Happy New Year.

 

I love how fast and easy I installed Unraid and how easy it´s to configurate for my needs. I am a noob and no IT-Expert! Using Unraid daily is easy for me too. This forum helps me.

 

I like to have a plugin/tool/setting for easy USB-Updates from my data shares onto an extern Stick or HDD. It would be fine if the (e.g. rsync-)Update starts autumatically when USB-Stick/HDD is plugged in.

 

 

The flexibility given by the wide variety of plug-ins and apps to greatly extend the function and features of a "file server" is what's bringing me back to Unraid after trying other storage solutions.

 

More granular encryption options; file/folder/share encryption decrypted on network user authentication instead of whole drive w/passphrase on boot.

I absolutely love Unraid. I love how easy it is to use, and also, migrate servers. 
 

On Christmas morning I woke up to my storage server being completely dead (motherboard failure) and had a lot of family frantically wanting to watch Christmas movies. Luckily for me, as I was using unraid, all I needed to do was move the hard drives from my dead server to my new server, unplug the USB, plug the USB into the new server and start it. I was then able to recreate my media server and it was away. Total resolution time was about 15 minutes after I started the work. 
 

I would absolutely love for iSCSI to be made available natively (without the use of VM’s)

I love that it supported all my hardware out of the box, especially my 10G network card.

 

I would like to see alternative update servers for customers with connection problems to AWS (especially customers of the German ISP Deutsche Telekom).

I love the UI control

I would love to see the correct cache size
 

I really enjoy how simple and easy it is to setup my docker containers.

 

I would love to see a cron job setup in the web GUI. 

 

Thank you, 

I love the fact that it's simple to use & rock solid. Been using unraid now for close to 10 years & never had a real problem!

 

I would like to see unraid's security improved so I can feel more comfortable putting it online.

I love the easiness of use. I have the knowledge to run other solutions, but I don't need to spend my limited time configuring bits when I would better be on the couch without worrying about my data safety.

 

I'd like to see an easy implementation of iSCSI compatibility!

 

Regards.

1) Ease of getting your new NAS up and running while you plan to have it do more then just be a NAS!

 

2) iSCSI

Best thing is that i have been able to consolidate, 3 machines (or 4 really) into 1. Hyper-V server, NAS and HTPC. (And also running a virtual router now.)

 

I would like to see snapshots in 2020, so that i can backup my VMs on the fly.

 

Also, would be nice to replace the "Lime Tech" Sticker on the server, with a new UNRAID.

Thanks

One thing I like:

 

Simple as you want, as complex as you need - It can be very simple, but you can dig down and get into the guts as needed.

 

One thing I would like to see:

 

HA, a clustering for VMs etc.

 

 

Keep on keeping on.

My favorite part of UnRaid is the community.  Built on a community, this product is so easy to get help with and customize in a way I see fit.  The community is what makes the dream work.

 

I would like to see multiple cache pools for further customization.

Have to agree with the majority of responses, that the community has been one of the greatest assets. 

 

Hm... DEFCON, COMICON, with enough of a user base how about UnRAID'CON?  Vegas anyone?

 

Oh. My vote also is for multi cache pools as well.

OS addon

What I absolutely love with unRaid is the ability to mix and match drives very easily making it very easy to upgrade

 

I would love to see down the line would be multiple arrays on a single system.

 

On a side note, congratulations to the outstanding unraid community that excels in providing help and developing new features!

The things I like about unraid is how it can replace expensive devices like QNAP with more power !!! 

 

One thing I want to see is better error handling for dockers.  This has happened to me more than once.

If you have say 10 dockers running and you mess one up it takes the entire system out. Orphans all dockers and you have to restore everything!!!! Royal PITA !!!!!

I like unraid because it's powerful and extremely useful.  

 

I'd like to see snapshots and multiple arrays.

By far the most simple NAS solutions to deploy, with the added bonus of mixing disk size and no requirement of ECC ram.

 

Would love to see built in backup features (plug in external drive and copy shares a d or folders in shares to it). Can do via cli but woul be nice via Gui.

Well done team!

Hi there folks

 

Have to say that I like the fact that even though there are other free alternatives out there, that the cost and feature set of unRAID still make it sit head and shoulders above the competition in my eyes.

 

As for what features, I have to +1 to the having some form of file manipulation within the browser. Not neccessarily editing the files themselves, but the ability to move copy and delete would mean a good deal for clearing out/restructuring "dump and sort" folders on the network. This could be restricted to certain users to avoid it being a free for all.

 

Thanks for doing this and listening to the userbase ! too many software vendors get to a stage where they stop listening. Don't change, and keep checking in on what people actually want as future features.

 

Regards.

I love how easy it has been to transition all my old drives into one new array, that I can check from any browser in the house.  The interface is user friendly, as is the community support.  This first build has been very educational.

 

I would love to see something like the Disk Location or Server Layout that could automatically populate the layout from backplanes from manufactures such as SuperMicro.

One thing you like most about Unraid: Simple(ish) Versatility

 

One thing you'd like to see added to the OS in 2020: Ability to boot from partition on M.2/NVME cache drive.

Best All-in-One Solution for me. I am Gaming on my NAS, or NASing on my Gaming PC. For me it is a On-demand-System.

 

I would love a build in Backup Solution. A one click solution to backup all settings and data so it can be restored from that backup. Did a backup once a month for my old Synology NAS and took it to work to keep it safe from any hazards. (I know maybe not so interesting for the >20 TB Systems)

I‘m a user from china 。I Love the ease of use, the UI gets even better with every release, making it so easy to use.

 

One thing I would like to see added is a sync feature so I can setup another server to sync my data/configs to.

Second，please increase support for Chinese！！！

 

Love the fact I can run vms relatively easy, would like to see added an easy way to keep array drives spun up during the day when needed but sleep them st night. 

I love the variety of tasks Unraid can accomplish. It really is a do it all kind of software!

 

 

I would love to see more youtube tutorial videos for odd things like MineOS or Rust servers. I've dug around a bit there isn't much documentation for new users regarding that sort of info. It's possible I just didn't look in the right place though! I'm about halfway through my trial currently and so far liking it, a bit complex, but with enough googling anything is possible.

What i like:

i love the stability of Unraid and the ease to set it up.

 

What could be added:

- intergrate CA into unraid itself so it isnt community depent anymore

- an step by step tutorial which explains every aspect of Unraid (which you can opt out from)

 

Thanks!
