I'm running unRAID on an HP Microserver stuffed with 4TB drives and a cache SSD today. Now that I'm working from home, I have grown tired of the noise, even though it's not that loud. Also, I'm only using 650GB of the 12TB on the array. I love the Docker capabilities and the Community Apps "store" included with unRAID.

I also have a NUC with 256GB M.2 and a 2TB SATA SSD that I was planning to build out Ubuntu and run Docker with Portainer to manage containers. That's turned out to be a lot more work to maintain and manually set up containers compared to the experience on unRAID.

I'd like to try to run unRAID on the NUC but with no real array to speak of; no parity disk etc. I don't care too much about the data on my array now as it's mostly media that can be re-obtained if necessary. Does anyone have experience running unRAID in this fashion or alternative recommendations for a simpler, more streamlined container management experience?

Many thanks!
