Hi guys, here we go...finally I got it, but still some issues with a docker: Krusader. Perhaps you can help me to find solution. tried to install your Krusader, and following SpaceInvader indication, but the settings pages are different and perhaps I've made some mistakes. However the docker was installed, but in the GUI I don't see the same details Space was shown and if I go into some folder ( for instance FLASH ) it doesn't show anything. Any suggestions on how to fix all these issues ? - are the settings corrects ? - the version showed in the Spaceinvaders is different, especially regarding the KEYS that in the video are not mentionign and not with such a numeber of them, however I left them untouched - in the setting the line "the Webpage title " : is as default named TOWER. Is the name of the server ? I left it, but to be clear, my server has a different name, should I change it ? - Why I can't see UNRAID FOLDER ? The main issue it that I would move file onto some share folders, but since I don't see them, I can't. Any suggestion on it ? I saw anoher video from a french user and i realize that perhaps ina new version...UNRAID FOLDER became the " media " folder, but, even in this case..if I open the media folder I don't see anything inside Any suggets ? THX for your kind support Attacched some screenshots

Depends on whether they are running at the same time. Each running VM will require its own passed through card as while it is running it has exclusive control of any passed through hardware.. If graphics performance is not that important to a particular VM you could get away with using an emulated GPU rather than using a real one. - Hi, THX. Ok...I got it. Then, since one of the VM is a win 10 for " nornal " usage ( mails, office, web browsing ) I could use an emulate GPU. For doing that do I need to set VNC in the requested box for video, to emulate a VGA, right ? But considering that my CPU has a IGPU integrated, it will be visible in the list of video card ? In case yes, I could use this one, right ? The ISO is typically only required to install Windows (or drivers). No reason not to use the same ISO file in multiple VMs if they are the same version of Windows/Drivers. Since an ISO is lust an image of a DVD the ISO only needs to be a different one if you would need a different DVD on a physical machine. - Ah, ok..then one iso image will be ok. But supposing that one iso is a WIN 10 first installation and the second iso is a copy of my actual PC ( with all softwares installed and so on ), in this case, can I use these two images to create two different VMs at different stage of state ? This can help me to save time to install all the software from the scratch and keeping a " virgin" WIN 10 installation for different purposes, correct ? THX

Hi, here we go again, questions are coming out, meanwhile I'm thinking to the project. - In case of mutiple VMs of Win 10, ( maybe running contemporary, maybe only one for time ) is it requested to have a ISO image for every single Win 10 session ? - supposing the needs to have Win 10 configured in different way ( different settings, but especially different software installed ), what about the ISO image ? different ? - Which is the best location to keep the ISO file : into the Array disks or directly in the same disk ( NVMe ) where I'l be running the VMs ? - Every single VM Win 10 needs to passthrough a different video card or can use the same ? PS : I don't care so much about gaming, but I care about video editing or photoshop, then probably I should need a powerful videocard ? The doubt is if is enough one video card to manage all the Win 10 VM or is better to think to two video cards : one powerful for video editing and one more basic ( perhaps the processor's GPU ) for WIN 10 as office activities. THX

Hi Trurl, ok, I think I understood. I'm still waiting some spare parts in order to assemble the server. As soon As I'll do it, I'll try to follow your indications. Hopefully I'll com back with the god news of a brand new server.... 🙂 THx a lot for your kind support.. really appreciate.

ahh...great ! ok... do you know if in the community chat thee's a good guide for creating different pools. Let me try to see, if I understood correctly : one parity drive, some hdd as store and ssd for cache....all together is a pool, correct ?

Hi, well, I'm actually following a lot of tutorial, especially made by Spece Invaders on Unraid, He did a very good job and I'm learing a lot. But is more focused on software stuff and don't mention too much to the basic, that obviously he assumes to be clear. And...is not... 🙂 At least for me. The idea is now focused to create an array with the disks I mentioned you earlier, but I'm very intersting not only on PLEX, but also on VMs..at the moment...that should be Win 10. So, here is coming the first doubts, because I saw that there are different approaches: - keeping the VM directly on the cache - keeping the VM on another disk among the unassigned disk' s list That's the first point... I have three disks to manage for cache and/or VM management : 2 SSD 120Gb each and a NVMe disk 1TB. The original project was to assign the 2 SSD as cache and keep the NVMe in the unassigned gruop and use it for VM/VMs Then now, I'm a little bit confused and uncertain if keep this configuration or use the NVMe for cache and perhaps also for VM ( considering that probably I could run 1 or, maximun 2, VM Win 10, and use the two SSD for other purposed. In the Spece Invaders tutorials, he showed up how to configure a " Basic " Win 10 WM ( no passthroug ) and one, more advanced, with hardware, especially Videocard. Since I have a video card, and the performing seem to be much better passing through a physical video card, I was thinking to move toward this direction. Also considering that Space Invaders was mentioning to keep in the same place also a bare metal version on Win 10. This could be really useful, because, in one case, I could have : Server, VM, PLEX and a baremetal version of win 10. That's why I was asking : if I proceed toward this direction, the server, I guessed, should have been connected directly to the monitors in order to have this result. Am I correct ? Your comments and suggestions are more than welcome. 🙂 THx

Hi trurl, Sorry to bother you with so basic questions. Iif I'll install my Vms Win 10 mahine and I want to passthroug a physical Video card and or any other hardaware ( mouse, keyboad, sound card ann so on... ), I was asking myself... the server machine does need to be directly connected with HDMII to the monitor / tv ? As well for mouse and keyboard ? thx

ahahah...yes..yes..I like Newbie as a nickname. But I'm a foolish.. I didn't realize that I should use TRURL ..and not constructor.... ohh..my God..I'm really living on the clouds... 😀 pls forgive my ignorance. 😨 ok..but perhaps I express myself wrongly.. I understood and knew that UNRAID didn't like to put USB disks in array or pools....that's clear to me, but here my mistake, I thought you couldn't either connect any external drives to USB as you do in a normal computer. So..according to your words..I realize that connecting any external hdd is allowed and then, you could copy the data from unraid to these external hard drives. Is that correct ? Because if it is, I'm ok..: I have two external hdd of 4TB each that I could connect to server and backup data on those. That should be great for me. Is this what you meant, right ? What about the question on CPU / GPU ? Can I stay with I3 ? Or should I buy a CPU with graphic + a graphic card ?

Hi Constructor, ok, great ! Now i feel more comfortable with my startup, but still a copule of questions: - As I understood it could be useful with Plex or Vm, adding a GPU to the system , ok..Got it. At this point, if I add a graphic card, is still necessary having a Gpu even included in the processor ? Two gpu ? Or I can put a good graphic card and keeping my i3 with no iGPU ? - I read many comments on the fact that Unraid does't " like " external hdds connected. is still true ? If that, what is the best suggestions for the backup ? Moving the data through the home network and copying on a HDD ? I saw that there are some plugins in the community that are made for the backup purpose, can I think to use one of those plugins ? Suggestion ? thx a lot for all your comments that helps me a lot making more creal my next Unraid server.

Hi Constructor, first of all, thank for your prompt answers. Ok, than..this is what I understood: ( sorry, but my kowledge is barely enough, but not so good ) - backup of data... I guess is better think to an external disk, right ? Or can I add a disk not in the array and keep it as a backup for the data ? My question/ concern: if I'll be able to keep all within...one case... not adding other disks ( if possible ) - better two disks for parity.. I will take a note. I guess I can also add the second disk..in a second step. Right ? - Not so many users, just my family, and they won't use massively the resource, therefore, as first step, I think I will stay with these two SSD disks, and I will replace them as soon as I will understand how massive is the usage - about CPU, if I understood, better ones with an own GPU. Ok, Got it... i will replace the i3 with ones with GPU and I will add a GPU on the mother board. However intel i3 is enough as power...or i5 is better ? I7 is still to expensive for my budget. I have to stay with Intel due to my MB. - Last ,but not the least...what about the NVE memory...? Should I keep it for running the VMs ? THX a lot

hi all, I'm brand new in this world and I would like to start my journey in Unraid's world. I'm planning to build up a new server and I would like the advanced users'opinion on some doubts. First the needs I have got : - A media Server as Plex - A Vm machine ( Windows 10 ) - A own Clound able to reach from anywhere. I'm already watched many tutorials and I start to have some ideas, but always better to share doubts and question with the community in order to avoid mistakes. To make my needs available I was thinking to assemble this server : - MB : Asrock B365M Pro4 - CPU : Intel Core i3-9100F - RAM : HyperX Fury HX426C16FB3A/16 Memoria DIMM DDR4, 16 GB, 2666 MHz, CL16 RGB ( x2 Tot 32GB ) - Parity Disk : Seagate IronWolf - SATA da 6 Gbit/s, CMR 3.5" 7.200 giri/min, Cache da 256 MB for NAS, 4TB - Array : 3/4 HDD 3,5" ( different size from 2TB to 3TB ) - Cache drives : Kingston A400 SSD SA400S37/120G ( x 2 ) - Sabrent SSD dissk 1TB Rocket NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 Here my doubts/questions according to what I know / understood : - Do you think is a must double the parity disk ? I mean two disks instead of one ? - Is the cache size enough or is too small ? Can I add more than two disks in the cache ( In case I should need ? ) - I would keep apart the NVE ssd disk only for VM machine/s ( Or should I add to the cache ) ? - Do I need a GPU ( I guess only if I create a VM Win 10 macine ) ? Or is better to have it in any case ? Do I need a GPU for PLEX server ? - Still for VM : the CPU is ok, or should I escalate to i5 ? my i3 has got 4 cores / 4 threads. - Do I really need a 10 Giga connections ? All my house is connected with CAt 5 Lan cables. I would rather not upset my home to replace the cables, if possible. Perhaps I could think to a Smart switch to improve / master the priorities connections ? Hoping I didn't bomb you of bother too much with all my questions, I will really appreciate if you guys could help me with your comments / suggestions in order to avoid mistakes done by a beginner as I am. Thank a lot for your support Take care
