Tune in to the Uncast Show

Install Home Assistant on your Unraid server for free, no extra hardware needed. This episode covers VM setup, a full tour of the interface, and your first automation: a Find My Phone button that gets through silent mode on iPhone.

Ed Rawlings sits down with Unraid CEO Tiffany Jones for an honest look at the company behind the OS: growing up around Unraid, splitting the business with her father Tom, staying bootstrapped with no investors, and what she'll always protect.

Unraid creator Tom and product director Eli join Uncast to look back on 20 years of Unraid, then ahead to Unraid 8: a Fedora base, native Docker Compose, built-in backups, and a plugin permission system, without losing what users love.

Emby sits quietly between Plex and Jellyfin, and most people forget it exists. This guide installs Emby on Unraid: libraries, users, remote access, and hardware transcoding, start to finish.

How many 4K streams can your server handle? We break down software vs hardware transcoding, then run a benchmark container testing your CPU, iGPU and GPU against a community leaderboard.

On July's edition: the Unraid container you couldn't live without, the summer sale, and a news roundup covering malware, Sony deleting purchased movies, GTA 6's code-in-a-box, and PlayStation dropping discs.

A full hands-on review of the X15, the first 45HomeLab x Unraid Signature Series server. We unbox it, walk through every component, set up ZFS storage, and benchmark transcoding speed.

If your Unraid server died tomorrow, would you rebuild it exactly, or clean house? Ed and Stefano dig into backups, appdata creep, Docker Compose, AI news, and Claude SSH access.

Run your own private AI assistant on Unraid, no subscription, nothing leaving your house. We install Ollama and Open WebUI, pick a model for your hardware, and add document chat.
