September 23, 20241 yr I recently ran through a series of brown and black outs that caused my data disks to corrupt in a way that was unrepairable. This WAS NOT the fault of the OS! I do not have a UPS, though I'm going to focus on fixing that in the next months, after I find a job. The drives lost their superblock, I was using ZFS, but basically I was unable to recover. I had no snapshots, a snapshot manager would be the most useful thing to add at this point. I decided to give TrueNAS a whirl. What I found was that it was performant and I like the UI generally. They had virtually all the same applications that unraid does. Where trueNAS lacked was it's ability to manipulate the containers. You downloaded a container and you had whatever options were available to you to install it. I run my adguard servers on a dedicated IP and for that the solution to give it the same static IP was clunky, I had to assign it to the whole server or go through quite the process to create a dedicated macvlan. Unraid makes it easy to have a significant amount of power over your array. I would like more performance out of the array for somethings like nextcloud and immich, but it is what it is. Fortunately I had backups so I had the luxury of being able to wipe my array and start over. I hope none of you have to do that, if you want to know what kind of UPS to buy, I recommend either APC or the Amazon Basics one (if it's still available), but make sure it has AVR (Active Voltage Regulation.) I have a cyberpower avr ups on my TV and it goes off line every time we get a brown out. I live in the plains and we have had a number of bad storms and lots of construction.
