Hi LEKO, welcome. I just joined here a few days ago. I'm not an IT/Networking professional but similarly I started using unRAID about 2 years ago for family and home network organization and some music streaming. There are very smart members here and the forums are a great resource as you learn more about the OS. I built this DIY-NAS as my primary along with a couple backup unRAID systems with spare hardware. unRAID makes it easy for the builds and I enjoy how it can be customized with various apps. If you have not already seen SpaceInvader One's Youtube tutorials, check those out, he provides very good guides for new users.

For any FL Gator fans out there. Just a simple banner I made. It scales OK with just a little stretch/distortion on bigger screens.

Made a simple colorful banner from an old background to share. It seems to scale well if you have a large screen.

Just joining and wanted to say hey. I’ve been an unRAID user for about 2 years and been very pleased with the performance and capabilities. My utilization is fairly basic with unRAID on a small NAS server for my family’s home network of desktop PC’s, notebooks, etc. storing important files on shares. The inspiration to build a NAS was digitizing all my music to a shared library for organization/access. I enjoy audio tech and I use the NAS to stream FLAC format music files using Foobar2000 as the player. unRAID works great and I’ve already purchased 2 other licenses for a backup server using spare parts and another portable mini-ITX SFF that I’ll use as a remote backup. Getting familiar with Rsync commands and reading through the forums here was a great help. Here’s the build of my primary DIY mini-ITX server
