[MicroServer N36L/N40L/N54L - 6 Drive Edition]

Glad to see people are still using these. I got one years ago and I wish I had picked up a second one back in 2013. Then I could have replaced one of my unRAID setups using the oldest hardware. I also use four external enclosures with mine. And has been working great for many years.

If you want mine please PM me. I don't use it any more. It has the hard drives and also one spare as a potential swap out if one failed.

 

I did have unraid on it but upgraded this to windows. You could easily stick unraid back on it again.

For some reason I didn't get notified of your post. Just thought I'd check back for progress and saw it.

 

Thanks. Will try this out when I get a chance

[MicroServer N36L/N40L/N54L - 6 Drive Edition]

I need to buy some new drives for my server.

 

I'm thinking 3 x 2tb.

 

Anybody recommend anything. I'm in the uk.

 

I notice there are red, blue and green wd drives. Which is best?

 

[Which 3 TB drive should I buy?]

So the reds are the best to buy then?

 

I'm just about to order some.

[Is there a way of renaming or deleting files from unraid via iPhone]

There are over a dozen programs for the Android that let you connect to your Windows/Unraid shares easily. Browse them easily, create, move, play, whatever you want to do. Very easy. Soon as you try to do that with IOS your going to get stuck. I found ONE program that FileBrowser program that sort of found my Windows share. It was nothing like my Android stuff at all. Android is so much more flexible, you can actually work with it and connect to your LAN without having to buy special hardware and stuff. Try playing a 4gb MKV video file with your ipad through your network on the fly. Hahahahaha.

 

Yes but I don't have an Android phone anymore. I used to have one and replaced it with an iPhone. I've stuck with the iPhone ever since. It's just personal preference but I find it easier to use and I also like the way it integrated with my Apple Tvs.

[Is there a way of renaming or deleting files from unraid via iPhone]

Can I do this on an iPhone?

[What 2tb drive should I buy in the uk]

For the money i think your better going for a 3tb drive.

[What are you using to play your media (movies)]

3 x Apple TVs running XBMC.

[Is there a way of renaming or deleting files from unraid via iPhone]

I'm no good with command line.

 

Needs to be a GUI app.

 

Anyone know of a free alternative to file explorer.

[2TB or 3TB?]

It's up to you. It will always be a risk upgrading to A new version that either isnt out or is newly out.

 

I've recently upgraded to 5 release candidate and the process was suprisingly easy.

 

If you want 3TB you've got no choice really.

 

I'm upgrading my drives in the very near future and I'm going to stick 3TB in all my slots and get rid of my old drives on eBay.

[Is there a way of renaming or deleting files from unraid via iPhone]

Ideally I want to do this via my local network on my iPhone or iPad.

 

I'm not great with command line. I need something similar to windows explorer (or something very easy to use) to rename or delete files.

 

I don think my unraid server can be accessed by the outside world but I might be wrong on that. How would I find out and stop it if that is the case. I don't want a hacker getting in and deleting all my stuff.

[Is there a way of renaming or deleting files from unraid via iPhone]

Thanks. Will check it out

[Enable Air Print to print via iphone on Unraid Server]

Thanks for the reply.

 

Will have a check as to where I'm up to and report back.

 

From memory I installed cups service ok.

 

I struggled to get the ppd file. My printer isn't listed as an option on one of the methods. I did get it from the other and stuck it in the relevant place.

 

I even managed to choose it an add a printer via the cups interface. However I didn't get anything to actually print out when I did the test page and also my iPhone could not see the printer.

 

 

[Downgrade to 4.7]

What type of issues should I watch out for?

[Is there a way of renaming or deleting files from unraid via iPhone]

As per title. Once I've watched a rubbish movie I'd like to delete it without cracking open the laptop.

 

Likewise my movie scraper doesn't recognise some file names so an easy way to rename them would be handy.

[Downgrade to 4.7]

Can you tell us why you want to downgrade? I am on the latest release and so far have not had any issues and I am using the SASLP-MV8 card.  I would like to know what issues you are experiencing, so I know what to possibly expect.

 

Thanks,

 

David

 

It's my own fault. I upgraded to try and get AirPrint working. I failed on that miserably.

 

I thought I'd downgrade to a stable version again but it looks like I might be better off staying where I am.

[Enable Air Print to print via iphone on Unraid Server]

I didn't get this working in the end.

 

Tried both methods without success.

[Which 3 TB drive should I buy?]

I'm looking to buy 3 of the following:

[Release Information]

Is there a date for the official release to come out or is this dependant on feedback from the release candidates?

[Downgrade to 4.7]

I'm thinking of downgrading to v4.7.

 

Is this done by replacing the two files or is there any other way to downgrade?

[How do you BACKUP your computer(s) to your unRaid Server?]

Im looking for a solution that does a backup automatically each week from my laptops to the server.

 

Any recommendations. 

 

I tried to install crash plan on the server and failed miserably. I think you need a degree in unraid to do that.

[Is it possible to install Sky Drive on Unraid?]

I have a Sky Drive subscription.

 

I currently have the data on my unraid server but use a pointer on my laptop to make the laptop think the files are stored locally.

 

At the moment i have to have my laptop on to sync the data with Sky Drive.

 

I wonder if it's possible to install Sky Drive on the Unraid server and syncing directly therefore dispensing with the laptop.

[Recommended memory for version 5]

Fine if just running bare unraid or minimum plugins.

Thanks

[Recommended memory for version 5]

I've moved from v4.7 to v5.0 (man that was traumatic).

 

Anyway got there in the end. My server has 1gb memory in it?

 

Just wanting to check if this is enough or do I need more? I know I should have checked before upgrading.
