Running Unraid provides you lots of methods to broaden your home server beyond file storage and media streaming. Each month, brand-new apps appear in the Community Applications brochure, bringing brand-new methods to utilize your server.
These 5 apps were contributed to Community Applications this month. They cover whatever from modifying videos in a web browser to establishing S3-compatible storage, however each deserves taking a look at if you wish to get more out of your home server.
FilmCraft: modify videos in your internet browser
A browser-based video editor for your home server
FilmCraft is a video editor you can access through your internet browser. It runs inside a Selkies web desktop, so you can open the editor from another computer system without setting up a VNC customer or a video modifying application in your area.
Its user interface looks a lot like Premiere Pro, with source, clip, and program displays, media bins, a multitrack timeline, and adjustable keyboard faster ways. You get three-point modifying, cutting tools, color grading with scopes, keyframed impacts, audio combining with volume meters, and tools for including titles and captions. It likewise supports formats and codecs such as H. 264, ProRes, HEVC decoding, and AV1 decoding.
FilmCraft is still in alpha, so anticipate some constraints. Big video files can take a while to procedure since color grading and exports count on the CPU, and rendering usages software application rendering through Mesa. You can not open Premiere Pro .prproj tasks straight, although you can import series through FCP7 XML, AAF, or OpenTimelineIO.
Prunerr: keep your Plex library under control
Recover storage from media no one sees
If you have actually been running Plex for a couple of years, there is a great chance your library consists of motion pictures and television programs no one has actually seen in ages. I understand how simple it is to keep downloading media due to the fact that you may view it one day, just to find that your storage swimming pool is filling with forgotten files.
Prunerr assists you tidy up that library by using guidelines to your media collection. You might flag motion pictures that have actually gone unwatched for 6 months and inhabit more than 20 GB of storage. It can check out seeing history from Plex or Tautulli, get rid of media through Sonarr and Radarr, and send out alerts through Discord. A control panel likewise tracks just how much area you recover with time.
The removal line is especially helpful since flagged media can wait on your approval before elimination. You can evaluate the proposed clean-up before anything gets erased, which is assuring when your library consists of films or programs you would rather keep.
I would begin with conservative clean-up guidelines and examine the removal line routinely. There is little point in recovering 500 GB if the procedure inadvertently eliminates a series you were conserving for later on. As soon as you are comfy with the guidelines, you can slowly automate more of the clean-up and invest less time finding out which submits to erase.
OpenChamber: host your AI coding work space
Gain access to coding representatives from any web browser on your network
If you utilize AI coding representatives, OpenChamber supplies a browser-based work area for running and evaluating coding jobs (web-based UI for OpenCode). You can access it from another computer system on your network rather of keeping whatever connected to a terminal session on your primary workstation.
OpenChamber supports password security through a launch flag. Configure it before making the user interface available beyond your regional network, and examine the readily available remote-access choices before allowing any tunnels. You need to likewise inspect which directory sites the application can gain access to, especially if your server shops individual files along with advancement tasks.
OpenChamber can be truly beneficial if you routinely deal with coding representatives and wish to look at a job from another maker without going back to your desktop. You might keep your advancement work area on the server and gain access to it from a laptop computer whenever you require to evaluate development.
Clewis Free Games Claimer: claim totally free video games immediately
Develop a video gaming stockpile without examining every shop
I have a practice of declaring totally free video games even when I understand completely well that I most likely will not play them anytime quickly. If you are anything like me, your Epic Games Store library most likely consists of video games you declared years earlier and have yet to launch. The genuine inconvenience is keeping in mind to declare them before a free gift ends, especially when numerous shops run promos at the very same time.
Clewis Free Games Claimer automates declaring totally free video games from the Epic Games Store, Amazon Prime Gaming, and GOG. You supply the needed shop qualifications through environment variables, and the container design template supports two-factor authentication through an OTP secret.
In my experience, the Epic Games Store combination does not work especially well since of CAPTCHA difficulties that can avoid the container from declaring video games immediately. Prime Gaming and GOG appear to be less impacted, so I would examine the logs after each go to make certain the claims go through.
I believe this is an enjoyable little task if you gather complimentary video games throughout numerous shops. Your server can manage the recurring work while you proceed with something else, and you can keep developing that stockpile without inspecting every store by hand.
JuiceFS: supply S3-compatible storage from your server
Offer your applications an item storage endpoint
S3-compatible storage works for more than cloud releases. Backup tools, self-hosted applications, and custom-made scripts typically support the S3 API, and JuiceFS lets you explore an object-storage endpoint on your home network.
JuiceFS separates file metadata from file contents. Metadata is kept in a database, while file information is kept in a things shop. The unRAID design template runs the JuiceFS S3 entrance, permitting suitable applications and scripts on your network to check out and compose information through an S3-compatible user interface.
I would begin with JuiceFS if I had an application that needed S3-compatible storage and wished to evaluate the combination in your area before dedicating to a bigger release. Simply keep in mind that offering an S3 endpoint does not immediately provide you off-site backups, redundancy, or security versus unexpected removal. Those depend upon your underlying storage setup and backup method.
Which unRAID app should you set up?
The very best option depends upon what you desire your home server to do. Personally, I would begin with whichever app resolves an issue I currently have instead of set up all 5 even if they are offered. Every extra service brings setup, updates, storage requirements, and another thing to fix when something breaks. Choose one, get it working correctly, and see whether it makes a long-term put on your server.
