I just installed Unraid on my 11 year old QNAP TS-869 Pro - and it works great. Boots from USB stick and leaves QTS fully in tact.
Anyhoo ... I use this device as a backup device, so I can backup data from one QNAP to another at night. QTS being bloated as it is, and me being curious for new stuff, decided to give Unraid a try, and it works very well on the TS-869.
A few wake up, sleep and WOL things took me a little effort to figure out.
Go to sleep after 60 minutes of being inactive (disks in the array, and network traffic)
Enable Wake On LAN
Wake up at 3 AM so it would be ready for receiving rsync backups from my other QNAP
Plugin
Plugin I used (in Unraid, find them under "Apps"):
Go to sleep after 60 minutes of being inactive, and enabling WOL
Under "Settings" - "User utilities", you'll find "Sleep Settings".
Settings I've used:
Execute function: Sleep Excluded days: None Excluded hours: None Wait for array inactivity: Yes Device activity monitoring: Status & counters Monitor disks outside array: None Extra delay after array inactivity: 30 Wait for network inactivity: Yes Ethernet interface: eth0 Network idle threshold: Medium traffic [100 kb/s] Wait for host inactivity (IP address): no host Wait for user login inactivity: No Set WOL options before sleep: g Custom commands before sleep: <script - see below for details> Custom commands after wake-up: Enter custom commands here Force gigabit speed after wake-up: No DHCP renewal after wake-up: No Enable DEBUG mode: No
Wake up at 3 AM
Source: I modified my script a tiny bit from what I had found in this forum post.
Script:
time=03:00
now=$(date +%s)
other=$(date -d $time +%s)
if [ $now -ge $other ]
then
echo `date '+%s' --date='tomorrow 03:00:00'` > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm
else
echo `date '+%s' --date='today 03:00:00'` > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm
fi
Notes:
Of course, change "time=3:00" to the time you have in mind,
make sure to post this in the "Custom commands before sleep" field, and
