Taylor Parizo<p>Unraid has been great so far. I only have a single 16TB drive in now while I setup a lot of applications and then I'll move over the other 4 drives and configure parity. </p><p>Unraid will be a main network NAS and the goal is to get traefik and cloudflare tunnels setup for full selfhosting capabilities. I'm thinking nextcloud and immich to start.<br><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/selfhosted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>selfhosted</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/nas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nas</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/unraid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>unraid</span></a></p>
Taylor Parizo<p>Spent my Friday evening at Micro Center and it was a night well spent. The NAS is about to get a massive overhaul once my case arrives. Going with the Fractal Design Define 7 XL to fit numerous drives and a GTX 1070 for Plex transcoding. </p><p>Oh and Unraid to manage it all. <br><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/nas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nas</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/selfhosted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>selfhosted</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/unraid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>unraid</span></a></p>

Andreas Gohr<p>more specifically, why did you pick <a href="https://fedi.splitbrain.org/tags/unraid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>unraid</span></a> over a <a href="https://fedi.splitbrain.org/tags/zfs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>zfs</span></a> or <a href="https://fedi.splitbrain.org/tags/btrfs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>btrfs</span></a> solution?</p>

MidniteMikeWrites<p>In the past year I've deployed 40+ services on my network. Think I've too eagerly ran headfirst into the pains of network management.

Gavin Campbell<p>My flash drive in my Unraid server was going bad so went down the road of replacing it. <br>Ordered multiple sets of different flash drives from amazon and non of them would work because they had no GUID. <br>Any Unraid recommended drives were no longer available.

Xap Mapcase<p>Linux people - anyone conversant with Unraid os? Particularly 32bit version 5.0.6? Know someone trying to work with it who's running into issues bc it's "old", so apparently resources are kinda gone these days. Anything you can recommend (eg: how to setup ways to add, edit, remove files folders, and setup for remote access) etc would be appreciated.</p><p><a href="https://kind.social/tags/LinuxHelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxHelp</span></a> <a href="https://kind.social/tags/Unraid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Unraid</span></a> <a href="https://kind.social/tags/xapAsks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>xapAsks</span></a></p>
