Cool, and as for WLAN configuration?

I've just set up my very first disk array. Just the two disks, nothing else. Totally simple. After formatting is complete, it's reporting 22GB used. There's a 21,5GB file on one of the disks called Docker.img, and another 1GB file called libvirt.img. I understand these are meant to support virtual machines. But boy, why to they have to be so huge? I don't know that I'll ever need more than 10% of that for my docker VM's, and I was going to put the rest of the storage to good use. But, 22GB is about one-tenth of my storage currently. That's insane, especially if you consider there's literally nothing there yet. Where did all that even come from anyway?? Bottomline is, I don't need or want HUGE files to be created on my disks without my permission. Who knows what else unRAID is going to bloat my disks with?

Getting this error: Sorry, an error (403) occurred registering USB Flash GUID (snip) The error is: Your time/date is incorrect, please update it or enable NTP NTP is enabled by default, so don't bother. However, the time zone was wrong (why can't it be detected?) and I've set it to the correct one, which is GMT+1:00 for me. Still getting the error. This is bump number two for me, immediately after installing unRAID. My first impression of unRAID is not looking particularly good (btw, looking at the list of time zones, I pretty guarantee there's going to be problems with daylight savings, good luck with that!)

So I followed the Getting Started guide and that's pretty darn easy. Server is now booted up. But... Now what? The next guide is Initial Setup, which assumes it has magically connected itself to the network - which in my case isn't going to happen. So it feels like the video guides are skipping a few steps, which is a tad frustrating as a total beginner with unRAID I think I need a way to login to the server on the local console, and that needs a username+password. At the very least. At best, I need to know how to configure the WLAN adapter properly, since I suspect there isn't going to be a fancy interface for that like on a Windows desktop.
