Thanks, it was already enabled, however for some reason the syslog server had stopped receiving logs. Anywhoo, found the issue, it was the S3 sleep plugin. It was putting the server into S2idle which was causing it not to respond. I've removed the plugin.

Thanks @BoKKeR that's fine then, however my other two issues persist. I have the Docker deployed on the Unraid server. I have noticed that I am getting these MQTT errors on my Home Assistant server since deploying this.

I've had my Unraid server setup for a couple of years now, but it's been turned off for several months. I first noticed this issue a couple of months ago after I started using it again but I keep finding it's going offline. It will power up, start a parity check then anywhere from 20 minutes to 4 hours later it will stop responding on the network. It's still powered on, the IPMI is responding, but the Unraid GUI isn't and pinging the interfaces doesn't work either. Only way to recover is a reboot via the IPMI which is essentially just a power off and on (not shutdown). I've just deployed my first and only Docker image on there as well and that stops responding as well. Any ideas? The server has 3 NICs (4 inc the IPMI). 2 10GB ports on an PCI card and one E1000 1GB NIC onboard. All 3 stop responding, so I fear it's an Unraid OS hang or something. I've updated the OS to the latest (6.12.10) but it's still doing it.

Hello, I'm having no joy getting this to work. The documentation isn't very clear and, certain on my server, the Docker image isn't working correctly. I added the Management Server app from the CA then added the Docker image using the image from the OP here (not the old one). Added the environment variables for my MQTT broker and started the container. But when I connect, there's nothing there. The webpage loads, I enter my server details, it says connected but that's it. Nothing populates. If wait, nothing happens, if I refresh the server details on "setup unraid server" disappear. On the Home Assistant side, I cannot get the add-on to install at all. I wasn't sure if there was a newer add-on I should be using.

See, I've seen comments say that it is fully supported as well. Seems a bit unclear.

why? What’s wrong with the iGPU?

Can anyone see an problem with my plan? MSI Z690 Mini ITX board Compatible Intel 12th gen CPU (open to suggestions on which one) Innodisk m.2 10GBE adapter (uses a Marvell AQtion Ethernet Controller which I believe is supported by Unraid) LSI Logic SAS9200-8E https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/MEG-Z690I-UNIFY https://www.innodisk.com/en/products/embedded-peripheral/communication/egpl-t101 Reason for ITX is case size, I need a small rackmount case and there is more choice with ITX over Micro-ATX. Problem is I need two PCI-E slots, unless the board has 10GBE, which again, limits the choice.

So I have finally narrowed down my search to this motherboard and CPU. Intel Xeon E-2246G https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/191043/intel-xeon-e2246g-processor-12m-cache-3-60-ghz.html ASUS P11C-M/10G-2T https://www.asus.com/uk/Commercial-Servers-Workstations/P11C-M-10G-2T/ Case will be a 1U short depth chassis, which only has a single PCI-E card you can install, hence the need for either a SAS controller or 10GBe onboard (I went for 10GBe as I couldn't find one with SAS controller).

Do you have to go latest and greatest? 1151 isn’t that old and there are lots of well priced options out there.

I've been looking around and I'm swaying towards the following: ASUS P11C-I Motherboard - https://www.asus.com/uk/Commercial-Servers-Workstations/P11C-I/ It has an onboard Mini-SAS HD connector that I can use to conenct to my SAS Expander Intel Xeon E-2146G CPU https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/134866/intel-xeon-e2146g-processor-12m-cache-up-to-4-50-ghz.html Any reason why this combo wouldn't work?

How did I not know about this https://pikvm.org/ That might take away the need for IPMI/remote management.

I'm really stuck for which motherboard and CPU to go for. I need Micro-ATX for two controller cards but otherwise my requirements are pretty flexible. The chassis is a 2U SuperMicro server with a SAS Expander backplane. I'll have 50TB+ of storage (currently 5 x 14TB drives plus SSD Cache). I'd like IPMI, so that kinda sways me towards a server board. I'll be running Plex (no transcoding - Direct Play), a VM for Home Asssitant, and Docker containers for Sonarr, Radarr x2, NZBGet, a possibly a few other lightweight Docker containers. Not sure whether to go for Intel or Ryzen (or EPYC?). I was kinda swaying towards an E-2104G but not confirmed. So my options are kinda open. Anything I should consider? Obviously low idle power should be good. Is LGA 1151 a good choice?

Thanks, I looked at that one but it's too tall. I think my solution of a 1U server with a 3U JBOD array is the only option that will work.

Anyone?

I'm planning a new server build to replace a Synology DS1515+. I already have another Unraid server I use for backing up the Synology. The problem is the network cabinet I would like to put it in only 300mm deep and I have 4U space, tops. I can't find a single case that fits into that requirement but I then spotted this disk enclosure from Silverstone which would fit inside the rack, but I'd need to pair it with another 1 or 2U device to run UnRaid etc. and a RAID card to connect to the mini SAS ports. Ideally with two hot swap bays for SSDs. https://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=483&area=en However, this enclosure seems hard to get hold of. Maybe I can cut the drive bays off of a 3U server with a SAS expander backplane instead? My requirements for my new NAS are: As many hot swap bays as possible (8 minimum). I have 5 x 14TB drives I need to migrate from my Synology - I have a backup Plex Media Server and storage Sonarr/Radarr/NZBGet - Docker VMs Home Assistant host - Currently running on Proxmoxx (The HP Mini PC in the bottom of the rack) 10GBe NIC (SFP+ Ideally but RJ45 would be fine) I have a Mini-ITX motherboard (Asus ROG Strix X570-I Gaming) and a SFX-L PSU already so I could use those, but now I'm thinking another board might be better. Obviously the SFX PSU won't really fit into a 1 or 2U enclosure. If I can't find a solution, my final plan is a Supermicro SuperChassis 826E16-R920LPB as I can just about find space for it due to the height of it. But Ideally I'd like a solution that fits inside the rack.
