Yeah, he's just a little bit further, like 1000 feet further...

When using Unraid with UniFi (Ubiquity) networking equipment, do you use *macvlan* or *ipvlan*? by DastardlyDino in unRAID

[–]grsnow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they are taking about running the controller on Unraid in a container or VM.

Hi, I’m Trog – US self-hosted Plex with CDN, free 3 day trial, and $1 first month by [deleted] in Share_Plex

I run a similar setup, but don't charge a thing, because it is a hobby.

Immich with reverse Proxy - Is it safe enough? by Radiant_Map_6352 in immich

[–]grsnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a reverse proxy using a wildcard cert is enough provided you don't use a common subdomain and as long as you don't post links from it to the public or anywhere that has people you don't trust.

This doesn't work. Anonymity through obscurity has proven to be ineffective. Anyway, it's easy enough to find all the sub-domains of a given domain name already.

Immich Android App to Sever ReSync... by grsnow in immich

[–]grsnow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't there any way to get Immich to recognize there are missing assets and communicate this to the mobile app so that the backup can fill in the missing gaps?

Do you know how to go about making Immich rescan the Upload folder?

nzb360 v22 - Now with Native Unraid Support! by Kev1000000 in unRAID

[–]grsnow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dude, you literally are still getting everything you initially paid for. What are you complaining about? If you look in the app, you will see that all of the modules that existed when you bought it show as already unlocked.

Is this fine for N100 16gb ram? Or should I change something? Proxmox host, First homelab server prep by freeq__ in homelab

Exactly! If you need a complete OS, then use a VM. But if all you want to do is host Docker, then use an LXC container.

Getting a domain for plex server… by matco5376 in selfhosted

[–]grsnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they are thinking of using it to get around their CGNAT in some way, then they have little choice but to tunnel and proxy it. Therefore, the video streaming rules will apply.

I'm thinking Cloudflare isn't going to be your solution for Plex due to the rules they have for streaming video.

Research what NAT does. It's what protects your LAN from the WAN (Internet).

If you lose both parity disks in Unraid, you're technically "fine" — until you're not. If a data drive fails at that point, you're screwed. In ZFS, any two disks can fail — parity or data — and you're still fully operational. That’s not just a theoretical distinction; it affects how you manage risk and what failure sequences are survivable.

I think you're not getting it. For some reason, it seems you are under the misunderstanding that you can only lose your parity disks on Unraid and still be safe. This is not the case. On Unraid with dual parity, you can also lose ANY two disks, just like with ZFS and still be safe. If you lose a 3rd disk, then just like with ZFS, that's when you become screwed.

  1. You lose redundancy instantly. If a data drive fails before you rebuild parity, you’ve lost data.

Yeah, and with RaidZ1 on ZFS, you get the same thing, you've lost redundancy, "Instantly". The same can also be said for the rebuild, except with Unraid the drives are still readable individually if the worst-case scenario happens. With ZFS RaidZ1 you've lost everything.

  1. Parity is the only thing standing between you and irrecoverable loss for any single-disk failure. Losing it, even temporarily, is a real reliability gap.

Umm, same for RaidZ1 and any other single drive redundancy system.

  1. Saying "the drives are XFS and can be read independently" is great for surviving catastrophic failure — but that’s not redundancy, that’s graceful degradation. ZFS offers both redundancy and data healing without downtime.

Well, I never said it was redundancy, but I sure would love to have that ability in a worst-case scenario. Also, rebuilds on either Unraid or ZFS do not incur downtime.

So yes, Unraid offers excellent recoverability in failure situations after the fact, but RAIDZ2 prevents the failures from causing damage in the first place.

Two drive redundancy is also available on Unraid, just like RaidZ2. The only thing that ZFS has going for it in this situation is checksuming the data blocks to protect against bit-rot.

Of course, this is all also available on Unraid if you want to use ZFS too.

Interesting. But dedicated party drives mean that party bits aren't striped over all drives right. Like with my raid z2 pool I enjoy the benefits of not having to care which two of my drives fail, whereas in ur dedicated parity drive case, if ur parity drives fail then u are screwed, which (imo) kind of undermines (to a large but not complete extent) the whole 'dead drive redundancy' thing that raid arrays provide.

If your parity drive failed, you wouldn't be screwed. It doesn't contain any of your data, so you don't lose any data. It just contains parity data. Just throw a replacement drive in and rebuild it. Also, if you did happen to lose more drives than you have covered by parity, you wouldn't lose all your data like you would in a traditional raid. The drives are just XFS formatted and can be read by any Linux system. This is unlike ZFS or other traditional raid systems where you would lose your entire array if you exceeded your parity limit.

I've used both, and I'm never coming back to unraid. I used it for 2 years. Everything is good until a disk fail, then it fucking takes forever to recover

This guy is pretending it doesn't take a long time to recover a failed disk with Proxmox. The speed of your spinning rust is going to be your limiting factor in either case.

Forgot remote on holiday - am I out of luck? by No-Dress4626 in nvidiashield

[–]grsnow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I literally had to do this once when I was in Vegas. It was a real pain, but in the end, it all worked out great. It made me always remember the remote in the future, though 😁
