Unraid Forum 100K Giveaway

Unraids virtualisation is second to none. Both for Docker and VMs.

Would like to see Unraid to Unraid replication

[glennv]

What i love most, wow that a hard one. I would say STABILITY. A server that you can rely on to be there every second of every day for years to come , hosting your valuable data, serving you with dockers and VM's galore and does it without beeing noticed.

Love it ....

 

Wishes: zfs suport for cache pool. Love the zfs plugin to death but would be great if i could use zfs intead of btrfs for the cache.

Ease of setup and minimal maintenance.

 

 Image that can be load to SD card. (img, ISO)

I'm still struggling with Unraid setup due to my hw issues.

The great overview of your server that the UI creates. 
 

A step by step guide that is launched in the UI the first time you log in. It can walk you through setting up the array and introduce the concepts such as parity cache etc.

[TRaSH]

I love the ability to add one drive of any size at a time in unraid to grow my array

What i really mis is a nice overview of the health of the drives.

 

[dakipro]

I like the ease of using docker and community apps.

 

I would like to see secure remote access to ui and perhaps data

 

Happy new year, keep up the great work!

[Bjorn1902]

I love how easy it is to ad storage down the line. And that it doesn't need to be the same capacity. 

 

For improvement I don't have any, other than a build in backup function to another unpaid system

[wit3k]

I like to using unraid becouse of one thing... I can use any of hdd with diffrent space at one share:) 

 

I would to see "one click button" to clone usb drive of unraid on live serwer with licens without any future step.

 

 

[Rustbucket]

I love the extensibility and flexibility, both from a hardware and software perspective.

 

I'd love to see better defaults from a security perspective.

[klipp01]

I love how easy it is to use and the support from the community. Have been using to store my media and recently started using Plex was very easy to setup.

Everytime I turn around new functionality is being added that I did not even think about but don't know how I could live without it now. Keep doing what your doing it works.

one thing you like most about Unraid

+ It is easy to use +

one thing you'd like to see added to the OS in 2020

+ A mobile app +

Unraid allowed me to take everything I was doing haphazardly across a few machines and seamlessly integrate it all into a single box, with a method of expansion and support not available elsewhere. I don't see myself using anything else for my home server setup, and have plans for future upgrades and even new Unraid boxes in the future.

 

One thing I think we're missing is a proper file management solution within the UI. I currently have to utilize at least three 3rd party solutions to quickly move files around within the environment, while handling permissions. This is, in my opinion, something that should be a solid user friendly part of the Unraid experience, but currently isn't.

[Aviv]

I love the ability to mix different kind/sizes of hard drives.

 

Would love to see vm snapshots + vm backup option.

:-)

[emmcee]

I love the fact that I have lost a few drives over the years, but I haven’t lost any data. 
 

I’d love if fan control was Automatic and supported multiple fans. 

[JaY_III]

Love: Docker Engine and KVM

Would love to see: TRIM support on the array

[randomninjaatk]

I love the versatility unraid can be used for, ie: VM host, bulk storage, docker host, etc.

 

One thing I would like to see in the future is an easy way to have remote data replication between 2 unraid hosts for remote site backup. I know this is possibly with the right knowledge and tools configuration, but I think it should be simplified so that anyone can set it up. I'm fairly technical and still have not set it up because of that reasoning.

 

Other things I would love to see:

1. Wifi support (With this, I could in theory make all desktop computers unraid hosts and use VM's for normal desktop usage, which would increase flexibility)

2. Easier VFIO setup. I'm still attempting to get my first attempt working, but the fact that you have to edit the xml to pass a gpu correctly should not be a requirement if possible. It should know when passing both the gpu and gpu sound card together to set the correct settings.

3. Nextcloud support to enable replacement of cloud based contacts/calendar/storage solutions. I know this can be done via docker, but some of them could be considered not friendly to setup for new users. With the feature for remote replication,  and this, I would feel comfortable replacing online services with this solution. Right now I haven't done so because of the lack of easy remote replication for data safety reasons.

 

Anyways, thanks for everything! Excited to see where unraid goes in the future!

I love Docker.
For next year I would like to see VM improvements.

[discojon]

Like:

 

Ability to use old Server Grade Equipment easily in a home environment.  I am not a expert by any means but I have build a fairly inexpensive yet capable server.

 

Wish:

 

I'd like to have a way to organize my docker containers into categories / sections.  I'd also like to have the ability to collapse or expand each section with a hierarchical menu somewhere also.

[Gragorg]

I love that Unraid is so easily scalable.  That is the primary reason I chose it in the first place.  However I can't imagine going back to pre docker support. So docker support being a close second.

 

I would like to see an built in offsite back into Unraid.

[buxton]

The stability and the community are my favorite things. Multiple arrays in the same box and ssd support would be the things I would like to see added first.

[rp1226]

I love how easy it is to manage Docker containers and VMs from the web UI. Coming from proxmox, this is great!

 

I would love to see web hook notification platform for better integration to odd notifiers.

[none_really]

I love the ease-of-use of the whole system. Monitoring and configuration is stupid-easy.

 

I would love to have more flexible cache options, where the cache move only moves file until a "low" threshold is met.

[Ashtree]

I love the fact you can add drive any time and how easier is was to install then Freenas

 

Would love to see a fan control if possible, being able to control my servers fan speeds from unraid would be great

 

Currently running a Dell PowerEdge R515, 8 Core 32gb ram

[crenn]

The ability to add 'random' drives to the array at any time is the killer feature. Currently working on moving all my data to my new UnRaid install.

 

More detailed process viewer (see a more 'live' version of what's using up the CPU) and native ZFS support (even though I'm not using it... for now)

 

I'll probably think of things later down the track, but those are the only ones which come to mind. So far I'm enjoying my experience with UnRaid!
