I'm running a bunch of SMB shares with permissions (accessed from Win7, 10 and Linux), NextCloud, Plex, Transmission, Headphones, Sonarr, Radarr, and a VPN connection, all without a hitch. Getting that printer to work took maybe 3 minutes (I nearly cried).
#Unraid setup sonarr full
Less customizable for sure, but the full setup was ludicrously easy compared to FreeNAS, like a few hours instead of multiple days of tinkering and digging through forum guides. Lots of people really like FreeNAS, so don't let me dissuade you, but definitely do your research beforehand.įWIW I'm running Xpenology on my NAS right now and couldn't be happier with it. Maybe the user experience improved vastly over the last few versions, I don't know. It seems like a really powerful and versatile OS, but aimed at a more enthusiast NAS user than I intended to be. Once I got it up and running things were mostly fine (bar the Plex problem), and I really liked the FreeBSD jails system behind the scenes making it easy to experiment with plugins yourself without risk of breaking everything. Getting an old-ish Lexmark to act properly as a network printer was also a major PITA, took me months. The web interface was a buggy mess and sometimes extremely slow (delays of minutes just to show the list of installed plugins) so you better use ssh 80% of the time, and Plex streams in particular would often break down, something I was never able to solve (though that might've also been caused by the ancient router it was connected to at the time). Setting up everything I wanted turned out to be a lot of work. YMMV but I've personally not had such a great experience with FreeNAS.
I have some reading to do, but I am a bit lost and don't know where to start. Is something like a TP-Link TL-SG1008D Gigabit Unmanaged Desktop Switch suitable? Would I connect it Virgin HUB (in modem mode) -> wireless router -> switch? I can attach the wireless ariel to my desktop or pick up a cheap gigabit switch or figure something out between my Virgin hub and wireless router.
#Unraid setup sonarr free
I've just noticed that my TP-Link TL-WDR7300 AC2100 doesn't have any free ports. I have 3x 3TB DT01ACA300 in my main rig, I will move at least 2 of these over after everything is set up so that I can move everything else into an mITX case. I've been doing some light reading but I don't really understand very much from comparisons I see as they are beyond my knowledge. I know I have a few options with FreeNAS, unRAID and OpenMediaVault. I have an unused SanDisk Ultra Fit 32GB I can use or pick up a cheap SSD from the marketplace. (Eventually) back up OS drive on desktop and Macbook with revisioning.supports Sonarr, transmission/rtorrent and PLEX.Eventually, when I have the storage it would be good to schedule back-up my desktop and the Macbook with revisioning. I've tried sharing a folder over win10 but it would require a restart every time it went into sleep mode. She is researching french new wave and is currently using an external drive that disconnects if you touch it. The most important this is that files are easy to access from my wife's Macbook Pro. I will eventually pick up a fire stick so it needs to support PLEX or similar. I want to run Sonarr with either transmission/rturrent with a massive bank of torrents. I want to be able to add drives as I can afford to them and would prefer them to appear as a single volume. I don't need any redundency as important data will be backed up to an external. I want to run a headless server that is upgradable a requires minimal maintenance.
