Prickle28 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 This may be already implemented and i haven't found it but it would be nice to be able to assign VLAN access on a share with Write permissions. ie: Make a media share accessible on VLAN 10 so clients on that VLAN can get Read only access it or a shared storage folder that has RW access but nothing else on the server Quote Link to comment
Fffrank Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I'd love some kind of swarm management. I haven't experimented with any other systems but I can picture a world where Unraid deploys docker containers to nodes based on what their CPU utilization is and intelligently manages/balances them. I'd love to mothball my big server, fire up Unraid on a low-power device with a big stack of drives and have it spool up and down nodes as docker containers require them. Quote Link to comment
danioj Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 As someone who uses VLANS in my setup I’d love the ability to choose which interface the management access features of unRAID (e.g. GUI / SSH etc is bound to). Select either / All etc. I’d like to have unRAID deployed to my management VLAN along with my other network gear and my main VLAN where all my file access occurs. I can do this of course but I’d like to be able to prevent clients on the main VLAN from accessing the GUI and SSH etc (not possible of course via FW rules as the traffic on that VLAN doesn’t go back to the router to trigger a block rule) and just have file sharing enabled. Right now I can deploy unRAID to X VLANS and on each IP (required to be assigned for file sharing) the GUI / SSH is accessible. Quote Link to comment
gacpac Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Some degree to using a better tool than virt-manager. Some improvements to assign more things from the GUI would be nice. Quote Link to comment

HH0718 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Yes... soon TM. I have seen that many times but not roadmaps or posts about it which leads me to believe it’s not priority. Believe me me when I say I don’t mean to come off the wrong way.I’m just perplexed it’s taken so long to start implementing an API for unraid. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment

Because LT has a small team and other features are way higher on the priority list.

Unraid Newbie Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 My Top 3. 1) AMD Nested Virtualization 2) Wifi Support Wifi is so fast now.. much faster than gb lan 3) VM Snapshot Quote Link to comment

Remember Wifi is a shared medium more collisions, wire connections with switches have 1 collision domain. i thought wifi is 2 times faster quote from a mid range wifi6 router web site: Ultra-fast Wi-Fi Speed – RT-AX3000 supports 160MHz bandwidth and 1024-QAM for dramatically faster wireless connections. With a total networking speed of about 3000Mbps — 574 Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and 2402 Mbps on the 5GHz band. 10gb for the whole netowork is just too damn expensive right now. Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 It is not at unusual to only get something like 30% (or less) of the headline quoted speed in throughput terms when using WiFi 1 Quote Link to comment
Unraid Newbie Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Totally agree. wireless is not the perfect solution for a server. but imho, wifi should generate tons of sales for unraid, More Sales=More Profit=Happy Developers=Better Unraid imagine having an old rig sitting in the corner as media server or a fanless laptop sitting under the sofa as a docker station, performace wise, still beats top of the line consumer NAS (J series intel) and i am pretty sure a lot of everyday user are using wifi not a wired connection even at home because it is not as easy as people might think having a wired pc at home with angry wife, active kids, etc. take me for example, my full size tower is currently sitting on the windowsill and my 34inch curved monitor is on a Ikea Manmut (plastic kids table) and my pc case is huge... with wifi i can move my unraid server somewhere more humane PS. My Number 1 request is still AMD Nested Virtualization, not be able to run vm workstation in windows, or android emulator like nox and bluestack really sucks. Quote Link to comment
BRiT Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Why? Is your server portable? Are you moving it around your house? Quote Link to comment
Ellis34771 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Just get a router in "repeater" mode. Plug your ethernet from your UNRAID server into the router. Now your server is wireless. ... and yes, it's slow as snot. 1 Quote Link to comment

Lol Then you should know, not all repeaters are created equal. If the backhaul has a dedicated isolated channel, repeaters can be just as fast as wireless in general. Which still isn't fast or reliable enough for a server, but still usable. 1 Quote Link to comment

A good mesh network with commercial grade repeaters can cover multiple isolated line circuits with acceptable speed. Cheaper than burying fiber. All I'm saying is, don't tar all repeaters with the same brush, they have their places. Quote Link to comment

BRiT Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Another alternative is using MOCA Adapters, bonded 2.5 preferably, if you have coax runs in your building. They work exceptionally well. 1 Quote Link to comment
