Hi guys,

 

New user here.

I had Xpenology running on a cheap X58 MB for a while. It ran ok but still not what i was looking for. 

Recently i bought a 2U 8-bay 19" rack and a Supermicro X8DT-6F MB with 2 processors. In the mean time i came across Unraid and realized that this was what i was looking for.

Unraid is now running for a few days and i'm still busy setting it up. Things like plugins, spin dow or hibernation when not in use, docker apps.

 

i plan to use JRiver, NZBGet, Sonarr, Radarr, Spotweb, Calibre library, Home Assistant so still plenty to do. The're plenty of apps in the app store so i'll go through them to see what's what.

 

I'm sure i'll be asking some questions on the forum.

 

Thanks.

Welcome! 

Hi guys,

 

First of all a big thank you to all contributors on the forum and especially to @SpaceInvaderOne for his awesome videos. I just love my Unraid server called "Jarvis" and plan is to use it as a home assistant. I see that there's something online but not sure how to get it running on Unraid.

 

I recently swapped out my processors for X5675's and have now pfSense with AES-NI encryption running smoothly as Unraid VM, thanks to SIO's videos.

Currently i'm busy replacing and rerouting the LAN cables through the house. Next step is every device that has a fixed position in the house to have a wired network connection and fixed IP. 

The two mediaplayers we have will get their own LAN.

 

Thanks again guys.
