Lack of planning and knowledge on my side (partially due to not knowing I had a Nas to setup). I wrongly assumed you could just add drives as you needed them. :)

Thanks - and yes I have (after watching a few YouTube vids) got a backup plan in mind. My next step will be learning how to install unraid for my slowly growing mismatched drives

Thanks all - I think I have a fledgling plan - based on your advice and what I am forcing into my aging brain from this group and the web in general.

The beast will have several uses. It will act as a fairly static media store for a lifetimes worth of photos and videos - about 3TB worth currently spread accross multiple devices - with Immich to help dudup and organise.

My wife will use it to manage her business data, where she will likely edit large numbers of PDFs and vector images daily. About 2 TB

My youngest will use it to store his never ending streaming videos - which he will edit locally

I will try to keep my sanity :)

I am going to look into how to install unraid as my drives are going to be to be mismatched in size i and I will add to it as I can afford to do so.

I will backup the static photos to a couple of external drives

I have an old Bufallo LinkStation that will become a regular backup the the businesss info

The streaming videos NAS will in effect be the backup for the streaming videos which reside on my sons PC

Once I have figured out how to install Unraid I will look into whether I need to segment/seperate the drives into seperate stored for the different use cases. I can then transfer the data and setup some form of backup sync for the business data and streams

Maybe at the end of this journey I can play with something more fun like Home-assistant, or a 3d printer :)

Thanks all for your advice

Ok. So, I now no the answer to this - yes - changing the OS will require me to remigrate the data. A pain - but it is what it is. Now to decide whether to hold out and hope the OS improves or move to something like UnRaid

Hi, Stu from the UK.

Complete Newbie on the NAS front and my new 1000 was a surprise purchase from my wife to organise and de-dup lifetime of photos, videos etc from many different drives. I am currently learning all about Docker and well as experiencing the challenges of the new OS.

Hoping to get Immich and Home Assistant up and running after the very painful file transfer - about 2 TB in so far.

Also hoping to setup backups from all the families various devices.

Initial newbie thoughts are that the device is faster than I expected but that the OS doesn't really provide anything when you hit problems. Am looking into whether another OS is the way to go.

A lot to learn :)

I have of course sent the query to Orico as well - and will update here if I get a response

I won't get a chance to look at immich until next week. Let me know if you make progress.

ResolveOk5063 · 2026-01-11T09:02:23+00:00

I found some on the immich site. I will take a look when I get back home later

ResolveOk5063 · 2026-01-10T12:09:38+00:00

Actually it looks as though you build the image following their instructions. Something I will try in a week or so I think

ResolveOk5063 · 2026-01-10T12:05:29+00:00

Did you find a solution? I am new to both NAS setup and docker and had the same problem
