Hi, sorry for the late reply. I've moved away from using Unraid, but ich777 and I have connected and he's currently providing this driver as an actual plugin for Unraid so it should be available going forwards for the various versions of Unraid. Thanks, Harry

@hotio or @binhex any chance one of you guys would create one of your great Docker containers for Transmission? Looks like there's no solution out there for Transmission with VPN (preferably WireGuard). Thanks for considering this. Harry

Can anyone recommend a good Transmission with WireGuard VPN Docker container? I don't believe binhex or hotio make one unfortunately. Thanks, Harry

@binhex Since rTorrent by itself doesn't have a web GUI, would you consider making a Docker container with rTorrent and use Flood (https://flood.js.org) as the GUI (instead of ruTorrent that is used currently). Flood looks like a very nice looking modern GUI with a responsive interface that's great for all devices including mobile. Thanks, Harry

The shutdown/reboot page doesn't match the rest of the Unraid user interface theme. I find it such a stark contrast to the rest of the interface that it actually bugs me. It would look so much nicer if it included the header and the page background color matched the theme's background color. Thanks, Harry

Has anyone attempted to have the Shutdown/Reboot page match the theme of the rest of the Unraid user interface? I find it such a stark contrast to the rest of the interface that it actually bugs me :). It would look so much nicer if it included the header and the page background color matched the theme's background color. Thanks, Harry

Does anyone know the GitHub repo for this plugin? I'd like to look though the source code. Thanks, Harry

I really like the concept of an OS running fully from RAM in a business situation (like what Unraid does) because that keeps the configuration settings very well defined and easy to troubleshoot and revert if/when issues arise. Also generally the OS is kept very minimal and simple (to minimize RAM usage) minimizing the exposure to possible issues or mistakes as compared to a regular full OS installed onto a hard drive. Unfortunately, I'm only aware of three such OS solutions in the storage space, Unraid, XigmaNAS, and sort of Vmware ESXI. ESXI has very limited hardware support and even though we will be using business level hardware along with enterprise level drives it doesn't seem to have all the needed drivers for our setup (and developing new drivers seems to be next to impossible since it's a custom kernel with no public information available). XigmaNAS is also fairly limited with drivers since it runs on FreeBSD. That leaves Unraid which has good driver availability since it's based on Linux. However, I'm wondering if Unraid can be considered a business quality solution. It feels like we're mixing business hardware, enterprise drives, with a home use OS. However, maybe that's just a misconception. Is anyone using Unraid in a business situation? How stable has it been? Edit: a few more details. This would be for a small business. Lack of vendor support is not considered a problem cause it's usually either too slow or too expensive in my experience for a small business. I think the main concern is stability. Having the server crash and corrupt data in the process would be the biggest thing we need to avoid. Thanks, Harry

Any recent reports of which card readers work and don't work? Unfortunately most if not all of the ones mentioned here that would work are impossible to get now since they have been discontinued. Thanks, Harry

Is anyone using a Corsair MP510 NVME drive for their cache that is BTRFS formatted? I've read some old posts about this causing issues (only when BTRFS formatted though) but there doesn't seem to be anything recent with the latest version of Unraid. If you are using this drive as your cache and are using BTRFS please let us know if you have any issues reported in your logs. Thanks, Harry

Interesting. Any idea how Unraid reads the temperatures (via smartctl, hddtemp, sysfs attribute, etc)? Cause everything I've read so far about reading drive temperatures in general states that reading the temperature is considered drive activity and will prevent the drives from falling asleep if the temperatures are read often enough (for example if they are read every 5 minutes and the drives are configured to sleep after 10 minutes of inactivity they will never fall asleep cause the drive will think there is activity ever 5 minutes). Thanked, Harry

Does Unraid without any plugins show hard drive temperatures? If not, which plugin is usually used? Lastly does reading/showing hard drive temperatures prevent the drives from sleeping? Thanks, Harry

Bad choice of words on my part ... I mean the kernel supports it because there's a module loaded into the kernel either manually or via the ZFS plugin. End result is the same though.

My ideal setup would be using ZFS (for it's checksumming ability, snapshots, etc. and most importantly greater maturity than BTRFS) as individual disks (ie: pools of one disk each) all part of the Unraid array so that they are protected against disk failure. Which is why I'm trying to understand the technical side of things as to why they can't be part of the array. Obviously this isn't supported via the GUI, but as far as I understand it the parity created on the party drive(s) is file system agnostic. Now if the GUI is designed to complain if it doesn't recognize the file system of a disk (even though the kernel supports it) then I could understand that being an annoyance or even a deal breaker depending on what the GUI prevents from working under such a situation.
