I got it going and I will write notes here For anyone who finds this thread. Please take everything I say with a massive grain of salt as I actually dont know how I got it to work and don't really understand the complex notions.
 
- install and set up your unraid.
- put your iso of ubuntu in the iso share
- configure the iso share to be private, and give yourself read write access
- Go to VM and choose ubuntu, set it up with some cpu's, ram, point to the ISO, set network to br0, virtio-net
- I dont know if this helped but go to management access and enable SSH (this could be unrelated)
- install ubuntu, make sure it has a static IP when you set it up, I used this video to help

- use chat gpt to help mimic each step of the process when you get stuck
- configure ubuntu to have all the needed networking capabilities and settings such that other computers on the network can access it.
It should work.

PLease also note that CGwire is making a docker version which will be production ready at some stage. So I think, soon enough, there will be an app in the community app store, which would make it 1000% more easy to get running with the kitsu server.

Sorry I missed this. I ended up using Dynamix file manager to move the files manually and then added the SSDs to a single pool. So far it seems to be working.

I have noticed when mover logging is enabled, I run out of log ram space.

Is it best to use move logging for debugging? or is it to be left on?

Thanks

[update]
- I removed the USB drive from the NAS.
- I checked to see that the USB drive was functional by plugging it into my mac
- I made a copy of the config folder as a backup
- I plugged the usb drive back into the USB 2.0 port on the NAS
- I shutdown the server from the web ui
- I powered up the server using the power button on the PC
- The PC boot but then went to a black screen
- I reset the computer and it booted up into unraid
- I saw some text fly past and saw some words like "cleaning dirty part", or something like that
- I opened a web browser on my mac and logged into the server
- I got a shock because nothing was there, but it turns out there was some error like "not connected to API", I clicked something and everything, like the drives and stuff came back as normal.

I followed the help documentation to fix it and also FYI, the data is still there on the drives.

- How can I create a backup of the config file every week or so?
