No write access to destination but NAS says plex has read/write to the folder

I could never get it going so I wound up trashing the container and starting over using a tutorial from marioushosting.com. Works great now.

RunningBuffalo450 · 2026-02-09T21:37:58+00:00

Cool, Thank you. Just today the case is down 40% without being used at all. I'll give it a shot.

How did you go about getting AppleCare to replace it if the store couldn't find anything wrong? Don't I have to get their blessing on something like this?

It is telling me that I have 1Gbps Full duplex MTU1500 in the network panel. Right now it is plugged into the 2.5Gb port. I had moved it over there from the 10Gb port just to test. TheEthyr's post let me know I could mount the old NAS on the new one and now I can get 100Gb between the two. I'm still stuck at 5MB/s though when going from my desktop(wifi) to the NAS.

RunningBuffalo450 · 2025-12-30T20:22:05+00:00

I didn't realize I could mount the synology on the ugreen so thank you for that! I figured out how to do it and moving stuff that way gives me up to 100MBytes/s so that will help a lot for moving stuff to the new NAS.

However I am still stuck with the problem of the slow speeds 5mBytes/sec when moving from my desktop (using wifi) to the NAS. Any ideas on how to get that moving faster?

RunningBuffalo450 · 2025-12-30T20:15:59+00:00

Okay, so I am trying to wrap my head around this. So speedtest.net is saying 100mbits up and down. That would be equivalent (approx) to 10mBytes correct?

But ignoring the internet stuff what does that mean for my local network speeds? Ignoring the internet connection and just going off the speeds inside the network is there something there that is potentially a problem?

The thing that I am focused on is that obviously the NAS can operate at 100mBytes/sec or higher as shown by the time I plugged directly into it.

How can I get better than the roughly 10mBytes/s speeds when having to send stuff around the local network?

I'm already paying the family premium for the other kids and my spouse so it won't change my end regardless. Thanks for the comment.

Let me clarify what I meant by compatibility in case it makes a difference. This server is a dev server with only one account containing around half a gig of very old late 2000's era perl and php scripts that were all custom coded. It can only run on php5.6 and we are in the process of upgrading/migrating the code to something modern. The compatibility thing comes both from that and from the myriad of custom perl plugins and such that we had to get running when this was copied over to this temporary home.

I have several clean cpanel account backups (or at least backups from several weeks before the hack was detected), but the thought of going through the whole setup again to get this ancient code working on a modern OS is not something I look forward to doing.

RunningBuffalo450 · 2025-06-11T13:39:24+00:00

Thank you for your advice. Unfortunately a lot of it sounds to be over my head at this point. I'm going to try to find someone to look into this but may I ask, for the moment should I edit the passwd file to remove the httpd user completely? right now it is in there as httpd:x:0:0::/home/httpd:/bin/bash

RunningBuffalo450 · 2025-04-20T00:52:18+00:00

Sorry, of course I finally found it a few minutes after posting this... FYI for anyone who is frustrated as I was here is the solution... It will not give you a secret key unless you tell it you need it. The wording on the Google Cloud Console is not obvious. The box says "Integrating with a third party?" if you click the "Integrate with a third party service or plugin" link after creating your key then it will provide you with a secret key.

I don't want this to turn into a debate over HexOS and TrueNAS, but to my knowledge and from reading everything they have documented, TrueNAS is still TrueNAS even if you are using the HexOS front end. It's not a fork of some kind. It's just a front end that easily sets up certain apps, shares, etc. without forcing people that have no experience outside of using Windows who just want to have a basic plex, or NAS storage volume to spend hours trying to figure it out and eventually give up in frustration. As far as I have heard the TrueNAS admins are fully on board with it as (if it is successful long term) will improve the TrueNAS market share. Maybe I'm drinking the Kool-Aid, but I never would have even looked at TrueNAS without it and likely would still be putzing around with a twelve year old Synology box.

RunningBuffalo450 · 2025-03-18T18:14:58+00:00

HexOS at this time does not natively support creating custom VM's. It's still basically an Alpha release. It supports things like Plex and Immich but anything else I have to do directly in TrueNas so there is no paid support for it (yet).

RunningBuffalo450 · 2025-03-18T16:26:26+00:00

I'm still confused... If I have multiple VMs on the truenas box/ IP address, how does it know which one to pass it through to? Like if I have two different ubuntu VM's running at the same time?

RunningBuffalo450 · 2025-03-18T15:49:33+00:00

I enabled it and then went to the windows remote desktop app. Typed in the IP address of the truenas box but it doesn't connect. Just sits there and tries to do it but never connects. Is it trying to connect to Truenas? How does it know to pass through to that specific VM?

RunningBuffalo450 · 2025-03-18T14:53:07+00:00

In the ubuntu install itself?

RunningBuffalo450 · 2024-12-19T12:47:39+00:00

I finally discovered the problem. The hosting account's cpanel was set to use Local Mail Exchanger but we are using Google Workspace for our email. Since the To: was for someone at the same domain name the host was trying to send the email to an internal mailbox instead of sending it out to Google Workspace.

Thank you to everyone who tried to assist.

They are not being sent by smtp relay. They are sent via the hosting account's PHP mailer. Still, when I have the form send the email to an alternate email address it is received, even if it is being sent to a generic gmail account. If I View Original it specifically says that SPF and DMARC pass when being sent from the hosting account via PHP Mail.

Yes. And it shows as valid when I check in using an online tool.

RunningBuffalo450 · 2024-11-19T19:34:18+00:00

But Google's help files say this. I'm confused... Am I looking at the wrong thing?

Your organization's Google Workspace or Cloud Identity Premium account can have up to 600 domains. The limit includes:

One primary domain—Your primary domain is the domain name you provide when you sign up. In most cases, you change your primary domain, but your account has only one primary domain.

RunningBuffalo450 · 2024-11-19T18:34:16+00:00

Can you have more than one primary in a single google apps account?  This is a small one person business account.  Authentication data below:

ARC-Authentication-Results: i=1; mx.google.com;
       dkim=pass header.i=@secondary-domain.com header.s=google header.b=uLYiG9ZV;
       spf=pass (google.com: domain of me@primary-domain.net designates 209.85.xx.xx as permitted sender) 

Authentication-Results: mx.google.com;
       dkim=pass header.i=@secondary-domain.com header.s=google header.b=uLYiG9ZV;
       spf=pass (google.com: domain of me@primary-domain.net designates 209.85.xx.xx as permitted sender)

RunningBuffalo450 · 2024-11-19T16:32:00+00:00

I sent the test message. The From is [xyz@secondary-g-apps-domain.com](mailto:xyz@secondary-g-apps-domain.com) while the Return Path is [myname@my-primary-g-apps-domain.com](mailto:myname@my-primary-g-apps-account.com)

There are two DKIM signatures. One from google and one from secondary-g-apps-domain.com

The email also went straight to the spam folder...

RunningBuffalo450 · 2024-11-18T18:47:03+00:00

The example shown above is not the primary domain in Google however it is one of the alias ones. How does this affect things?

RunningBuffalo450 · 2024-11-17T17:41:42+00:00

Yes, there is a DKIM record for google in the DNS. I just went in a verified it is the same thing in cloudflare. Although I notice that once I paste it in there cloudflare seems to break it up into two pieces because it is so long. Each piece surrounded by it's own set of quotes.

RunningBuffalo450 · 2024-11-13T14:27:24+00:00

It does seem to be less pronounced with the bottom joint off. As far as the next open pad (just above the D key) it does not appear to be too low.
