r/Snapraid

I downloaded snapraid-14.4-windows-x64.zip, unzipped it, and double clicked the exe files, but they immediately close. What am I doing wrong?

I've just tried the new Daemon for the first time. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get the disk spindown timer to work at all.

While I can manually put all drives in my setup into standby with hdparm -y /dev/sd*, they just keep spinning after the 10 minutes set in the Snapraid Daemon UI have passed.

Does the daemon need another dependency besides hdparm for this to work?

I've just installed the new SnapRAID Daemon for the first time but can't seem to access the web UI, even though the deamon seems to be running:

I've tried both using http://localhost:7627 as well as calling the local ip directly http://192.168.2.115:7627. The CLI and daemon are running on a fresh install of Ubuntu Server 26.04.

I really want to employ this for large amounts of Data. But I'm so worried I'm not doing everything right.

Been going over YouTube, and Manual.

Is there anyone here who'd be willing to talk this through with more experience? Would love to pay someone for their time.

I am using Windows 11, want to use backblaze also. I am learning a Mix of the CLI, Elucidate, and also trying to understand what the Daemon does and doesn't do.
