hello everybody this is tekka in this hello everybody this is tekka in this video I'm going to be talking about my video I'm going to be talking about my video I'm going to be talking about my Nas software I've used a bunch of Nas software I've used a bunch of Nas software I've used a bunch of different things in the last couple different things in the last couple different things in the last couple months of course I have a sonology months of course I have a sonology months of course I have a sonology machine so that's just kind of been machine so that's just kind of been machine so that's just kind of been running in the background I've tried running in the background I've tried running in the background I've tried true Nas core true Nas scale open media true Nas core true Nas scale open media true Nas core true Nas scale open media Vault and after trying all of that I'm Vault and after trying all of that I'm Vault and after trying all of that I'm finally deciding to settle on this right finally deciding to settle on this right finally deciding to settle on this right here this is UNR but before we get ahead here this is UNR but before we get ahead here this is UNR but before we get ahead of ourselves why didn't I go with one of of ourselves why didn't I go with one of of ourselves why didn't I go with one of those other options first being traz those other options first being traz those other options first being traz traz is absolutely wonderful it is a traz is absolutely wonderful it is a traz is absolutely wonderful it is a great piece of software free and open great piece of software free and open great piece of software free and open source but on the user experience and source but on the user experience and source but on the user experience and kind of personal preference side I kind of personal preference side I kind of personal preference side I wasn't really feeling the user interface wasn't really feeling the user interface wasn't really feeling the user interface and there was a issue when it comes to and there was a issue when it comes to and there was a issue when it comes to uh Network shares and Docker containers uh Network shares and Docker containers uh Network shares and Docker containers for example my media server I have a for example my media server I have a for example my media server I have a huge collection of media that I have huge collection of media that I have huge collection of media that I have shared out so I can add files remove shared out so I can add files remove shared out so I can add files remove files edit it from other machines and on files edit it from other machines and on files edit it from other machines and on trz I had a container running the actual trz I had a container running the actual trz I had a container running the actual media server but for security reasons or media server but for security reasons or media server but for security reasons or whatever it just did not like that and whatever it just did not like that and whatever it just did not like that and that is just the workflow that I'm used that is just the workflow that I'm used that is just the workflow that I'm used to and I ended up having to do like to and I ended up having to do like to and I ended up having to do like weird workarounds where if the machine weird workarounds where if the machine weird workarounds where if the machine restarted I had to temporarily disable restarted I had to temporarily disable restarted I had to temporarily disable the share to actually launch the media the share to actually launch the media the share to actually launch the media server container and then reenable the server container and then reenable the server container and then reenable the share it was just a bunch of extra work share it was just a bunch of extra work share it was just a bunch of extra work granted when it comes to actually granted when it comes to actually granted when it comes to actually setting up a raid using containers and setting up a raid using containers and setting up a raid using containers and all that it is a real topnotch all that it is a real topnotch all that it is a real topnotch experience and I do recommend it from experience and I do recommend it from experience and I do recommend it from there I Tred out open media Vault there I Tred out open media Vault there I Tred out open media Vault primarily because it's simply Debian primarily because it's simply Debian primarily because it's simply Debian with a really nice set of tools to go with a really nice set of tools to go with a really nice set of tools to go ahead and actually set up manage raids

ahead and actually set up manage raids ahead and actually set up manage raids and just interact with the system over a and just interact with the system over a and just interact with the system over a web gooey just like with trz I wasn't web gooey just like with trz I wasn't web gooey just like with trz I wasn't really a fan of the overall dashboard really a fan of the overall dashboard really a fan of the overall dashboard and kind of user experience of the thing and kind of user experience of the thing and kind of user experience of the thing plus I had a real hell of a time getting plus I had a real hell of a time getting plus I had a real hell of a time getting the Intel Hardware acceleration to work the Intel Hardware acceleration to work the Intel Hardware acceleration to work properly with a Docker I did manage to properly with a Docker I did manage to properly with a Docker I did manage to get it to work kind of but just overall get it to work kind of but just overall get it to work kind of but just overall there I there's better things out there there I there's better things out there there I there's better things out there if you're looking for something that's if you're looking for something that's if you're looking for something that's incredibly simple free and open source incredibly simple free and open source incredibly simple free and open source you're used to using Debbie and then you you're used to using Debbie and then you you're used to using Debbie and then you just want to use that as your server just want to use that as your server just want to use that as your server with some extra tools to help you out it with some extra tools to help you out it with some extra tools to help you out it is a great option real quick I do have is a great

me I ended up needing to get this plus one I ended up needing to get this plus one I ended up needing to get this plus one for for for $90 mostly because I have six storage $90 mostly because I have six storage $90 mostly because I have six storage drives but I also have an mvme which I'm drives but I also have an mvme which I'm drives but I also have an mvme which I'm going to talk about in a second so just going to talk about in a second so just going to talk about in a second so just heads up this is paid software but with heads up this is paid software but with heads up this is paid software but with paid software comes kind of better
-
paid software comes kind of better paid software comes kind of better support it's just overall a good support it's just overall a good support it's just overall a good experience granted I would have experience granted I would have experience granted I would have preferred something free in open source preferred something free in open source preferred something free in open source so when it comes to the overall user so when it comes to the overall user so when it comes to the overall user experience it's really nice uh for experience it's really nice uh for experience it's really nice uh for installation it does work a little installation it does work a little installation it does work a little differently you don't actually install differently you don't actually install differently you don't actually install it onto a drive on your computer Nas it onto a drive on your computer Nas it onto a drive on your computer Nas whatever you happen to be using you have whatever you happen to be using you have whatever you happen to be using you have a flash drive that you go ahead and a flash drive that you go ahead and a flash drive that you go ahead and install UNR onto and then every time it install UNR onto and then every time it install UNR onto and then every time it boots up it loads the operating system boots up it loads the operating system boots up it loads the operating system into the system memory and you need to into the system memory and you need to into the system memory and you need to have that USB plugged in all the time so have that USB plugged in all the time so have that USB plugged in all the time so it can work because that is essentially it can work because that is essentially it can work because that is essentially your boot drive and another weird thing your boot drive and another weird thing your boot drive and another weird thing if you have a USB like this one the uh if you have a USB like this one the uh if you have a USB like this one the uh actual license you buy is attached to actual license you buy is attached to actual license you buy is attached to the USB so you better use a good one the USB so you better use a good one the USB so you better use a good one when you decide to install it I think when you decide to install it I think when you decide to install it I think you can switch it if you contact you can switch it if you contact you can switch it if you contact customer support but it's not something customer support but it's not something customer support but it's not something that is encouraged so with that we're that is encouraged so with that we're that is encouraged so with that we're going to kind of go over the dashboard going to kind of go over the dashboard going to kind of go over the dashboard go over some of the things I like about go over some of the things I like about go over some of the things I like about it there are definitely some cons that it there are definitely some cons that it there are definitely some cons that I'm going to be talking about and I'm I'm going to be talking about and I'm I'm going to be talking about and I'm just going to go over my typical setup just going to go over my typical setup just going to go over my typical setup here on the dashboard we have actual here on the dashboard we have actual here on the dashboard we have actual information about the server I'm running information about the server I'm running information about the server I'm running we have our processor and the load that we have our processor and the load that we have our processor and the load that is running including the memory the is running including the memory the is running including the memory the interface so we can see the inbound interface so we can see the inbound interface so we can see the inbound outbound speeds and connections we have outbound speeds and connections we have outbound speeds and connections we have a little bit of outbound going because a little bit of outbound going because a little bit of outbound going because my wife is watching the beaky blinders my wife is watching the beaky blinders my wife is watching the beaky blinders power I do have a UPS but I'm in the power I do have a UPS but I'm in the power I do have a UPS but I'm in the process of kind of figuring that out and process of kind of figuring that out and process of kind of figuring that out and setting it up GPU this is a plug-in this setting it up GPU this is a plug-in this setting it up GPU this is a plug-in this isn't the default thing right here I isn't the default thing right here I isn't the default thing right here I actually probably won't be using it actually probably won't be using it actually probably won't be using it anymore I switched the actual Plex anymore I switched the actual Plex anymore I switched the actual Plex container to its own dedicated box with container to its own dedicated box with container to its own dedicated box with a better CPU and Hardware acceleration a better CPU and Hardware acceleration a better CPU and Hardware acceleration but this was really handy helping me but this was really handy helping me but this was really handy helping me make sure that it was actually working
-
make sure that it was actually working make sure that it was actually working and then if we go up here we have our and then if we go up here we have our and then if we go up here we have our Docker containers I'll be diving into Docker containers I'll be diving into Docker containers I'll be diving into that in a little bit we have our Network that in a little bit we have our Network that in a little bit we have our Network shares which the ones that say secure shares which the ones that say secure shares which the ones that say secure are the ones that I created and then the are the ones that I created and then the are the ones that I created and then the app data domains isos and systems are app data domains isos and systems are app data domains isos and systems are the kind of default setup here we have the kind of default setup here we have the kind of default setup here we have our users and then over here we have our users and then over here we have our users and then over here we have information about our actual raid so we information about our actual raid so we information about our actual raid so we have the parody and then all the devices have the parody and then all the devices have the parody and then all the devices in the array with their status in the array with their status in the array with their status utilization and whether or not if utilization and whether or not if utilization and whether or not if they're active or not so now we're going they're active or not so now we're going they're active or not so now we're going to kind of dive into more specifics of to kind of dive into more specifics of to kind of dive into more specifics of all these so we're going to start off by all these so we're going to start off by all these so we're going to start off by going to main which this is my array of going to main which this is my array of going to main which this is my array of devices so in my array you can see I devices so in my array you can see I devices so in my array you can see I have six 4 tbte hard drives as well as a have six 4 tbte hard drives as well as a have six 4 tbte hard drives as well as a mvme SSD my boot device like I mentioned mvme SSD my boot device like I mentioned mvme SSD my boot device like I mentioned earlier is The Flash at a data traveler earlier is The Flash at a data traveler earlier is The Flash at a data traveler 3.0 31 gig and then we have the 3.0 31 gig and then we have the 3.0 31 gig and then we have the operation parody is valid here we can operation parody is valid here we can operation parody is valid here we can completely stop the array check it check completely stop the array check it check completely stop the array check it check the history spin it up spin it down the history spin it up spin it down the history spin it up spin it down reboot and shut down the entire system reboot and shut down the entire system reboot and shut down the entire system from here when you first start up the from here when you first start up the from here when you first start up the system it's going to kind of list off system it's going to kind of list off system it's going to kind of list off your devices and have you kind of create your devices and have you kind of create your devices and have you kind of create that array and to actually do that and that array and to actually do that and that array and to actually do that and then scan it properly it takes like a then scan it properly it takes like a then scan it properly it takes like a day or two depending on how much space day or two depending on how much space day or two depending on how much space you have but overall this has been a you have but overall this has been a you have but overall this has been a absolutely phenomenal experience and absolutely phenomenal experience and absolutely phenomenal experience and then if I want more information on the then if I want more information on the then if I want more information on the specific Drive I could go ahead and view specific Drive I could go ahead and view specific Drive I could go ahead and view it here and you could see the actual it here and you could see the actual it here and you could see the actual shares and files that are associated shares and files that are associated shares and files that are associated with it for example something we're with it for example something we're with it for example something we're about to talk about is right here this about to talk about is right here this about to talk about is right here this mvme actually we'll go ahead and Skip to mvme actually we'll go ahead and Skip to mvme actually we'll go ahead and Skip to shares here are the shares so we have shares here are the shares so we have shares here are the shares so we have app data that's a default one app data app data that's a default one app data app data that's a default one app data is their default and preferred way to is their default and preferred way to is their default and preferred way to kind of set up your um or the place
-
kind of set up your um or the place kind of set up your um or the place where like your Docker configurations where like your Docker configurations where like your Docker configurations and things like that go data is the one and things like that go data is the one and things like that go data is the one I created which has all my media library I created which has all my media library I created which has all my media library on it Docker is just what I wanted to do on it Docker is just what I wanted to do on it Docker is just what I wanted to do here is instead of using app data which here is instead of using app data which here is instead of using app data which is kind of default on the whole array of is kind of default on the whole array of is kind of default on the whole array of hard drives I created my own share for hard drives I created my own share for hard drives I created my own share for my Docker cigs which is specifically on my Docker cigs which is specifically on my Docker cigs which is specifically on the mvme SSD and this was really helpful the mvme SSD and this was really helpful the mvme SSD and this was really helpful um before I switched it over for um before I switched it over for um before I switched it over for something like Plex because Plex has a something like Plex because Plex has a something like Plex because Plex has a lot of very small files that it needs to lot of very small files that it needs to lot of very small files that it needs to pull and look through and relying on pull and look through and relying on pull and look through and relying on spinning discs to do that kind of slows spinning discs to do that kind of slows spinning discs to do that kind of slows down the UI and user experience so down the UI and user experience so down the UI and user experience so putting all the Plex configuration files putting all the Plex configuration files putting all the Plex configuration files onto an mvmd definitely does kind of onto an mvmd definitely does kind of onto an mvmd definitely does kind of improve the performance of the Plex UI improve the performance of the Plex UI improve the performance of the Plex UI domains saved VM instances I'm not domains saved VM instances I'm not domains saved VM instances I'm not really using this as my VM so I can't really using this as my VM so I can't really using this as my VM so I can't really speak on VMS in this instance I'm really speak on VMS in this instance I'm really speak on VMS in this instance I'm still kind of preferring sonology for still kind of preferring sonology for still kind of preferring sonology for that just because it's what I'm used to that just because it's what I'm used to that just because it's what I'm used to and then we have ISO images and system and then we have ISO images and system and then we have ISO images and system data and you can see here if I go to data and you can see here if I go to data and you can see here if I go to this Docker for example click on that we this Docker for example click on that we this Docker for example click on that we can see all my Docker configuration can see all my Docker configuration can see all my Docker configuration files here and you're able to kind of files here and you're able to kind of files here and you're able to kind of browse through this on here you can't browse through this on here you can't browse through this on here you can't make any edits or anything but it does make any edits or anything but it does make any edits or anything but it does give you an overview of your system give you an overview of your system give you an overview of your system files and of course if you do want kind files and of course if you do want kind files and of course if you do want kind of a web graphical way to manage and of a web graphical way to manage and of a web graphical way to manage and edit your files there are plugins and edit your files there are plugins and edit your files there are plugins and Docker containers that you could use Docker containers that you could use Docker containers that you could use just for that purpose and if I go back just for that purpose and if I go back just for that purpose and if I go back to main real quick I can kind of show to main real quick I can kind of show to main real quick I can kind of show you what I was talking about this Lenovo you what I was talking about this Lenovo you what I was talking about this Lenovo SSD here here if I open this up you can SSD here here if I open this up you can SSD here here if I open this up you can see the real only thing associated with see the real only thing associated with see the real only thing associated with it is that Docker share so it's cool it is that Docker share so it's cool it is that Docker share so it's cool that you can even though you have a
-
that you can even though you have a that you can even though you have a whole raid that are all connected you whole raid that are all connected you whole raid that are all connected you can still set specific drives for can still set specific drives for can still set specific drives for specific shares really handy so if I go specific shares really handy so if I go specific shares really handy so if I go back to shares for example I click on back to shares for example I click on back to shares for example I click on Docker here you have the name we have Docker here you have the name we have Docker here you have the name we have the comment we have the allocation the comment we have the allocation the comment we have the allocation method which I believe high water kind method which I believe high water kind method which I believe high water kind of um fills things up to about 50% and of um fills things up to about 50% and of um fills things up to about 50% and then kind of tapers off into other then kind of tapers off into other then kind of tapers off into other drives the allocation method is drives the allocation method is drives the allocation method is completely up to you we have included completely up to you we have included completely up to you we have included discs which dis 6 which is that SSD and discs which dis 6 which is that SSD and discs which dis 6 which is that SSD and we have excluded discs which are all the we have excluded discs which are all the we have excluded discs which are all the other drives and that's kind of where other drives and that's kind of where other drives and that's kind of where you set that up and specify this and you set that up and specify this and you set that up and specify this and then of course we have the SMB and SMB then of course we have the SMB and SMB then of course we have the SMB and SMB user access I gave my personal user user access I gave my personal user user access I gave my personal user access and if I go over to users we have access and if I go over to users we have access and if I go over to users we have the root user and then we have my actual the root user and then we have my actual the root user and then we have my actual user that I use to connect to all the user that I use to connect to all the user that I use to connect to all the shares you can see I give this user shares you can see I give this user shares you can see I give this user access to the data and Docker for read access to the data and Docker for read access to the data and Docker for read and write which is really nice cuz then and write which is really nice cuz then and write which is really nice cuz then when I actually launch Docker containers when I actually launch Docker containers when I actually launch Docker containers and set and set and set permissions I associate this user to permissions I associate this user to permissions I associate this user to them so then if the docker containers them so then if the docker containers them so then if the docker containers themselves make any configuration files themselves make any configuration files themselves make any configuration files or anything like that this user or anything like that this user or anything like that this user automatically has privileges to go ahead automatically has privileges to go ahead automatically has privileges to go ahead and edit and configure those under and edit and configure those under and edit and configure those under settings we have a whole bunch of fun settings we have a whole bunch of fun settings we have a whole bunch of fun stuff we have CPU pinning time and date stuff we have CPU pinning time and date stuff we have CPU pinning time and date disk settings and if I go in here you disk settings and if I go in here you disk settings and if I go in here you could see really how many settings and could see really how many settings and could see really how many settings and how configurable this actually is we are how configurable this actually is we are how configurable this actually is we are currently using xfs as our default file currently using xfs as our default file currently using xfs as our default file system and here actually I'm going to system and here actually I'm going to system and here actually I'm going to change this a little bit um warning change this a little bit um warning change this a little bit um warning temperature that mvme gets a little warm temperature that mvme gets a little warm temperature that mvme gets a little warm sometimes that's cuz I don't have proper sometimes that's cuz I don't have proper sometimes that's cuz I don't have proper heat sinks or anything on it so I'm just heat sinks or anything on it so I'm just heat sinks or anything on it so I'm just going to bump this up a little bit so I
-
going to bump this up a little bit so I going to bump this up a little bit so I don't get as many notifications that was don't get as many notifications that was don't get as many notifications that was one of the things I was going to one of the things I was going to one of the things I was going to complain about but I should have Dove complain about but I should have Dove complain about but I should have Dove through these settings just a little through these settings just a little through these settings just a little more before I started complaining maybe more before I started complaining maybe more before I started complaining maybe go 65 before it's absolutely critical to go 65 before it's absolutely critical to go 65 before it's absolutely critical to apply that there we go and that's how apply that there we go and that's how apply that there we go and that's how easy it is to change a setting then we easy it is to change a setting then we easy it is to change a setting then we have Smart settings here I'm not going have Smart settings here I'm not going have Smart settings here I'm not going to dive through every single setting but to dive through every single setting but to dive through every single setting but there is definitely a lot we have the there is definitely a lot we have the there is definitely a lot we have the UPS settings our VM manager set settings UPS settings our VM manager set settings UPS settings our VM manager set settings which you can see they're currently which you can see they're currently which you can see they're currently enabled this is the verta io kind of enabled this is the verta io kind of enabled this is the verta io kind of drivers for Windows like I said I drivers for Windows like I said I drivers for Windows like I said I haven't really played around or used haven't really played around or used haven't really played around or used that so I can't really speak on it we that so I can't really speak on it we that so I can't really speak on it we have all of our Network Services so NFS have all of our Network Services so NFS have all of our Network Services so NFS SMB FTP servers so you can configure all SMB FTP servers so you can configure all SMB FTP servers so you can configure all those the permissions for those that those the permissions for those that those the permissions for those that have this work and then under user have this work and then under user have this work and then under user utilities these are kind of things or utilities these are kind of things or utilities these are kind of things or plugins I installed such as this GPU plugins I installed such as this GPU plugins I installed such as this GPU statistics here and exactly how I want statistics here and exactly how I want statistics here and exactly how I want it to work so it works for Nidia Intel it to work so it works for Nidia Intel it to work so it works for Nidia Intel and AMD super handy and then Community and AMD super handy and then Community and AMD super handy and then Community applications are here so that's enabled applications are here so that's enabled applications are here so that's enabled and that's what we're going to dive into and that's what we're going to dive into and that's what we're going to dive into right now so first we have plugins now right now so first we have plugins now right now so first we have plugins now plugins are just simple additions such plugins are just simple additions such plugins are just simple additions such as the GPU statistics Intel top it's as the GPU statistics Intel top it's as the GPU statistics Intel top it's kind of like actual base system kind of like actual base system kind of like actual base system applications in a way and there's a lot applications in a way and there's a lot applications in a way and there's a lot of different plugins that do a lot of of different plugins that do a lot of of different plugins that do a lot of different things and you can install different things and you can install different things and you can install plugins from file here if you would like plugins from file here if you would like plugins from file here if you would like to and if we go over to Docker these are to and if we go over to Docker these are to and if we go over to Docker these are our actual Docker containers you can see our actual Docker containers you can see our actual Docker containers you can see I definitely have a lot of them here I definitely have a lot of them here I definitely have a lot of them here most of them kind of lean towards the uh most of them kind of lean towards the uh most of them kind of lean towards the uh media management because this server is media management because this server is media management because this server is technically my hopkey media server which technically my hopkey media server which technically my hopkey media server which we see right here we have a bunch of we see right here we have a bunch of we see right here we have a bunch of different things and it's really nice different things and it's really nice different things and it's really nice because a lot of these well all of these because a lot of these well all of these because a lot of these well all of these I pulled from apps over here which the I pulled from apps over here which the I pulled from apps over here which the uh Community the unraid community is has

uh Community the unraid community is has uh Community the unraid community is has some phenomenal people that do a lot of some phenomenal people that do a lot of some phenomenal people that do a lot of awesome work in terms of making these awesome work in terms of making these awesome work in terms of making these kind of community Docker templates that kind of community Docker templates that kind of community Docker templates that are just designed to work really good are just designed to work really good are just designed to work really good out of the box making installing out of the box making installing out of the box making installing applications like this incredibly easy applications like this incredibly easy applications like this incredibly easy here we have the application name we here we have the application name we here we have the application name we have the version the network Port have the version the network Port have the version the network Port mappings volume mappings auto start mappings volume mappings auto start mappings volume mappings auto start options and uptime you can see there's a options and uptime you can see there's a options and uptime you can see there's a mix some of these are 28 minutes because mix some of these are 28 minutes because mix some of these are 28 minutes because I just updated a lot of these up to 11 I just updated a lot of these up to 11 I just updated a lot of these up to 11 days I think is last time I restarted days I think is last time I restarted days I think is last time I restarted the or 12 days ago is when I restarted the or 12 days ago is when I restarted the or 12 days ago is when I restarted the actual system so basically all the the actual system so basically all the the actual system so basically all the information that you're going to want information that you're going to want information that you're going to want for a basic overview of your containers for a basic overview of your containers

I just removed my username and password I just removed my username and password here so I don't accidentally link that here so I don't accidentally link that here so I don't accidentally link that see I'm using a Pia at the moment with see I'm using a Pia at the moment with see I'm using a Pia at the moment with openvpn but what's real nice about this openvpn but what's real nice about this openvpn but what's real nice about this and real nice about these container and real nice about these container and real nice about these container images is they're just built to work for images is they're just built to work for images is they're just built to work for example right here we have the VPN input example right here we have the VPN input example right here we have the VPN input ports now this is really nice CU then I ports now this is really nice CU then I ports now this is really nice CU then I can set this specific container as my can set this specific container as my can set this specific container as my network with the VPN running and then network with the VPN running and then network with the VPN running and then set this as the network and then set set this as the network and then set set this as the network and then set this container as the network for other this container as the network for other this container as the network for other containers funneling the traffic through containers funneling the traffic through containers funneling the traffic through it thus funneling it through a VPN so it thus funneling it through a VPN so it thus funneling it through a VPN so these right here are the ports of two these right here are the ports of two these right here are the ports of two other containers that I kind of want to other containers that I kind of want to other containers that I kind of want to have a VPN and it just kind of works so have a VPN and it just kind of works so have a VPN and it just kind of works so I'm going to go back to Docker here and I'm going to go back to Docker here and I'm going to go back to Docker here and you can see we have nzb git as well as you can see we have nzb git as well as you can see we have nzb git as well as Prowler using the network of this Prowler using the network of this Prowler using the network of this container so these two containers are container so these two containers are container so these two containers are funneled through the dulge VPN thus funneled through the dulge VPN thus funneled through the dulge VPN thus giving the VPN to multiple containers giving the VPN to multiple containers giving the VPN to multiple containers without having to set up separate vpns without having to set up separate vpns without having to set up separate vpns for every single one which depending on for every single one which depending on for every single one which depending on your VPN provider some of them have your VPN provider some of them have your VPN provider some of them have limits to the amount of devices and this limits to the amount of devices and this limits to the amount of devices and this makes it so it's only taking up one makes it so it's only taking up one makes it so it's only taking up one device additionally if I go ahead and device additionally if I go ahead and device additionally if I go ahead and open up a fresh RSS go to show more open up a fresh RSS go to show more open up a fresh RSS go to show more settings here app data I mentioned settings here app data I mentioned settings here app data I mentioned earlier that's kind of the default where earlier that's kind of the default where earlier that's kind of the default where they prefer you to put your Docker they prefer you to put your Docker they prefer you to put your Docker configurations I have mine in Docker and configurations I have mine in Docker and configurations I have mine in Docker and fresh RSS but for example if I were to fresh RSS but for example if I were to fresh RSS but for example if I were to get rid of this you can see we still get rid of this you can see we still get rid of this you can see we still have that app data share but the Docker have that app data share but the Docker have that app data share but the Docker is the one I added and then IID add is the one I added and then IID add is the one I added and then IID add fresh RSS so you can still customize it fresh RSS so you can still customize it fresh RSS so you can still customize it and do whatever you want with these and do whatever you want with these and do whatever you want with these containers it basically is Docker just containers it basically is Docker just containers it basically is Docker just with these kind of community templates with these kind of community templates with these kind of community templates which you can find over here under apps

which you can find over here under apps which you can find over here under apps and this is a really great system for and this is a really great system for and this is a really great system for discovering new Docker containers and discovering new Docker containers and discovering new Docker containers and new services that you want to run on new services that you want to run on new services that you want to run on your home lab because they have the your home lab because they have the your home lab because they have the Recently Added here but they also have Recently Added here but they also have Recently Added here but they also have Spotlight applications that's how I Spotlight applications that's how I Spotlight applications that's how I discovered this right here it's a discovered this right here it's a discovered this right here it's a phenomenal little eBook reader that I've phenomenal little eBook reader that I've phenomenal little eBook reader that I've been using quite a bit just kind of been using quite a bit just kind of been using quite a bit just kind of loading my textbooks on there and using loading my textbooks on there and using loading my textbooks on there and using it for school retro naaz they have cops it for school retro naaz they have cops it for school retro naaz they have cops if we go to top trending we got a proxy if we go to top trending we got a proxy if we go to top trending we got a proxy manager here web hook we have a Sab and manager here web hook we have a Sab and manager here web hook we have a Sab and ZB extended top new installs random ZB extended top new installs random ZB extended top new installs random applications so they really make it easy applications so they really make it easy applications so they really make it easy to kind of find and discover things and to kind of find and discover things and to kind of find and discover things and like if I go to Media servers here for like if I go to Media servers here for like if I go to Media servers here for example here I can even see some example here I can even see some example here I can even see some applications I've covered in the past applications I've covered in the past applications I've covered in the past such as audiobook shelf which again is such as audiobook shelf which again is such as audiobook shelf which again is another phenomenal application we have another phenomenal application we have another phenomenal application we have nbplex and you can see a lot of these nbplex and you can see a lot of these nbplex and you can see a lot of these are Community hosted so we have this one are Community hosted so we have this one are Community hosted so we have this one just Plex this one with Plex pass and if just Plex this one with Plex pass and if just Plex this one with Plex pass and if I were to for example install this it I were to for example install this it I were to for example install this it would bring up all the recommended would bring up all the recommended would bring up all the recommended variables and things to change right variables and things to change right variables and things to change right here so by default it's assuming I kind here so by default it's assuming I kind here so by default it's assuming I kind of have Nvidia GPU which I don't but if of have Nvidia GPU which I don't but if of have Nvidia GPU which I don't but if I did that's really easy if I don't have I did that's really easy if I don't have I did that's really easy if I don't have Nvidia GPU I can remove those and then Nvidia GPU I can remove those and then Nvidia GPU I can remove those and then obviously Add A New Path port or obviously Add A New Path port or obviously Add A New Path port or container and then set that to Intel GPU container and then set that to Intel GPU container and then set that to Intel GPU or whatever I needed to do we have all or whatever I needed to do we have all or whatever I needed to do we have all the permissions here so in my instance I the permissions here so in my instance I the permissions here so in my instance I keep the group ID at 100 but this I keep the group ID at 100 but this I keep the group ID at 100 but this I always end up changing to a th000 so always end up changing to a th000 so always end up changing to a th000 so then that default user I created will then that default user I created will then that default user I created will have access and then you can just have access and then you can just have access and then you can just configure this how you want so configure this how you want so configure this how you want so technically I would want this to be technically I would want this to be technically I would want this to be under data and really that's it so on so under data and really that's it so on so under data and really that's it so on so forth really easy to set up I have been forth really easy to set up I have been forth really

Summary
This video compares different NAS software options, specifically TrueNAS Core, TrueNAS Scale, OpenMediaVault, and ultimately settling on UNRAID. Key subjects discussed include user interface preferences, network shares, Docker containers, and hardware acceleration. The takeaway is that while TrueNAS and OpenMediaVault have strengths, UNRAID is preferred for its user-friendliness and smoother workflow for personal media server management.
