Software

This time I wanted to give TrueNAS (formerly FreeNAS) a try. Later, after some struggle with migration and reading into it, I chose Unraid instead.

Unraid (https://www.unraid.net/)

General: Install accoding to doc
- Important: The "USB Creator" tool needs to be set accordingly to enable UEFI boot. (Otherwise it does not boot at all)
Subfolder Samba Shares: Unraid User shares are all created at /mnt/user/NAME. I wanted a folder media that can be passed to e.g. Emby Docker, but wanted a fine control which subfolders are visible in Samba. Adding /boot/config/smb-extra.conf:
```
[movies]
    path = /mnt/user/media/movies
    read only = Yes
[series]
    path = /mnt/user/media/series
    read only = Yes
[import]
    path = /mnt/user/media/import 
    writeable = yes
    browseable = no
```
Then smbcontrol smbd reload-config (Might still require a reboot)
Plugins:
- Community Applications (CA) Provides a damn lot of nice applications (executables, scripts and docker recipes).
IPMI:
- Manuall set FAN speed: ipmitool raw 0x30 0x70 0x66 0x01 0x00 0x32

Emby

Beloved Media Center and competitor of Plex.

Installed EmbyServerBeta via CA as a Docker.

JDownloader2

JD with remote control via my.jdownloader.org

Installed via CA as a Docker.

Secure Web Application Gateway (swag)

Allows to tunnel applications through https quite easily.

Important I added swag and all "apps" it should utilize to the same Docker Network "Custom: cdocknet".

Installed via CA as a Docker.
- Specifiy all Subdomains/domains you need and point them to the server address (using DynDNS and port forwarding in my Router). swag handles the certificate setup.

Emby

/appdata/swag/nginx/proxy-confs/emby.subdomain.conf

server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    listen [::]:443 ssl;
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;

    server_name emby.*;

    include /config/nginx/ssl.conf;

    client_max_body_size 0;

    location / {
        include /config/nginx/proxy.conf;
        include /config/nginx/resolver.conf;
        set $upstream_app EmbyServerBeta;
        set $upstream_port 8096;
        set $upstream_proto http;
        proxy_pass $upstream_proto://$upstream_app:$upstream_port;

        proxy_set_header Range $http_range;
        proxy_set_header If-Range $http_if_range;
    }
}

Firefox SyncServer

/appdata/swag/nginx/proxy-confs/firefoxsyncserver.subdomain.conf

server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    listen [::]:443 ssl;

    server_name fxsync.*;

    include /config/nginx/ssl.conf;

    client_max_body_size 0;

    location / {
        include /config/nginx/proxy.conf;
        include /config/nginx/resolver.conf;
        set $upstream_app FirefoxSyncserver;
        set $upstream_port 5000;
        set $upstream_proto http;
        proxy_pass $upstream_proto://$upstream_app:$upstream_port;
    }
}

Firefox SyncServer

I hosted my syncserver instance on a very cheap hosting plan, seperated from all my other hosting, but recently they decided to increase prices, therefore considered moving it to the NAS.
