Hey guys. I’ve been considering maybe moving to another OS for my home lab. Do you have have any suggestions? Especially former Unraid users? Mostly just for arrs though I would like to run reverse proxy/file hosting as well. Proxmox seems pretty trendy can I use it for arrs as well as backups?
Rant/extra info:
Tap for spoiler
I’ve been using Unraid for a couple years now, even paid for basic registration. I’ve largely used it to run all my arrs in docker, pihole and had a HASSIO VM running.
I recently tried setting up nextcloud, during the set up (which like nearly everything, I followed a video guide for) I ran into a novel error. So I deleted the nextcloud docker and got it from the official repo instead. Now my nextcloud share is gone and I can’t create new shares??
Stuff like this happened when I set up guac. Weird errors, plenty of which have little documentation or explanation. Plenty of which I need to ssh in or use Linux commands to fix. Which lead me to, “I’m having to learn this stuff anyway, why not spin up a Linux server and learn properly”.
Should I just rebuild/give Unraid a bit more time, it is young OS wise right?
Have you solved the issues Syncthing has with Android? Seems Android v9 and later networking blocks the LAN access for finding local relays. Even manually configuring relay IPs in Syncthing doesn’t resolve the issue.
It runs just fine for me on Android 14. I don’t remember if it found the other devices automatically, but setting them up manually is trivial too. And devices can inform each other about each other if you enable it.
I don’t use it on Android because I don’t need sync, I need backups.
Photo backups are handled by Immich, and a general backup is done by the FolderSync app on a daily schedule over WebDAV to my server.
