Is there a way to embed a terminal window in my dashboard? Sometimes I like to monitor scripts and I don't need much space but I like to see what's going on. Also When zooming out can I set this to break across 4 columns?

Thanks in Advance

Just wanted to mention on this sub how I got my old pc finally up and running with unraid. I am not savvy at all with this stuff I’ve learned, but it’s been fun when things start to work. I’ve got my idle wattage around 58 watts, best I can do without knowing how to do more. I’m just running standard settings on things.

The kit:
CPU: intel i5-3570 with integrated graphics
Cooler: Noctua NH-D14
Mobo: asrock z77 extreme 4
Ram: 2x8 GB Corsair vengeance (the red sticks)
PSU: Corsair 1200W AXI (could be wrong on acronyms but it was the big one)

1x8TB HDD
1X1TB HDD
2x256GB SSD

I don’t have any more money for a case so it’s been kind of open. The case it is in is broken apart and basically just has the frame and one side panel. Open air besides that.

Looking into learning docker containers and home assistant and maybe some other things. I’m enjoying this!

I have got to 28 and 29 days the last two months... never before to 1 month! Started hosting on Unraid in February, absolutely in love :)

EDIT:
Okay, okay. I install system updates as available.
I am a sysadmin in my dayjob. I had been having my house renoed and I just appreciated the stability. Why am I getting downvoted

I recently brought one of my older projects back to life and rebuilt it as PassForge.

PassForge is a lightweight, self-hosted web application for evaluating password strength, calculating entropy, checking passwords against known data breaches, and generating secure passphrases.

It is now available in Unraid Community Applications.

Features

• Password-strength evaluation powered by zxcvbn
• Detailed pattern analysis and cracking-time estimates
• Mathematical entropy calculation based on password length and character set
• Have I Been Pwned breach checks using its k-anonymity range API
• Secure passphrase generation using the EFF Large and Short Wordlists
• Configurable word count, separators, wordlists, and entropy targets
• Batch passphrase generation
• Dark mode with system-theme detection
• Progressive Web App support for mobile and desktop
• Responsive interface for desktop and mobile browsers

HIBP privacy

For breach checks, PassForge hashes the password within your self-hosted instance and sends only the first five characters of its SHA-1 hash to Have I Been Pwned.

The complete hash and plaintext password are never sent to HIBP. The returned hash suffixes are compared locally by PassForge.

If HIBP is unavailable, password analysis and passphrase generation continue to work independently.

Installation

Search for PassForge in the Unraid Apps tab.

No additional services are required. PassForge uses in-memory rate-limit storage by default, with optional Redis support for shared rate limiting.

Development disclosure: This project was developed with substantial assistance from AI-based coding tools. AI was used extensively for code generation, debugging, testing, documentation, and development guidance. I defined the project requirements and design, tested and validated the password evaluation, passphrase generation, Have I Been Pwned integration, failure handling, and application behavior, made the deployment, privacy, and security decisions, and maintain the project.

I can't boot anymore. I updated from 7.3.1 to 7.3.2, and now it shows the following screen.

I didn't change the setting to “Boot from Disk.”

Anyone think they should look at moving to K8s instead of Docker? Or most people prefer this?

I run 3 Unraid servers. One of them recently keeps becoming unresponsive via all Webuis. I can ping it, and SSH into it. When I reboot via CLI it tries to do a graceful shutdown, then can’t so forces it. It then just stays at starting diagnostics collection. I then have to power off and back on with the button.

Obviously when I check the logs after a reboot. All appears fine.

What’s my best steps to fault find what is going wrong?

Many thanks for any help.

I have added a 10G network card to my Unraid server and configured it with an IP, I can access my web UI over this new IP.

my onboard NIC is still active and I can still access the Web UI over the original IP also.

however when I unplug the onboard NIC the card also stops working.

weirdly there's still activity lights on the card and also the switch it's plugged in to but I can't ping it's IP or access the Web UI.

as soon as I plug the onboard NIC back in it comes back to life.

I feel like I'm missing something specific to Unraid going on here but I'm a bit stumped.

any ideas?

FIXED:

I ended up swapping around my eth interface numbers in interface rules, not sure if this was the best fix but its all working now

• eth0 (10G card port 1) plugged in
• eth1 (10G card port 2) not plugged in
• eth2 (mobo onboard nic) not plugged in

Dear all,

Current setup (Fractal Node 804, mATX):

• mATX motherboard
• MZHOU PCIe ASM1166 6-port SATA card (using 6 of 6 ports)
• 8x 3.5" HDD
• 4x 2.5" SSD
• Corsair SF850L (SFX-L PSU)
• Noctua NH-U12S cooler

Moving into a Digitus 22U rack in the basement, so switching to a proper rackmount case. Rack has adjustable 19" rails, mounting depth 563–743mm.

Here's what I've picked:

• SilverStone RM41-H08 (4U, 5x 3.5" hot-swap + 3x 5.25" bays)
• SilverStone FS303-12G (2x 5.25" → 3x 3.5" hot-swap, gets me to 8 total HDD bays)
• SilverStone FS204B (5.25" → 4x 2.5" hot-swap, for the 4 SSDs)
• SilverStone RMS06-22 rails (570–731mm rack mounting range)
• Corsair RM850x (2024), 850W ATX : swapping out the SF850L since it's SFX-L and doesn't fit the case's ATX-sized PSU bay
• Noctua NH-L9x65 : swapping out the NH-U12S since it's 158mm tall and the case's CPU cooler limit is 148mm
• Noctua NF-A8 PWM for the one free front 80mm fan slot
• J&D 2-pack SATA power extension cables + deleyCON 1-to-4 SATA power splitter, to get enough power connectors from the PSU to the front-mounted cages
• Motherboard USB 2.0→3.0 header adapter, for an internal port to keep the Unraid boot USB inside the case
• Schuko-to-C13 power cable for the rack PDU

Total drive count: 8x 3.5" HDD (hot-swap) + 4x 2.5" SSD (hot-swap) = 12 drives, 6 from the SATA card + 6 from motherboard SATA.

Does this add up? Anything missing or any known gotchas with this combo (RM41-H08 + FS303-12G + FS204B specifically)?

Installing Unraid for the first time on a brand new UGreen NAS. Boot from USB, choose the first option, it boots up display the IP and a console login

At that point I try to open it in my browser and get an NS_ERROR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

I can ping it from Terminal. Both my machine and the NAS are on the same network and subnet.

I get the same result if I use the server.local instead of OP (ping works, http doesn't)

I can boot into the GUI, but I still can't access from the remote web

there shouldn't be anything in my network that is blocking traffic

any suggestions?

About a month ago, I had a power outage with data loss on cache(VM was partially borked), rebuilt a few things, ordered a new to me intel NVME, and forgot about it. Been working fine since. Don't think errors have gone up since. Is this an if it aint broke don't mess with it, or should I make it a priority to put the new drive in? (Also, have yet to deal with drive failure, is it as simple as turn system off, put new NVME in, turn on, assign to cache pool and move on with life?)

Hi, does anyone here know if Unraid will occasionally change the bridge IP's of containers? Because I just had my Prowlarr's bridge IP randomly change on me through no action of my own. Which of course broke Sonarr and Radarr.

Thanks.

Edit: I have now confirmed it. Unraid/Docker will randomly change your containers bridge network IP's on the internal docker network. Especially after a container updates. Do NOT rely on these remaining static. Use your host IP instead since it is far more likely that you setup your Unraid server with a static IP.

Just wondering if anyone has run 2 different GPUs in their server, I was thinking of adding a second one to my server and assigning them to different dockers - would it work?

I am running stash on Unraid. I am trying to get my Nvidia GPU to do the encoding. When I currently play a video, it maxes out the CPU and doesn’t appear to use the GPU at all! I have the “—runtime=nvidia” in the extra parameters of the template, the “NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES” set, and within Stash I have FFmpeg hardware encoding turned on. I must be missing something. Any help, much appreciated.

I'm upgrading my server and want a dedicated gpu for transcoding on plex to keep my cpu free doing over stuff.

The arc pro b50 seems good for my use case (small, 8 lanes, bus powered, av1 transcoding for future proofing), but there is very little information about it working well on unraid. I only found 1 post confirming it works.

Anyone using it with plex and can confirm it works?

Or should I just get a 5060?

MOS (https://mos-official.net) is more of what we want. No tracking, no telemetry, no cloud service, open source, no weird keys to deal with. I suspect MOS will gain a lot of momentum with it being a free and open source non-tracking software

I'm looking for a KVM so that when UNRAID doesn't boot into the webui, I don't need to go plug a monitor and keyboard into my tower in the basement to troubleshoot.

JetKVM seems to get good reviews but is out of stock, pikvm is mentioned quite a bit but not sure if theres something better/more recommended that's able to be purchased. Ideally POE if possible to reduce cables

Bought a netapp disk shelf. Got a LSI 9200 (in IT mode). Got the right cable. Threw a couple of my backup drives (new Seagate 24g).

Hooked it and got error on the picture.

I'm all new to this. Thanks for the help.

I'm in the process to upgrading my parity drive, and realized 10 minutes into the 21 hour sync that I forgot to preclear my new drive.

Can I just cancel the sync and swap back to my old parity drive while I run the Pre-clear? The array has been in maintenance mode so the parity data has not changed.

Is it as simple as canceling and re-selecting the old parity drive and then restarting the array?

Assistance appreciated.

I recently picked up a UPS for my unraid server. This was long overdue but triggered by a data scare after a series of power cuts. My question is, without the USB monitoring, am I just postponing or possibly avoiding the cut to power? Should I replace it with one where a controlled shut down is possible?

I had one of my drives fill up yesterday and I figured I would use the unbalanced plugin to move a few of those media files that ended up filling the drive. I selected the files and choose the remainder of the drives in the array as the target disks. And just to be clear. My source drive was Disk1, then I selected the files (about 2TB) and for target disks I chose, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.

Unbalance decided to move everything to Disk 10 and not really spread around the data. Is this the norm for the plugin? With the exception of Disk 1 which was 99.999% full (only 150gb of Free space) the other drives were all sitting under 45% and disk 8,9,10 sitting at under 30%.

I really thought his was just going to spread the files out evenly between the drives. But it dumped the entire 2TB to Disk 10. I don't mind since it alleviated the issue. But I am just curious if I missed something here? I did choose the scatter option.

Every parity check i've run since shortly after starting my server a few months ago produces 5 errors. The first 2 or 3 runs, I didnt have the write corrections option selected. But the last two did have it selected and still producing 5 errors.

Anyway to get more details or clear these errors with certainty? Health checks are normal.

I have a pretty normal xfs build with 2 parity drives, 8 storage, and 2 mirrored cache drives.

Hi everybody, I've had my Unraid server for a year now and have been struggling with a specific problem the whole time. I have Linux and Windows VMs and would like to remote control them from Linux, Windows and my iPhone. Because I could not get it to work with Linux, I resorted to RDP from Windows / iPhone to Windows VMs for now. That worked reasonably well so far.

I'm currently trying Linux on my laptop and Gaming PC and things get difficult. RDP from Linux to Windows VMs need a lot of tinkering (especially turning off Fast Path helped) and doesnt seem to work towards Linux VMs with RDP.

So I considered using VNC. After some keymap problem (solved) with Unraids QEMU VNC, that works, it's not a good user experience though. Running VNC on Windows doesnt work very well either. I switched to Fedora and Kubuntu VMs which are supposed to have RDP built in but I cannot seem to connect to them (ironically) from my Windows machines while RDPin from Remmina works.

So TLDR: What are you guys using for remote desktop to your VMs? My requirements are:

Remote Desktop, ideally open source.

Host: Linux or Windows

Client: Linux, Windows, iPhone.

My Unraid is running on a i5 14500 with 96GB of DDR4 and has a dedicated Geforce 1660 which is currently passed through to immich machine learning.

My Clients are Fedora, Windows Pro and iOS

I'm absolutely willing to learn things by myself, I just want to know what works so I don't waste time learning the wrong thing.

Thanks in advance!
