Hi, I have been using UNRAID since v4.7 and think it's a great product but since v5.0 there is a lot of extra functionality being added that is not storage related. I virtualise UNRAID under ESXI and use it purely as a NAS, If I need additional services I typically add it to another VM as I want UNRAID to do one job only. I see UNRAID continuing to expand and add extra features that will be a benefit to the community but as this occurs I'd like the option to disable them within the settings of the WEBUI. I don't want to see references to VM's etc except under settings where the option can be enabled/disabled. If they are turned off there is also the potential to reduce the memory/CPU footprint as the processes for these features wouldn't be running?

 

Thanks!

That already happens if you disable the VM services, same for docker.

I think if the hardware isn't KVM compatible then you can't disable it as such, and the KVM page states you need compatible hardware.

Yes, forgot about that, you can still disable it manually by editing domain.cfg on flash/config and changing SERVICE="enable" to "disable"

True, having said that, I can understand the OP's request, seems a reasonable thing to expect. Perhaps@bonienl can help?

This is exactly the case, I have disabled Docker functionality so it doesnt show up in the menus across the top but VM's is still listed because I am unable to disable it.

 

My request is also not necessarily specific to the above, I think giving people the option of using UNRAID as a pure NAS only solution by allowing them to disable/hide those extra features would be appreciated.

 

Thanks!
