Hi.

 

I'm new to this forum and new to unRaid. In my late 50`s, not tech skilled. Been in the computer business since mid 80`s, actually launched Amiga 500 for Commodore back in ´87 I think it was. 

 

I am planning setting up UnRaid on a Supermicro Workstation (pressed purchase button today). Plex (4K transcoding) on Unbuntu with GPU passthru, a Mac vm, a Win vm, Roon Server, backup for friends and family, etc. So I will most likely ask for help from time to time. 

 

Looking forward to talk to you.

 

Cheers,

Welcome Frode! We’re a friendly bunch so feel free to ask away if/when you run into any trouble. 

 

Cheers!

Thanks.

Welcome. suggest you look at Docker for your plex, save on resources.

Welcome, Frode. Think you'll find unRAID pretty stable and well supported, even for us that are "Over 50". And the forum here is pretty helpful. Have a similar build, but am using a used Dell T310 server as my main. Am working with Plex in a Docker app, but am a newbie with that app. But it runs. Mostly doing digital photography and some video work on the side as a hobby.

Thanks all,

 

I am up and running now with Plex and VMs. Very much that fast due to SpaceinvaderOne`s very useful instrction videos. Running Plex with Nvidia RTX4000. Soon as data is copied I will do some testing.

Were you able to find and install a Roon server?

Yes. I am running Roon Server on a MacOS High Sierra kvm. As a backup Roon Server on Qnap.
