Hi All,

 

I am new to unraid and setting my server.

 

I currently have a Truenas server storing all my data/media.

 

I am setting up a new unraid server to to host plex, nextcloud and other plugins/dockers. I want to keep my truenas server which is in a seprate box. Is there a way for me to store my media in truenas server and map the shares into unraid so i can store data for plex and nextcloud in the truenas server but the dockers are stored in unraid server.

 

The reason i want this is because unraid has great support for docker and following tutorials from spaceinvaderone can help me to setup plex/nextcloud on unraid. and other reason is i want my data to be stored on ZFS and truenas is great for ZFS and unraid is great for dockers.

 

open to alternatives.

 

Hardware:

 

Truenas server:

HP Microserver gen 8

Xeon e3 1265L v2

16 GB  DDR3 ECC

4 x 6TB hard drives - raid z1

 

UNRAID server: will be used for plex/nextcloud

generic lenovo case with not much space to add harddrives

i5 7400

8 GB DDR4 ram

2 x 500 GB samsung 870 EVO SSD mirrored - used for app data 

 

Thanks in advance.

Look at the Unassigned Devices plugin.

Hi JorgeB,

 

Thank you for the suggestion.

 

with this plugin how can i store the data/media from plex/nextcloud. i have mapped the share into unraid using the plugin but i cannot see the external share under the "user shares" tab in unraid.

please point me to the right directions if i am doing anything wrong.

 

Thank you.

Best to ask in the plugin support thread, but you should just need to indicate the remote path, e.g., /mnt/remotes/name_of_share
