It has advantages in each disk being independant, and a single disk (or 2) being dedicated to the parity bits. UnRAID is just a different way of doing it. My use case is pretty simple, mythtvbackend doesn't need a lot of resources except CPU when there's commercial detection going on, it's going to be serving files via SAMBA (and not much), and playing recordings to the frontends.Īm I missing something amazing from the unraid stuff? And isn't there a free version? And there's a cost, depending on how many drives you have in the system.
#UNRAID PLUGINS VS DOCKER FULL#
With unraid, I know that there is full parity is stored on each drive, and if multiple drives fail you can just plug any one of the other drives into another computer and get the files off it, there are actual partitions with real filesystems on each drive. So this will be a traditional RAID setup, I will have to keep an eye on the SMART status of the HDDs (or use some other method, I have used nagios in the past, but that seems like a heavy solution just for doing HDD health monitoring.) I'm going to pull the 5Tb drives out of their enclosures, mount them internally, add a 3rd 5Tb drive and convert to RAID5 (no data loss). a delicious sandwich!" (The mdraid+LVM bit) So I had to try this sandwich The person who described this to me about ten years ago put it as ". mdraid on /dev/sdd1 and /dev/sdc1 set up as RAID1.

I will also be writing another blog post on how to link Sonarr with Jackett and ruTorrent for a complete automation set up.I'm about to rebuild my MythTV backend and have done a bit of reading about unraid. A new tab will open and you will now have access to Sonarr.įrom here you can configure settings within Sonarr. You’ll need to wait a little bit before being able to access the web interface for Sonarr but to do this you can click on the Sonarr icon and then click on Web Interface. Now you can run Sonarr by accessing the DOCKER tab, clicking on the Sonarr icon and clicking start.
#UNRAID PLUGINS VS DOCKER DOWNLOAD#
This will now download and set up the container. Once you have your settings done click done. Pointing it up a level to just the Downloads folder resolved that issue. I used to have it pointing to Downloads/Incoming but Sonarr failed to see any completed downloads. I have found that if you are too specific with the download folder Sonarr does not find completed downloads. Host Path 4 is the share that have set up for your downloader. This will be the share that we set up previously. Host Path 3 is the share you want your media to be copied to once the download has completed. You can leave this as default as long as you do not have anything else running on the same port. This will be the port that you will be accessing the web interface of Sonarr on. The important options to look at here are Host Port 1. This will be discussed in an up and coming blog post for reverse proxies. This is so I can use the Linuxserver.io Letsencrypt container with their proxy configs to automatically set up the reverse proxy. You can see from my screenshot that I am using a custom network called proxynetwork. You will now see the page for setting up the container settings. We will be using the Linuxserver.io containers as I have always had a positive experience with them. You should see a few different versions popping up from different providors. You will need to browse to the APPS tab on your Unraid server and search for Sonarr. Once you have the shares set up you can now finally get round to installing Sonarr. You will also need your download folder share setting up but this should be done when setting up the downloader. Everything is else is pretty much standard settings. I have chosen to Automatically split only the top two directory levels as this should keep all season folders on the same drive.

I have chosen to have individual shares for my media.īelow is a screen shot of my current settings for my TV show share. The usual setup for Sonarr would be to have a Media share that contains a TV subfolder. These will be accessable from your network so other applications can access them. Shares are where Sonarr will be accessing your downloads and putting the TV shows on your Unraid server. You can find a guide on how to do that HERE Shares
#UNRAID PLUGINS VS DOCKER INSTALL#
You need to install the Community Applications plugin. Community Applications Pluginįirst thing first. Once you have the Community Applications plugin installed you are just a few clicks away from automating your TV show consumption. Installing Sonarr couldn’t be any easier when installing using Docker on and Unraid server.
