nanoserver

I know how to write a Flask app and run it on a server, e.g., pythonanywhere. I would like to write Flask apps to run on my local network, running in a Docker on my Unraid server. Is there any good resources out there on how to do that?

Excellent, that worked, thanks a lot!

I'm sorry to sound like a complete dummy, but i'm completely unable to find out what I'm supposed to do after I update to 6.12.4 in that situation. So far, I have: - created a 3-way mirror on 6.9.2 from command-line using the plugin - exported the zpool - upgraded to 6.12.4 - my three drives show up unassigned and "passed through" - I stoped the array and clicked "add pool" with three slots At this point, my three slots are unassigned and I have the option of assigning them to the same three drives as before. Is this what I should do? Is there any chance at all that if I do that the data on the drives will be lost? If I do this, should I expect that unRAID will recognize the exported mirror zpool and import it correctly once I restart the array? Thanks for any pointers!

Starting from a Fractal Design Define R5 case, I'd like to know my options for building a low-power system almost exclusively used as a NAS, with the following guidelines: - total idle power draw of a few tens of watts or less - passive cooling would be awesome; is it possible at all? - using more-or-less regular components as opposed to, e.g., specialized industrial motherboards Should I be aiming for i3 CPUs? Older i3 CPUs versus newer i3 CPUs? What should I look for in a motherboard? Should I expect to tweak lots of BIOS and/or Unraid settings? Do modern PSU with different "color grades" (gold, etc.) really have different efficiencies when handling with low power draw? Should I look into external PSU options? Thanks for any pointers!

You're right of course, I had stupidly mixed up case dimensions with shipping package dimensions... I'll look into both options, thanks for your help.

Lolight, thanks for the feedback. So I looked up the Node 804, and it does seem quite a bit larger. I'm wondering if there is any obvious benefit for the 804 over the Fractal Design Define R5 (or R6), which has a slightly smaller overall volume in a narrower/higher aspect ratio. Since I'm sure I'll always prioritize silence and storage space/redundancy over computing power, I wonder if the R5/R6 isn't a slightly better choice. (also, is there any functional difference between R5 and R6). I'll look into the other components, thanks again.

Hi all, I've been a happy Unraid user for the past four years. My box is a ten-year-old Gen7 Proliant Microserver with six drives. I'm using this exclusively as a file storage/sync device so that ancient machine is sufficient for my modest needs. But nothing lasts forever, and I want to plan ahead for when the Microserver eventually kicks the bucket. I have never built a server and I am looking for suggestions of components (apart from the drives, which I will just reuse) that would fit the following profile: My top priorities are low power usage and low noise; My next priorities are number of drives (6, or 5 as a last resort) and small size; I'm planning to use it for many years so I'm ready to pay a decent price; My processing power needs are modest: I'm running a 3-way ZFS mirror, Syncthing in a docker, maybe also a Minecraft server (if I ever get it to work), a Gitlab instance, and BorgBackup server. So I'm happy with an "older" CPU as long if it's efficient (low-power), and I don't see how/when I would ever need a GPU (no video playback, no transcoding whatsoever). In terms of case my first impulse was a Fractal Design Node 304 (because small and potentially quiet) but I have no idea if there are obviously better options out there. FWIW instead of building somethign from scratch I've also considered buying a TerraMaster F5-422 and installing Unraid on it, but it has only five drive bays and I haven't found an easy way to add a sixth drive. So, keeping in mind that I know nothing at all about CPU/motherboard options, nor how to know which components are compatible with others, what would be the best way for me to move forward? Thanks in advance for those of you taking the time to help me out.
