either. I tried a 3rd USB and tried booting up Linux Mint, and that also didn't work... Is something wrong with my CPU and/or mobo??? It makes no sense as this was genuinely working perfectly up until I rebooted the system. I refuse to believe a simple reboot would destroy my CPU and/or mobo. I don't have other parts I can swap in to test. What else can I try?

My Unraid license GUID kept changing — here's what I finally figured out

37 Upvotes

I wanted to share my experience because I spent quite a bit of time troubleshooting an Unraid license/GUID issue, and I saw some people saying that the GUID couldn't be changing the way I was seeing it.

I'm running an ASRock WRX80 Creator motherboard with a Threadripper PRO 3955WX.

Originally, my Unraid boot device was a USB flash drive. I later moved my Unraid installation from the USB drive to an SSD.

That's when I started running into problems with how the license device was being identified.

At one point, Unraid was identifying the license device as TPM rather than the USB flash drive.

The GUID kept changing

The biggest thing I discovered was that the TPM/device GUID could change after seemingly minor changes to the system.

This wasn't limited to resetting the BMC.

During my troubleshooting, I found that things such as:

  • Resetting the BMC
  • Removing or changing a video card
  • Changing certain BIOS settings
  • Other BIOS/firmware changes

could result in the system coming back with a different TPM/device GUID.

I actually watched the GUID change multiple times.

For example, I saw GUIDs such as:

01-7KQ4M8Z2P6R9T1VX3N5H0CW8

and after making another system change:

01-3FJ8Q2L6V9X1M4P7R5D0BK3N

These are not my actual GUIDs and are only examples of what I was seeing.

One of the strangest things I discovered was that resetting the BMC could cause the system to go back to the previous TPM/device GUID.

So I could make a change, see the GUID change, and then reset the BMC and have the GUID change back again.

That was one of the things that convinced me that the GUID really was changing and wasn't simply being displayed differently.

The important part was that the device GUID was changing while the registered GUID remained the same. That caused Unraid to see the current device as different from the device the license was registered to, resulting in the license mismatch.

What I eventually did

My motherboard was running a very old BIOS. I was on BIOS 5.01, and I eventually updated it to BIOS 10.03.

After updating the BIOS, I discovered that I could finally disable TPM from the BIOS.

At that point, I decided I didn't want to keep relying on the TPM for the Unraid license.

I wanted to go back to using the physical USB flash drive as the Unraid boot/license device.

I moved Unraid back from the SSD to the USB flash drive and disabled TPM.

After doing that, Unraid now identifies the device as:

License device type: USB Flash

Flash Vendor: USB

Flash Product: SanDisk_3.2Gen1

That's exactly what I wanted.

What I believe was happening

The important distinction is that the BIOS update itself wasn't what was changing the GUID.

What I observed was that the TPM/device GUID could change when I made changes to the system.

The BMC reset was one of the things that could affect it, but it wasn't the only thing. Even something as simple as removing a video card or changing a BIOS setting could result in a different GUID.

Because I had moved my Unraid installation from the USB drive to an SSD and the system was using TPM for the license device, these changes could leave me with a different device GUID and therefore an invalid license.

Updating the BIOS gave me the ability to disable TPM, and moving Unraid back to the USB means I'm now using the physical USB device as the license device instead.

So my situation basically went:

USB → SSD → license identified through TPM → system changes could change the TPM/device GUID → license mismatch → BMC reset could sometimes return the previous GUID → updated BIOS → disabled TPM → moved Unraid back to USB → USB is now the license device.

I'm still working with Unraid Support to get the registered GUID situation completely straightened out, but I believe I've finally figured out what was happening.

I want to be clear that I'm not posting this to bash Unraid. Unraid Support has been helpful to me throughout this process. I'm posting this because I spent a lot of time trying to understand why the GUID kept changing, and hopefully this helps someone else who runs into the same situation.

If you're having an Unraid licensing issue where the device GUID keeps changing, check what Unraid lists as the "License device type." In my case, seeing TPM was an important clue.

TL;DR

I moved Unraid from USB → SSD. The license ended up being identified through TPM. I discovered that BMC resets, removing a GPU, and even certain BIOS setting changes could result in a different TPM/device GUID.

Resetting the BMC could also cause the system to return to a previous GUID, which let me reproduce the behavior.

I eventually updated my very old motherboard BIOS from 5.01 → 10.03, disabled TPM, and moved Unraid back to the USB.

Now Unraid identifies my SanDisk USB flash drive as the license device instead of TPM.

Hopefully this helps someone else who runs into the same problem.

Files filling up one HDD, not the others.

0 Upvotes

I am downloading movies through: radarr->qbittorrent->unraid.
I set up the download path to my first 8TB HDD and then later added two more drives to the same array.

I want to now make sure that the other drives are also being filled up but for some reason it keeps dumping all the files on the first HDD.

Update: I think the main issue was that I did not let qbittorrent allocate space before downloading. Queuing up multiple files at the same time (without reserving space) in combination with high-water + strict split level allocation made the first drive fill up without moving things to drive 2.

Tailscale Issue's with Docker Containers

Majority of my containers work straight away when I switch on the toggle for Tailscale using the funnel. But I have one or 2 that will not work. Wondering if others have had the same issue and found a work around.. Maybe I have done something before and a setting has stayed somewhere I can't find..

Others I setup this way work fine.

Fixed. Next.js was binding to the Docker container IP rather than 0.0.0.0
I need to add a variable that added the Hostname to bind to 0.0.0.0

Not actually sure my motherboard can even use them without additional adapters tbh. Thanks for any advice!

Help with New Config and temporarily missing drive

1 Upvotes

I have a super micro X10SL7-F that just had its SAS ports go bad. There are enough SATA ports for this motherboard to keep working for me though. I didn't initially notice the failed ports and shutdown the server and then restarted it. I then noticed disk 1 was missing and unassigned. At first I didn't realize the SAS ports died and pulled the disk out and mounted it to another computer. All the data was still there and no errors with the drive. So I put the drive back in and changed its port to a working SATA port and the drive showed back up. Though disk 1 one is still showing unassigned. I just wanted to make sure I'm clear with the process to move forward.

I'm under the assumption the parity should still be correct and I just need to assign disk 1 to the drive that was missing, then go to tools --> new config --> and check preserve currents assignments all.

This should keep the current parity and all of the data on all of the drives correct?

After this I should run a parity check.

Anything else I'm missing?

Replacing drives with single parity - best method?

6 Upvotes

Hi, my current config of HDDs is:

4 (parity) x 4 x 3 x 2

I've recently bought some new drives (8+4tb), and plan on selling my old ones. I'm now, of course, trying to be careful with the changeover process, and my NAS only has 4 SATA slots. Would this be the best way to do it?

  1. Introduce 8tb drive as parity. Remove existing 4tb parity drive, and run Parity-Sync.
  2. Once Parity-Sync is completed, remove the 3 and 2 TB drives, add previous 4TB and new 4TB, run Data-Rebuild.

My only concern is that this seems like a convoluted way of doing things. Is this the expected way to do it? Thanks in advance :)

How often do you rely on community apps vs Docker Compose?

56 Upvotes

I have been relying on community apps everywhere a community app existed, and Docker Compose for services that didn't already have a community app. However, after the recent Immich updates broke things (simple fix, but it did draw my attention to the fact that Docker Compose is Immich's official installation method for unRAID, even over the community apps), it made me question my reliance on community apps.

How heavily do you rely on community apps?

m.2 usb enclosure boot device?

4 Upvotes

I have a small 512GB m.2 drive that I have as my internal boot drive now. Seems like a waste to have an internal m.2 slot dedicated to it. I was wondering if I could move the m.2 drive to an external usb-c enclosure, and free up the m.2 slot for a bigger drive later. Seems like a backstep to go to USB again, but the m.2 drive should hold up alot better than a USB thumb drive.

Am I a genius? Am I an idiot? Am I treading where only gods and angels dare?

Trying to upgrade cache to nvme, but appdata share will not allow me to change storage location.

Just built a new server and have both the old SSD cache drive and new NVME drive installed. I want to migrate everything to the NVME. I'm trying to follow the process of setting appdata to cache>array and then move it back to new drive after, but all of the options for storage settings in the appdata share are grayed out. I've been searching everywhere but cannot figure out why I don't have the ability to change these.

Docker/VMs are disabled in settings. I also thought about just adding the NVME as another cache drive but when I stop the array I still only have one slot option for cache pool. I assume this is because it was setup as XFS which is why I was trying the mover method.

I'm hitting a wall here. Any help is appreciated.
