TOMMY-V

Hi, First of all thank you for providing this container, it fills exactly my needs when it comes to preserving my photos. Since the last 2 updates (as far as I noticed) the container goes into "unhealthy" modus after starting it. It seems to be working OK, but I have never had any container in this modus (running around 20 containers 24/7). I have two instances of the iCloud Picture Downloader running (one for my account one for my girlfriend's). The only info I can find about this unhealthy state is that it takes too long for some components or processes to respond. Any idea what might be causing this, or how to fix it? thank you! Tom

@trurl, thank you for your answer. I'll revise my setup. Leave out the NVME (seems that compatibility with those isn't 100% anyway) and replace it with a normal HDD to start with. MY current NAS will be the last device to be replaced. I'll use that to backup the data on the data disk regulary.

Hi all, New to the Unraid scene and planning my first build. The purpose of the build is to replace 3 existing devices on my home network. 1) 2012 MacMini i3 used as a Plex / App server 2) Synology DS410j 12TB NAS 3) Raspberry Pi3 running Home Assistant The build will be spread over 3 phases with no timings set at the moment. 1) Application server to host Home Assistant, Plex, Sonarr, Radarr, ... in Docker containers (replace MacMini and RPi3) - AMD Ryzen 5 2600 (no GPU) - GigaByte Aorus B450 M - 16GB Corsair kit 2400 (on HW compatibility list for the MB) - ADATA XPG SX8200 256GB nvme M.2 SSD - MSI nvidia GT-710 1GB - Sandisk Cruzer Fit 32GB as Flash drive 2) Add High(er) end GPU for Plex HW transcoding (once I get into HEVC-4K, now only H264-1080p) - nvidia 1050/1060/... 3) Add WD Red array (replace Synology) - 8 TB drive as parity - 2/3x 4TB as storage - Max 6 drives in total using all SATA ports on the MB Some extra info: 1) I plan to add the NAS functionality last, during phase 1 & 2 my current NAS will remain functional as the fileserver for Plex / Apps 2) When adding the higher end GPU, the lower end GPU will remain in the system 3) VMs are not crucial, rather a nice to have 4) The server will run 24/7, headless 5) The server will be used from phase 1 on I already watched a lot of videos on YT (mainly Space Invader One and Byte My Bits) and have concluded that this is the plan that works best for me. Although I gathered a lot of info online, there are still some things that aren't completely clear to me. Hoping to find some answers/advice here. So, if anybody can help: 1) Can I start out without an array and only the M.2 SSD for app data, until I add phase 3? 2) When adding more drives, is there an easy way to migrate stuff on the SSD to the array and from then on use the SSD as cache? 3) When adding the high end GPU, can I use the low end GPU as passthrough for VMs? Will I gain antyhing this way when VMs will only be connected to remotely? 3) Is there anything I am missing hardware wise? 4) Any warnings using this setup as planned? 5) A cool serve name :-) Thanks!
