Client: Personal project

Project Description: This project involved setting up a mini datacenter and running UnraidOS on it with various services in the form of Docker containers. Date: January 2, 2023

Project:

In this project, I built a server from scratch by choosing the various components. Once that was done, I installed the Unraid OS operating system and configured various services on it. This server is equipped with two 14TB disks, with 1 disk dedicated to parity. Therefore, there are 14TB usable on this mini Datacenter, and this can be easily increased. Additionally, this Datacenter has a 2TB cache in the form of NVME SSD flash memory.

A second 2TB cache disk will be added soon for redundancy, as well as a third 14TB disk to increase the usable volume from 14TB to 28TB.

In this project, there are multiple services running as Docker containers.
