  1. Hi, I keep digging on the internet and I cannot find anyone that was able to install git on unraid. Maybe I am not searching for the right keywords. Anyway, does anyone have any experience in the matter and would be kind to share it with me? I tend to script almost every process that I do on any of my linux box. And I store all that on my gitlab server. Now I am looking for a way to get GIT installed on my unraid box that I use to backup my stuff and host a secondary Plex server for family usage. Right now I manually do a copy and paste of all the files that I want to backup. But doing my backup this way is quite tedious as you can imagine. Since my main storage server uses freeNAS, my options for file sync with unraid are quite limited. So I wrote a script that mounts the SMB share with cifs and then backup the share using rsync. Now I transfered the script using scp for now since I can’t figure out how to install git. But I would rather use git in the future because it makes it much easier to backup and maintain scripts. Anyway any help will be much appreciated. Regards
  2. Is there a way to do it without redoing the flash drive tho ?
  3. I couldn't help but notice that the question in the title hasn't been answered and I am looking for the answer. Please help. How to reset all settings and disk configuration in unRaid Thanks in advance
  4. Hi, I've been looking for a while on the forum for an answer to this question : Can we deploy unRAID to multiple servers using pxelinux? I am referring mostly to licensing. As I now, a license is locked to one instence. But I am looking to deploy this into a datacenter. And the fact the matter is, USB sticks kinda sucks for reliability. So I wanted to boot some servers from the network instead using pxelinux. Would I have to create an image for each server or could I use the same image for all the servers. I am not sure how unRAID activation works.
  5. I know this thread is farelly old now, but if you are still interesting in setting up pxe linux on ubuntu, you might want to check this link : https://docs.laswitchtech.com/doku.php?id=documentations:linux:pxelinux
  6. I was doing some research on google and ended here. I couldn't help myself but noticing that there was no resolution on CIFS mount options. I realize that this post is old. But I had encountered a similar issue before. When mounting your CIFS share, you will need to add some parameters. username=msusername,password=mspassword,uid=ubuntuuser,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 Username => Authorized user on the source server Password => Password of said user UID => PAM local user used as the owner File_mode => File permission of the mount Dir_mode => Directory permission of the mount If you want to have those on boot, I suggest you add entries in your /etc/fstab Reference : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently Finally although NFS would provide better performance, SMB will provide you with better security. NFS is usually used when all the NAS are on a separate dedicated network. So that clients will not be able to reach them. And those shares would be then made available via a SMB server that sits between the SAN (Storage Area Network) and the Local LAN to serve the clients.
