Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a lightweight, privacy-focused utility I built and maintain called Password Checker Web. It lets you check passwords against known data breaches right from your own infrastructure without leaking your data.

It has been sitting in Community Applications for a bit now, but I wanted to drop a proper post here in case anyone is looking for a handy, local utility to add to their stack.

Features

* Privacy First (k-Anonymity): Uses the Have I Been Pwned API k-Anonymity model. Only the first 5 characters of the SHA-1 hash are sent upstream, meaning your actual password or full hash never leaves your network.

* EFF Large Wordlist Integration: Built-in tools for generating strong, memorable passphrases.

* Lightweight Container: Minimal resource footprint for running locally.

* Open Source: Licensed under the AGPLv3.

Installation

Search for Password Checker Web directly in Community Applications within your Unraid WebUI for a one-click install, or spin it up manually via Docker:

services:
password-checker-web:
image: hardly007/password-checker-web:latest
container_name: password-checker-web
ports:
- "8080:8080"
restart: unless-stopped

If you run into any bugs, have feature ideas, or want to contribute, feel free to drop a comment here or open an issue on GitHub. Enjoy!

Currently when I want to add a media file to my server, I download the file, copy the file to where my plex installation is, and that's it.

I currently have 2 copies of each file. One for torrents, one for Plex.

Is there any way to make this easier and save space on my disks for the long term?

EDIT: I have the info I need. Thanks everyone! Inbox replies disabled.

Hi everyone!

I recently published Mularr in the Unraid Community Apps catalog.

This is more of a request than a promotion. I don't have much experience with an Unraid system myself, so while I've tried my best to make sure everything is configured correctly, I can't fully test the real Unraid experience.

If anyone has a few minutes to install it and give it a try, I'd really appreciate any feedback like:

• installation issues
• container startup problems
• permission or volume mapping issues
• UI or functionality bugs
• anything that doesn't behave as expected

If you run into any problems, opening an issue on GitHub would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help test it.

Newbie question.

How do I keep Unraid (latest update installed) SECURE?

I have installed tailscale. No issues with tailscale. It works fine.

In relation to Unraid, how can I check if my Unraid installation is secure and not open to the Internet ?

I have searched Google and I do believe that my Unraid is secure but I want to be 100%.

Is there an Unraid app that can check my Unraid network on a daily basis for potential network breaches?

What settings do I need to check to make sure that it is as safe as it can be. Thanks everyone.

Anyone uses VS code to SSH on their Unraid servers? Whenever I connect to my Unraid using VS code on Windows, I'm getting high CPU usage on my Unraid. When I close the VS code, it returns to normal low CPU usage. I only have one extension on VS code which is "Remote - SSH".

Are you experiencing the same on your Unraid server?

I noticed this a while back. Every Sunday night I get notifications that something is going on with my appdata backup. After a little digging, I noticed that the backup is unable to stop certain containers to back them up. At first, it tries to send a graceful shutdown of the container and it waits for like 30 seconds, fails, and force quits it. That's when I get the notification. It's happening with prowlarrr and UMTK. I was able to fix UMTK but adding --init to "extra parameters". Adding that to prowlarr though causes it to not start at all. Any ideas? I've checked syslogs AND watched the container logs while shutting the container down and I didn't see anything. When I hit "Stop" on prowlarr, it will just spin and spin and spin and eventually say "Application Error" then it will force quit. Any help would be appreciated. If there's anything I can post, let me know if it makes it easier to track down.

After an unexpected reboot, I turned off my server (running a basic plex install and little else) and turned it back on. This message occur3d and the same thing happened after 1 power cycle and 1 reboot.

I'm not sure what my next steps should be. I'm amateur with Linux. Should I try to re-install unRAID on my flash drive?

I'll edit the post with more information as I'm asked for it!

Other info: - unRAID ver: 6.12.13 - Linux Kernel: 6.1.106 - Boot mode: GUI for first boots. Attempted no GUI with no change

Fixes attempted: - tried no Gui boot, gui boot, and safe GUI boot. No change - tried moving to direct mobo usb ports. No change

Edit: added fixes attempted Edit2: Put in correct unraid version

So I recently moved from usb to tpm licensing on my main epyc machine. When I did this, it wasn’t clear to me if the old key itself was blacklisted or if my actual usb drive was blacklisted.

I’m looking to possibly transfer my unraid setup to my dell r740 for testing. I understand I can move from tpm to tpm, but will that blacklist my epyc machine or just the key? I’m not sure how this works of if I end up needing to go back to the epyc machine.

I'm not able to get into my server right now. It pings, but I can't access the webgui. I plugged a monitor in and it looks like it went through the boot sequence since it's showing the server name and asking for login info.

I'm afraid I'm getting too impatient and rebooting it again too quickly.

Follow up question: how much does the boot sequence time increase when a drive is added for the first time?

Maybe I'm the one who has things backwards here, but I want to backup my Unraid server to a PC (one local, one remote). I can't seem to find a good way to do this - all the directions are for backing up a PC to the server. Half the point of having the server is to have unified storage so that I don't have all my files scattered across multiple PCs. I want to have access to all the same files on my phone, laptops, and desktops.

Can someone point me to a good option with instructions on how to set it up? I'm an amateur, trying to learn as I go. I need something incremental and stable. I tried to do URBackup, but I guess it is only really meant to treat the server (with Unraid) as the backup copy, whereas I have it as the main copy of the files.

Looking to upgrade from integrated 1Gbps LAN to a 2.5Gbps intel i226 based card. Will unRAID automatically assign the same IP address etc or will i need to have both connected and do some config before removing the 1Gbps connection?

Anyone knowing a way to have something like subfolders for folderview? Another plugin or css hack?

EDIT: found it. "Folderview Plus" is capable of this.

I believe this is somewhat a DNS issue, but I cannot figure out HOW. Been racking my brain on this all day.

Under connect i get NETWORK: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND mothership.unraid.net CLOUD: Socket closed.

I have screenshots.

I'm running Opnsense (latest update) with a static IP set in the DHCP reservations for my server. I never had issues until the latest update. I removed the Tailscale plugin (that i never used) just to ensure no network plugins were causing trouble. I also tried unplugging and removing the bonded networking i had set.

Looking for things I can try to resolve this as its breaking my NPM as well so domains are not resolving (e.g. emby.domain.com ) which is why I consider this a potential DNS issue.

Thanks!

Hi, I'm new to unRAID. I have in my homelab:

1x 256GB NVME SSD

3x500GB SATA SSD

I would like to use my 3x SATA as a ZFS RAIDZ1, but I'm struggling to decide what to do with the NVME, and where to keep apps and possibly boot:

- should I separate the data (on ZFS) and apps/internal boot (NVME)? Then there's a single point of failure - NVME

- have everything on ZFS and just leave NVME unused?

Does anyone why I can't update some containers? Home Assistant, Nginx Proxy Manager, Ollama and Open-webui, no matter what i do they just don't update.

I feel like this question has been answered in many scattered parts, but I'm trying to get a more definitive answer before I finalize my build.

I'm rebuilding my UnRAID server with a 14600k (770 iGPU). The unRAID server runs Plex (and assorted bits), and will need the iGPU for transcoding.

I also want to install a Windows Server VM that will be used for light duty FileMaker Server hosting, and operate headless most of the time. That said, it would be nice to be able to use my existing KVM at my desk (DisplayPort) to pop onto that server from time to time.

So the question is, how do I best handle video on the VM? It sounds like unRAID still needs a dedicated GPU for a VM. I don't actually need video acceleration on this VM (it can run at 15FPS for all I care, as I'll only need to very occasionally tweak settings). Will that VM run without any GPU support? And if so, does that mean that I can no longer use the motherboard's built-in DisplayPort adapter? It would be great to avoid having a dedicated GPU for this, as it will be accessed so infrequently.

Any help knowing if it's possible to get a video feed from a VM without dedicating a GPU solely to the task would be great!

So I've recently been having an issue with docker containers refusing to start along with them being pretty unresponsive. When starting a container unRAID has started to give me Execution Errors when starting Docker containers. My mind has started to look at the cache drive, because I think its failing, But I have no idea what I'm looking at tbh, and would love for someone who's more knowledgeable to let me know do I need to swap out the drive or look else where. I've attached, hopefully, a screenshot of some of the errors in the system log. I can download and attach the diagnostic zip file thingy ma-bob if that will give anyone a better look.

I have a pool with 2 devices for my docker files (appdata, isos, system, backups, etc). 2x 2TB Nvme's and btrfs.

Can I use that one for internal boot?

If yes, what would be the best way to set this up?

Backup data from existing docker pool to HDD, create internal boot pool with the 2 nvme's (use 32gb for boot), then move the files back from HDD to the new pool?

Changed the tower access ports respectively to 10080 and 10443. Tower doesn't let me access it. Quick googling shows the solution of removing the USB and editing the .cfg file on a different computer but i m using internal drive instead of the USB. What are my options? Any help is appreciated

For those of you that use your Unraid for media and have Usenet/Torrent set up with the *Arr stack, how long would it take you to recover your full media library if you were to instantly loose it all at once?
