Hi, @JorgeB, can you please help me with this?

I completed my WireGuard VPN setup using this tutorial: https://unraid.net/blog/wireguard-on-unraid. I selected the peer type of access as "Remote tunneled access". However, when the peer device is connected to the WireGuard VPN, it is unable to access the internet.

Hello, I am using the pihole-unbound Docker Container by @TeddyTux. FTLCONF_LOCAL_IPV4: ? (Container Variable: FTLCONF_LOCAL_IPV4 Set to your server's LAN IP, used by web block modes and lighttpd bind address.) Here, I should enter the new IP Address on which Pi-hole is going to run, or should I enter my server's IP (Unraid IP)?

Which file system should I use for Pool & Array?

Thanks 😊

How much time does it take to complete the Memtest86+ (v6.20) test? It has been running for 22 hours, and 17 passes have been completed so far. The system has 32GB (16GB x 2) DDR4 3200 MHz RAM.

Thanks again. 😊

1. Does that mean even if I use a SATA SSD along with NVMe SSD, my pool speed will be limited to the speed of the SATA SSD? 2. Also, what if I want to use an NVMe SSD as a cache drive: - To store Docker Containers/VMs - To store app data - As the primary storage drive And use a 2.5" HDD to store only my Jellyfin/Plex Media Server files (movies & series). How should it be configured then? Option 1: Two Pools - One pool with NVMe SSD - One pool with 2.5" HDD Option 2: One Pool & One Array - One pool with NVMe - One array with 2.5" HDD Or should I keep the 2.5" HDD as an unassigned drive?

Hey @JorgeB, currently, 2TB SATA SSDs are very expensive in my country. Therefore, I'm considering utilizing my existing WD 850X 2TB NVMe SSD along with a Seagate Barracuda 2.5 Inch HDD (ST2000LM015). My plan is to configure them in a pool with a Mirror setup. (I'll be using a Flash Drive as the Array.) It should work fine, right?

@JorgeB I am wandering on internet for more than a month searching how to setup my 1st homeserver. Watched hundreds of videos and read hundreds of posts. But not being familiar with linux I was totally lost & equally frustrated. I cannot thank you enough for taking time & patiently answering all my queries. You are a lifesaver. Thanks you very much. 😊

Can you recommend a comprehensive tutorial (text or video) on how to set up Unraid from scratch for a newbie like me? Covering things like docker configuration & external backup. Also, would you mind if I ping you for help if I face any difficulties during the Unraid setup process?

I mean, will it affect performance, such as transfer speed or CPU usage, since I'll be using only one drive instead of two? If I assign both SSDs to the same pool and use them in a mirror configuration, then set up an external drive via Docker for backup. I will have 2TB of usable space and two backups of my data: one on the mirror drive and one on the external drive, right?

1. If I assign both SSDs to the pool, my total usable storage with two 2TB SSDs will be 4TB, correct? 2. What if I initially use only one 2TB NVMe SSD for the pool (and purchase a 2TB SATA SSD later)? Will this affect anything? 3. Also, what if I assign 2TB NVMe SSD as pool for primary storage and caching, and the 2TB SATA SSD as the parity drive? Will this configuration work? 4. If not setting a parity drive, are there any external backup options that can be configured in Unraid? For example, an external drive connected to the mini PC via a Thunderbolt port, where data is automatically backed up weekly.

So the pendrive will be used for just a placeholder purpose? This means both SSDs will be used as cache drives as well as primary storage, right? (Is it safe and recommended?) This configuration wouldn't include a parity drive, right? Could I use an external hard drive or an external hard drive enclosure connected via a Thunderbolt port as a parity drive?

Hey, sorry for the inconvenience, but could you please explain this to me? When you mention an old flash drive as an array device, are you referring to a old pen drive? If I use both SSDs as pools, then those SSDs will be used as cache drives to store Docker Containers/VMs & app data, right? If so, what will serve as my primary storage drive?
