tyanu Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Hi, As i said in the title, i'm new here. Also, excuse me for mistakes, as english is not my native language. I am here because i like the versatility of Unraid and i want to build my own Unraid multi-purpose setup. I have a lot of different questions, so i hope i wont be annoying to much. I discovered Unraid with Linus's videos about multi users gaming towers and after a while i thought about i could use it for me. I am planning to make a single machine do all the following things : NAS, personnal cloud, media center, and maybe a firewall or other dockers i could have a use of. I have a lot of questions about hardware and settings of unraid. For the hardware, that seems pretty obvious where i should ask but about the settings ? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 For the settings I would suggest: - Look at the online documentation - it covers most of them. - If you have booted unRAID off a USB stick, then turn on the Help. This will give a lot off in-line descriptions of what the settings do. Quote Link to comment

Where could i search for that ? Quote Link to comment

None of these uses would require a VM. 3 hours ago, tyanu said: well i tried unraid on a dummy computer already and most of it was pretty simple to me, except i had some troubles having a VM going through a dedicated GPU. So what do you need a VM for? Does your "media center" use include video output? Quote Link to comment

Does your "media center" use include video output? Yes. Also, play small games with friends on the couch or stuff like that. If that wasnt clear enough, i plan on using the Windows VM as a media center. Edited April 10, 2017 by tyanu Quote Link to comment
