Thank you so much for this and I am sorry I missed it. Can I check where is the readme file?

Hi, I am trying to set up a whitelist at https://github.com/anudeepND/whitelist/blob/master/README.md but cant seem to get it to work without Python 3. The instructions for a docker install / install without Python doesnt seem to work either. Can anyone help. Thanks in advance.

A bit of context. I live in Singapore so its almost always 30 degrees Celsius So during the day (when I am working from home), I will run then at 1000 RPM but the air conditioning set at 24 degrees. 1000 RPM keeps the CPU and PCH at around 50 to 55 degrees. Drives will be sitting between 30 to 35 degrees. At night, when the air conditioning is off, I just turn them back up to 3000 RPM and it will keep the server at around the same temp.

Thanks! I get them down to about 1000 and its typically fine unless I have a very heavy workload.

I think I fundamentally dont understand turbo write so will read into it! Is there a FAQ of sorts on it? Thanks yes this is the 2U case. But generally on fans, you can use IPMITools to adjust them by passing raw commands. So the default IPMI "optimised" mode is still loud but if you run the following at start up, it will get it down to a normal level. The first one is to turn the IPMI setting to "full". This is the only setting where the Supermicro IPMI doesnt actually adjust fans i.e. on any other mode, if you pass raw commands, it will ignore them after 30 seconds and do their thing. The second two are to change the fans to a value out of 64 with 64 being full. Mine is set at 16 in the command below. ipmitool raw 0x30 0x45 0x01 0x01 ipmitool raw 0x30 0x70 0x66 0x01 0x00 0x16 ipmitool raw 0x30 0x70 0x66 0x01 0x01 0x16 There are def cheaper 3u units out there. I paid through the roof for mine because I wanted 2 GPU cards (one for the W10 VM and the other for Plex transcoding in the docker.

I have an older Supermicro server with 12 x 3.5" bays and an LSI card with 4i and 4e so planning to increase array size by adding more drives. Yep understand. I am doing a remote back up of documents and photos. TV shows, movies etc aren't backed up as I can always find them again. Thanks. But I am still not sure why a drive needs to be spun down at all for it to work? Maybe I just am not understanding it conceptually. And what is the recommended % of drives as spun down?

Hi, I am quite new at this. Can someone help me understand why the number of drive spinning down matters? I have 4 drives, 2 are parity and 2 are data. How many spun down drives should I select?

Hi, I would like to uninstall it but when I do, the main area sections are still dark. Can anyone assist with a full uninstall and reversion back to the original unraid theme? Thank you

Hi, I am considering in getting a server and running Unraid on it. Want something which is 4-6 bays and will buy the number of hard drives which will give me 30 TB ish of usable space. Used mostly as a Plex server (minimal transcoding as I typically stream in my home LAN but may need 1 stream max if I am not at home) with likely 1 Windows VM and 1 Linux VM (mostly homelabbing, perhaps light Excel/Powerpoint work if needed but I'll probably have another machine for anything intensive). Budget excluding disks at around US$ 1,000 (or less if I dont need to spend that much for my use case) I am in Singapore so I wanted to check if anyone knows any custom server builders who are in SG or would be happy to ship to SG at a reasonable price. I have looked online and I just cant seem to find any. Alternatively, would anyone be able to recommend hardware from HPE, Lenovo, Dell etc? I have looked at there websites but do not really see anything that makes sense in my mind though I may be wrong. But all the large server hardware vendors are in Singapore so should be easy enough to purchase from them provided I know the right server. A final alternative may be to use actual NAS hardware. I saw on the forums that someone use an Asustor NAS. These are harder to get in Singapore but not impossible. QNAP and Synology are everywhere in Singapore. Does anyone know any prebuild NAS hardware from the vendors noted above which they have had experience with? Thanks in advance for everyone's help.
