Great video. How would I go about storing the image thumbnails on the cache and everything else on the array?

Mann...I used this last year to setup Nextcloud. I was just following the directions but wasn't really trying to make any sense of any of the reverse proxy stuff, but watching it again really helped me to understand what's going on behind the scene.

Thanks for another excellent tutorial. One quick comment - if your takeout exceeds a single zip archive, you will need to put them all in the same folder and use a wildcard such as takeout-*.zip to capture all metadata that may be spread across multiple folders. Otherwise, immich-go will fail to upload many photos because it won’t find the associated metadata.

My hero

Not related to this video, but after watching almost your ENTIRE ZFS playlist, and a few other videos on ZFS, I'd love to see a video about setting up a ZFS raidz1/2/3 system, the methodology behind how it works, and the downsides compared to unraid's own array with parity. I'm very very very interested in ZFS but I just can't get a pindown on it's differences. I'd love to be able to convert my entire array to a raidz2 ZFS but I first of all don't even know if I could do it with my mix of 18, 12, and 4 TB drives, and then I don't know how expansion would work when I want to add storage capacity. There's so many questions that I'm currently trying my best to figure out.

Hello, Spaceinvader One! I wouldn't even have the heart to try unraid if it wasn't for you. It is not an exaggeration to say that I am using unraid because of you. The reason why I leave a comment like this is because I want to install the software called Seafile as a docker on unraid. I tried to install it for 2 nights and 3 days, but it failed and I haven't succeeded yet. If you see this comment, can you make a tutorial video of how to install seafile? I look forward to hearing from you. (Seafile is lighter than nextcloud and can edit documents, play music, and play videos in the browser. It also has the advantage of making it easy to share files with others. So I want to use seafile.)

FYI FOR THOSE CONFUSED ABOUT SYNCOID. It is a part of Sanoid. He doesn't say this, so it can be confusing but a quick google search showed that it is, indeed, a part of Sanoid.

I know this is an older video but by using it I was able to get very far and am close to having my setup complete. I have installed rclone and have it syncing with dropbox. I setup user scripts and ran this in the background; mkdir -p /mnt/user/dropbox rclone mount dropbox: /mnt/user/dropbox & I then setup delug and added a path for the host and container (/mnt/user/dropbox = /dropbox in the container). Inside of deluge though it will not see the path /dropbox. I am trying to use the "autoadd" plugin (within deulge) and when I create an "autoadd" folder when I use "/dropbox" it states "path does not exist". Prior to running my user script for rclone the path does exist though.... This tells me that I have my container setup correctly but rclone is doing something to prohibit me from using the folder. From a terminal launched within the docker container I can still see "/dropbox" so it is there but deluge will not see it. side note, I did try this using the path outlined in the video /mnt/disks/dropbox but I had the same issue. Because I could not see /mnt/disks as a share and could not make it a share I then changed the path to /mnt/user/dropbox. Again, I was able to add the folder in deluge prior to mounting dropbox to /mnt/user/dropbox. this leads me to belive that rclone is modifying the folder permissions or something but I am stuck and cannot solve this.

Pls more 😎‼️ maybe vm‘s Like Home Assistant?

I really like how Immich is looking so far, but the inability to add ones own tags to an image, be it of a face or even just a general tag "Christmas" is extremely disappointing.

you forgot to give details on machine learning with cuda at end of the video

2:45 If I knew how to do that then yes...I might have by now :P

wait...what about converting all the disks? What about utilizing stripping with ZFS on unraid? What about Unraid's own parity? How does all this play in together? I'm so confused still :(

0:34 little details like this (starting out with the Master Z pool or whatever) can throw people like me off. I know that it is REALLY hard to keep track of everything when making an instructional guide. And sometimes you either don't think of something (most likely) or you think something won't matter. For people that have a hard time learning or people that overthink (also me), those little details can mean the difference between a simple watch and frustratingly re-watching over and over, replaying parts, and just generally having a bad time. I just want to share that. I'm not angry, I'm extremely grateful for your videos. They have helped me a lot. A LOT. You deserve more subscribers. It's just some feedback that you might not have considered. Or maybe you have, there's no way that I could know. Keep it up though, I literally only trust you for unraid video tutorials and I know you've helped myself and TONS of people. I explicitly look for your stuff when trying to figure something new out.

This was a brilliant, light-hearted, informative and well composed Unraid 7 feature update - thank you

FIFO is pronounced "FY FOW"

This was a huge help and way easier (for me) than the docker compose official path. The only thing I'm struggling with is the external libraries function. I'd prefer to not have Immich copy stuff... instead I'd like it to just interact with the folders I already have. Is this possible?

hello, worked perfectly in my system, anyone knows how to change the assigned drive letter in windows through virtio-fs?

17:45 mine says "device is part of a pool", how come yours doesn't?

How do xfat and zfs cache pools work?

Please add chapters.

My friend sent me to your channel when I asked him about Unraid, and he said you're "Unofficially the Official Unraid Guy" and after watching this I totally agree. Such quick straight to the point instructions. Thankyou for your service

with the shield do you have any problems with audio cutting out while watching a movie? Awesome videos by the way.

I am very new to Unraid; trying to set up nextcloud using the cloudflare zero trust tunnel. It says I cant access the webpage because its an untrusted domain and needs to be added to the config file. I went into the config file and added it as a trusted site and the error persists. Any ideas?

Awsome video as always :) I am looking how to pair SSH keys between two servers preferably over the internet? could you point out if this is documented or how to do this at all? We have 2 unraid servers at different properties and this is a dream com true ZFS snapshots remotely onto encrypted pools {dreamy} :)

Okay so what am I doing wrong? Everything is looking good until I changed the DNS on my window pc to the open vpn ip address on unraid. As expected browser no longer work. But after installing MASQ on the server, my window PC is still not working. Any suggestions? Also I seem to have 2 tun(s), whereas you only have tun0

Thank you so very much - your tutorials are so valuable!

Superbly helpful - have binned SWAG which was causing me no end of hassle...

I love your videos especially the ones surrounding ZFS as i find this file system quite intriguing, however would it be possible to make a video on ZFS and how Hardlinking works, I cant seem to setup TRaSH guides with my ZFS array as it seems it duplicates files instead of creating hardlinks, there isnt enough sources online surrounding this but i did find something you posted last year explaining that ZFS treats shares/disks as different datasets. How can i ensure all my media stays on one dataset and create hardlinks from that to the data/media directory

so, once again, top tutorial. did it all and it's working just fine with waking it from my phone. The thing is, if i'm out of home, and that happens, how can i reach the ip of the server if it's the serve that gives me connection to home, with Wireguard? To make my quastion clear, if the server sleeps, and next morning i'm out of home, i can't wake it because i have no way to connect to the lan ... Any sollution? Thank you! ps: i have my pc disconnected when i'm not at home so i can't use it to wake the server.

For those of you who don't want to expose your server to the wild-wild-web, but do run an internal reverse proxy - Keep Immich set to only backup on wifi, or utilize unRaid's built in Wireguard on your phone to backup when away from your home network.

Hi spaceinvader one. Love your channel and its content. I have an unusual question for you. I know you like a challenge 😊. My unraid drives crashed and as I left it for too long, none of them are being detected by the system. I want to replace every drive including the parity with new ssd’s. I’d there a way to use my original unraid USB boot drive and retain all my config using all new drives. Can this be done? Thanks Trevor from Brisbane Australia.

Hey this does not seemto be working with beta 7 unraid :(

This just helped me sooooo much! Thank you Spaceinvader One!

Looking forward to your immich gpu acceleration video and macinabox updated vm tutorial!

Awesome video. I have made a tiny change to the "custom tabs super.sh" file, to center the buttons, enhance the text size and set a background color. The changes are made from line 377.

I don't have a "Path: /import: , I do have Path: /libraries are they one in the same?

heyyyyyy it's nice to see your face!! Your voice doesnt match you :P I expected you to be much older

Nobody needed that horrible AI "song" or whatever it was, but thanks for the video.

What are people using to preclear their drive now? That preclear disk app is no longer available

great tutorial, buts kind of a shame that Immich doesn't have a simple and friendly "Scan Folder" feasture so you don't need to reupload all of your photos, instead of just "adding" them to the library. I ended up just using Photoprism because of this, way more friendly and i just simply press a button and it scan all my photo folders and they magicaly appear on the app

Your channel has been such a help to someone like me! It is perfect for those venturing out, learning new technologies, and deploying them ourselves. Can't thank you enough!

I really love your content! Since most internet providers are distributing IPv6 adresses now, this tutorial is quite outdated. The web lacks a good unraid/nextcloud tutorial based on IPv6 adress handling...i would really LOVE to see you updating this very useful and beautiful tutorial you made.

What does one do when the device you want to passthrough is still not broken up in to a group that you are able to bind??? I can't separate my Audio device.

The process was very clear. Though I still have questions such as if the files in the shared that was moved to the array was in 1 format and now that the new cache is for example ads with compression. When the data got moved back to the cache, does it now convert it to zfs and compress it?

Doesn't matter what the Default File System is. You still have to set the file system on the individual disk before it gets formatted.
