    Okay this is interesting. I just installed 6.6.6 and I'm seeing the same problem.

    Questions:

    1. Which version of ESXi do you run?

    2. What is the virtual hardware version of your Unraid VM?

    Thanks!

    do you have this advanced option in your VMX?

    disk.EnableUUID = "true"

     

    my ESXi is at version 6.5, virtual hardware version 9.

    Sadly that didn't work for me. Still have the warning.

    What NC version?

    when i updated my NC from v11 to v17, this warning disappears only on v17. 

    but i'm using my Apache web server as reverse proxy, and i had to add trusted_proxies and overwritecondaddr to my config.php.

    see here: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/17/admin_manual/configuration_server/reverse_proxy_configuration.html

    I would like to passthrough the SSD

    as for SSD, you should care about how it's being trimmed - connect it to Mobo Sata port(i read somewhere IBM1015 wont support trim on all SSDs), and use trim plugin to get SSD trimmed at least once a week.

    if you won't write to cache very intensive then your cache drive should last for years.

     

    i'm using Hardware RAID1(two 1TB HDD) as my cache for now, but i'm planning to switch to BTRFS RAID1 pool. but i'm not using my cache drive for docker - i'm mounting addition small ESXi virtual drive(SSD physically) for this.

    The problem with trying to extend coverage with a single super duper Wifi is that the radio communication is two way. Antenna gain at the AP end can only get you so much sensitivity, you also have to deal with the radio and antenna of the client. Sometimes it's just way more effective to add an AP to gain coverage.

     

    The beauty of the Unifi AP setup is that you get single point management for all your AP's that just works, as long as you stay on the LT branch of the controller software.

    by adding one more AP i mean connect it to a router/switch by CAT 5e/6 cable, so AP won't work as repeater on single radio.

    and BTW Mikrotik has also centralized management called CAPsMan - you simply choose which device would be central manager and connect all other AP to this.

    Using separate router/firewall and access points is the way to go. You get the ability to upgrade and scale the WIFI portion as needed without having to redo/replace the router. Getting a ubiquity or mikrotik router should serve you well, being able to handle Gigabit or even multi Gigabit ISP connections. Price wise, it's not even more expensive compared to the higher-end consumer wifi all in one routers. Using dedicated router and separate WIFI APs was the best upgrade I ever did for myself, my parents, and sister's family.

    i agree with you, but it all depends - i have a flat with three rooms and in this case all in one router like i mentioned before Mikrotik Hap AC2 works very well. But when you live in house with two floors then separate router like https://mikrotik.com/product/hex_s and several AP is a way to go. and you can always add one more AP, other than buy one super duper Wifi device..

    I have never used a Mikrotik or looked at RouterOS.  I know the company has a good reputation with networking people but I always thought they were more pro than pro-sumer in pricing.  After looking at their website when you posted, I was surprised that they have some pretty affordable options geared toward a home consumer.  In your opinion, what sets the hardware and software apart from what companies ASUS and Netgear are offering?  Are the RouterOS features the same on all the hardware variants or does it scale up/down with hardware complexity/price-point?

     

    I'd likely go with the router you recommended ... the features seems to be inline with what I want and the price is certainly right at <$75 USD!  I see they have an x86 image of RouterOS available.  I might try to spin it up in a VM and test out the interface.

    i have no experience with ASUS or NETGEAR equipment, and yes, RouterOS are all the same for all hardware - it just depends on hardware which processes you can offload on hardware, and which ones are done by CPU. RouterOS is very rich on features on routing switching side.

    if you would like to try ROS, yes they have and CHR images - see here: https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:CHR

    and it have 60 day trial version with unlimited speed interfaces. 

    according to configuration - ROS have builtin web interface, but more recommended is their Winbox tool - can run it on Linux too.  

    10 Questions: unRAID on ESXi

    in Virtualizing Unraid

    i think your command is ok, never used such RDM disks on windows.

    and yes, no smart info, no spindown, until you RDM a full drive.

    in one of my unraid servers, i simply create small datastore on ESXI side(physically on SSD), and attach this disk to unraid, and use it as unussigned disk for Docker image. but you can use that way for cache drive too..

    if an SSD have good built-in garbage collection, then i see no problems with such approach until you are using your server very heavy with lot on downloads on cache. in such case SSD will exhaust very fast..

    150Mbps WAN (Verizon Fios in my area).  1Gbps LAN.  10Gbps LAN can be on my next upgrade 🤤.

     

    I do VPNing in Unraid.  I used to do it on my router, but it would really tax the 600 MHz Broadcom chip in the N66U.  The Unraid Wireguard support is really good for incoming connections, and I have dockers for outgoing connections ... I don't see going back to using the router for VPN.

     

    -JesterEE

    then i would recommend a Mikrotik products, like https://mikrotik.com/product/hap_ac2, much cheaper than your budget.

    it can do about 1Gbit WAN, have at least 200Mbit Hardware accelerated Ipsec VPN, some wifi - for me i have a cable on all devices that required more than 50Mbit traffic, so not a big deal.. and if you are familiar with Mikrotik ROS, you have so many configuration options..

    That’s interesting. Currently it wouldn’t work. You would need to expose the guacd port as it’s currently just an internal service.

    if you have an interest, i got it working. some manual work needed, but it just works then.. yes, it looks interesting, but lacks of 2FA authentication, if you wanna make it accessible public. just let me know, i can publish docker settings.
