(Learnt this in the last couple of years) Build a custom android rom from source... not done! Reverse engineer an android bootloader... not done Reverse proxy a docker... Learnt this in the last couple of years Morale of this, if I can do it, anyone can!

Tapatalk should be fixed now as I am posting this using it on my phone. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

Quick answers to your questions. You can definitely configure unRaid to saturate your gigabit lan. Either with a cache disk, or using turbo write. Most of the functions you want are available in Dockers, which are very easy to install and use. @Squid's excellent community applications plugin should be one of the first things installed. Can't speak to comparisons with other products. Do your homework and make your choices. Most people here are pretty happy with unRaid, and we do have a friendly community. @Lev's split personality response above is not altogether typical But unRaid isn't always push a button and its done. It is largely dependent on other products and their feature sets for things like backups. And your ingenuity in getting them configured and integrated. OOTB function is easy, but your know-how, trial and error, write-ups/videos from other users, and pointers from the community will very likely get you to workable solutions. If you decide to move to unRaid, I'd initially focus on establishing the parity protected array, and getting your existing features replicated in unRaid. Optimally you would set up a second / temporary server to experiment and get things working, and then plan a conversion from FreeNas. It doesn't have to be very powerful. But all unRaid needs is a USB stick to boot, so you could probably boot unRaid on your current server and experiment, and then boot back into Freenss, until the transformation is complete. Just make sure not to reuse assets, like your current drives, for unRaid! Good luck!

There is no correct value. Just set it to whatever works. Try to double it to start.

Mount the drives using the Unassigned Devices plugin.

You'd lose bet, completely different disks, just some obvious differences ST8000DM004 / ST8000VN0002: Maximum sustained data transfer rate - 190MB/s / 230MB/s Number of disks/heads - 4/8 - 6/12 Idle power - 3.4w / 7.6w

What I would do is use the Appdata backup plugin to make a backup of your appdata onto the new server's cache drive (mount it with unassigned devices). This will maintain all the symlinks, etc that Plex uses extensively that won't get copied correctly if you simply copy over a network or cut / paste via Windows.

Mainly an update to bullet proof CA (at least the important parts ) Fixed: If multiple browser tabs opened to apps tab, detect if app database is out of sync between windows and update tab accordingly. Fixed: Prevent possibility of duplicate app appearing in app of the day. Enhanced: Previously, app of the day would return errors if unRaid CSS and window width support horizontal resolution greater than 5700 pixels. Changed: Clicking Repository from popup will now search for applications contained within the repository Added: App info popup now has link to go directly to docker hub page for application Changed: Allow moderation to whitelist an application without appfeed update

To do a manual upgrade, download the zip file from Limetech's site and copy the files bzimage and bzroot to your USB drive (overwriting the existing ones). Next reboot the system.
