Unraid – Unmountable: Volume not encrypted

So I got this error on my Unraid server for a drive, “Unmountable: Volume not encrypted” for a drive I had used on another server. There was nothing on the drive I wanted so I just wanted to overwrite or format it.

Finally found a link to just overwrite the filesystem.

All of my RAM is not showing up in Unraid

So I bought some RAM recently in one of those bins on clearance because it was opened, etc. I installed it with another two sticks I already had. All four sticks are DDR4, of course, but the old ones were 2x8GB 26666, and the new ones are 2×16 GB 3200. Unraid would only show 16GB usable rather than the 48GB. Unraid did notice them, but they were unable to be used.

After some googling which didn’t get me anywhere, I decided to remove all the sticks and just use the new ones in A2 and B2. Well, now Unraid shows 32GB of RAM usable. So next, I put in the other two sticks in A1 and B1. Boom!!! Now it can use all 48GB. I assume it has to do with a mismatch in either speed or capacity.

Motherboard: Asrock B450M Pro4

traefik v3 example with uptime-kuma

Here is an example of Traefik, using Uptime-Kuma as an example with a domain for it plus using letsencrypt to secure the domain. We also redirect HTTP to HTTPS.

The Traefik dashboard is not secure, so please implement security or a firewall.

This is just an example.

version: "3"

services:

    container_name: uk1
    volumes:
      - ./uk1-data:/app/data

tls: failed to verify certificate: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority

In building a docker image for a Go application using the Apline image, I kept getting this error “tls: failed to verify certificate: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority”. I thought it was something with the code I was writing, but it had to do with the docker image.

Adding this to your Dockerfile should fix the problem. The problem is that the docker container doesn’t have the necessary certs to validate the connection. You might also get around this issue by adding the “ca-certificates” package to the image, but I didn’t try that.

COPY --from=builder /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt /etc/ssl/certs/

or (depends on how your building your image)

COPY /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt /etc/ssl/certs/

Install dotnet core on Ubuntu 22.04

These are the steps I used to install dotnet core on Ubuntu 22.04, both the SDK and the runtime.

apt update
apt install -y apt-transport-https
wget https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/22.04/packages-microsoft-prod.deb -O packages-microsoft-prod.deb
dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb
rm packages-microsoft-prod.deb
apt update
apt install -y dotnet-sdk-7.0
apt update
apt install -y aspnetcore-runtime-7.0

To verify installation run the following commands. If the below doesn’t work try to open a new ssh session or terminal.

dotnet --list-runtimes

Microsoft.AspNetCore.App 7.0.2 [/usr/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.AspNetCore.App]
Microsoft.NETCore.App 7.0.2 [/usr/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App]

dotnet --list-sdks

7.0.102 [/usr/share/dotnet/sdk]
root@srv4311:~# 

If you tried previously to install version 7.0 make sure you remove/purge the old version from the system. Something like below.

apt remove --purge dotnet-sdk-6.0 dotnet-runtime-6.0
apt auto-remove

Also maybe delete the .dotnet folder in your home directory.

Updated to MacBook Air M1

Recently updated to a MacBook Ari M1. I’ve never been a fan of Apple products but I found it on sale and I was doing more work with Linux, Golang, and Docker so this met my needs. It was either this or find a good laptop for Linux.

Please visit my Mac page for more information on apps I’ve started to used for development.

Unraid Upgrade – EMC KTNSTL3

I recently updated my Unraid to use an EMC KTNSTL3 storage array. I use a lot of small drives which are really cheap.

So far it’s working great. Bought it on eBay.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/284306911248

I’m using SATA drives so you need to buy the Interposers. They turn your SATA into SAS drives so they fit in the caddy.

You’ll need 15 of them otherwise you can use straight SAS drives.

There does appear to be one quirk you need to know. Only one set of the SAS controllers reads SATA drives. I think it’s the bottom one so hook up your mini SAS cables there.

Also, I had some 14TB drives that I just installed and they kept giving me an “unsupported partition layout”. To fix this I just had to reboot the Unraid box. I’m not sure why but it worked after that.

You’ll also need a SAS card as well. I have the LSI 9200-8e. Something like the pic below. You can buy them on eBay too. I like this seller https://www.ebay.com/str/theartofserver .

There was some useful information below however it related to TrueNAS.
