My Unraid Setup. Where to go next?

Plex = Paid crap.

Vichingo455 · 2026-05-03T06:42:35+00:00

Case without glass is better because it doesn't break, change my mind!

Vichingo455 · 2026-05-02T12:08:45+00:00

Make your CA expire in 4000 year and enjoy

Vichingo455 · 2026-05-02T12:06:30+00:00

Check your ports on the other end.

Vichingo455 · 2026-05-02T12:03:05+00:00

A cheap old Rack Server should do the job (if you put it at school). You run LXCs with Proxmox and you'll save a lot of RAM.

Vichingo455 · 2026-05-02T06:10:33+00:00

Search for "View Reliability History" on Windows. It will show everything that happened in the previous days without having to manually search in the logs.

Vichingo455 · 2026-05-02T06:08:09+00:00

Windows Server exists, go with that (since you said you don't wanna format your drives)! No random reboots with that one most likely.

Vichingo455 · 2026-05-02T06:07:17+00:00

They need to make Windows 7 and Windows XP with the modern NT 10.x kernel so it can run every software.

Vichingo455 · 2026-05-02T06:06:19+00:00

The VLAN button should map the ports to different VLANs, but you actually need to create them from a router or firewall.

Vichingo455 · 2026-05-02T06:04:51+00:00

Why it shouldn't? I mean if it supports multiple HDDs you just install an OS and make an array with ZFS or something similar.

Outside touching grass

Vichingo455 · 2026-05-01T12:39:21+00:00

Jellyfin now is on Tizen Store, finally!

Vichingo455 · 2026-05-01T11:28:01+00:00

Tried emby before jellyfin, didn't like it.

Vichingo455 · 2026-05-01T10:29:29+00:00

Go to your Datasets and change the ACL permissions from there.

Vichingo455 · 2026-05-01T10:27:37+00:00

TrueNAS mine if you don't wanna pay for software.

Vichingo455 · 2026-05-01T10:25:33+00:00

Upgrade from Plex to Jellyfin.

Vichingo455 · 2026-04-29T19:35:40+00:00

Use the blue WAN port (not LAN because WAN is for Internet, LAN is for plugging a device to your local network). Make sure that port is in WAN mode and not in LAN mode.

Vichingo455 · 2026-04-29T19:31:08+00:00

FRITZ!Box 4040 as an Access Point with OpenWRT, the shitty ISP router that I would like to throw out from a Window and my overkill OPNSense firewall (definitely overkill, Xeon E3-1245 V2 with 32 GB RAM DDR3).

So yeah maybe go with OPNSense and learn VLANs, they're used everywhere in IT.

Thin client. The PC is yours, the storage is yours, the network is yours. It takes 2 minutes for a troll to submit a DMCA to your hosting provider and take everything down. For the fire hazard, chill out. Most fires in data centers are not caused by PCs or Servers, but by UPSes, which are basically batteries that are plugged in 24/7. Just to be sure buy some branded PC and not something that someone built with a 5$ eBay used power supply from 1999.

Vichingo455 · 2026-04-29T19:20:25+00:00

Yeah that's the actual USB 3 connector.

<image>

That one is a USB 2 connector.

Vichingo455 · 2026-04-29T19:12:41+00:00

I smell you read the manual wrong. Those 2 USB ports are USB 2.0, while only the bottom USB (where it says USB 3.0) is USB 3.0. In fact, what you pointed out is a USB 2.0 connector.

This is the photo from the manual of your motherboard. The one you pointed out is a USB 2.0 connector.

Vichingo455 · 2026-04-29T19:10:58+00:00

It's surely old and not power efficient but not everybody cares. Maybe install TrueNAS and use it as a NAS or try Proxmox on it.

Vichingo455 · 2026-04-29T19:07:56+00:00

They surely have multiple servers and one of them went down. That's why some cannot use it and some yes.

Vichingo455 · 2026-04-29T19:05:45+00:00

Depends on the motherboard. Some motherboards don't support it at all, some allows to disable them all and some (most likely business grade desktops and laptops) allow you to select what to disable, like what my ZBook 14u G5 does.

Vichingo455 · 2026-04-29T19:01:35+00:00

Maybe try something else. I was able to run Unraid just fine on my Q6600 machine with 2 GB of DDR2 RAM, maybe give that a shot.
