ThePhotraveller Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Being a new guy to linux and unraid environment. It took me a while to catch up with the new world here with VMs and Dockers not a geek but i love the concept of unraid and I curiously started to read about it for the past two weeks. So finally concluded to settle in that to set unraid as NAS for my small size photography office. I have certain needs but being the new guy i can't figure out what i need. So i need only the admin(s) being able to remove files from the NAS unit and other workers should only be able to read the data/copy or paste. But not to modify the existing data on the disk. My second need is that there another unit of people working at a different location like 30 km from my current location. At times they need to have access of the files i have ( all these days we had been transferring data using we transfer only) So i need a docker app or apps that can solve my needs. Hope i have mentioned clearly of what i need. Expecting your help here. Link to comment
wgstarks Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 The OpenVPN-AS docker may work for this. It would allow secure access to your network from a remote location. The free license will only allow 2 users logged in at a time though. If you want to give it a try there is a YouTube video to help with installation- https://youtu.be/EfBvvilnasU Link to comment
CHBMB Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Nextcloud may be worth a look as well, kind of like a selfhosted dropbox, but with a fair bit of extras as well. Before anyone else mentions it, although Unraid has parity which can help recover a failed disk or 2, it should not be considered a backup. As your business depends upon digital media make sure you have a robust backup strategy. Link to comment
