  • I went for the ASRock J5040 board, 16gb ram (yes it works) a 500gb m.2 as system using a PCI adapter , 2x4tb ironwolf as ZFS mirror pool, 350 W power supply all in the node 304 fractal case for 550 euro.

    Runs proxmox as hypervisor for VM or Container. 6 LXC running motioneye, plex, pyload with openvpn, syncthing, rclone cloud backup and openbookshelf.

    Typical power usage is around 20W







  • If your concern is booting USB for unraid the
    solution is to sacrifice at least one of your drives
    as a boot drive, or if you have the room get a pair
    of small SAS drives and configure a raid 1 vol in
    the perc controller.

    AFAIK the USB is the dongle that unraid runs at all. You have to boot from it. After the boot its loaded into the RAM. But without the USB drive you cannot boot at all.

    That is why I followed the proxmox route.






  • You could make the check with your ID card in a way that a middle ware reads the card and just gives the ok signal to the site. No personal data is transfered outside .

    I use an lvl 3 smardcard reader for things like this. NFC on the ID is checked, PIN entered in the reader and the middle ware verifies that you are sitting at the PC.

    In the moment of request you can see what data is transfered because to use this service they have to be verified by the middle ware service as well in advance for access to the process.
