tchmnkyz Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I have to say i am a fan of everything about unraid, from the ease of use to the simplicity of the setup. Everything works cleanly out of the box. Network setup worked out of the box with no major changes. This includes the complicated setup i have with 4 x 1g bonded and 4 x 10g bonded. In my case it was much easier then setting up other products. One thing i would like to see in 2020 is a simpler method of setting up AD integration. I also think the interface could use a little more polish (think some of the more commercial offerings like synology and other platforms) Another thing i would like to see eventually is better handling of the cached data in the cache pool.

Scotsman79 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I love Unraid’s superb flexibility even only with GUI tools. Docker, VMs, and awesome NAS software with the stability of Linux. But without extensive need for the CLI. In 2020 I’d like to see an integrated GUI backup tool for both local and remote backups. Quote Link to comment
Yanos! Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I love how much docker apps are available and not resources intensive they are. In 2020, I would like to see SSD array support and multiple array. Quote Link to comment
Ectropian Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I’ve tried many different options to keep m y personal data save and even lost data because I didn’t know how to fix problems that came up. I was about to build a ProxMox system and install Freenas with Zfs when I heard about Unraid. Even though I knew very little about how a raid works, It didn’t matter, because Unraid was so easy to setup and start learning. I love how I can re-purpose old drives of different sizes and only have to worry about the parity being valid. The rest just works. Unraid saved my sanity and now I can get on with organizing my life. Thanks to all who develop for it. In 2020 I'd like to see (if it’s not an obscene idea) better security for outside network access. I’m proud of my Unraid no matter how little it is and I’d love to monitor/manage it when I’m away from home... "My Precioussss" Quote Link to comment
Pjhal Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 (edited) What I like most, about Unraid is the community. I would love to see a built in file browser. Edited December 28, 2019 by Pjhal Quote Link to comment
supersaw Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Love how many different services I can run on a single box. In 2020 I would love to see a mobile responsive web UI for easier administration from my phone. Happy to lend a helping hand to make that happen. 2 Quote Link to comment
ghabhaducha Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I love the community support. So far the questions that have come to mind have either been asked or answered. I would love to see CPU temps directly in the dashboard. Quote Link to comment
Fordx4 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I like it's easy enough to jump into and build network storage so quickly without any prior knowledge of these types of setups. For 2020 Id like to see multiple arrays. Quote Link to comment
PR. Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Once I got unRAID to run stable the best thing about it is how easy it is to maintain and manage compared to my old Windows Server. The one thing I’d like to see in unRAID in 2020 is snapshots for VMs, and maybe even shares? Thanks! Quote Link to comment
neruve Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 (edited) Oh where to start. I’ve only been using unRaid for about two weeks. I love how easy it is to get up and running. It’s very impressive. I have very minimal Linux experience, no docker experience and I was able to to replace everything my windows server was doing and then some with ease. I love how easy it is to add storage that is still protected. I also appreciate that LimeTech doesn’t feel the need to do everything themselves. There are containers that do things very VERY well and there is no reason for LimeTech to spend time and maintenance to implement things that are already handled (and that won’t apply to most users). As far as new features. Multiple SSD supported pools would be nice as others have mentioned although I haven’t personally felt the need to have them I can see where they would be preferred. I mostly just want them to focus on core functionality that applies to every user, not just things that some users want. Actually, back to one of the best things about unRaid as mentioned above (they don’t feel the need to implement everything and maintain it) it would be kinda cool for like, unRaid approved/recommended containers. They could work with the developers. Like binhex, linuxserver etc and maybe work things out to ensure updates , support etc. then they can be aware of developer a getting out of the game and can find developer b to take over with the same or another solution. I hope that makes sense. It makes sense to me haha. On another note. Shout out to the community for being so awesome!!! EDIT: I actually would really like to see shadow copies. Like I want share x to be on all my drives. But I’d also like to see it locked down a bit. Like. A size limit in relation to a percentage of the smallest drive etc. (as it should really only be used for important things) it would also be cool of you could sync that share with cloud storage as well) Edited December 28, 2019 by neruve Quote Link to comment
Bentunit Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I love the ease of use and reliability. I would like better support for Nvidia drivers. Quote Link to comment
Tritech Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 (edited) It's been great over the last year using Unraid, from spinning up linux vms in seconds, hosting game servers for friends, hosting my family home movies and picture,to backing up all the pcs on my network. The single feature I've wanted was a way to "snapshot" vm xmls. When customizing xmls for my threadripper build it took MANY iterations to get it right from switch numa nodes, pinning cores, and many custom edits. Every time an edit was made and I need to change the form view, all of these were reverted. It would be nice to be able to take a snapshot of a known working xml, maybe even have a dropdown menu of several saved templates. This would save so much time when making custom edits, and save a lot of unorganized copy-pasting to text files on my PC. Edited December 28, 2019 by Tritech Quote Link to comment
Grazzhoppa Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Favorite thing: has made it easy to DIY my server (mostly thanks to the awesome community) What I hope to see: UI improvements and responsiveness (for mobile) 1 Quote Link to comment
GoChris Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I love dockers, and I've love to see unraid -> unraid backup/sync. Quote Link to comment
craigmontHunter Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I love that I can add drives addhoc to expand my space as required, and that I can upgrade my license as required, it makes managing my data much easier, and I don't need to go through long rebuilds to expand a parity array. What I would like to see is a simple way to set a static ip for dockers on the bridge network. I like the idea of having dockers have a way to directly communicate with each other, however the addresses change sporadically and I loose the connection until the next time I manually check, which is not always often.

goodGame Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I like how you can get so many advanced features going so easy and easy to maintain. Meanwhile, if you want to get your hands dirty, there's no stopping if you want to do it your way and get your hands dirty (allmost). I'd like VM snapshots for 2020! Quote Link to comment
alien Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I like unraid because I can use my old computers as NAS so I don't have to spent money on NAS's anymore, I would like to see better VM management in the future so I can centralize everything, thanks unraid team Quote Link to comment
Xgamer911 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 (edited) One thing i like: The ability to add new features using docker and plugins. One thing i would like to see added: On the webUI, be able to browse community docker/plugins directly from a database. The ability to filter these would also be useful in finding functionality I hadn't known about. EDIT: I am new to UnRaid(still in 30day trial), so I just found the community apps and associated plugins with search. So I would change the item I wanted added would be to create VM snapshots. (until I find that later on during my playing with this.) Edited December 29, 2019 by Xgamer911 Quote Link to comment
eastliu Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I like the unique file system, it is very usefull when I have multiple disks. I want unraid will add chinese language as soon as possible, there is very huge amount of people here like unraid now thanks and best wishes! Quote Link to comment
Tvguru Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I love how easy Unraid is to use and the ability to add drives as I need. If you simply continue to refine the system, I’m a happy camper. Thanks for all the team does! Quote Link to comment
simonheros Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I love Unraid's plugin support that allows for maximum ease of use and customization- making the community's offerings a Steam Workshop of-sorts for the operating system. I would love to see more than 30 storage devices and more than 24 cache drives outside of the unassigned devices plugin. Quote Link to comment
mattp Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I like the ease of use especially with adding new drives I'd like to see improved docker organization(grouping, categorize by type into folders) Quote Link to comment
Koshy Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Just one thing, this is going to be hard, if I can only say one thing it would be the ability to add any hard drive whenever I want more storage. Feature request for 2020; Nvidia Driver support on unraid. Quote If unraid adds driver support for graphics cards, then that would mean that I wouldn't have to run a VM 24x7 for no reason. Currently I have to run a VM 24x7 just to get my graphics cards to enter low power mode. I only have need for a VM a couple dozen hours a month. I hope LimeTech does add Graphics driver support soon.

nas_nerd Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 My fav is the community support and developers. For 2020? I think an internal file browser would be very helpful. Cheers Quote Link to comment
rickyli99 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I like that unraid works on everything I've stuck it on, from the latest ryzen based systems to old a.f. core 2 duo systems from mid 2000s. I would like to see snmp built into the system and not as an add on that i have to reconfigure/reinstall every few months. Quote Link to comment
