Hi all!

So I have this NAS I got from a secondary market running just fine, but TOS 4 feels outdated and not reliable security-wise, I don't really trust TOS7 given all the AI slop introduced to it, and since apparently it runs an ARM processor, my options are quite limited, openmediavault has no arm images so my main attempt would be to go for truenas-on-arm: https://forums.truenas.com/t/truenas-on-arm-now-available/49160

I wonder if anyone from here can help me out improving the usability and performance of this device, I have yet to open it up to check whether it has an available RAM slots or not, but in any case my usecase is fairly simple, I just want my two disks to work as a locally attached storage using a RAID1 or similar implementation, so then I can access my files locally and perform backups via duplicati (hosted on a separate server).

Any advice or idea is welcomed!! I'm already checking into youtube tutorials but all models being modified seem to be more capable than mine, so I'm kind of clueless.

For reference, I found this article that might be worth checking for anyone on a similar situation and more options than myself: https://www.reddit.com/r/TerraMaster/comments/s5jkgj/how_to_change_your_terramaster_software_for/

Hi all. I recently purchased a F2 425 nas and have migrated my media library to it from my pc. Jellyfin was installed directly through TOS7's App center and updated it directly there (the client versions however dont match 10.11.0 in Jellyfin and 10.11.15 in App Centre). I added intro skipper into the repositories tab but when i refresh or restart jelly fin it does not appear on the catalogue page for me to install. i have removed it from the repo tab, removed and uninstalled and reinstalled repos to see if they were affecting the install but have had zero luck. does anyone have any suggestions?

Has anyone successfully launched flaresolverr within Container Manager (previously called Docker Manager) on TOS7? Mine fails every time and i've pasted the relevant log entry as an image.

I've launched several other containers without issue (radarr, jackett, transmission), but flaresolverr is beyond me.

NAS: Terramaster F4-424 Pro

TOS version: 7.0.1105

Container Manager version 2.2.025

Image Registry: flaresolverr/flaresolverr

I've also attached an image of the container configuration as launched. Clearly the issue is with the entrypoint as "/usr/bin/dumb-init --", however I checked the source on github (https://github.com/FlareSolverr/FlareSolverr/blob/master/Dockerfile) and it has the same entrypoint.

I even tried launching with the option selected to "Enable high permissions to execute the container" but the error is the same

I would deeply value any suggestions, especially if someone is successfully running flaresolverr on TOS7

I have an issue with Plex (latest version) now that I've upgraded my F4-424 Pro to TOS 7. Plex says the TV Shows and Movies are unavailable. I can see them in the File System on the NAS.

When I upgraded, there was something about file permissions, and I let it do it by default (not the manual option). I suspect it has something to to with that. When I go to add (or re-add) a Movie folder, I get to homes and them my main folder name, but then it does show anything in there (from within Plex). There should be folders, but nothing shows.

Has anyone come across this? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

I was previously using a WD PR4100 that was 8 years old to manage my home Plex server and started to have issues with drives. I have SMART errors on a couple of drive that I will need to swap out. My WD80EFAX drives aren’t compatible to RAID with the newer WD Red Plus drives. I researched all over to find a JBOD (just a bunch of discs) DAS (direct attached storage) device to work with my Unraid server. I have this installed on a Dell Optiplex Micro over USB-C 3.2 gen2 to get 20Gbps 10Gbps. The TerraMaster D4-320 allows me to run the DAS without a RAID, Unraid handles the main drives and parity drive, for more functionality and future expansion. As my drives fail, I can swap them out for any drive really and maintain full functionality.

After purchasing the D4-320 DAS from the official TerraMaster website, I completed an official customer survey about why I chose the DAS and ended up winning a WD Red Plus 10TB HDD, shown in the picture. Thank you TerraMaster.

I keep running into an error while trying to migrate my plex server.

I've been following plex's instructions pretty carefully. I've gotten all the way to the point where I've copied everything from the Mac (Source) Plex Media Server folder into the TOS6's (Destination) folder. I skipped the additional server settings (com.plexapp.plexmediaserver.plist).

The road block I run into is: when I try to re-enable plex media server on the NAS after rebooting, I get a window saying Operation failed!.
I did try an install with re-enabling the plex server without the reboot, and it successfully re-enabled, but still viewed the NAS as a separate server than the original one.

I did find this in another post here "You have to go into BOTH folders, go to permissions, go to the dropdown box and instead of users or user groups, select applications and allow it to have access to not only the media folder but the folder the app itself installed" I did change the permissions as suggested, but still not having any luck. Is there another set of permissions I need to look into?

The plex guide does say this:
"For Linux/NAS systems, make sure that the directories and contents are all owned by plex:plex (or whichever user you have running Plex Media Server under)."
I've noticed the owner of the Plex folder is listed as the admin account I used to install the Plex Media Server (version 1.43.3.10861), but I haven't found a way to change the owner if that's what needs to be done.

This is my first time using a NAS, so hopefully it's something small I've overlooked. I have the NAS set up in TRAID. Let me know if there's any other important info I didn't mention.
