cypres0099 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Hi All, I just built the system in my signature and setup Unraid 6. It seems that a lot of stuff has changed from Unraid 5. I wanted to see how other people go about setting up their servers initially. I don't know that many must have plugins and I'm not sure if there's any "must change" settings in Unraid 6. Maybe I'm missing something awesome! What are the Top 10 things you would configure, install, or setup on your new Unraid 6 Server? [*]Cache Drive [*]Configure User Shares [*]Sabnzbd [*]Sonarr [*]Couchpotato [*]Plex [*]Guacamole remote desktop (never used this before but it looks cool) [*]I Don't Know [*]I Don't Know [*]I Don't Know [*]I Don't Know Link to comment
CHBMB Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I think preclear drives should be number one. Link to comment
MDEnce Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Definitely preclear drives as #1. Then in addition to what you have, in any order: Deluge Headphones CrashPlan OpenVPN That should make for a "top 12" Link to comment
trurl Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Which addons totally depends on you. For example, of those already named in this thread, plex is the only one I am using, but I do use others (in my sig). Link to comment

gundamguy Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I think like most things it's going to be user specific. Here's what I think the most common first steps are or should be. Setup notifcations Setup UPS support (if applicable) Pre-clear your disks then format them in XFS Setup Secheduled Parity Check Setup SMB, AFP, and/or NFS Link to comment

I note that none of these were in the OP. The main thing I would add to this list is screen (already mentioned) for doing the preclears. Link to comment
skyhawk Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Definitely preclear drives as #1. Then in addition to what you have, in any order: OpenVPN Will OpenVPN give me access to the tower from outside the network, or will it give me access to my entire network from outside the network?

It is the easiest way to install screen now. Link to comment

It is the easiest way to install screen now. "Yet". You need the utempter package as well, the nerdpack is the easiest way to do it for now. Hopefully other rescue tools will be added to it in the future, making it indispensable. i.e. ddrescue, scrub, etc, etc. Link to comment
