I have an Unraid Server and I’m trying to set one up for a friend.  Is it possible for me to copy the settings from my Unraid box to a new box that’s going to have a different license?

 

Essentially, I would like to use my set up in settings as a starting point for his?

In principle yes, but there are some points you should note:

• make sure you remove your licence key file from his copy of the USB stick or you will get your licence blacklisted when he gets his licence.
• the disk assignments will need to be completely redone as obviously his disk will have different serial numbers.    This can be done via Tools >> New Config.
• If you are running VMs with hardware pass through then their configuration will not be valid on different hardware

there may be some other points I have missed but you get the gist.

 

having said all that since configuring Unraid can be done very quickly why bother?   You could start on his system with a brand new setup and apply configuration changes using yours as a reference.
