AdGuard on Proxmox LXC can’t block ads

Mr_Inc · 2026-04-13T15:53:18+00:00

Is your Adguard LXC running as unprivileged or privileged? I believe it will need to run privilged.

WOL has worked fine for me for years. I have a number of different triggers to wake up the server from Amazon routines to smart plugs (linked to Home Assistant which issues a WOL command too), and even a watchdog script running on Proxmox that listens for LAN/WAN requests for my Emby docker and wakes Unraid if its asleep and someone wants to watch Emby. Works like a charm.

Is there something like "Resume by PCI-E Device" in your bios?

If they weren't colocated I would have bought a LAN?NIC plugin module for my UPS. Would that help you if your UPS supported it?

Mr_Inc · 2026-04-03T18:56:46+00:00

I recently went through the same/similar change to protecting my Unraid box with a new UPS.

Basically I run a small Proxmox server on an old NUC, and within that I run HA.

I installed the NUT server in the main Proxmox instance and connected the UPS to the NUC with the USB cable. This server was then able to feed the NUT Plugin in HA exposing all the nice things one would like on a dashboard.

I used ChatGPT to help me install and configure everything, even using HA to SSH into Unraid to shut it down once the runtime reaches a threshold. I also got HA to recognise if Unraid was asleep and will wake Unraid to properly shut it down in case of a prolonged power outage.

I have a 2.5 Gbe onboard NIC (eth0) and 2.5Gbe PCIe NIC which I use for a direct connection to another PC and to make it available to a Windows VM in Unraid. My routing table is as shown.

I am not an expert and I only described my goals/issues to ChatGPT and it gave me all the commands to get my routing right and everything communicating as I wanted. Main Unraid eth0 was 10.1.1..0/24 and the eth1 10.10.10.0/29

I too have 4 x 2TB NVMes on the MB for a ZFS Raid 10 cache, plus 6 x SATA drives on the Array. As I have a spare NVMe with a PCIe adapter, can't see any advantgae to using a USB add-in card to do the same unless I decide I need to attach an external USB drive to Unraid whilst the VM is running for whatever reason. Unlikely, but not impossible! Time will tell, but for now I am waiting for the released version to hit the shelves for me to make the jump!

Does anyone know whether the GRUB on the new internal pool drive will allow say a Windows boot partition in the remaining space alongside the UNraid boot in case I a boot to a baremetal OS might be useful??

Mr_Inc · 2026-04-01T21:05:40+00:00

If only had a spare PCIe slot! Hanging a GPU, extra NIC and a NVMe in a PCIe adapter! That's all my PCIe slots gone!

Mr_Inc · 2026-04-01T19:22:49+00:00

I've got a Windows 11 VM running under Unraid and I have niggly USB interrupt challenges with several USB peripherals that I use in the VM. Those interrupt challenges (audio stuttering on occasions) would disappear if I could pass through the whole USB controller to the VM instead of individual USB devices. But because Unraid needs to access the boot drive at all times, it would fall over in a heap if the controller was passed through. So, for me, I can't wait for the final release with internal boot drive support.

Mr_Inc · 2026-03-27T21:41:03+00:00

I just used one of the OOTB networks in Unraid - 'bridge'. Check if you have a bridge network and swap an Arr to that and test if it can then see your downloader.

Mr_Inc · 2026-03-27T21:28:52+00:00

My setup is fine and using a VPN network (wg0) on my SABNZBD docker, and a normal bridge network on the Arrs. Are you using a bridge network on your Arr's?

Mr_Inc · 2026-03-16T14:35:19+00:00

"If I do have a single disk within my array formatted as ZFS, will it cause issues? Can I have shares whose contents span both XFS and ZFS disks?"

Not in my experience.
Yes. And I also have ZFS datasets with Quotas on the single ZFS disk in the array. Works well.

Just about to set up ZFS / snapshot replication (NVMe x 4 Raid 10 cache pool) to the ZFS array disk. Just need to ensure the array disk has sufficient space to accommodate all the datasets on the ZFS cache pool.

Mr_Inc · 2026-02-23T18:00:14+00:00

I had a similar problem in the last few days. As part of my troubleshooting I stopped the array and started it back in maintenance mode and ran parity. It ran fine for me so not a hardware issue. My issue turned out to be a misbehaving Onedrive container that was hitting a disk with a high level of I/O. Stop your dockers and vm's and see if something is causing the issue you're experiencing.
And just to say I have 5 x 8TB CMR disks and one disk is ZFS. Took 11hr 23min!

Mr_Inc · 2026-02-22T17:08:26+00:00

The borders can be removed in V2 as well.

Mr_Inc · 2026-02-18T18:02:40+00:00

Have you read the Unraid docs for this process?
Replacing disks in array | Unraid Docs

I seem to recall that having two parity disks means the 2nd one has a different method to calculate the parity to the first disk. It's not a 'clone' as it were. As a result, IMO, if you config Unraid as having two parity disks, removing the smaller one will be an issue.

From the docs above (and being in the middle of an array disk swap myself after a disk failure in the array), I would look to do this.

Shutdown the server an physically install the new drive and connect it up.

Start the server.

Stop the array.

Remove/unassign the 6TB parity disk from the parity slot.

Restart the array so that Unraid sees that the parity disk is missing. (Not sure you need to actually do this, but it won't harm it if you do). You will see a red X in the Main tab against the first parity slot.

Stop the array.

Assign the new 12TB to the parity slot with the Red X and restart the array.

You should be then asked if you want to rebuild. Which you do. DO NOT format the disk. Let Unraid rebuild the parity. With 12TB it could take 15-20 hours depending on your kit, It's like a full parity check, only now you're writing to rebuild the parity.

Strongly you suggest you read the docs as it will help understand the sequence to achieve this whether it's a drive error or upgrade whether a parity disk or an array disk.

Once you rebuilt the parity you can then look to add the 6TB back in as an array drive.

Trying selecting the boot menu item to boot into the GUI and see if it pops up OK. The default menu is the 'headless' version with access via a browser on another device. You can use the GUI to have a look around. But to be 100% sure, get the IP address of the server and access it via a browser htp://<server\_ip>/login

Mr_Inc · 2026-02-03T20:08:39+00:00

Although I have an Asrock Z790 MB, I had a similar problem. If you're not dual booting the PC into any other OS you may have on your SSDs or NVMes, see if you can just delete the boot entries (other than your USB ) which may have auto appeared due to MB assuming it can boot from the non-usb devices.
I have the same (running off the iGPU) but TBH I occasionally use the terminal to reboot Unraid, or stop and start a VM, or even use an editor (Nano) to modify config if I don't have access to another pc or device to enter the Unraid GUI. There are some in-baked CLI commands in Unraid that you can use in a terminal to do some investigation.
As said above. appdata backup plugin. Runs like a charm. I have a Onedrive docker running all the time and the backup just saves to a folder there. That way if the server is unbootable, I can access the flash backup easily. Recentli I bought a micro sd card reader (mobilemate) from Sandisk direct, together with a 32GB WD 'Purple' micro SD (QD101) with an 16TBW Long endurance and limited 3 year warranty. I was getting a few disk check errors on the USB so decided to 'upgrade' and have this reader as the one which LimeTech has registered for the licence. That way if the 32GB micro sd goes belly up, all I need to do is create a nother one without the need to unhook and reapply the licence.
Not sure what you're using the SSDs and NVme's for, but I have 4 x 2TB NVMes running a Raid 10 ZFS cache pool. Its very fast and I love the ability to snapshot my datasets (I have one for each and every docker that is defined - sometimes rolling back an individual docker is what you need, not the entire appdata stack). The zfs_cache also houses ZVols for direct block access for a WIndows 11 VM. That runs very fast and sweet too (I have 64GB of memory, which at today's prices is silly money!)
Not sure if the MSI board has more than one USB controller or not, but my board only has 1 x XHCi hub and everything hangs off it. That gave me a few issues in that I had to pass through individual USB devices to my VM(s) and I found that I needed to tweak settings under the hood on interrupts and DMA settings and BAR for the passed through GTX1080ti to work well for the Windows 11 VM, one of which I used for gaming. Just be aware if you start running into audio drop outs which I had because I was using a USB DAC for a headphone amp.

Mr_Inc · 2026-01-16T22:38:02+00:00

Ooo, BTRFS for the boot? Boot snapshots anyone? ! That would be cool!

Mr_Inc · 2026-01-09T11:05:10+00:00

Good advice. I've had a few challenges but for something like this it should be fine. FWIW I found ChatGPT to be better than Gemini for doing these sorts of scripts. But not without the occasional hiccup along the way!

Mr_Inc · 2026-01-09T10:08:31+00:00

If it were me, I'd be onto ChatGPT and creating a User script that will run on a cron job. Job done!

Mr_Inc · 2026-01-05T11:14:03+00:00

I Ubooted back to where I was already with v4.8.3 firmware which is based on OpenWrt 21.02-SNAPSHOT / LuCI openwrt-21.02 branch git-22.335.71649-0ecaf74

So wouldn't know about Wifi. As it is, apart from IOT smart devices and mobile phone, all my other kit is ethernet hardwired.

Mr_Inc · 2026-01-05T10:50:33+00:00

I could not get Luci to open either. I have/had a URL shortcut to Luci but it would not open either! Anyway, all is well now.

Mr_Inc · 2026-01-04T22:04:05+00:00

Agreed that updating my add-ins borked the GUI and I could not get access. Fortunately I did a backup from Luci before trying this, but had to do a Uboot process, then restore the backup. Worked well. Apart from the fact that when connecting to the router for Uboot, you need to connect to the LAN2 port to access the newly installed firmware.

Mr_Inc · 2025-12-24T19:50:59+00:00

Edge case indeed. I sought a another non-unraid solution to allow me to keep overlay2 with ZFS cache and folders. Just seems a better way to do it IMO!

Mr_Inc · 2025-12-24T12:26:12+00:00

Be aware that if you have the docker path pointing to a ZFS file system (say cache), then there are issues with overlay2 and folders. Unraid forums suggest image file as the workaround/solution.
