This is available as a plugin. Not sure I see any benefit for this to be a docker container. No, this belongs in the unRAID host so it can shut down everything. Limetech has indicated that apcupsd and email notifications would eventually be part of the core product. that's where it should be and i hope it becomes reality with the next beta/ final v6. nough said - the plugin works, a docker for it seems even to me as docker-newbie overkill.

i wouldn't argue that. just had never a chance to 'play' with one of them yet. also the the rpc-4224 looks liek a worthy contender, i just cant see the 4 additional bays really being worth a $100 more. one question about the rpc-4220 i have btw - does it support sata III? supposedly the 4020 does not, i never tried it. they would kill me at my jobsite if i start to experiment with the servers there LOL.

while not a tower case, but a 4U server rackmount i would suggest looking at the Norco RPC-4020, a pretty awesome case offering nearly ideal specs to max unraid out (that's in number of hdd's). i never tried it (we have them mounted in server cabinets where i work), but i am sure you can also just place them in a tower-like fashion. now before you start yelling about the roughly $300 pricetag, consider the fact that you get 20 sata/ sas hot-swappable bays build in! plus another 2 3.5" fixed hdd cages (i would make that cache and parity). at about $90 for a 5in3 cage this baby paid alread for itself before you count in the case... a way to look at it. one thing that s*cks a bit are the 7 80mm fans - they are kind of loud. if your "tower" is located in the basement/ another room no problem (they are actually not as bad as many other server case fans), if not - you want to replace them with sth more quiet. otherwise, solid design (very solid, weighs in just under 50lbs empty LOL), lots of space and config options. a true contender to all the tower options. just do the math! between $50-100 for the tower case, another $90+ per 5in3 cage....
