Hello there Unraid community,
A few years ago (4-5 years now)I bought a QNAP TS-469L and back then, I really did not regret it. But today, I really don't like the software anymore.
Sure: It has a clean Interface and is very easy to administrate, but for my taste now, it's too closed.
I already have an Unraid Server Running on my main Gaming Rig and I must say, I'm damn satisfied with how smooth it is running.So I thought: Why not also run Unraid on my QNAP NAS Box?
I tried booting unraid 6.2 on the Qnap with the USB drive from my gaming rig --> Worked
It detected all drives --> Nice
RAM utilisation was at 35% (3GB RAM Installed)--> Seems OK to run a few Dockers and use SMB shares
CPU Usage was at 5-25% Idle --> Should suffice
The NAS has an Intel Atom
[email protected] (which has a 64-bit instruction set I guess. The CPU is not listed in the Intel Ark DB)
The NAS has a 512MB DOM storage for the system.
Can I use the DOM to boot Unraid? Does a DOM have an UID I can register?
I have two reasons for wanting it to run from DOM:
1. I have one USB port more
2. I have the fear that, when the QNAP OS boots from DOM instead of Unraid (for whatever reason), It whipes my disk at initialisation.
Has anyone ever tried such a thing? Does anybody know if things will work with 3GB and said CPU?
