AT0MAC Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 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 Quote Link to comment
tdallen Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 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? Quote Link to comment
