+1. This should have been a feature a long time ago

I've been running unRAID for at least 6 years. In that time I've had 2 different builds, but I've used the same USB key for both. I was skeptical about it at first but now I think the OS being held on a USB is one unRAIDs best features. Frees up a SATA/ nvme port for more storage plus makes it easier to move to new hardware.

I've had a similar though. Automatic file management similar to File Juggler, Belvidere, or Droppit. Rather than moving all cached files at once, allow users to move cached files based off user determined rules. For example, move DVR recordings older than 7 days to the array or move a video file that's been accessed twice in the past few days back onto cache. It's possible to do this with user scripts, but a UI to configure rules would me amazing. Unfortunately I've yet to find a program that runs on Linux that offers this.

There's 2 fairly good mobile apps on Android. I use Companion. Doesn't give you every option the website does but it's great for starting and stopping VMs and docker containers

Oh dang. Glad to see this is possible without googling how to pull it off via the terminal

The mover is a great tool, but only having the options of keeping files permanently in cache or moving everything at a predetermined time makes it somewhat unflexible. Would be a huge additional if users could move files in a specific share from cache to array if say, the file hasn't been modified in x amount of days or if the file is older than x, etc . For example, new media downloads could stay in cache longer so accessing new media would be faster or files needed for a work project could stay in cache until they haven't been modified for a week or so. This is pretty easy to pull off with scripts but having a nice UI to help users do this would make cache even more useful.

I always thought a mover option based off file date would be nice. Like, move files that haven't change in a few days to the array

Love the dashboard but it would be nice if we could hide specific Docker apps and VMs. Don't really need quick access to every app

Yeah, I've tried Android X86. Unfortunately it ran like crap and some apps don't work well on it

+1. Would love to be able to run a Android VM, mainly for Tasker

Do you have the user scripts plugin installed? Seems like it'll do what you're looking for

+1

Oh, I know. Pipe dream. Would love a more customizable dashboard similar to Organizr but I'm not gonna hold my breath

+1 Mainly just want the user script plugin accessable from the dashboard

I'm looking for a way to distribute video encoding jobs between my new unraid server and my old server. Has anyone done this with unraid? I've been looking into Clustercode and Pytranscoder-ffmpeg , but I can't test either until my parts come in

Never tried that docker but you can use tasker yatse and ifttt to control Kodi with a Google home

something like this for retro games would actually be pretty cool. As wrong as piracy is, for a lot of old games, its really the only option./

Hey everyone, I'm currently waiting on parts for a new unraid build and I got to thinking about my old hardware. I'm considering connecting it to the new server via a SFP+ and using it as a media encoder. Wanna try clustercode so I can have both servers encoding but if that doesn't work handbrake. Got me wondering if anyone has tried something similar and what everyone is doing with their old unraid hardware.

Unraid is based off of slackware, so you should be able to install whatever software you want. A headless server doesn't really need a WiFi manager or a way to change keyboard layout, but I'm sure it's doable with a few quick Google searches. Installing software isn't as easy as Ubuntu based distros, but it's doable. Using a VM is the better option though. The performance loss using KVM is barely noticeable.

There's already a full desktop. Boot into gui mode

I use aptalca/docker-dolphin and I'm playing around with filebrowser/filebrowser from community applications. Didn't like Krusader. Too much going on for me

Oh, quotes were needed around $target. Tried fixing that myself but missed that. Thanks again

Thank you. Works as long as there's no spaces in the folder name

Need some help. I'm trying to set up unraid to move any folder larger than 5G in my download folder to a watch folder I have set up with the handbrake docker. Any one know how I can accomplish this?
