Online sync with unraid?

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

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?
