soralike Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 i like unraid 's vm app, it is easy to Passthrough my GPU into the VM.and its app system is work good too, i'd like to see unraid add Chinese translation in 2020.😁 Quote Link to comment
un4given Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Its hard to choose one thing i love about Unraid - my favorite is the ability of the system to utilize the whole power of bare metal and different setup possibilities I am looking forward a built in/integrated easy to use backup solution like duplicati or rclone Quote Link to comment
DasNekuum Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I like Unraid because of its simplicity. The Price-performance ratio is at its best. I'd like to see in 2020 a Backup Solution between two or more Unraid Setups. A big thanks to the Unraid Team and greetings from Germany. 1 Quote Link to comment
HioZneko Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Love the simple & flexibility & reliability of unraid. worth the purchase. Coming from FreeNas user hope for vision 2020, backup of unraid server local or cloud. Keep up the Great work y'all Quote Link to comment
Saqqara Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I like how it just works, with all other server systems I've used I would have to reboot when things stopped but with unraid I just set it up and forget about it. Something to add, the one thing I always seem to struggle with VMs I don't know if that can be improved. Quote Link to comment
mau471 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I love the overall simple to use interface One (well two) things I would to see added is the ability for VMs to preserve XML edits if you go back into gui mode and a gui way to clone all or parts of an array to another unraid machine.

andrewd Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Best part: Things work without me having to fiddle with them. Something to add: kubernetes interface for managing all my docker containers Quote Link to comment
JackOfAllTech Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 The thing I like most about Unraid is the ability to build your own Storage and Compute appliance to a level that meets your requirements. Coming from a Synology, I'd love to see a way to connect to my NAS without a VPN or Port forwarding like Quickconnect. More applications from the community similar in functionality to the built in apps. (DS Photo, DS File, Drive/Cloud, DS Audio DS Cam, etc) though I do realize some of this functionality probably does exist with some Dockers (I'm still discovering!) Quote Link to comment
mangocrysis Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I love how easy it is to get started and how versatile it is as a homelab server I would like to see native iSCSI support as I would like to move and use my game library from the server via 10gbe. Quote Link to comment
O_M_R Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I love being able to add one drive at a time, and dockers! Integrated GPU support would be nice. Quote Link to comment
Halman3985 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I love UnRaid because it allows me to use all my hard drives past and present which allows my system to grow as time goes on. Going from an internal RAID and the Drobo which really worked for me for a few years but I was headed for a far more costly growth cycle. What I would like to see for 2020 is better integration of the GPU. Quote Link to comment
Demonos Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I've been using Unraid for years and early on, I did a lot of searching for command and limitations to get it to work back in the version 3-4 days. That seems to be gone now. What I like the most? Unraid is one of the most flawless OS I've ever had the pleasure of using. Adding drives, replacing drives, adding docker instances, getting the information I need out of it, it just works. The same server has sat in various closets over the years, the OS has updated, but it ultimately hasn't had to change. I no longer have to search around trying to get this and that to work. Its just worked. It came time to expand my drives over black Friday and I overthought the entire process. Trying to copy files from one drive to another drive. Turned out none of that was necessary. You just remove one drive, put in the other, and like magic Unraid rebuilds the data from a single parity drive. Forget how easy and hassle free that statement is. The amount of safety and peace-of-mind I now have about the whole server is immense. I always thought it's RAID function sounded like magic, but once you see that magic actually work, you become a believer. I fully believe my data is safe and now I cant shut up about it to my coworkers. What would I like to see in the next year? Maybe for some of the third party stuff to become first party. There's a lot of little things out there, probably more than I'm aware of, that you can add to Unraid's list of plugins that add functionality and customization that maybe should be there already by default. I understand having an OS install be as bare as possible. There's a lot of Dynamix, Unassigned Devices, and CA plugins that I've added that feel like they just add some of the customization and visibility that should already be there. Unraid is slowly becoming less of an "Advanced" OS and more of an "Anyone can use" OS. Version 6 has made huge strides towards ease of use. You still have to be a little "in the know" to install a few of these to add things the server needs. I trust Unraid so much now, but I still feel like I have a lot of plugins made by the community, which has the potential of being hit or miss. Thanks Unraid for making me feel like my license purchase all those years ago was perfectly validated and never wasted. Quote Link to comment
bisk Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 What I love about unRAID is how easy it is to use. I moved from a Windows Home Server machine to unRAID and never looked back! One thing I'd love to see added this year is the ability to access the GUI when I'm not at home. Quote Link to comment

Sash Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I have unraid basic license. Like : Easy swap harddrive and storage expansion. Easy webgui, Linux base and can run on allmost any hardware. Future request: Get focus on small fish, I think many home users will buy basic licsense if unraid use storage size limitation instead of drive limitation. 😊 Quote Link to comment
Soulflyzz Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I love the low hardware requirements, so i have a use for re-tasking old hardware. Since i am new to unraid 26 Days in, i want more instructional information on how to implement Dockers without the use of CA Quote Link to comment
dknourek Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Im a very new user of UnRaid and have only been using it for the last week or so but I genuinely love it! I don't know enough about it so far but unless Im wrong which is a good chance I would like to see a way to easily transfer files off of hard drives via SATA or USB3 directly to a new Array. Currently Im transferring over gigabit and its going slooooow lol. Keep up the great job UnRaid team and I look forward to being a long term customer Quote Link to comment
local.bin Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Love the native docker support, its so easy to spin up a docker and test some new open source software. 3 licenses and counting and pondering the need for a 4th server 😃 2 of these only have 3 2.5in hard drives, so would love native ssd support for the protected storage, for fast docker servers for web services hosting type of tasks.

ross232 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) I'm loving the all in one capability unRAID gives me - it's my gaming VM, my NAS and it runs all of the docker contains I need for local servers! I would love it if there is a way of being able to VNC into a GPU pass through enabled VM. This would be really handy when something goes wrong with pass through and you want to check without needing to boot the VM up specifically in VNC mode.

Good luck. https://unraid.net/blog/unraid-forum-100k-giveaway I've found Unraid about 6th months ago and enjoying every minute of it over VMware. VMware support for passthrough devices are 50/50 and a lot of the time is doesn't work. Since I can passthrough all devices through in Unraid I have been able on one system to run four gaming system on it and on another make big nas server and running video and storing much data. The only thing that could be added is better driver compatibility with network card like 10Gigibits. Quote Link to comment
bonzovt Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 i love that i can run my storage array, home workstation and many apps all on the same machine but decoupled from each other! would be cool to see some better integrated backup options, especially for VMs. Quote Link to comment
Lilrex Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 What i like about unraid, it is NOT a monthly subscription. What I want, nothing really, but I'm a really basic user. Quote Link to comment
somekindahate Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I love that Unraid has simplified my home server management by turning it into an appliance. I’d like to see integrated snapshots and backups for VM management in a future release. Quote Link to comment
snazz Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 The feature I like most is how easy it is to recover from a drive failure. I've seen my fair share of failed drives, so I opted for dual parity as soon as it was added. I'd like to see native support for Nvidia GPU's in Docker added in 2020. I use hardware transcoding with my Plex docker to keep my server's ageing CPU less busy. Quote Link to comment
MrBool Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Love the way docker work. I would like to see backup built in, and then also incremental backup. Quote Link to comment
