This is such a handy feature. Ive been using Dynamix's S3 Sleep plugin for a while now. My main server has a user script on a schedule to send an etherwake command to my backup server once a week, the Backup server which also runs unraid runs a user script on array startup which backs up important files and zfs snapshots from up my main server. The S3 Sleep plugin is set to stay awake for a couple of hours after wake via the schedule then to shutdown after that provided the network traffic has stopped. This way i can have backups on another machine without having to run it all the time. The main server also has daily backups in a separate zfs pool as well as duplicati running daily encrypted backups to a remote site.

It's interesting, I have just recently switched over to using my unraid server as a hypervisor and using GPU pass-through as my soul personal computer / gaming PC. So I've run into quite a few hitches with the way unraid implements the VM manager and I wholeheartedly agree with every recommendation you have given so far. I can just imagine how awesome it would be to run an arm CPU virtual machine running Android and being able to use that as perhaps, a set-top box for running Plex Kodi or jelly fin. I'm still very new to using Linux for 100% of my computing so I know there are ways to do it, I'm just not comfortable manually setting that stuff up right now. I currently already have two gpus in my machine, one is the igpu built into my 7950x and the other one is a 3070 TI that I use past through to a Manjaro virtual machine explicitly for gaming and to be used as my normal day-to-day pc. I do have a 1060 that's going to be going in there, I was originally going to use it for transcoding but frankly, this CPU has so many cores and is so fast it's actually faster and better quality to just use the software transcoder anyway. I can easily handle 3 or 4K streams with it so if I'm not going to be using that GPU for transcoding, I have it available for yet another virtual machine and I sure wouldn't mind being able to use it for a little bit more of an off-label use case if you will. As always, love your videos buddy, please keep up the good work. You're the reason why I got into unraid and unraid is the reason why I got into Linux in general and I couldn't be more thankful. ❤

Hi. I'm using dell t620 server as a host to unraid server. Device is located in the basement so s3 sleep is no option for me, long way to go to turn it on. I'm using "expext" script on my router to gracefully shut down server and power it with idrac. Maybe there are better options but it works flawlessly and allows me to save power. (Server works 8 hours in working days and 24/7 at weekends) FYI dell t620 with two e5 low power xeon processors and 6 drives consumes near 120 Wats per hour. I'm planning to replace dell t620 with n100 device and put in in 24/7 working schedule again. Ps: your videos are great. They guide me for years. Thank you for your work. All the best for you.

Thank you for the amazing videos! I do have a question though. When changing the settings for the s3 sleep plugin, does it mean that the plugin will automatically sleep the system and not wake it back up? I assuming that's the case because you provided your userscript that wakes at a set time. I'd love to hear your answer. Thank you! Edit: I forgot to ask, since you can put a custom command in the settings, would using your script or rtcwake still activate that command?

so, once again, top tutorial. did it all and it's working just fine with waking it from my phone. The thing is, if i'm out of home, and that happens, how can i reach the ip of the server if it's the serve that gives me connection to home, with Wireguard? To make my quastion clear, if the server sleeps, and next morning i'm out of home, i can't wake it because i have no way to connect to the lan ... Any sollution? Thank you! ps: i have my pc disconnected when i'm not at home so i can't use it to wake the server.

@SpaceinvaderOne
9 ай бұрын
I haven't tried this myself, I use Emby whose client doesn't support sending a wol packet but I believe the Plex client doesn't support this either. I dont know why Plex/Emby clients on a local network don't send Wake-on-LAN packets if it cant detect the server?? But you could try, and set your nic to respond to unicast packets using ethtool. The command would be ethtool -s eth0 wol u, assuming your nic is named eth0. This might enable your Plex server to wake up when a client attempts to connect. However, it would probably get false wakeups too :(

I got my WOL working and also scheduled sleep S3. But after like 50mins or so, i cant WOL unraid anymore and have to physically press the power button. I cant find any ErP settings or similar in BIOS. I got a n100 mini pc from Cwwl which has actually a ton of settings available in bios but my assumption is, that the NIC is going to a sort of sleep mode still even when in S3. Anyone experiencing the same? I could use RTC for a daily wake up before my backup is running but i also use smb shares which i want to access during the day sometimes, so waking up when needed is essential basically... Been looking for a solution for days now but have a feeling that i will have manually wake up :-/

What do you do if you have a 10GB nic as eth0 and you have eth1 as a on board 1GB nic that supports WOL? Do you assign an UP or just use a WOL cmd in terminal to point to the 1GB nic mac id? Obviously you wouldn't want bonding on?
@Paramonos
7 ай бұрын
I have both connected, assign static IP's and send the WOL to the 1GB nic (the one that supports WOL). However, I also needed to set static IP and the 'metric' in settings-network (the lower the metric, the higher the priority). If I don't do this, my system will assign a lower metric to the 1GB port and traffic will be routed via that nic.

Hi Ed, great video as always! Following your video, I got the sleep part to work but cannot wake it from my Mac (using miniWOL or WakeOnCommand). I am using an HPE microserver Gen8 and the latest unRAID OS, I remember you had a bunch of these servers in your power consumption video - have you tried this on those servers? WOL is turned on in BIOS but I can't see anything related to PCIE Power as you mentioned. I am using eth0 and with the ethtool eth0 command, the option is set to "g". I also found out that by default my built-in NICs are "bonded" (not sure if this makes a difference?); but I have tried "un-bond" them in SETTINGS > Network Settings, restarted the machine and still can't WOL. Can you (or anyone) help please? Cheers!

@joemann7971

Not 100% sure, but could be related to the shield just staying on the entire time. Maybe you need to enable the CEC settings on the TV to tell the shield to turn off. I dont own a shield TV anymore but considering that he said that the plug in pings the devices, you could try using the ping command in the unraid console to see if it still sees the devices until you finally get the right configuration where when it turns off, it's actually off. or at the very least, not responding to pings.

No rtc wake has to be the thing that puts the server to sleep. So if you want the server to goto sleep at a certain time such as mignight, you would use a userscript to run rtc wake at this time. The rtc wake would then wake the server after however long it was set for eg 8 hours

Um thats strange it cant freeze the system due to samba. Heres what you can try. Before sleep restart the samba service this may then allow for the system to go into sleep correctly. In the s3 sleep plugin you can run command before sleep so use this line /etc/rc.d/rc.samba restart that will restart the server before sleep. You could even stop the service before sleep with /etc/rc.d/rc.samba stop then use the command for when it wakes /etc/rc.d/rc.samba start to start when it comes out of sleep. However this will only work from the s3 sleep plugin. if not using this to sleep the server you would have to manually put these commands in or script it. Hope this helps

@SpaceinvaderOne

No you would not use sleep in that case on a virtualized system. Just set your disk setting in Unraid /settings/disk settings set the "Default spin down delay" to 15 mins or however long you want there to be in activity before the drives are spun down. I assume on your proxmox you are passing through an hba which the disks are connected to so this should work fine saving power when disks are inactive.
