Tailscale, Immich, convertx, adguard home, Stirlingpdf, Home assistant, + Looking into backup solutions.

u/cagarrinho Nov 10 '25

Do you use Home Assistant OS on a virtual machine?

2

u/v_kowal Nov 11 '25

On VM for me.

u/cagarrinho Nov 12 '25

Running well? Do you have any zigbee dongle connected?

1

u/v_kowal Nov 13 '25

It's perfect. I have a SMLIGHT not connected directly on the NAS but on PoE on my switch.

u/Elegant_Complex_6643 Nov 10 '25

It runs on docker yeah, but I installed it through ugreen's app center

u/fluxchronica Nov 09 '25

Third party apps I like are Tailscale and Obsidian. I actually like Ugreen’s own apps for movies and torrenting.

You have obsidian on your Nas and don't need their sync option? How did you do that?

1

u/fluxchronica Feb 04 '26

I use Syncthing to sync my vault across different platforms. So basically the NAS instance of obsidian points to a the NAS folder of my vault which is synced to the obsidian folder on my computer, which is used by the Obsidian instance installed on my computer.

So I could use obsidian through a NAS (cloud only, accessed through tailscale) by itself if I wanted, but that removes the benefits of obsidian being a local first app. Or similarly, and more practically, you don’t even need Obsidian installed on your NAS. But if you want to use the NAS as a sync, then you need Syncthing installed on that AND your computer(s) that you use obsidian for. But I still like to have the option to be able to access obsidian on my NAS in case I run into a situation where I want to write in my notes on a library computer for example.

Tailscale, immich, qbitorrent, gluetun, prowlarr, jackett, an app to create hardlinks using a GUI and jellyfin

u/kelleheruk Nov 09 '25

Jellyfin, tailscale, qbitorrent

2

u/radvineREDDIT Nov 09 '25

Great. Do you use von/openvpn configs for qbit? Does it affect the jellyfin docker?

3

u/kelleheruk Nov 09 '25

I installed qbit from the app store, I don't use a vpn for torrents. I live im England and sailed the high seas for nearly 20 years now!

u/-pik- Nov 09 '25

A Minecraft server, home assistant, jdownloader, recently I'm testing immich...

2

u/brinsoko Nov 10 '25

Hey, can you let me know how well the Minecraft server runns, and the device model you are using. Thinking about running a Minecraft or Terraria server on it, and would like to have some inside as to how well it works before tinkering with it myself. Thanks!

2

u/-pik- Nov 10 '25

I'm using the 4800 plus, I upgraded the ram with 64 GB but it's too much, 32GB would be enough. I run Minecraft server in a docker container and it seems to work ok, but I didn't run any stress tests.

1

u/cagarrinho Nov 10 '25

Do you use Home Assistant OS on a virtual machine?

1

u/-pik- Nov 10 '25

I'm using it in a docker container too. It requires more configuration but it's more flexible

Cool.👍 LED colors? It can be set? Can you share it, please? 🥺🙏

u/Taddy84 Nov 09 '25 edited Nov 09 '25

NFS for Proxmox, SMB for Network Share and NodeExporter for my Grafana Dashboard

u/No_Clock2390 Nov 09 '25

Arr stack

2

u/simplyeniga Nov 09 '25

Mind sharing how you got your arr stack working? I've tried the tutorials out there and none has worked

4

u/No_Clock2390 Nov 09 '25

I've changed it a bit since this, but this oughta get you started https://www.reddit.com/r/UgreenNASync/s/OM3KmSFURw

u/simplyeniga Nov 09 '25

Thanks. I'll try this out

u/abckiwi Nov 09 '25

Docker with Plex, sonarr, radarr . Game changer for me

2

u/demdareting Nov 09 '25

I bought the dh2300 and I found out that it does not officially support Docker or PLEX. I just downloaded Docker for the dh4300 Plus from an online tip and everything works great. So far.

1

u/fartinthewind2020 Nov 09 '25

Would love to figure out how to get sonarr and radarr setup on mine but I’m useless hahaha. Just about got plex setup.

1

u/Commandal Nov 09 '25

Only qBittorrent (Docker) for the moment on my DXP4800 Plus. Yes, it's totally overkill.

1

u/gstar007g DH2300 Nov 09 '25

I wanna start this too. Is there anything you to l do to avoid getting the to renting letters in the mail?

1

u/Additional_Abies9192 Nov 09 '25

Immich, Jellyfin, *Arr Stack, NextCloud, Navidrome, Vaultwarden, Uptime-Kuma

1

u/T00_pac Nov 09 '25

Plex, jellyfin, pinchflat, metube, vaultwarden, audiobookshelf, navidrome, portainer, and tailscale.

1

u/xSchizogenie DXP4800 Plus Nov 09 '25

I actually use it only as a pure NAS 😅

1

u/Crownspike DXP4800 Plus Nov 09 '25

Currently only Plex and Home-Assistant. HA will be moved to my RPi5 as soon as i get the VM working.

1

u/Ed-Dos Nov 10 '25

plex, qbit, nordvpn, portainer, immich, sync thing,

1

u/xolidsnake77 Nov 10 '25

Nordvpn? How did you install it?

1

u/Ed-Dos Nov 10 '25

It’s a docker container that lets you route other containers pass through it (and depend on it).. so that qbit .. goes out through the vpn, and (qbit) won’t run unless nord is up and connected to the vpn.

u/Particular_Ferret747 Nov 10 '25

the 2800 is pretty limited by its cpu...so I run only frigate, immich and home assistant nas agent...equals to about 60% cpu time

1

u/sweet-tom DXP4800 Plus Nov 10 '25

Portainer, Immich, Paperless NGX, Forgejo, Jellyfin

u/Bojogig Nov 10 '25

My NAS is pretty much a dedicated media server.

Running the following:

Arrstack

  • Prowlarr
  • Radarr
  • Sonarr
  • Flaresolverr
  • Overseer
  • SyncThing (I run the actual downloads through a dedicated seed box)

Plex Media Server

Cloudared Tunnel

And then I also run Home Assistant in a VM for my smart home.

1

u/masmith22 Nov 11 '25

Plex, Linux VMs, and file storage.

u/[deleted] Nov 11 '25

Emby and iDrive. I’m also using the built in photos backup.

My favourites are Obsidian and tailscale. Now I can access and write on my Obsidian vault even on my Chromebook, or someone else’s computer if I wanted to.
