Upgrade Your Home Server Game with Unraid (And Use Twingate to Make It Even Better)
Blog post from Twingate
Unraid revolutionizes home server setups by prioritizing flexibility and simplicity over raw performance, thus eliminating common frustrations like mismatched drives and complex service management. Unlike traditional RAID systems that require identical drives and risk total data loss if one drive fails, Unraid allows for the integration of drives of varying sizes and ensures that only data on the failed drive is lost, preserving the rest of the array. It consolidates multiple services into a single system with Docker container support and VM capabilities, drastically reducing complexity and space consumption. Additionally, Unraid simplifies storage expansion without the need for complete array rebuilds, aligning with how users acquire storage opportunistically. The integration of Twingate's Community App offers secure, zero-trust remote access to Unraid servers, eliminating the need for cumbersome VPN setups and enhancing accessibility without compromising security. This combination ensures that home infrastructure can grow sustainably with user needs, providing both power and ease of use.
