February 8, 20188 yr I am tempted to go back to unraid, buts been years since I last used this software and at that time It could not live up to what I wanted to achieve. I think its about time to change back, I just don't know how. I have a home server build around a HP Z220 SFF workstation. CPU is a G2030 dualcore 3GHz 8 GB ECC DDR3 RAM Quadro K600 graphics Firewire controller SATA3 controller 1x Hitachi NAS Drive 4TB 1x Seagate IronWolf Drive 4TB 1x Intel 60GB SSD 250Watt PSU What I want is this: Sync Dropbox Sync GDrive Sync OneDrive Backup B2 or normal Backblaze Plex server Firewire 800 support As of now I use a Windows based setup with remote desktop, as that can actually do everything I want and was not terrible complicated to setup. Could I make all this work on this hardware in the newest version of Unraid? I know the CPU is only a dualcore, so VMs is not one of its strongpoints. I also tried out different Linux distros, but the cloud syncing always got really complicated to setup
February 9, 20188 yr Hi - Docker is a much lighter weight virtualization option than VMs. There are a number of rsync/rclone type Dockers for unRAID 6 which would almost certainly do what you want with Dropbox, GDrive, OneDrive and BackBlaze B2 (not sure about regular Backblaze). I also don't know about about the Firewire 800 support. The G2030 and 8GB would be a good choice for unRAID and a couple of Dockers although you'd need to be realistic about Plex transcoding - the G2030 can probably only support one transcoded stream, max (that's not an unRAID limitation, it's a hardware limitation). You'd be pushing it, though, trying to run VMs on that older CPU. Do you have a way to setup unRAID on spare hardware with a trial license?
