![]() Not to mention you do risk any files on cache before mover runs. Though if you are running Windows VMs where backup/recovery will be more resource/time-consuming maybe Raid is for you. While Raid 1 will give you redundancy for your cache, do you really want/need it? AppData backup for your Dockers is most likely going to be enough. So, a Raid 1 setup is really dependent on how comfortable you are with failure risk. So this completely depends on how much are you going to upload to unraid and how often you want the mover to run (even then Unraid has the option to go direct to protected if your cache gets full so it's not like things will fail, just slow down).Ĭache in Raid/Redundancy? Again, completely dependent on your usage/needs and desires.Ĭache content usually is fairly temporary, or small enough to easily backup. I personally have my Mover running nightly, so really only need enough space for expected new content for 24 hours. The rest is purely for temporary storage of new files I have uploaded. I have yet to turn on advanced Plex metadata, but plan to. My cache usage fluctuates, right now it's ~50GB, but can get in the 100-200GB range. It is common for me to get ~1TB of content a month. I use a few of the major starr app dockers (Sonarr, Radarr etc) and Plex Server, so I have my docker appdata and any "working"/temp download directories on my cache. Though I highly suggest backing up these files, CA appdata backup is a great plugin!Ĭache Size? Completely dependent on what and how you plan to use your cache. Cache is faster at writes, so if you are running apps/VMs, you don't want them running directly on your protected shares. ![]() The "Mover" then will copy them to the protected array at a time/interval you set. There are 2 major uses for the cache drive: I would guess most people use 1 cache drive, I do. So this means limited to GUI configurations, using plugins and dockers available from the app store. How do you plan to use Unraid? Though I will try and give you my personal usage/thoughts and what I have seen others do in the forum.īIAS Warning: I am what I would consider a "power user", someone that knows/desires enough to do some limited tweaking and config with ease of use, simplicity as a priority. Longer answer: Loaded question, as you didn't give enough info to properly answer. The only rules to naming your container-paths is that if another contatiner is on the same network then it has to use the same container-path for the share so if Sonarr and Radarr both pull from a media folder then both containers need to share the same container-path name.Short answer: Since you are starting with unraid, you will be fine with 1 cache 1TB. (/mnt/user/"YOUR-DOWNLOAD-SHARE-NAME")_ (/downloads) (/mnt/user/"YOUR-MEDIA-SHARE-NAME")_ (/media) Usually the container-paths are always set up as /"name-of-path." Now your container is like its own light weight OS so it does'nt share the same pathing as your host system Your config path is the appdata, so you create a share on your array (or better yet cache drive) named "whatever-you-want." This share is what you will use for host path. You can name your shares whatever you want, the only important thing is that the host paths are linked to to the docker paths with the correct information.Ī standard template for Radarr has your ports, media path, download path, config, and backup path. Your issue is that your missing a foundational understanding on how docker containers work. ![]() I will watch it in a bit and report back! *Edit: Automod linked the guides I am using, but I missed the video. Sorry if these have been answered, i am having a heck of a time. Additionally this guide has additional path mapping that spaceinvader1 does not mention?Īdditionally when I am looking at a template, Sonarr for example how do I differentiate which host path is the container path vs the host path? It seems the templates dont differentiate host vs container. My concern is that this guide has the user create a "data" share as opposed to the "downloads" share spaceinvader1 suggests. I also located another guide that was create a week ago linked below. Are these still the go-to source for setting these containers up? I have watched spaceinaver1 videos but they seem to be from 2017-ish. I ahve recently gotten my unraid server built and while I am beginning to explore I am getting conflicting information on how to get the Sonarr, Radarr, and Plex apps up and running.
