Happiness is a rebuilt, and now silent, @unraid.net server and some nerdy as fuck, bit-perfect audio streaming with Linux before tea. I do sometimes miss having sex though.

Your Server. Your Data. Your AI. All Local! Ed breaks down how to integrate Ollama and Paperless-ngx for: ✅ Vision-based OCR for handwritten notes. ✅ Automatic tagging using local models. ✅ 100% Privacy: Your data isn’t used for training.

Docker containers are like isolated little islands. 🏝️ They can't see your server's files unless you build a bridge. Ed demonstrates this by looking inside a container's file system vs. the Unraid OS. Totally different worlds.

Think of Docker containers like video games. 🎮 The Container = The install files (Replaceable) The Appdata = Your Save File (Irreplaceable!) 💾 Ed explains why understanding "Persistent Data" is critical for your #Unraid server (and where to find it in Settings).

I really enjoyed chatting with Ed. If you’re building an @unraid.net server, his videos are incredibly helpful.

Internal Boot is on the way! We’re adding more ways to launch Unraid. 🚀 Ed is showing off the new feature (and crucially, how to partition so you don't waste a whole NVMe doing it).

Internal Boot is on the way= No more USB anxiety. You can even partition a NVMe, use 8GB for the OS, and keep the rest for storage/cache. Pretty slick implementation. Ed walks through the migration, pool setup, and more here: 📺 www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_jo...

⚠️ RAM scams are on the rise. Fake sticks, shady returns and moves= and deals that are too good. We talk about it (and more) on the latest Uncast episode. 📺 www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxgD... 🎧https://podcasts.apple.com/gt/podcast/the-uncast-show/id1566634831?l=en-GB&i=1000744200140

Not a proper year-in-review, but worth mentioning why I've been quiet recently I finally decided to bite the bullet and finally organize all my data, starting with building an Unraid server out of my old PC (my very first custom built PC from 2016)

@liss.bsky.social I’m sure you’ve gotten this a bunch but: Unraid is a very good drop-in replacement for Synology. I run all of my docker containers therein and (a) the SSD cache drive makes my 10g network worth it, and (b) Homeassistant’s matter container can run alongside it.

To the community that makes self-hosting fun: Thank you for an incredible 2025! ✨ Between our 20th Anniversary and the Unraid 7 launch, it’s been a busy year. We’re heading into 2026 with big plans! See the full recap here: newsletter.unraid.net/p/unraid-202...

Happy Holidays! Even Santa trusts Unraid to keep things running smoothly 🎅
