Hi,
I am not sure if unRaid would be my best option for what I want to do, so I will give you a quick overview of my setup right now:
1x Raspberry Pi Zero
--> pihole for network wide adblocking
1x Raspberry Pi 4 (400GB microSD Card)
--> homebridge for smarthome devices
--> nextcloud for personal cloud usage of documents, rss feed, photos, files, calendar, contacts...
--> Plex Server with music library
1x Raspberry Pi 3
---> homebridge for smarthome devices (certain plugins do not work on the same system
1x Mac Pro (4x6GB HDD RAID5)
--> Plex Server with TV Series, Movies
--> Photos Library
--> Ecoding / Video&Photo Editing
1x iPad Pro
--> Daily usage for Mails, surfing, social media etc.
My intention is to sell my Raspberry Pi's and Mac Pro and combine everything into one device with unRaid.
Run the system headless if possible with the iPad Pro as the "main display"
--> 1 Container with pihole
--> 1 Container with Plex (accessable from outside of my network)
--> 1 Container with nextcloud for personal cloud storage
--> hardware power do make some Video/Photo editing (if possible in a macOS environment)
Now the question:
1. Is this possible, or would you suggest me something else, which suits my use case in a better way?
2. What hardware would you recommend me on a budget? (Due to performance/price, I would love prefer a Ryzen System
3. If I set it up, is there any maintenance needed, or can I run it 24/7 with no issues?
I do not have much experience with container, VM etc. So I would really appreciate any help for easy to follow instructions on how to set up everything, correctly, safe and stable.
Thanks in advance for any help, it is much appreciated!
