Unraid7.1.4. Need help to setup photos/video storage solution

Featured Replies

Hi, Need help if there is any guide to setup IOS device photos/video upload and management.

I have an Unraid 7.1.4 Server, which is currently used as Internal Network storage for file backup (4TB).

I also have an old Netgear NAS as a video server (4x2TB RAID5).

The Netgear is fairly old (> 10 years) hence I am thinking to migrate the HDD to the Unraid Server.

2ndly, there are 6 iphone/ipad devices in the family which the 200GB cloud storage on each account is no longer enough.

Subscribing to Apple One no longer practical as some of the service provided diff in diff countries hence not accessible.

And I notice that added photos or video towards the iCloud is causing the phone getting slower and slower.

Plan:

  1. Move the 4x2TB HDD to Unraid Server. (Decomm the Netgear)

  2. Setup Unraid server to allow iphone/ipad remote upload.

  3. Photos/Video management tool in IOS devices?

It will be great if anyone can share any link or guide how to do that ?

Thanks for the swift reply.

Step 1 is fine. I can move the HDD no problem. The Unraid Server has been running for many years.

Step 2 and 3 which is what I need.

Maybe also User management and Folder permission management guide because now I need to create access and folders for family members.

I think it is better to start on watching some YouTube video. https://youtube.com/@spaceinvaderone and https://youtube.com/@ibracorp can guide you on the basic setup of your unraid server ( folder permission, management and so on ).

Then for the photos you can follow the Guide that I have sent to you.

There will be no straight tutorial for what are you searching but a lot of different video/tutorial to understand how UNRAID works and how to do what you are trying to accomplish :)
