[Slow Transfer Speeds over VPN]

Similar but different question.

Unraid Samba share, 10 Mbps upstream bandwidth.
Google pixel Android client, OpenVPN in via LTE, 40 Mbps downstream bandwidth.

I'm trying to download a file, I'm getting ~100 KB/s aka 0.8 Mbps.

IOW I'm getting about 1/12 my expected transfer rate.

OpenVPN server is running on my Asus RT-68U.

Am I overtaxing the router? No, this router can handle ~35 Mbps without any adjustments.

Tbh, I'm not the media consuming machine I used to be. With 15 TB usable and only 6 TB in use I will probably be replacing failed drives long before I run out of space.

I think that instead of 
 
#public = no 
 
Should be 
Public = no

I set browsable to yes, public to no, validusers to user1, rebooted and appear to be cooking with gas.

Thanks y'all.

[Samba extra configuration]

I'm following the same tutorial but I want to restrict SMB access to user1 only, my samba extra configuration looks like:

[Dropbox]
      path = /mnt/disks/dropbox
      comment =
      browseable = yes
      # Public
      #public = no
      valid users = user1
      writeable = yes
      vfs objects =

 

Despite restarting samba, all of my clients can still access dropbox on the Unraid.

 

thanks @SpaceInvaderOne

[Moving from Amahi to Unraid]

Thanks for all the advice!

 

I created a build guide here

[First Unraid- Coffee Lake ITX]

I introduced myself here when I was planning to move to Unraid.

 

Took me a few hours but I'm up and running with the following specs:

Hardware

SilverStone DS380B (with the cardboard ducting)

SilverStone SST-ST30SF PSU

AsRock H370M-ITX/AC

Intel Core i3-8100

Noctua NH-L9i Cooler

2x Cooler Master SickleFlow 120 case fans

Noctua NA-SRC10 Low Noise Adapters all around (my Unraid is in our bedroom so it has to be silent)

16GB G.Skill DDR4

Internal USB 2.0 to Female USB connector

Storage

Sandisk Cruzer Glide 16GB USB Fob

Cache Pool

2xSamsung 840 EVO 250 GB

Parity

5TB WD Green (w/ Idle Timer Reset)

Array
3x5TB WD Green (w/ Idle Timer Reset)

 

Software:

Unraid 6.6.5

 

Right now the machine is building the Array.

Attached are the pics.

As you can see, it needs better cable management. That said, I'm not really sure how you can "manage" 6 SATA Cables inside of such a tiny case.

 

Also, I'm tapping all six SATA ports on the Mobo, so the expandability is currently limited even though it can physically fit 4 more 3.5" drives and 2 more 2.5" drives (and an M.2 if I wanted to get cute).

 

When the Array is done I'll start to set up User Shares, Docker, etc.

 

 

 

 

 

[Moving from Amahi to Unraid]

I'm watching this tutorial video on Dockers:

Unbelievable. 

 

Things are seem so much simpler than they were eight years ago. Docker seems pretty revolutionary. 

[Moving from Amahi to Unraid]

Thank you very much for the input.

@LochSuppose I take the two drives, and form a RAID1 cache pool. How would I get mover to ignore any apps/dockers stored to the cache drive?

 

@Jcloud My current list looks like:

CIFS shares, couchpotato, Sonarr, Radarr, Transmission, OpenVPN, Plexmediaserver.

I'd like it to serve as a TimeMachine Server, but I think that might exceed my skill level.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Moving from Amahi to Unraid]

I could use some advice on what to do with my Non-Array drives.

I have three 3x 240 gb SATA SSDs, one 250 gb 2.5" hard drive.

 

the asrock has 6 SATA ports, so i plan to use 1 for parity, 3 for array, and 2 for ssd's. Would you recommend using one or two for cache?

I was probably going to go 1 cache, one unassigned and use it for plexmediaserver.

 

if I want to add drives down the line i can probably add a PCIe SATA controller, yes?

[Moving from Amahi to Unraid]

About 7 years ago, I wanted the ability to stream media from a computer to an android phone, pretty heady stuff, I know.

I bought a brand spanking new HP N36L, slapped 4x2TB drives, and Amahi 6 on it and I was off to the races. Knowing nothing about linux, fedora, etc. I had plenty of time to muck about, fix broken stuff etc.

 

About 3 years ago, I built another AmahiBox:

Fedora 21 / Amahi 8
SilverStone DS380B
Asus P8H77-I
Intel Core i3-3220T
8GB DDR3
Crucial M500 250GB SSD
4x5TB WD Green (w/ Idle Timer Reset) in software RAID5
Noctua NH-L9i CPU Cooler
SilverStone SST-ST30SF PSU

 

It's what I'm using today.

 

While it still does what I want, the machine has gotten crankier and crankier, and Amahi development appears to have slowed to a crawl. As it's hard to update Fedora/Amahi as a non-superuser, I'm stuck on F21/A8, and my installation Plexmediaserver has grown increasingly out of date.

 

I read about Unraid, and being a commercial project it seems to have a active support and does more or less exactly what I want without needing to be a guru just to keep it up and running.

 

My next machine will be:

SilverStone DS380B (with the ducting)

AsRock H370M-ITX/AC

Intel Core i3-8100

16GB DDR4

2xSamsung 840 EVO
4x5TB WD Green (w/ Idle Timer Reset) (Unraid)

Noctua NH-L9i CPU Cooler
SilverStone SST-ST30SF PSU

Internal USB 2.0 to Female USB connector

Good Quality 8gb USB key

 

The parts are already purchased but not assembled, any last minute advice folks would give me a relative novice before I slap it all together?

 

I've backed up the all the files i'm keeping to an external drive so I can safely wipe out the RAID5.

 

best regards,
