If all you do is plex and backup storage, then do your wallet a favor and wait with the noctua and ram until you really need it. Also, maybe i misunderstood but are you planning for 8x 14TB drives? 122TB raw storage?

Did you search this forum for 'self hosted cloud', 'phone backup', or something similar? There are a few options but you wil never come close to what commercial players (microsoft, google, dropbox, etc...) are offering. If you want a complete self hosted cloud option then nextcloud is a good start. But i had a better experience with Seafile. Downside (for me) is, both are database-based and tbh., nextcloud needed mothly maintenance... Other options are resillio or syncthing which are file-based and just powerfull sync-software. A third option is to use a free dropbox (or other) account and have a user script move the files overnight to your local server. If you only want to backup your phone camera folder to your server over local wifi, you can also install some samba-app on your smartphone and use a user script to backup the files.

Another option is to shedule a 'power on' in the bios. Look for 'power on by RTC' in your bios settings.

Hi, i'm using the following (very basic) script to backup my seafile container: #!/bin/bash docker stop Seafile-Official sleep 10s docker exec mariadb -t mysqldump -h [seafile] -u[seafile] -p[seafile] --opt ccnet-db > /mnt/disks/backup_data/seafile/database/ccnet-db.sql.`date +"%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S"` docker exec mariadb -t mysqldump -h [seafile] -u[seafile] -p[seafile] --opt seafile-db > /mnt/disks/backup_data/seafile/database/seafile-db.sql.`date +"%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S"` docker exec mariadb -t mysqldump -h [seafile] -u[seafile] -p[seafile] --opt seahub-db > /mnt/disks/backup_data/seafile/database/seahub-db.sql.`date +"%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S"` rsync -avh /mnt/user/seafile/ /mnt/disks/backup_data/seafile/appdata/ sleep 5s docker start Seafile-Official Total size of the docker container is just over 500GB. The mysqldump locks the database and then just copies the 3 databases to a backup folder. It works but i don't know much about linux commands so i wonder if there is anything i should add/remove to finetune the script a bit? Thanks.

Other that your boot-settings, no. Maybe WOL if you need it. I usually don't mess with the bios settings unless 'something' is't working or some setting is needed for a specific purpose.

Do you have network wide 10gbit (with 10gbit switch) or are you trying to connect your server directly with your workstation/pc over 10gbit without a switch?

Elk zijnen dag. Ik ben momenteel (al 3 maanden) Seafile aan't testen als Nextcloud alternatief en ben aangenaam verrast. Het nadeel is dat het synchroniseren altijd over WAN gaat. Zelfs als ik thuis ben. Dropbox heeft bvb een LAN-syc functie. Situatie: Ik gebruik bvb https://wolk.domein.be via cloudflare om Seafile te bereiken achter een reverse proxy (Nginx Proxy Manager). Als router gebruik ik Opensense. Ik heb al wat topics gelezen op het opensense-forum maar ik weet niet echt waar ik naar welke termen ik moet zoeken dus dat maakt het wat moeilijk. Ik kom meestal uit op 'NAT Loopback' en 'Unbound DNS'. Van netwerking heb ik niet al teveel kaas gegeten. Graag feedback. Groeten, Arild.

'Patch My PC' lijkt wel te doen wat ik zoek. Normaal ben ik geen fan van dat soort 'driver/app update' programma's maar deze heeft een 'download only mode' en kan ingepland worden op een bepaald tijdstip. Een nadeel is dat het windows-only is.

Nextcloud is not 'something simple' imo, and i don't think the OP looking for a full self hosted cloud service that needs a seperate database. @xtrips Or are you?

There are numerous dockers in the community apps section that can do this. I myself use 'filebrowser'. But you need to put it (whatever docker u use) behind a reverse proxy. You don't just want to open ports to your server.

IMO, it's easier to just connect your workstation directly to you server. I have those asus 10gbit xg c100c cards in my two systems connected with a cat6a copper cable. Works as it should.

I don't know the answer to your question but running unraid on a tablet looks very cool The first thing i thought was 'can you passthrough that touchscreen to a vm'?

Hoi, dit gaat misschien niet echt over unraid maar ik ben opzoek naar een manier om de installatie-file van mijn apps die ik heb gedownload up to date te houden. Dus niet het programma zelf maar de install.exe file van die bepaalde app. In mijn downloads folder zitten bepaalde programma's die ik vaak gebruik (winscp, putty, vlc, etcher, rufus, enz...) maar telkens als ik deze opnieuw wil/moet installeren kan ik ze niet gebruiken want ze zijn verouderd en moet ik ze alsnog downloaden. Als gevolg zit mijn downloads folder vol met verouderde bestanden. Is er geen manier om deze up to date te houden in de downloads folder zelf? Ik ken ninite maar dat is niet helemaal wat ik zoek. Ik zoek dus een programma dat checkt of er een nieuwe versie beschikbaar is van een bepaalde app en deze dan download en het oude bestand overschrijft. Iemand een idee?

I'm not sure what you mean by 'wifi to ethernet'. What's your use case?

Ok, we are getting somewhere... I got a Radeon 6950 from a friend, installed it and it worked! I started from scratch with a new VM, installed windows, ran DDU (display driver uninstaller), turned off windows auto update, installed the latest drivers, rebooted and the VM worked. However, i'm getting a 'code 10' now on the audio-part of the gpu. It says 'insufficient system recources exist to complete the api'. Well, there is some progress...

Yeah, i'm sorry but i had to start a new topic because i'm lost. After reading almost all other topics (i think) regarding code 43, i cannot solve my problem. The goal is to run a Win11 VM with a gpu passed through. It's the same old song: VM works, RDP works, but no screen and code 43 error in device manager. What i tried: PCIe ACS override - every setting i440fx and Q35 (down to 5.0) SeaBIOS and OVMF ... in every option possible edited the <features> lines in vm xml added 'multifunction='on' in vm xml disabled C states in bios server running in legacy an uefi mode different cables and ports (hdmi, dvi, vga) The hardware: Asus Maximus VIII HERO, i7 6700K, 32Gb ram. I tried 4 different gpu's. Granted, they are a bit old but i got them working a year ago in a win10 vm on the same platform but different motherboard. I'm guessing (hoping) there is a bios setting that i have to change but Maximus Hero's bios is... overwhelming Vt-d / VT-x is enabled. How do i go from here? Any help is appreciated. powernas-diagnostics-20230721-2313.zip win11code43.txt

Maybe look into resilio for backup or syncthing for syncronisation. A docker container seems more resource-friendly than a vm. I tried the freefilesync docker but i was not conviced.

I'm not an expert in this but i suspect 'server grade' motherboards have better quality components (capacitors, vrm's, ...) that have higher standards that consumer hardware does not need/have. They usually also have a thicker pcb (more layers?).

Install 'tailscale' on both servers and learn how to schedule an rsync script with unraid 'user scripts'. Seriously, it's not that hard for a simple backup script.

What about memory? Or is RAM included the amazon-deal? I might have missed that. Also, i suggest replacing the oldest drive with a newer bigger one instead of just adding more disks. Mixing different sizes is one of the strong points of unraid. Just a tought: if you are not transcoding and for your use-case, you can even buy an (itx) motherboard with onboard cpu. They are cheap and low power. But you will need a sata add-in card. (also not expensive).

Thanks.👍 A 10GB dummy file tops out at 586MB/s. Conclusion: a 5gbit switch is enough.

Are sata3 ports not limited to 600MB/s ?? I'm transferring an iso file from nvme to sata ssd over 10gbit network and it tops out at 822MB/s.

This idea also crossed my mind but I don't realy see the point in a 'storage-only server' and a seperate 'docker-only server'. You need to service/maintain an extra server, you add an extra point of failure (lots of point actually), more energy consuption and on top of that, if for instance your storage server is down, your docker server cannot reach it so it's also just sitting duck's and vice versa. A second unraid server could be useful if you want to run a router os vm, a proxy manager, all the networking stuff etc. or as a backup server. If all you need is a media/storage server for home use then i would not bother with a second server unless it's a backup server.

Have a look at "Filebrowser". https://filebrowser.org/features You can share files and folders by link to anyone but only registered users can also upload. No database needed.

In short: For your mobile devices, try Resilio Sync. For my desktop & laptop i use the Windows default backup solution (file history) and store them on my unraid server. The build-in backup solution on windows is not bad and works perfectly for home use. And you don't have to maintain another docker app.
