Hey everyone,

Wondering if there’s a way to utilize the Nasync DH2300 without being connected to the internet at all. Can I direct connect with my laptop and browse files locally? Basically, I’m taking my NAS to a place where I have no internet connection but would like to access the media stored on it to watch movies.

Thanks in advance

Want to monitor my Solar Panel Hardware on Home Assistant on a NAS. Which is better? But the discount on the Plus is insane isnt it?

I finally bought a UGREEN to update my out of date NAS and get rid of my mini PC hosting Home Assistant.

I currently run HA on a mini PC which is FAR too powerful for what I need and is unnecessary. Is there a simple way I can migrate my HA setup from the mini PC to the NAS when time comes?

Also, any good tutorials out there to fully automate a plex setup? I am hoping to eventually get a system where the girl (or someone else) can just text or message something and it’ll fetch media automatically. I’m sick of being a middle man.

Goodbye Synology.

There are quite a few threads on how to migrate Apps and Docker Containers from HDD to M.2 SSD for various benefits, such as snappy response times, storing most use files and media on SSDs and less wear and tear on HDDs since they can go to sleep more often.

However, is it also possible to migrate pre-installed UGOS Pro Apps like Files, Control Panel, etc. from HDD to M.2 SSD, in order to reap from some of the same benefits?

And if so, what’s the safest and cleanest way to do this without having to remove the HDDs, and do a fresh install just on the SSDs?

Or is it not possible and moot because the pre-installed UGOS Pro Apps like Files, Control Panel, etc. are actually installed on the relatively fast pre-installed 128GB SSD, just like UGOS Pro and thus considered core to the NAS operation and thus cannot be moved to M.2 SSD?

Thanks!

As the title says, I would like to buy a DXP4800Pro and have 2 drives striping and two other mirroring the RAID 0 ones?

Is it possible to do and how risky it would be to my data, since I have a lot of important stuff to save.

Thanks in advance

Hello, I am completely new to NASs, and I got a UGREEN NASync DXP2800 just over a week ago, and it currently has a WD120EDAZ 12TB Hard Drive I shucked from an external drive. I just checked my storage usage, and it claims 2.5TB usage of the 10.8TB available space, but when I look at my storage usage, I'm only using 376.7 gigabytes. Is this normal, and there's some OS or system stuff that uses or claims 2 Terabytes of my drive, or is something up here?

I also downloaded all of the apps on the App Centre and ran them at least once. Could this have something to do with it?

Updates: Usage dropped to 2.4TB for seemingly no reason.
Scanned, according to the software, the drive is 'Normal', and the scan results are 'Good'.

Checked file versioning; it wasn't doing anything as far as I can tell, but I did disable them, and my media library and 'Other' section of Data went down, but not the big 2.3ish TB that are unaccounted for.

Hi I have a 4800+, with a Docker project for Paperless-NGX running. The last (not the latest Docker app update, I still haven't updated to that yet because of this previous issue) broke my Paperless container, as far as I could make out it lost permissions to write to the postgres folder in the paperless data folder.

I couldn't get it fixed myself and just remade the container which reset all the paperless settings/tags/storage paths etc. All the actual ingested documents were still fine and accessible in the nas. I only had a couple of hundred documents in the paperless system so it didn't take very long to set up the file syste, and tags etc again

So there's a way to backup the paperless database but it uses the command line and I haven't figured out how to use that properly yet on the UGreen

Now there's a new Docker app update and the Paperless container has an update pending and I'd like to try and get a backup of the paperless database done properly before updating either of those.

I found this thread here ( https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/vdvs7c/how_to_backup_paperlessngx/ ) where people were able to get it to work in both Unraid and Synology, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do it with the Ugreen successfully. I've tried SSH into the Ugreen proper and trying the commands in the docker config folders for paperless, and the document storage folders. I also tried using the Terminal option in the individual paperless containers and still can't get the database exporter command to work.

Does anyone have any experience with this that could give me some steps on how to do this please? I'm not super savy with this stuff and tend not to tinker with the containers/settings once they're working

Any help/pointers would be very much appreciated

Logged into my DXP4800 NAS today, noticed that some apps were missing like Jellyfin, Docker, etc. Tried to update Docker and it kept failing to update. Rebooted my NAS and now its no longer seeing my m.2 SSD. This means my Volume 2 is missing, so all my installed apps are now showing "Error" instead of Disabled and/or Update in app centre.

I'm relatively new to NAS, never had this problem occur before, so looking for some help in trying to recover my m.2 drive and the docker container for my Jellyfin.

EDIT: Did some research and looks like it can handle a migration. UGREEN KB

The DXP4800 Pro has a lighting deal on Amazon right now (no regrets) and I'm planning to move my existing drives over from my DXP2800.

Currently running 2x 8TB Seagate Ironwolf in RAID 1 on the 2800. The plan is to pull both drives and drop them into the 4800 Pro.

Has anyone done a drive migration between DXP models? Specifically wondering:

• Will the 4800 Pro recognize and import the existing RAID 1 array automatically, or will it treat the drives as new and want to initialize them?
• Is there anything I should do before swapping to avoid losing the volume?
• Any gotchas I should know about?

I do plan on backing up the important stuff before I touch anything, but backup and restore on 8TB takes a lot longer than a clean hot swap, so if migration is known to work reliably I'd love to know before I commit to the longer route.

Appreciate any experience people have with this.

Have a localish deal that could get me the used one, or do I go with tried and true microcenter? For me, the main purpose of a NAS is photo and doc backup, as well as audio and video for jellyfin. Is 32gb necessary for streaming?

It's now cheaper buying a whole DXP NAS (including a few drives) and using the integrated Theater App than getting a Plex lifetime Pass. UGREEN should be able to make a few funny ads with this.

Hi,
I have been using google drive for the longest time, then when I fully dived into Apple ecosystem I started using predominantly Apple Icloud, and now that I have the NAS, I just wished they were all 3 in constant sync so I am sure I have my files available anywhere for any uses (some use case google drive is better, some other icloud is better...)

I've configured the Cloud Drive app of my Ugreen NAS to sync the Google Drive, but unfortunately, I've waiting for an update to include iCloud, and it doesn't seem to happen...

I know there is a docker container that could do it, but then it feels a bit clunky to have one app to sync one side, another one sync the other side....

I can't possibly be the only who want that, so how everyone else is doing it ?
Thank you

Hi everyone,

I’d like to get your opinions and feedback regarding “best practices” for deploying Docker containers on a NAS.

First of all, I haven’t managed to allow Docker management access to a regular “user” account. I can fine-tune permissions for directories, but Docker management itself (the app) is only accessible to “admin” accounts.

So for now, Docker is managed by an admin account, which gives it (and especially the containers) more privileges than necessary. That said, I only bind the strictly necessary directories and resources.

How can I make this setup cleaner and more secure?

I imagine the simplest solution would be to create dedicated users, but to what extent?

• One user per stack?
• One user for Docker in general?

I can refine permissions for directories, but not for Docker management itself, so I’m a bit lost.

Thanks in advance!

First off, has anyone received any word on shipping or are we all waiting for an update?

Second, has anyone had any issues that they’re currently facing with the pre-order or didn’t get made right? I’m still trying to get a feel for the company as this entire process has been chaos.

Anyone?

I'm struggling to find the logs for my Cyber power UPS . There is no logs in the GUI that I can find and I can't seem to find where to look in the backend and would appreciate any help.
