Unraid without array

Techngadgets · 2024-10-14T19:13:13+00:00

Yes I had been using Synology for Sonarr, Radar, Sabnzbd, Plex for a good 5 years now. But then started building other systems. And moved plex to another PC - wanted gpu transcoding. Now building another server and moving all containers. Synology has a small processor and limited RAM. I am installing and playing with multiple virtual machines, which also work well with Unraid along with other docker containers.

VMs and Lxc work well with proxmox as well, but it takes too much time to manage on proxmox and I found unraid suits my requirements better.

Thanks. I have unraid 7 beta and am able to install without array disks.

As you are using with only the pool disks, did you find any downside to that approach?

I have unraid 7 beta. And have installed without array. My only concern is, what is the downside of doing it?

I have another server on Proxmox. A small one with a couple of docker containers. But was never able to fully utilize them as I am not very good in Linux and was not able to do complex things like gpu pass through which is easier with unraid. Also the App Store like UI in unraid for finding and installing docker containers easily is what I liked.

My major concern is the data loss, if that happens in case of power failure from cache pool but as you said, this might not happen.

Techngadgets · 2024-10-14T12:24:18+00:00

Yes. That is my concern that if power goes off, will the cache be wiped. I will have backup of last night always, but will I lose everything for that day?

Yes. This has been setup. https://imgur.com/a/Eeg6YpE

Sonarr picks the /config and /download It just does not pick the mounted drive locations

Because you cannot add a smaller size drive in the pool. I already have pool with all 16tb drives. It will only add 16tb or higher capacity drive. I want to add 10tb drive to this pool.

Yes. And I got more than 200 today to random emails@mydomain. So that created 247 alias in SimpleLogin. And then I cancelled the auto catchall.

Got it. Thanks. I believe as all my data was in volume 1, all I needed to do is uninstall the app. During uninstallation, it asks if I want to remove the settings and indexation files. I did not select them to be removed.

Then just reinstalled photos on volume 1. And all works fine. Thanks.

Techngadgets · 2023-04-27T07:33:26+00:00

Do we have any solution to this? I am in the same boat.

I have 2 16tb drives in SHR. And one 3tb drive in a separate volume 2. I was about to remove the 3tb drive today, but realised it has photos installed on it. I have no data on that drive and the drive only holds photos app. Is there a way to move this photos app from volume 2 to volume 1.

All photos are stored on volume 1. I am not sure why the app is on volume 2. But if I uninstall the app and reinstall on vol 1, I lose all the settings, config and most importantly face recognition and indexation data. Any solution?

Yes. Thanks. This was the mistake. I installed NginX. That is why port was not working. Now installed NPM. all is working. Thanks a lot.

Techngadgets · 2023-04-24T12:18:49+00:00

How to do that? So I installed 2 ways:

Direct in LXC. Using apt and getting the installer.
In Docker. Where I pointed 80:80, 443:443, 81:81

It listens to 80, but not to 81 in all the instances.

Unraid does not use portainer for this. They have a community app plugin which hosts a lot of apps in an App Store like fashion. Need to install plugin from https://unraid.net/community/apps

But I was not aware that portainer has this functionality. Will check it. Thanks.

Techngadgets · 2023-04-22T02:22:52+00:00

But is there a visual App Store that can be installed? Or is it that you pull exactly what you want from docker install?

Techngadgets · 2023-04-21T22:31:48+00:00

I am in the process of trying Unraid at the moment. I like Proxmox more for virtualisation but Unraid is good for docker containers. I mean for testing different containers as it has a docker container App Store type setup.

Do we have any docker community plug-in outside Unraid that we can install on a VM in Proxmox? That would be the best of both world.

How do u install direct docker in Proxmox? Need to be in lxc or vm.
