I seriously doubt it.
Not a lot of CPU for what they're being asked to do, with presumably a Linux software RAID implementation to run. Reviews of the UNAS seemed to suggest it was sufficient though, so who knows.
Running the smaller boxes off PoE+++ feels like a gimmick, especially as no Ubiquiti switches support persistent PoE.

Recently swapped out a 8-PoE-150W for a Flex 2.5G 8 poe.
I have two computers on ports 1 & 2 with identical port configuration, and I use Mouse without Borders to use both computers at once (dev and test machines) on a single monitor. Have used this setup for years without problem on the old switch.
Nothing has changed from the old switch. Both are configured on the same vlan with tagged traffic allowed. I keep getting problems resolving the ip address of my second machine. Going back to the old switch for testing purposes, there are no issues. Could I somehow have a switch with a bum port? The thought literally just occurred to me to try a different port on the (new) switch so I'll do that now, but any thoughts as to what could be wrong?

Dumb question. I'm trying to add SSL/HTTPS to accessing my UGREEN NAS (browser) but I need to make a port forward rule in Unifi for 443 and 80. However I already have rules for this for my Emby server, and that was an effort to do the same thing so I don't really want to tinker with the Emby stuff again. Any suggestions, can you have more than one instance for the same port or can I use alternative ports for the UGREEN rule?
You'd need to use different External ports.
The alternative is to use a reverse proxy (e.g. Traefik or Nginx), expose that to the internet, and then have that deal with the different services. (Or use a VPN to access your network and then access them as if you were local)
You shouldn't really be exposing ports to the internet.
As above, use a reverse proxy or VPN. Or you can use a Cloudflare Tunnel which is free.
Thanks for taking one for the team! I don't think they can be used as NVR, as much as that makes sense. I think all you could do is manually archive from Protect to the NAS.
The desktop NAS look good value, but I have everything in a rack so the 1U version is what I would like. Just have to put some money aside as I also want to start using some newer hard drives. Current HDDs are 10 years old I think. I do have on-site and off-site backups but feeling like that's borrowed time on the current NAS (a self-built ZFS pool on a Ubuntu machine in a 2U case!).
Thank you, as part of the guide, you have to install Nginx which I have. It isn't working as per guide but I think that's because it's set up for 443/80 and I don't have a port forwarding sorted (step 8). Though I notice for step 12, it's port 9999.
Thanks, it's not want for trying. I'm just not good at this kind of stuff, have tried a bunch of guides but usually something doesn't match up/goes wrong (Caddy reverse proxy for Emby and tailscale VPN for immich were successes). Back to the drawing board for this.
I would look at Cloudflare tunnels. Very basic steps:
- Create account on Cloudflare
- Register domain
- Create Cloudflare Zero Trust tunnel, copy token
- Install cloudflared container locally - https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared
- Register the token in the web UI of the container
- In CF Zero Trust put in someservice.domain.name and put in local IP/port
Few guides on it: https://mythofechelon.co.uk/blog/20...ee-secure-high-quality-remote-access-for-plex
If you're exposing services, this is a good option and secure. If you need secure remote access, consider a VPN.
Take a step back and reconsider everything please - you shouldn't need multiple reverse proxies and a Tailscale VPN.
A single reverse proxy (e.g. your existing Caddy instance) should be able to handle multiple services, or your tailscale VPN - you shouldn't need both.
Ah I see. Might be worth explaining my set up/requirements:
- Emby server with family accessing it - currently running a caddy reverse proxy
- immich server (separate NAS machine) - tailscale but this is installed on my phone and immich is running on docker
- I want to add SSL/HTTPS for browser accessed services on my NAS as well as accessing my Unifi console through a browser
- All of this running through Unifi controller
I use Cloudflare Tunnel for Plex remote access, it's set and forget. Just disable caching as the blog I linked to mentions.
For stuff I don't want to expose, I run it behind an nginx proxy and I have a wildcard cert for my domain (which it automatically renews using a CF API token). I then have service1.domain.name, service2.domain.name etc pointing to all my own internal applications.

Thank you, am I remembering right there may be an issue with Cloudflare's TOS and the likes of Plex/Emby streaming?
The blog I linked to explains it well. Just disable caching as per the article and there's no issue.

Mines?
I have 12 hdds on it. 7 are hdd mechanical, 5 are ssd nvme and it idles at 70w. it has a SAS controller, a nvme expander controller and a 10gb Fibre NIC controller and runs truenas.
O and before you maon about electricty prices, thats approx 44p a day if runing for 24hours. Source: https://www.sust-it.net/energy-calc...1QLS76ElT6LGBky6G1gVigaD6e7ymy8qn1gioPg73uIv5 and https://smartmoneytools.co.uk/tools/energy-cost-calculator/
thats roughly a portion of fish and chips meal per month it costs to run.
Now ok ok my setup is on a mid tower desktop case as i dont care about the size of it and like the ease of use a way way way better airflow and quiet running, but you can easily just get a rackmount case to house more than 8 hdd's easily and use the same mobo, ram and cpu and get simialr efficently.
Dont sleep on desktop grade components....

Apparently they are hardware identical apart from the UNAS has 8gb ram as opposed to 4gb. I'll grab the UNVR and see what I can get for the UNAS Pro. Although its probably not worth the "upgrade"
