Within you NIXDESK I would passthrough the 1TB M2 directly to a Win 10 VM. So you are able to use your Win 10 Installation within a VM or if you want to boot directly from it, you can just boot directly from it 🙂
Ah that's awesome, I didn't know that - thanks!

Hey folks!
I'm somewhat new to Unraid, and would like to share my setup to get any advice or feedback from those wiser than I
I've got 2x Unraid machines, brief details below:
NIXSERVER
Hardware:
- Intel® Core™ i3-8100
- AMD RX 570 8GB
- 16 GB DDR4
- 2x 2TB Seagate Barracuda & 2TB Parity
- 240GB Sandisk SSD Cache Drive
Purpose:
Runs apps, i.e. my Plex server, Nginx proxy, several databases, Git repo, Docker container reg, Grafana, various data ingesters, other homemade apps (typically websites), & PhoenixAMD miner (crypto mining). Also houses shares for any media.
NIXDESK
Hardware:
- Intel® Core™ i5-8400
- AMD RX 580 8GB
- 16 GB DDR4
- 1x 2TB Seagate Barracuda
Purpose:
Runs my virtual desktop; I switch between a Ubuntu VM for development, Windows 10 for work whilst I have another PhoenixAMD miner running. Then if i want to do some gaming, I turn the miner off and start a VM with passthrough (at least that's the intention, setup still TODO...). Have shares to share common folders (e.g. My Documents type stuff). Gives me freedom to try out various OS's, because i'm always tinkering.
I use a Raspberry Pi 4 (8GB) on Arch (arm64) as my main desktop, and spin-up then VNC/RDP into whichever VM I need. I've got more drives in NIXDESK (another 1TB HDD and 1TB M2, but they're still packing my regular Windows 10 install in case I need to switch back).
So far I've found the performance pretty good, although always looking to reduce latency on the VM's. I've still to setup the gaming VM; does anyone have any guidance on how I can make the switch from running the miner and onboard to passthrough? Also, may need to move peripherals across from the Pi to NIXDESK, maybe a KVM?
Any other wise words are greatly appreciated! Anything useful I could add into the mix? What hardware should I look to upgrade first?
Thanks!

Do you plan to create Unraid templates to make these easy to install in the Unraid webUI?
Yeah
I've pinged Squid a message with the details!

Hey folks,
I'm a fairly new Unraid user and have been loving the platform so far! I'm also a bit of a nerd with some dev experience, so naturally stared tinkering with building a few containers. I like to do data analysis (read as: make pretty graphs), build/ingest API's (hoard data) and trade (set money alight).
Which brings me to the containers:
Alpaca to InfluxDB
What is Alpaca? Alpaca is an API first stock brokerage, providing real-time market data.
What is InfluxDB? InfluxDB is an open-source time series database.
Alpaca-to-InfluxDB is a fairly simple container to ingest live(ish) stock market data from the Alpaca websocket into an InfluxDB. Currently it pulls in 1m candles for whatever market tickers you define.
For further information on how to configure the container, please see the README on the DockerHub page (link below).
DockerHub: https://hub.docker.com/r/nixoninnes/alpaca-to-influxdb
Binance to InfluxDB
What is Binance? Binance is a large crypto currency exchange, providing real-time market data.
What is InfluxDB? InfluxDB is an open-source time series database.
Binance-to-InfluxDB is a fairly simple container to ingest live crypto market data from the Binance websocket into an InfluxDB. It allows configuration of which currency pairs and candle interval to ingest.
For further information on how to configure the container, please see the README on the DockerHub page (link below).
DockerHub: https://hub.docker.com/r/nixoninnes/binance-to-influxdb
Example of data in InfluxDB:
Both of these can be used for FREE (gotta love free data); however, you will need to create an Alpaca account to use the Alpaca API. More detail on both the containers can be found in the DockerHub pages, or in the GitHub repository (below) if you would like to look a little deeper.
GitHub: https://github.com/NixonInnes/unraid-builds
To get an InfluxDB instance setup, consider checking out atribe's great InfluxDB container here:
Please let me know if you have any feedback, these are newly developed and are still undergoing some work to improve them.

@NixonInnes Damn, it was worth a shot. That's a good card, I'm sure you could get way more out of it than what you're getting, but it might make your system unstable if you start pushing it with OC options. My RX 580 is running custom bios, but that's a risk to damaging your GPU.
I hope you're mining on both of them 😉
@lnxd yeah, after some google-fu people seem to be able to get a bit more juice. I'm gonna take a look into how I can tweak the card settings (without having Windows & the Radeon performance tuning window) - you got any steers?
I've done some mining on the RX 580, but since it's on my desktop which i'm using all day for work video calls and all night being a nerd it's a bit awkward. Might end up switching the cards around. I'll at least have a look into a way to setup something to throttle mining during the day on the desktop if I do start using it.

It's probably still on if you haven't turned it off or reset the card since. The -acm argument in additional should do it.
Ah, that was for a different card (RX 580 in my desktop).
The Unraid box has a MSI RADEON RX 570 ARMOR 8G OC. Don't think that option did much 😅

EDIT: @NixonInnes do you have compute mode enabled for your GPU? All the estimates for that card are for it to hit 29-31MH/s which probably are using custom mining bios and OC. But if you don't have compute mode turned on for a Polaris GPU you'll get a low hash rate. That's not measly by the way, if there wasn't a shortage I'd be buying up used RX 570s and RX 580s to mine with.
@lnxd ooh, no I don't think I do. I've done it on Windows boxes with the Radeon GUI, how do I do that for an Unraid box?

Hey man, thanks!
Got the miner & stats up and running pretty easily with my meagre RX 570 👍

The containers pull the open, close, high, low & volume data from their respective sources, for each of the configured stock or coin.
