Thanks. I don't stream Plex via Cloudflare, only other docker apps. Will investigate the benefits of Tailscale.

I haven't yet upgraded to Unraid 7 and have Cloudflare in docker with tunnels to each of my docker apps for remote access. This works well with Google authentication also on top. My question is, aside from the nervousness about upgrading to 7.0 stable, what benefit would Tailscale give over my existing methods of remote access to Unraid itself and the dockerised apps?

I have just decided to upgrade me unraid setup from i7490S with 16GB DDR3 to i512500t 32GB DDR5. My main use cases are few docker including Plex and Frigate for security cameras and a VM for Home Assistant. Over the last few years I've started to feel like the system is sluggish. Also got a new Silverstone CS382 hot swap case with 8 bays. Before I begin the build I have a couple of questions for those with more experience than me. 1) Am I likely to notice an uplift in performance with new CPU and more RAM? Started to wonder if Unraid is a bottleneck and TrueNAS would be more performant. For example Plex just feels sluggish in opening and loading library etc 2) I have a spare 8TB drive that I want to prepare to add to the array when on of the existing 7 x 8TB goes bad. Am I "wearing" this drive if I leave it powered up in a bay but unassigned? Or is it best to keep it in a drawer somewhere? 3) Have just bought a couple of NVMEs. I'm thinking of using existing SSD (2.5") for downloads only (for mover to move to the array as they do today) and having VMs and Docker/Appdata each on their own NVME Really welcome any advice here before I jump into yen rebuild.
