Hey folks, my cranky old #Synology #NAS is getting full and I'm thinking about upgrades. I don't think I want to buy another commercial NAS and I have an AM5 motherboard doing literally nothing. Sny opinions on #unraid vs #truenas ? (I mostly use for #plex streaming and local backups) but may consider moving my #HomeAssistant install to the box too in the future). #homelab

Get your self-hosted Nextcloud this weekend!

Our friend Ed aka SpaceInvader One shows you how to set up the full-featured Nextcloud All-In-One stack on Unraid, complete with Collabora Online, Talk, Redis, Borg backups, and more!

So there seem to be 28TB #HDDs available already.. And here I was surprised that I could pick up a 24TB disk after thinking 22TB was the largest you could buy.

I know that there's those SMR 32TB drives as well but I want to stick with CMR for the new #NAS.

Now having 3 of them means I can setup my new #unraid parity (at 2 disks) and have a single data disk for the pool. Also being that I'm using 28TB disks I should have close to a 220TB raw pool once I'm done adding all 10 disks.

I also picked up 2 4TB NVMe drives for the cache pool that I'll run in mirrored mode, so the new server should have a decent amount of throughput. I'll stick in the 10Gbe ethernet adapter I saved from my old Threadripper system but that means I might need another switch in the office that provides 10Gbe RJ45

Nextcloud umask – trial and error

Here’s a quick guide for those of you running nextcloud and have a very specific set of circumstances like I do, pertaining to the docker umask.

#2024 #docker #nextcloud #permissions #umask #unraid

And, Unraid is going with annual subscriptions (with a "lifetime" option) instead of the perpetual licensing model.

After testing TrueNAS, CasaOS and Ubuntu Server on my #homelab server, I heard about #unraid. How did I not know about it before?!?

Set it up with a new dual SSD drive RAID1 setup and it's working great. I like the interface and support for both VMs and #Docker. $59 for up to 5 drives but using 30day trial now. Working on a #Cloudflare Tunnel setup for secure remote access.

#Introduction

Hello all, I'm a #technologist in #NorthCarolina. I am #retired from a career in #IT but, I still do some side work from time-to-time. I have always been a huge fan of #FOSS and run several #Linux machines including my #HomeLab media server running #Unraid. I prefer my TVs dumb with a #MiniPC or #SBC attached running #Kodi (#LibreELEC).

Alright #fediverse peeps, anyone working on #unraid #docker containers for #peertube and #pixelfed? There seems to be masto and owncast ones.

sucks game devs are cracking down on cheating by banning virtual machines. There are dozens of us that our gaming rig is a #vm in #unraid or other #linux distro. To get #eldenring (EAC) working (again) all I needed to do was add <smbios mode='host'/> to the <os> block of my Windows 11 xml. I'm sure the cheaters wont figure that out, too... Let the cat and mouse games begin.

I guess I tricked #unraid into giving me free storage?

#Unraid rules. #Docker rules. Oh man I wish I had this my whole life, i'm glad I spent the past couple years setting up a big box.

Just picked up a new cpu for the #Unraid server. #Ryzen #5950X So many possibilities with those extra 4 cores / 8 threads. I will probably isolate 2 more cores for my gaming VM, and 2 more cores for #docker such as this mastodon instance.
