See, I've seen comments say that it is fully supported as well. Seems a bit unclear.

why? What’s wrong with the iGPU?

Can anyone see an problem with my plan? MSI Z690 Mini ITX board Compatible Intel 12th gen CPU (open to suggestions on which one) Innodisk m.2 10GBE adapter (uses a Marvell AQtion Ethernet Controller which I believe is supported by Unraid) LSI Logic SAS9200-8E https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/MEG-Z690I-UNIFY https://www.innodisk.com/en/products/embedded-peripheral/communication/egpl-t101 Reason for ITX is case size, I need a small rackmount case and there is more choice with ITX over Micro-ATX. Problem is I need two PCI-E slots, unless the board has 10GBE, which again, limits the choice.

So I have finally narrowed down my search to this motherboard and CPU. Intel Xeon E-2246G https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/191043/intel-xeon-e2246g-processor-12m-cache-3-60-ghz.html ASUS P11C-M/10G-2T https://www.asus.com/uk/Commercial-Servers-Workstations/P11C-M-10G-2T/ Case will be a 1U short depth chassis, which only has a single PCI-E card you can install, hence the need for either a SAS controller or 10GBe onboard (I went for 10GBe as I couldn't find one with SAS controller).

Do you have to go latest and greatest? 1151 isn’t that old and there are lots of well priced options out there.

I've been looking around and I'm swaying towards the following: ASUS P11C-I Motherboard - https://www.asus.com/uk/Commercial-Servers-Workstations/P11C-I/ It has an onboard Mini-SAS HD connector that I can use to conenct to my SAS Expander Intel Xeon E-2146G CPU https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/134866/intel-xeon-e2146g-processor-12m-cache-up-to-4-50-ghz.html Any reason why this combo wouldn't work?

How did I not know about this https://pikvm.org/ That might take away the need for IPMI/remote management.

I'm really stuck for which motherboard and CPU to go for. I need Micro-ATX for two controller cards but otherwise my requirements are pretty flexible. The chassis is a 2U SuperMicro server with a SAS Expander backplane. I'll have 50TB+ of storage (currently 5 x 14TB drives plus SSD Cache). I'd like IPMI, so that kinda sways me towards a server board. I'll be running Plex (no transcoding - Direct Play), a VM for Home Asssitant, and Docker containers for Sonarr, Radarr x2, NZBGet, a possibly a few other lightweight Docker containers. Not sure whether to go for Intel or Ryzen (or EPYC?). I was kinda swaying towards an E-2104G but not confirmed. So my options are kinda open. Anything I should consider? Obviously low idle power should be good. Is LGA 1151 a good choice?

Thanks, I looked at that one but it's too tall. I think my solution of a 1U server with a 3U JBOD array is the only option that will work.

Anyone?

I'm planning a new server build to replace a Synology DS1515+. I already have another Unraid server I use for backing up the Synology. The problem is the network cabinet I would like to put it in only 300mm deep and I have 4U space, tops. I can't find a single case that fits into that requirement but I then spotted this disk enclosure from Silverstone which would fit inside the rack, but I'd need to pair it with another 1 or 2U device to run UnRaid etc. and a RAID card to connect to the mini SAS ports. Ideally with two hot swap bays for SSDs. https://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=483&area=en However, this enclosure seems hard to get hold of. Maybe I can cut the drive bays off of a 3U server with a SAS expander backplane instead? My requirements for my new NAS are: As many hot swap bays as possible (8 minimum). I have 5 x 14TB drives I need to migrate from my Synology - I have a backup Plex Media Server and storage Sonarr/Radarr/NZBGet - Docker VMs Home Assistant host - Currently running on Proxmoxx (The HP Mini PC in the bottom of the rack) 10GBe NIC (SFP+ Ideally but RJ45 would be fine) I have a Mini-ITX motherboard (Asus ROG Strix X570-I Gaming) and a SFX-L PSU already so I could use those, but now I'm thinking another board might be better. Obviously the SFX PSU won't really fit into a 1 or 2U enclosure. If I can't find a solution, my final plan is a Supermicro SuperChassis 826E16-R920LPB as I can just about find space for it due to the height of it. But Ideally I'd like a solution that fits inside the rack.

I've recently added a dual port 10GbE NIC to my UnRaid server and since I've been having some problems with my network config. Eth0 is the onboard 1GbE NIC Eth1 is the first port on the 10GbE NIC I'd like to have both NICs connected to the same LAN. Eth0 for management, GUI, etc. and Eth1 for the SMB, VM and other traffic. I've assigned a static IP to both NICs, Eth0 has bonding enabled (I have tried to disable it but the GUI stopped loading). But if I try to connect to the IP of Eth1 I can see the traffic is going via Eth0. I ran an iPerf test and I can also see this was capped at 1Gbps. If I change the default route to Eth1, that may work I guess? But then all traffic will just come from Eth1 and Eth0 won't be used for anything.

OK managed to get most of it installed. Just easy-rsa. I can see what's wrong, the path to github is wrong. But I've edited the plugin to put the right path and still no joy.

Seems it didn't accept me changing it to a single drive the first time. When I checked the settings it was still allowing all drives. So I've changed it back to a single drive (my new 4TB drive) and it's working so far. Up to 61GB or 177GB.

Well I've changed it to a single drive, restarted AFP and still getting the error. Tried deleting my previous back and starting from fresh too. Apple reports the backup should be 200GB, but there's far more than that available.
