  1. So I haven't found the information in this post (Not saying it's not there, though. There's a lot of pages!)

     

    For some reason, the user name and password I put in for the initial setup isn't working, so I am effectively locked out of my controller. Am I able to delete the config folder or just stop it, uninstall it and reinstall it? Also, if I do that, wireless will still work, right? Seems like it would, but I'm just making sure. I'd be trying to do this on the wireless, and the last thing I need is ANOTHER D'oh moment. I have enough of those in a day.

     

    Version is 6.8.3, Docker version is current LTS

  2. Well, the e5-2670 (v1 I'm assuming? You didn't mention it.) has 40 pcie lanes available, but I don't know how many actually are available to the pcie slots after the cpu takes some. Will you also be passing thru an SSD to each vm or were you just thinking of having them stay on the array?

    Happy birthday unRaid!

     

    I've been a user since at least v4. I did have an affair with Storage Spaces when they came out in Windows 8, but came back to unRaid when VMs were added. (I'm one of the soldiers that bought in to Xen, all the manual configs and all the pain, only to find KVM became king!)

     

    I've been blogging about everything unRaid enables me to do for over 7 years now. In that time (and still) the platform allows me run;

    • Whole house network attached storage (!)
    • Whole house audio system (squeezebox based)
    • Whole house PVR & media (Emby + Kodi)
    • Home Automation & IoT (Thanks Docker!)
    • Multiple Hackintosh/Windows 10 VMs
    • Multiple headless utility VMs
    • Virtual HTPCs
    • LAMP architecture to support automation as well as occasional web dev projects
    • Lots of other bits & bobs I've likely forgotten

     

    And the bit I love - I can run all this on a single box. It's allowed me decommission any number of devices and systems. One Box To rule Them All.!

     

    I've just rebuilt my unRaid server with a Threadripper CPU to act as a foundation for the next number of years. A limited edition case badge would be the crowning glory.;

    First off, great looking build. I would love specs, because I am planning a Threadripper build for my one box to rule them all setup. Waiting on 3rd gen TR to see if that will be worth it, or just grab a 2950. My plan sounds like yours, but mine feels like.. overkill? (Is there really such a thing if you're going to use it all in theory??)

     

    My plan is to have 1 Windows 10 VM with passthrough to nvme drive and some AMD card, 1 Linux VM with the same setup, MS Server installs and Linux servers that don't need a video card to perform well on a SSD, then about 5 10TB drives for storage, running pfsense, plex, filezilla, and anything else I can think of.

    Instead of 6 4TB, I suggest 4 8TB drives. Better speed, better energy efficiency.

     

    Also, I recommend finding someone using that motherboard with passthough to see if it will play nice, not all boards do.

    Valid point on the passthough.

     

    As far as the HDDs, explain a little about why 4 bigger drives would work better than the smaller drives? Something to do with the parity or the fact that they're 7200 rpm? Just interested.

     

    Thanks for the reply!

  5. First time poster, in absolute love with Unraid.

     

    For a test run, I threw it on my old Phenom x6 with 16 gb of ram and 5 2 tb drives. Been doing some testing, thinking I am going to add a cache drive to see if that helps network file transfers.

     

    I absolutely love it. Honestly, better than Freenas, better than openmediavault, and worth whatever I have to pay for the devices.

    I'm planning a new build and I can't do anything small time, so here is the build list I am working on.

     

    Fractal Design Define R6 Gunmetal Brushed Aluminum/Steel ATX Silent Modular Tempered Glass Window Mid Tower Computer Case

    My plan is to do hardware passthrough and give linux (What I use all day) the AMD card and one of the nvme drives, give 10 the other nvme drive and the Nvidia card, then run all of the neato dockers and services I want.
