December 4, 20232 yr Hey! this is my first post in this forum and I hope I got the right Subforum. I am using Yunohost at the moment on my HP EliteDesk 600 G3 with a 1TB SSD and a 2x2TB SDD. I want some more "flexibility" and want to cut of the "web" part. I just want to allow access to my server via VPN, so that my data is not visible to the web. I also have a synology raid 1 and backing up my data every night with restic from my server to the synology. I know unraid is not a raid, but I would like to have a "mirror" of this 2TB SSDs to the second one. Is this a stupid Idee? What I want is: easy way of installing Docker Apps like Nextcloud, Vaultwarden, Calibre web ..etc and I testet it with unraid and it was pretty straightforward, but I alway feel like unraid is WAY to powerful for usecase, because at the moment I just use SSDs and 2 TB is enough for me (maybe in future I will add some HDDs). But if I just spinup some debian and portainer I have a lot things to care about and time... yeah time is limited and missing the security features and so on. So my cryptic question is: should I use unraid or is something else better for my use case? Thanks in advance 🙂

December 4, 20232 yr Author I tried it. I like the UI and UX, maybe I should rewrite my question. Does unraid makes sense just for two SSDs? Can I mirror them? Heard there is a problem with trim if I use the parity.

You can assign an old flash drive as the only array device to fulfill that current requirement, then create a zfs pool with both ssds, TRIM works for pools.

Heard there is a problem with trim if I use the parity. I used a mini PC N5105 as AIO before, only has a flash drive for unraid OS, and one 256G SSD for VMs and some dockers. It's easy but it can be done with PVE or ESXi with a little more learning curve.

I trust nothing. 12 hours ago, bauerbyter said: I just want to allow access to my server via VPN Just me, but get a router of your own. Some like pfSense, or Opensense, or Unifi, or etc... Everyone else has offered very good advise. MrGrey.
