September 2, 20187 yr New to unraid, still in my trial. My requirement is I'd like to run certain services (dockers and/or VMs) while the array is stopped. My concern is that "critical" services such as home automation, network management may be down for hours at a time if I encounter any issues where I need to stop the array for hours at a time to fix. These services would not need to be on the array at all (just a cache disk or unasigned device), I'd just like to run them on the same box. Any ideas on what I can do? 1) Run docker when array is stopped 2) Run VM when array is stopped 3) Run Unraid inside a VM and run my other services in a separate VM or in the host system? Or is this not a likely issue and I'm overthinking this? Thanks!

June 2, 20206 yr separate docker/vms from the array would be a nice move. I would need that too. Hopefully the devs will take that into their roadmap. speaking of roadmap: is there something like that for unraid? Edited June 2, 20206 yr by Greyberry
