January 3, 20179 yr I have 2 unRaid servers. 1 at my house and 1 at my brother-in-laws house. Currently we have files saved on both servers and only the server at his house is running Emby. We are always looking for ways to improve/unify our servers. Does anyone have any good ideas towards unifying our file storage or any cool things we could do with the 2 servers? Also, I know this would be more complicated, but is there a way for us to run Emby on both servers and load balance the traffic across the two or anything like that?
January 3, 20179 yr Run plex on both systems and share both servers amongst each other. Then set up crashplan on both systems and backup the one to the other and the other to the one..
January 4, 20179 yr Author Could you please elaborate on ways to make plex communicate from both servers?
January 4, 20179 yr plex would likely come up as two different host. so your system hostname would be one plex server and then your system hostname would be another plex server. i'm thinking if you want plex centralized you would probably need setup crashplan and then select one of unraid system as the main plex host and then use the other possibly as a backup say if one of the plex servers is down. likely want to use which over plex server has the best internet package. hopefully you don't have comcrap with bandwith limits on either if so go with the provider that doesn't have bandwidth limitations. would also be helpful if your service provider has a nice upload speed which will help with transferring files along with streaming files
January 4, 20179 yr Author So this might be a stupid question, but here it goes. You know how Youtube has many servers all over the world and not every server contains the same data but there are duplicates in some instances. The point is, how are google's youtube servers integrated with each other? My understanding of it is this. You look for a video to watch on youtube. you click on the video and it searches for the closest youtube servers that contains the video file and streams it from there. Right? To add even more complexity, if a server is loaded down with traffic youtube will then search for a further less loaded server to balance the operations with right? I know this is probably way beyond anything short of a large corporation, but is there any way to do something even close to this with my two personal servers?
