Then open in your browser on another PC and boom, you're up and runningįirst off you have to select how you setup your disks. Just put that in your unRAID machine and power on. Just download the installer, point it at your USB Flash drive and a few minutes later you have a fully working unRAID install. It runs off a USB Flash drive leaving your SSDs/HDDs for storage. Ultimately it came down to a couple of Tech tubers I follow (Battle(non)sense etc), talking about how unRAID had successfully met their home server needs. I had looked around at several options like using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Proxmox, FreeNas. Easily expandable Parity protect storage Array - to replace Windows Storage Spaces.VM Host - Needed a Windows 10 VM for some applications and wanted a testing ground for different Linux distributions.Docker - Wanted to isolate applications so updates didn't break other software I was running.Both were getting too slow and needed replacing.Īfter upgrading my Desktop in the summer I now had an bunch of spare parts. Plus an old Intel dual core system running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS for Pi-hole, Plex, TVHeadend and ZFS. A HP Microserver running Windows 10 for Storage Spaces + some simple Windows applications. For years now I've been running 2 PCs at home on 24/7 server duties.
