I set up unRAID on my server this weekend, and only just checked my logs to see if anything weird was happening. Turns out 2 IPs have been trying to brute-force the SSH password all weekend. I quickly installed the DenyHosts plugin and reminded myself to always use a strong password, which luckily I did.

A bit later now, and one of the 2 gave up, the other one keeps trying but of course the connection is refused. Just keep trying buddy :P

I have done some experiments on my server in the past. It's a great way to learn new things. However, I am bound to make some mistakes and over time the sever becomes messier and messier.

A week ago I installed UNRAID on my machine and I love it! I can now have my critical infrastructure live and working in docker containers and vms.

Then if I want to do an experiment I spin up a VM in a couple of minutes to do my thing and remove it when I am done. No traces left!

God I HATE UNRAID! FUCK THIS PIECE OF JUNK

CRASHING EVERY FEW FUCKING HOURS

AND. I. CANT. EVEN. GET. A. FUCKING. LOG. FILE! LIKE WHAT THE HELL!

Oh, its sooo reliable they said, use Unraid they said, the docker support is amazing, they said...

FUCK IT! FUCK THIS PIECE OF GARBAGE!

I JUST WANT TO RUN PLEX AND SONARR ON ONE FUCKING MACHINE, AND UNRAID IS JUST LIKE: yeah, its a good time to crash now, YEET!

and its gone...

Unraid, you piece of lovely SHIT...
I love that it has this really easy expandable storage pool, and the ease of installing plugins...

Plex runs perfect on it... so does sonarr (mostly)...

but why the loving FUCK did it have to crash every. 4. fucking. days.

oh... wait... im fucking retarded...

the USB stick I use isnt 32gb... its 64...

fuck...

FUCK THIS!

IM FUCKING OUT OF HERE!

Oh, and dont get me started on ZFS...
Please, use RAID instead of ZFS if you have a NAS... dont use ZFS... it wasnt made for this... it was made to run in enterprise enviroments... hell, even THE Enterprise...
