  1. After finally getting stressed enough about loosing my data, I've decided to build a mini unraid server.

    I've got a little Lenovo ThinkCentre (i5 4590T, 12Gb Ram) and I was thinking of popping a couple of USB3 External Drives onto it, combine them into a pool, then use lucky backup to keep my main servers data backed up.

    In total I currently have about 20Tb to backup, so was thinking of buying 2x 12Tb hard drives and some enclosures, and using them.

    I plan to run Luckybackup once a week and hopefully even setup to have the backup server be off most of the time and only turn on for backups and then shut down when complete.

     

    I have two main questions:

    1. Does this seem like a reasonable approach for a novice? (In particular reffering to using the Drives externally via USB3)

    2. Due to the drives only firing up once a week and the backups being incremental, do I specifically need NAS drives or can i get away with regular drives and save a few bucks?

     

    thanks for any help!

    Change /Media to /data in the first one, or /data to /Media in the second, doesn't matter a whole lot which one you change, but the whole line must match for all containers that share the download location.

    Sorry I'm such a novice at this. I feel like this must be so obvious. But the /media and /data lines are present in the configurations of the docker? How do I change that? 

  3. I'm sure I'm just doing something stupid here, but could really use some help.

     

    Maybe i'm just not understanding the FAQ that ive seen posted, but I think (maybe wrongly) that I've got my folder mapping setup correctly. But still get the error:

    "No files found are eligible for import in data/complete/example.mkv"

     

    My mappings are:

    Sonarr: 

    /Media -> /mnt/user/Media/

    /config -> /mnt/user/appdata/sonarr

     

    SABnzbd:

    /data -> /mnt/user/Media

    /config -> /mnt/user/appdata/binhex-sabnzbd

     

     

    Internally ive got:

    Sonarr, under Media Management - root folder path: /Media/media/TV Shows

    Sab, under Folders - Temp folder: /data/Incomplete and completed folder: /data/Complete

     

     

    can someone point out where i've gone wrong? All the guides talk about mapping Downloads? but i dont have that option?

    any help would be great! thanks.

  4. Hi all, 

    Firstly I've got a half decent amount of tech knowledge but this side of things (VMs and Linux based stuff). Is completely new to me. 

    What I'm trying to find out is if what I want to achieve is possible? 

    Current PC:

    I9 10900k watercooled

    32gb ram

    RTX 3080 

    ROG strix B460 MB

     

    Currently I have 3 screens running off this.. 

    - Samsung Odyssey 32" g7 at 1440p 240hz (next to pc) 

    - Samsung crappy 32" at 1080p at 60hz (next to pc) 

    - Samsung TV 72" at 4k 60hz (upstairs in loungeroom via 10m Hdmi) 

     

    Currently I run this In triple screen mode and disable unused screens.. This is hugely inconvenient. 

     

    Can I use unraid to create 2x VMs. Have one run on the TV and the other on the 2x monitors. But both user the GPU? I game on the TV when I'm upstairs, and I game on the monitors when I want a nice quiet session? 

     

    What is possible here? 

     

    Thanks. 

     

    I'm sure this will end up work more questions, but it's a start.
