Espressomatic's post in How to install a docker container on Github was marked as the answerYou can clone the repo and push it to your own Docker account and then pull it from hub into Unraid.
What you're going to get screwed on however is that there won't be a template for unraid. And even if there were, Unraid is incapable of using a template if it doesn't come from Community Apps or you edit the automatically created template yourself after. Ya, I couldn't believe it either. Why not just pull the template from Dockerhub along with everything else if it exists as part of the container right?
Anyway, my best recommendation is to instead install portainer and use docker-compose, avoiding all the Unraid docker headaches.

Espressomatic's post in unRAID Connect wants to send notifications via email, it's not setup for this, erroring out once a day was marked as the answerSorry, I should probably have hit apply on my page before suggesting that
Try a bogus email address and it'll allow you to apply.

Espressomatic's post in Link aggregation for the beginner was marked as the answerYour maximum speed to the server is 1Gbps. The only way to change that is to put a faster network card in the server.
Link aggregation, at most, increases your bandwidth - but can't do anything for speed. More bandwidth means more streams at UP TO the same speed. Which means the potential to support more users. So unless you have 2, 3 5 people accessing your server at the same time, you won't saturate the available bandwidth. A good network file copy of very large files is a good way to saturate a link.
You want more speed everywhere, then you need to put 2.5G nics in all your machines, potentially 5 or 10G on your server (if you have multiple ppl accessing) and get 2.5, 5 or 10G switches.

Espressomatic's post in New PC build won't boot to Unraid was marked as the answerThese cover the issues I've had with other install media besides Unraid:
Problems with media creation: How was the new boot USB made? Using the Unraid tool?
Problem with USB Hub/port compatibility/accessibility: Have you tried all the USB ports on your system? Are any ports "extra" and can they be disconnected or disabled in BIOS?
Other USB devices: What else do you have plugged in?
BIOS config: Do you have Secure Boot enabled in the BIOS? Turn it off.
BIOS config: Have you tried disabling UEFI and booting Legacy instead?
Definitely try booting install media for some Linux distros rather than Windows. Debian, Ubuntu, etc.

Espressomatic's post in Bonding 2 NICs will enhance my speed? was marked as the answerBandwidth != speed
Short answer to the OP: NO.
You won't get any extra "speed" at all nor any extra bandwith. You will not be able to bond as your switch won't support it - unmanaged.
Now for some pictures (in the mind)
Imagine sending trucks down a single-lane road at 1 giga-kilometer per hour.
Now imagine sending trucks down a 2 or 3-lane road at 1 giga-kilometer per hour.
The speed is still 1 gkm, but you're moving 3 trucks across the same distance at the same time.
Now imagine that in the back of every truck are your packets.
Some trucks might be full, some might be empty, some might be half full, etc. Maybe only 1 is ever full and the parallel ones are always empty.
Same speed, more bandwidth CAPACITY, but not necessarily any additional throughput. Such a bond is to lessen the potential of a bottleneck when your server is moving a lot of data to/from multiple clients.
If you bond as fail-over, all of this is moot and it's just a single lane like always. And literally everything from end to end has to support the bonding - your clients don't need bonded interfaces, but need to connect to a switch that supports the bond before the server.
A managed switch with the correct bond support is the most important part, IMO.
