happy bday

 

many more to come I hope.

Been with Unraid for 8 years. I came for the easy expandable arrays and stayed because of the great vm and docker support. Does everything I need and more. 

Happy B-Day UNraid, I am new customer, actually i heve 10 more days of trail, and I dont he exprience with platform like yours, buy i like it, I think she is very simple and easy for use.

Perfect Platform for home use. Balances Fault Tolerances and scalability with anyone's cost. Between File Shares for simple filesharing, and VMs and Containers, it's great for getting performance out of hardware for home use.  Just wish I discovered it earlier...

I used many solutions for a NAS before Unraid.  Started with freenas then moved onto Windows 10 Storage Spaces (ew) finally I landed with Unraid thanks to Linus Tech Tips. I love the VM management, docker containers, and interface to manage the server. This month will mark a full year for me and I plan to stay with Unraid and recommend it anytime some person I know wants to build their own NAS. Thanks Unraid and the Unraid community for all the work!

I Have My Unraid Server since Aprill this year and im really in love with it, the Nas and i really like the easy to use Docker funktion.

Unraid has been the perfect balance of a turnkey JBOD server solution and configurability. I love that I didn't have to do anything have a dashboard, network sharing administration, and docker/vm usage -- but at the same time any time something in unraid isn't totally cutting it I can easily dive into the terminal or create a user script. Oh and of course CA has been absolutely intrumental in turning my hardware into something useful.

I've been using Unraid for about 4 months, and I love it! For me, the best part is the install footprint in comparison to something like Windows.  I also love the Docker implementation. 

 

Congrats LimeTech! Here's to another 14 years!

Been an unraid user since 2010, love the low cost of entry by reusing old hardware.

Happy birthday! I purchased my first license in 2015. Recently upgraded from basic to plus. 

 

I wasn't happy for long with my home server setups prior to unraid. I tried a little of everything in that time, too. External drives attached to routers and media players (yuck), Windows (both desktop and server), various Linux flavors, and even a low power retail NAS after becoming convinced that DIY was my problem and only a turn-key solution would do. That retail NAS ended up being the shortest lived. It only took a few weeks using unraid to realize that I had finally found the one. It was my first hands on experience with Docker containers too, and it might not be an exaggeration to say that changed my life. It's a shame I didn't come across unraid sooner, considering. Could have saved some money and a lot of headache over the years.

I've been an unRAID user since December of 2011.  I had decided I needed a NAS and was looking into Synology and QNAP at the time.  When I decided I could probably build a more powerful NAS system myself for about the same money, unRAID became the instant front runner after a couple of weeks of research.

 

I run two servers myself (both of which have been through a few hardware upgrades) and have built three for friends and family.  Anyone who even hints they need a storage server, a media server, an application server or a good VM platform is going to hear all about unRAID from me.  I love its versatility and relative ease of use and maintenance.  The best thing about unRAID may well be this supportive and well-informed community!

 

Happy Birthday unRAID!

Woho! Thanks to the whole team that makes the best fileserver/media server OS out there. Here's to the next 14 years! 🍻

 

Happy 14th Anniversary. I've been using unRAID for eight years now.

I currently run three unRAID setups with Pro licenses. And I have a fourth pro license that I use in a box for preclearing.

Happy Birthday Unraid! 

I absolutely love my unraid server. Adding hard drives has never been so easy!

Happy birthday unraid!  6 years now and wow how much has changed.  So much more user friendly and has become the all in one system we could have only dreamt about. 

 

Keep up the great work...and shout out to awesome community that are so quick to provide insight and pass along their knowledge to help others. 

Love Unraid, been using it for a few years at home and has steadily grown from small extra computer parts to a full on overkill server build, love this software!

I followed the NAS KILLER 1.0 (2019) tutorial, installed UNRAID, and WOW.

 

Having less than remedial UNIX knowledge, UNRAID (as well as the forums...I lurk HARD) has made running this amazing server possible.  Using this strictly as a Plex server, I can't wait to get into VMs, Torrents, and VPNs. 

 

Thank you to everyone

built my first unraid this early year. I run plex, pihole, and smb sharing. About to build one for my dad. It's been flawless. Love it. keep up the good work.

Congrats to the team at Unraid, wishing you continued success for decades to come. You have an amazing product and the most helpful community of developers and users ive ever seen.  Thank you. 

 

My first introduction to unraid was just shy of 3 years ago. At the time i was using 3 physical systems to handle containers, vm's and storage.  When i heard that there was something out there with a UI to manage all my needs in one system i began to piece one together. It was 100% a Frankenstein'd system, but that was the beauty of Unraid. I could build the system and rebuild and change and upgrade at will, and thats what ive done over the years without fear of having to restore my data from backups. 

 

Keep up the amazing work!

UnRAID has been an absolute godsend to my exploration and learning to server building. I have recommended it to any friend of mine that has considered joining my passion (or addiction) to data hoarding. Fantastic community and amazing support. 

got the plus tier earlier this year and never looked back. i love that i can use the most hard drive space using unraid than any other competitors. definitely worth the price.

Moved away from Server 2012 R2 (and FlexRAID) to unRAID a few years ago. Overall, really happy with the move. Keep up the fantastic work guys!

I've had unRAID since the end of 2016.

 

My favorite aspect of it, is that in those 3 years, I've been running the same installation of it, without issue. I add new drives, no problem. Switch drives, no problem. I've changed my entire CPU / RAM / Motherboard 3 times, no problem.

 

That damn thing just runs, and runs, and runs. I've done so much testing, creating VM's, Dockers, modifying, etc... and it keeps chugging along, letting me get my homelab kicks in, for very little time investment.

Today I run my pfSense router on it, my HASS.io automation on it, and all my downloading, plex, etc. It just keeps running.

 

I'm an evangelist of unRAID too. I've gotten at least 3 friends to use it. And they didn't believe it could do some of the things I said it could, like being a server and a gaming PC at the same time.

 

I truly love my unRAID server. Thanks for it!

I absolutely love Unraid for its simplicity. You don't have to be an experienced Linux person to get up and running and create the media server you've always wanted. The forums are super helpful if you do run into trouble. I've never regretted going Unraid back in 2016 to replace my windows 8.1 storage spaces.

Happy Birthday UNRAID, enjoy using it every single day!
