Looking to Build Your Very First unRAID Server?
I'm gonna tell about my experience with Unraid:

Wanted to use it for Jellyfin, Syncthing, Pi-Hole, and so on.
So i'm a noob, but i am willing to read (a lot).
So before i ordered the trial key i read the wiki and saw the spaceinvaderone videos on youtube.

Jellyfin: the only video on how to install jellyfin on unraid was i think an indian guy. It was quick to install and it worked locally.

Then came the part to access the jellyfin remotely. No videos on it on youtube. Googled "how to access jellyfin remotely on unraid" - nothing. Spaceinvaderone had one video on letsencrypt on unraid, so i tried to follow it: well, letsencrypt is now swag. So i installed that and copied the settings from the video over to swag (there's a video explaining how to do it). Didn't work... Tried so many times that i didn't have more tries on letsencrypt certificates LOL

So asked on the swag unraid forum: "i don't have time to explain this...." was the answer. Read... Yeah! Read, but where? On the official jellyfin website nothing... Ok, docker container, docker compose... I am a noob, remember? And i am using unraid, so i expected to use the unraid gui.... Gave up.

Tried syncthing. Exactly the same thing.

So as a noob in order to use unraid i have to:

1- do a linux course
2- an unraid course
3- a docker course
4- a course about each and every app i want to install and use....

Because there are no tutorials cattered towards people with less experience. Hell, some tutorials i find online are like this:

A complex command you are supposed to enter in the terminal, right? But the things you are supposed to replace by your own values are not in bold, or in another colour. All in black, great!

The result: installed ubuntu. Had to read a ton of tutorials (they exist! A ton of them for ubuntu!!!!), had a lot to mess around im the terminal... But everything is working great.

Really disappointes by unraid and it's (lack of) support
