Hi all! Potential new unraid user from southern Germany here. I am currently utilizing a supermicro/xeon-based truenas home server to serve my needs for SMB shares and Time Machine (MacOS) backups. Everything runs mostly fine here. However I plan to move my home automation stack (phoscon, raspberrymatic, iobroker and node red to the home server soon). To make life easier I recently switched from TrueNAS CORE (FreeBSD based) to TrueNAS Scale (Debian based) for native kubernetes/docker support. I already played around with it, but the current implementation of k3s on TrueNAS Scale is quite restricted. To break things down, I am not able to forward the necessary ports (used for mDNS) to instantiate a homekit (Apple home automation) gateway on TrueNAS Scale (mDNS is either used by the system to expose SMB shares on the network or for k3s - not both). Long story short: I am willing to do the switch to unraid. My ZFS pools could be natively imported (as unassigned devices) and I expect great support for docker and vms. The only thing that is holding me back are present complaints and threads about Time Machine support and functionality in unraid. Are those legit? Is robust Apple Time Machine support in unraid a difficult thing to achieve? For my other usecase (home automation stack) I have no doubts this could be done easily in unraid os. Cheers, Rafael
