I've been digging around on GitHub. RSS in WebUI has actually been ready for 2 months, but the team keep adding new issues that they want to do before they release 4.2.6. https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/milestone/61

Having the same issue on a new Debian VM.

I'm a new user of unRAID, but I'll try to explain. unRAID OS is loaded from the flash drive to RAM on every boot. Changes to settings are written to the flash drive when needed. If you're worried about scripts and such (cron jobs), that's supported, and will work in unRAID. Other than that, files can be stored on the array, cache drive, or an individual drive that's not part of the array.

"Folder" and "folder" were to separate folders. "folder" contained some files, while "Folder" were empty. I accessed the share from my Windows pc over the network. When I deleted "Folder", everything inside "folder" was deleted. You should install the "recycle bin" plugin in case you accidentally delete something. Edit: they were not linked in any way.

Since my drives had been mirrored, only one drive in each mirror could be read by unRAID. In your situation, that shouldn't be a problem. You should be able to mount the drives with "Unassigned devices" plugin, and use something like "binhex-krusader" to move the files over to your shares on the array disks. I ended up connecting my old NTFS drives to another Windows machine on the network, and copying the files over to my unRAID shares. That works fine, but it takes longer time because it's limited to 1 gb/s, so it would be quicker to connect the drives directly to your unRAID machine. Be aware that Windows and Linux treats folders with capitalized letters differently. I had a folder named "folder", and accidentally created "Folder". When I deleted "Folder" in the unRAID share, from my Windows pc, everything in "folder" also got deleted.

I also messed up my configuration accidentally. You should be able to just stop the container and edit the config file in appdata.

I've been using RSS a lot on qBittorrent on Windows, and I'm missing that function on the Web UI. Is there any way to see the normal UI over VNC or something similar? Or do I have to set up something like FlexGet to download the torrent files, and then have qBittorrent monitor folders.

Alright. I remember reading something like this, will definitely keep this in mind. Thanks for the heads up.

My first post might have been a little unclear. Yes, I'm turning a Windows machine into a unRAID machine. In Windows disk manager, I can "break mirror", which effectively just creates 2 identical basic NTFS drives. I'm 99% sure this would be no different than plugging any other Windows drive into unRAID. Buying a new 8TB is not worth it, but I might copy some of the data over on other unused drives, SSD in another computer etc. to have some form of backup before doing this.

I appreciate the feedback, but both of you seem to misunderstand somewhat. The most likely cause of data loss for me would be drive failure. Both unRAID and Windows software raid protects against that (the chance of 2 drives failing at the same time is low enough to not be an issue) . I'm perfectly aware of the difference between redundancy and backup. That's why I have been doing offsite backups of everything I cannot afford to loose, for 10+ years. I only have about 6TB of data, most of which can be replaced. If my house burns down, having another 8TB backup disk laying around won't help. It would be nice to have more than one copy of my data when setting up unRAID though, but it's simply not worth the price. Is there anything in particular that I should be extra careful about when setting up unRAID?

That's why I'm currently using SpiderOak to backup everything that is important. Most of it can be replaced. I don't have any extreme storage needs, so spending 500$+ (yes, this is correct) to get new 8TB drives is out of the question. Does it make sense setting up the system in the order I listed? What are some examples of operations that can lead to data loss? (misclicking).

I'm looking to finally set up unRAID, and I've got some questions. My current volumes look like this (Windows software raid): Volume A - 2 disk mirror, 4TB usable: Disk 1 - 4TB Disk 2 - 4TB Volume B - 2 disk mirror, 4TB usable: Disk 3 - 4TB Disk 4 - 4TB These was set up 5 years apart, so it made sense at the time to do it like this. For various reasons, I'd like to only have 2 data drives and 2 parity drives. As I understand it, the array will continue to work even if both data drives fail, and only the 2 parity drives are working. So it doesn't matter which physical drive is assigned what role (I have 2 new drives, 2 old). Does it make sense to set up the drives in this order?: Remove disk 2/4 from my Windows machine, they will hold the only copies of my data. Install unRAID, preclear disk 1/3. Set up a new volume with 1 data drive, and 1 parity drive. Connect disk 2. Use the "Unassigned devices" plugin to mount disk 2 (NTFS file system). Move data from disk 2 to my unRAID array. (How do I do this, can I do it natively in unRAID, or do I need the Krusader plugin?) Preclear disk 2 Expand my array (It will now have 2 data drives, 1 parity drive). Connect disk 4, mount it, and move data to my array. Preclear disk 4, set it up as 2nd parity drive. I'll have to migrate Plex and qBittorrent to Docker. Plex should be relatively easy, but I can imagine having to add all torrents in qBittorrent manually since I'm moving from Windows to Docker. To sum up: Does it make sense to move my data in this order? How do I set up the filesystem on the individual disks. Is everything done by setting up shares, or can I manually create folders? Do I use "Unassigned devices" and "Krusader" plugins to move data to my array? I don't want to accidentally loose anything... Is there a way to migrate torrents from qBittorrent Windows to Docker? Can I see the GUI of programs running in Docker? For example, how do I see the qBittorrent UI? (apart from the Web UI). Is there a popular way of doing backups? I'm considering running backups from a Windows machine (network or VM) to be able to use SpiderOak. How does fan control on a normal pc case work? Is there a way for unRAID to control fans connected to motherboard fan connections? Or perhaps I will need to use a dedicated fan controller and USB-passthorugh to a VM. Anything else I must know about before installing? Thanks for any and all feedback!
