  1. i don't know, a quick google shows that you can switch HBA mode in card BIOS, but i don't know if and how it works then.. Yes, i have some IBM 1015 - it needs cross-flashed to IT mode. but be careful with cards from china, it's a big chance you will get fake card..
  2. there will be no problems with CPUs - unraid works with most hardware that can run Linux.. but i'm not sure about LSI controller - LSI 3108 is RAID controller - these are not recommended for unraid. you can choose https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/motherboard/X10DRH-CLN4 it have LSI 3008 - a plain HBA, works with unraid out of the box.
  3. it's the same for me too! i have Guacamole setup just running, but lastly i'm moving slowly to meshcentral2 https://www.meshcommander.com/meshcentral2. to me it adds a value to connect to another desktop like in teamviever to support another person. RDP still works, VNC too. according RDP, if you need it through browser, then Guacamole is still the champ in UX - works very well like native Windows RDP. i'm running this Meshcentral in docker too, so, if anyone have an interest, just ask.
  4. i think you should check with VMWare compatibility matrix first..
  5. if you need some subtitles to burn in, this is not direct-stream anymore. your CPU is doing this job..
  6. Try VMWare or Proxmox, a have experience with both, works as expected.
  7. i have a freeRadius on top of pfSense running as VM...
  8. try contact Supermicro tech support, they are very responsive in my experience.

    Jitsi?

    i have jitsi running on VM, so i don't know where the config file resides on this container. Usually all config files are on appdata config folder that is mapped to particular container. on my system there is a file logging.properties near videobridge config file, and you set .level variable to WARNING for example to log only warning level and above. according RAM usage - i don't notice any huge increase over time in my VM.

    Jitsi?

    look at your LOG file sizes inside a container. by default, it logs all info messages. you should change log levels for each of container.

    Jitsi?

    i have some success with Jitsi-meet install on VM, or more precisely on Ubuntu LXC container under Proxmox. the biggest problem was to get it working with Apache reverse proxy. and i don't have video recording know, cos it looks like it must be installed on Linux with X server?
  12. if you run unraid as VM, then you have no direct access to motherboard sensors. use IPMI plugin to get all sensors through IPMI.
  13. yes, it should work best, if your unraid drives are on separate controller. if you use motherboard ports, then there will be a problem to identify drives in proxmox VM.
  14. you can do this on same hardware - if you decide to go bare-metal, just reboot your host, assign unraid USB flash drive as boot device and it should just work. and for backups - proxmox backup system will help a very little to unraid - you simply backup proxmox VM config, so you should set unraid usb flash backup and also setup another system for unraid data backup - full or partial, it depends.
  15. see here: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/82260-virtualizing-unraid-on-proxmox-604/ the biggest problem would be boot from USB - i'm still using plopKexec method and it works just fine. but for proxmox host: this looks very promising and detailed: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/proxmox-beginner-tutorial-how-to-set-up-your-first-virtual-machine-on-a-secondary-hard-disk.59559/
  16. in my case i don't see any performance decrease - i'm running unraid as pure nas + some dockers, including Nextcloud, Plex, duplicati.. i have no experience with AMD at all, but should work just fine. for VMs i prefer SSD, and in my newest server PCIe NVME drives, and i don't use any RAID, insteed i do regular backups for my other than unrad VMs to unraid over NFS. No, i have 10Gbit nics and 1Gbit nics in my servers and i'm using them in Active-backup bond mode on host side. all my VMs have virtual nics only and thats working just fine. if you go Proxmox or ESXi, you can assign more cores to VMs than you have total Cores available on server. just watch for usage - i think, your will never run at full speed all of your VMs at once. i have a 8 Core CPU with HT enabled, so host OS sees them as 16 CPUs. you don't need a GPU at all to run Plex, just avoid any transcoding. i'm running Plex as Docker on unraid VM and it runs just fine - i assigned max 6 of 8 CPU to Plex docker to not overload unraid VM itself, if in same case plex would start some transcoding. but i don't have any 4K content, 1080p/720p only, so i can do some transcodes to lower settings in CPU without problem.
  17. i'm long time unraid user, and started using unraid when there was no option to run VMs on unraid itself. and for me, running simple unraid on one hardware looks like wasting hardware resource(see my sig for hardware details). so i started with ESXi, and my server was running for years on that configuration without any problems. if i would start know, i will consider an option to run unraid bare-metal and run another VMs on it. but for me ESXi looks more stable system over this years - you setup it and forget about it - it's very stable and can run for months without single restart. apart for unraid on bare-metal - if you need to change unraid version for example, then you restart you unraid and all VMs on it. i moved to Proxmox cos i wanted to try cluster with two servers - ESXi clustering are only on paid version only. if you have further questions, feel free to ask.
  18. i'm migrated from ESXi to Proxmox about a month ago. Regarding unraid, all working as expected as it was on ESXi too. if you don't know, why you recommend then? what do you mean with "the right kind of drive access to safely "do it's thing""? looks like some bullshit..., sorry. Yes, unraid is no supported to run under VM, nor ESXi nor Proxmox. but many of us are running it on VMs just fine.
  19. unraid is not about a speed. what speed are you currently running and what you are expecting?
  20. @joyson that's really strange.. one more thing to try - use plopKExec.iso instead of ploKExec64.iso.. if that don't help, try to use new ESXi7 builtin USB startup..
  21. just download plopkExec.iso, attach it to VM as CD-ROM. Start your VM, it should boot from plopKExec. if there is unraid USB connected, then plopKExec will automatically choose it and continue to boot. so, are you attached your unraid USB to VM?
  22. see page 1-10 on manual - it clearly indicates which CPU has access to which PCIe slots..
  23. sorry, don't know, i'm not using any VMs on unraid itself - all VMs are on ESXi side.. if you plan use your RAID5 for ESXi datastores and then pass HBA to unraid VM - it should work just fine. i run similar configuration in past - i made RAID1 volume on motherboard RAID controller, and them RDM that volume to unraid and use it as cache drive. it should run near bare-metal if you have sufficient hardware. see my sig for example(to view signatures, you have to enable that in your forum profile)
  24. Yes, i'm using it for years for now, i have two unraid VMs in one ESXi (free) server. and yes, this config is not supported. not sure, why it is needed. cos you boot unraid from USB and it runs completely in RAM. for storage you pass entire controller to unraid VM usually, but you can pass single drive too using RDM (raw device mapping). Virtual drives are supported too, i used one for docker image, but it's not a usual way. VMWare is so stable so changes are really small if any in these 5 years.. BTW, i'm in process on moving my server to Proxmox - time will tell if i stay with that or no - first week up and running, but setup Proxmox is much harder than ESXi - so much more manual tuning available on Proxmox side, but then it's more flexible cos it's just pure Debian Linux.
