QNAP server is on 1.42.2, and I see even like Netgear and TerraMater NAS systems are on 1.143.1..... Did something happen where qnap isn't getting any updates?

Hello all,

I was hoping someone might be able to help me. Yesterday, I suffered two power cuts - a short one and then a longer one. We get a few power cuts every year where I live. If it causes issues with the QNAP I do a soft reset and it solves the problem. However, this time, I’m unable to reset my password. I use the qcloud code which takes me to the password change screen, then I get an error. There’s a solid red light on the unit. All four HDDs are green.

I’ve opened a ticket with QNAP but not had a response yet. My Plex server is hosted on the QNAP so I’d like to get it up and running asap.

Any ideas how this can be resolved, please? It’s a TS-453D.

I have a Sparkle Intel Arc A310 but it's not supported and I'm just kinda lost.

Do I need to find a different card and if so which one is compatible? Because the list is of only ancient cards without even decode, let alone encode AV1 functionality.

Any assistance or a walkthrough that I just didn't find on how to make my A310 work would be greatly appreciated.

I logged into my QNAP TS-453Be a few days ago and I had a disk warning. It was really late so I shut the NAS down to deal with later.

I started it up tonight and it won't boot up now. It's stuck on the "Starting" screen. I only see this if I hook up a display. The NAS has 4 green lights for the hard drives.

I forced a shut down and tried booting it without drives in it. It gets to the setup screen with this and tells me it needs a drive.

If I assume the drive with the warning is causing the issue, would swapping in a new drive start the rebuild process?

Hi!

I have a QNAP TS-651 with 16 GB RAM and disks configured as 2×2 TB + 2×4 TB HDD. Now I'm thinking of installing 2×2 TB 2.5" SSDs to be able to use SSD CACHE "Not SSD Profing"

Has anyone here tested this on the TS-651 (or similar model)? Which SSDs are you using and how does it work in practice?

We welcome tips and experiences!

Ciao,

ho un qnap ts-233 e sto organizzando tutte le foto raccolte negli anni. Le foto ed i video sono molti e sto riscontrando molta lentezza con qumagie, che inoltre non mi genera le miniature per i video. Ho cercato delle alternative ed ho capito che Immich è un'ottima alternativa, ma che probabilmente il mio qnap non lo riuscirebbe a far girare.

Mi piace molto l'idea di poter avere il riconoscimento dei volti e le altre funzioni intelligenti, ma forse poter fruire rapidamente dei contenuti è più utile.

Ci sono alternative a qumagie che mi permettono questo e possono offrire un'esperienza d'uso simile a google photo?

grazie

Hi! I installed some CLI apps from MyQNAP (htop, nano, tmux), but when I try to start them I get error: Error opening terminal: xterm-256color, although

$ echo $TERM

xterm-256color

What should I do?

Good day.

I recently bought a TR-004 and very news to DAS.

I placed them in the following.

Bay#1 [12TB](unformatted) | Bay#2 [10TB](unformatted) | Bay#3 [500GB] | Bay#4 [1TB]

The device is undetectable by the QNAP Manager.

I was able to access the both drive on Bay#3 and #4 directly, able to initialize Bay#2 via Disk Management. Bay#1 is showing 20million GB in Disk Management and able to initialize.

TL:DR

I swapped the Bays around and the QNAP Manager is able to pick up the TR-004 and access all the drive except drive subsequent to the 12TB.

Is this normal?

Thank you.

I've been limping along on a TS-451+ (4 2TB drives) with a TR-004 connected (4 4TB drives). It's been running 24/7 for 9 years. I had no idea what I was doing when I set it up and everything is a mess. I also bought them at separate times. There was no planning here. I moved over from a Drobo (remember those guys?) which was pretty much hands-off.

Just arrived today - TVS-h674 with the Core i5 and 32gb. On the way are 6 16TB drives. Then comes the fun but frustrating part of migrating everything over!

UPDATE: disctech called me yesterday to say they didn't have enough WD Red Pro NAS drives at $336 but had WD Ultra Star datacenter drives at $399 each. Then they called me today to say their supplier can't deliver the WD Ultra Stars but they have Seagate Exos for $499. However he honored the $399 price to get this fulfilled. Personal calls back to back and really understood the use case. Love this level of service and excited to get. Exos drives on the cheap.

I've just upgraded to 900Mbps fibre and I'm seeing pretty bad speeds from usenet on my NAS. Using Nord VPN (UDP) and peaking at about 120Mbps. If I drop the VPN speeds climb to about 400Mbps. I've tried multiple servers with broadly the same result. I don't think it's a CPU issue as processor use is hovering around 60%. I'm struggling to work out if the issue is Nord or the NAS. Any ideas please?

It's taken me a while but I put together a traefick stack for use on my QNAP but when I start up the stack, I get this error message

[admin@NASF8ED6 traefik]# docker exec -it traefik traefik --configFile=/etc/traefik/traefik.yaml

2026-04-17T18:37:29Z ERR Command error error="command traefik error: error while building entryPoint dashboard: error preparing server: error opening listener: listen tcp :21900: bind: address already in use"

[admin@NASF8ED6 traefik]#

It does not matter what high port I select, the message that the port is in use appears.

Anyone have any input to help me fix this?

Hello!

I went to holiday, and after we got home i found out that someone is created a new user, and a folder. How that could be happened? No logins from my only account around that time (admin user is disabled, and i have an another account that is use as admin).
I have a TS-228, 4.3.6.2441 version.

Thanks all the infi Since then the same user was recreated by SYSTEM. I think itnis time for a hardware update too

tried to loginto my ts-464 a few days ago and discovered that I am locked out. Tried all my different user names and passwords but keep getting account invalid message. Have tried loging in with admin/1st mac, admin/2nd mac after a reset, thru the qfinder, open to any suggestions

Hello all, I have a qnap NAS that I network to using Qfinder and recently when I go to network my shared drives (in OSX) I am seeing volumes come up that I did not make and that do not show up in the Filestation in the browser interface? I am not sure how these are getting made and how I can get rid of them. They only appear in my volume list in Qfinder, they will not mount (I get a ‘problem connecting to the server’ error when I try) and can’t seem to find a way to remove them? Sorry I’m not well versed in networking but it seems this shouldn’t be happening. Thanks again for any help.

I've upgraded my qvs-h464 to a 20 core CPU and maxed the ram. still, performance sucks. I am tired of running ancient, non-updatable chrome and totally nonstandard packages.

here's my challenge: I have an 8 drive extension rack, and I would like to migrate the zpools without having to copy them. is the qnap zfs compatible enough with the openzfs used by trueNas?

I was doing some tests on my TS-473A, and for safety reasons I removed the DOM. However, I didn't realize it had an epoxy adhesive on it, and I pulled so hard that one of the pins broke.

I'm not very handy with soldering, so I bought another DOM, but now I'm finding that it's impossible to get the firmware.

Does anyone happen to have one they could share with me?
