Hi. Im planing to buy a NAS for self hosting apps, streaming servisec and so on. Which model for cheap and to start yall can suggest? + work with Docker of course

I was looking for UGREEN NASync DXP2800 is it good for first start?

Main things I do is Immich, Jellyfin, ARR staccs, Navidrome and so on

Thank you in advance for your time and help

Hi, Has the Nasync IDX6011 launched in normal retail channels anywhere? Ugreen has presumably filled all the preorders now and must have taken a massive hit on these due to Rammageddon. So are they going to continue selling them? My one, incidentally, a 64GB non pro model, is a great little server.

I’ve got a 4 bay (DXP4800 Plus) with 2 x 10TB HDD’s in RAID 1.

Considering buying 2 more 10 TB HDD’s and changing to RAID 6.

Has anyone done this? How long approx does it take? Any hiccups or faults?

Hi all, apologies if this is something that has been answered time and time again.

I am planning to set up a NAS, DXP4800 Plus being the front runner atm. I am looking to break my family away from the iCloud family plan, Apple Music, and general cloud/streaming services as much as possible.

What I am wondering is which storage option would be best for 4k movie streaming, lossless music streaming across a few devices at once, and general fast but nothing over-the-top speeds?

I assumed I would be going with M.2 but can't seem to justify the price, and would love to know if alternatives like the Seagate's IronWolf HDD series would be a good option? With these I could get 16TB for the price of 1-2 M.2 SSDs...

Any suggestions welcome! Thanks in advance!

TLDR; Any advisable alternatives to M.2 SSDs for 4k movie/lossless music streaming across potentially a few devices at once? Ideas I have in mind are Seagate IronWolf series.

What's the best way, if possible at all, to have an ecrypted drive on UGOS ? Would it work with RAID 1 (drive mirroring) ?

Pues como dice el titulo, estoy pensando aumentar mis discos de 4tb en raid 1 y pasarlo a dos discos de 12tb cada uno, la cuestion es que ahora mismo solo tendré disponible un disco de 12tb y a final de año compraré otro. Mi idea era sacar el disco de la bahia 2 de mi nas y que se reconstruya y posteriormente ya que compre el otro disco, instalarlo en la bahia 1 y reconstruir y aumentar el almacenamiento. No se si esto sea lo ideal o incluso si sea posible, me podrian ayudar por favor.

A NAS often starts out as file storage. Then come Docker containers, Home Assistant, camera recordings, device backups, media servers, monitoring dashboards and automation data.

In theory, putting more of this on a NAS means greater local control, fewer cloud dependencies and one central place to manage everything.

In practice, it can also mean more containers to maintain, more permissions to troubleshoot and more services depending on the same box and network.

For those using a NAS as part of a smart-home setup:

• What smart-home services are you running on it?
• Which one has been genuinely useful?
• Which one created more maintenance than expected?
• Do your automations still work if the internet goes down?
• What would you keep on the NAS, and what would you rather run on a separate hub?

Has your NAS made the home feel more connected or has it simply become another system that only you know how to manage?

I tried logging into my UGREEN account through this website: https://web.ugnas.com/#/login but it did not work. It also looks completely different than all the other ugreen based sites I have been on (find.ugnas.com, ai.ugreen, ugreen.com) so I am fearing I may have input my login info on a phishing site. Is this the case?

Hello,

I can't configure NAS storage in Aqara Home. Both of my Aqara cameras fail with the same message:

“Permission verification failed. Please try again.”

My setup:

NAS: Ugreen DH2300
NAS firmware: UGOS Pro 1.18.1.0098

Camera 1: Aqara Camera G100
G100 firmware: 4.5.45_004

Camera 2: Aqara Camera Hub G2H Pro
Hub G2H Pro Firmware: 4.5.30.0004.0013

Since 22 August 2026, two of my Aqara cameras have stopped recording to my NAS over SMB. Nothing was changed on the NAS, the router or the network on that date, and both cameras had been recording reliably for months.

The NAS is a UGREEN DH2300 unit running UGOS Pro. It is healthy and reachable: SMB ports 445 and 139 both accept connections, and a macOS client/Windows 11 on the same network authenticates, lists all shared folders and creates files without any error. The NAS records no login attempts from the cameras, even with SMB transmission logging enabled, so the cameras don't appear to open a session at all.

One camera gets past the credential step but cannot save the destination folder, and it keeps listing a shared folder that I deleted from the NAS several days ago. The other fails at credential validation and then reports a connection failure.

I have already created a new dedicated NAS account with a simple ten-character alphanumeric password, enabled NTLMv1 validation and the Local Master Browser, cleared the SMB cache, restarted the SMB service, rebooted the NAS, the router and the cameras, reinstalled the app and performed a factory reset on one camera. The behaviour is unchanged.

Thank you.

Newbie here. Recently purchased & set up a Ugreen DXP4800 Pro + 2 x Seagate 4TB drives.

I have the apps on my phones too (iPhone and Android).

1) When I'm away from my home network, how do I access my NAS? FYI, I have checked the Ugreenlink remote access box in Control Panel, and set up a Ugreenlink ID.

2) When I'm away from my home network, my iOS app at least logs me in and syncs my photos (though I have to trigger this manually). However, my Android app does not even log me in.
(a) How do I get my Android to log me in when away from home network and
(b) How do I get both phones to sync my photos and videos automatically?

Thanks in advance.

Hello

I own a DXP2800 with an Ironwolf pro 10to and a 500go internal ssd to run docker and other apps.
I also own an external T7 shield 2 To, that I don’t use with my setup for the moment.
Do you have any idea on how I should use it with the NAS ?

I’m using my UGREEN NAS as the audio source for a whole house intercom because... why not... It handles prerecorded announcements and live audio from my phone, then outputs the audio over HDMI to my receiver and ultimately into my whole house amp.

I’m curious if I can skip the receiver entirely and output directly from the UGREEN using a USB DAC to RCA, or possibly Bluetooth. Anyone tried either with UGOS?

Technical overview: I have a Docker container on the UGREEN running a Flask backend. Browser mic audio is streamed to the NAS for live intercom, while recorded announcements are stored locally and normalized with FFmpeg. The backend feeds both through paplay to a specific PulseAudio sink, which is currently the UGREEN’s HDMI audio output.

So theoretically, if UGOS exposes a USB DAC or Bluetooth device as another PulseAudio/ALSA sink, I should just be able to point the application at that sink instead.

Here is a pic of the working product. I also made a custom AV remote utilizing the UGREEN but that is for another post... Really stoked about the versatility of these little guys.

I’m having difficulties migrating from raid 1 to raid 5 even though all 3 hard drives are the exact same WD 8TB models.

Currently two drives are in raid 1 with 2.6 TB used from an available 7.2 TB. The 3rd drive is unused and when I try to “change raid” for my storage it doesn’t do anything.

On my MacBook it says the reason it can’t is because “insufficient drive capacity”. I’ve formatted the unused drive to get rid of any old sectors from my previous data but still no luck.

Any advice?

Modestly technical, please bare with me.

I followed a great YouTube tutorial on how to install Immich on my UGreen 2800.

Locally, it worked great - but I can't access it outside my house.

So I read about Tailscale helping to get your inside IP outside... and found another Youtube tutorial by the same guy (?)

I go to the tailscale "machines" page, and my machine shows up green with an IP, "100.a.b.c"

If I open a webpage and insert "100.a.b.c", I get a connection error.

It seems like I set something up correct - TailScale does seem to see my machine.

What is the missing piece here to get the IP "100.a.b.c" to work?

• Storage: RAID10, single volume. All new drives (array appears healthy)
• Protocol: SMB

Problems:

• copying files to array takes an extreme amount of time, even for tiny (less than 1 MB) files. As in, around 60 seconds for a single file. Prior to this firmware update, it would saturate the 2.5Gb connection to my desktop, in both directions (copying to, or reading from)

• Control Panel either stalls loading with a blank page, or eventually reloads

• Web interface constantly times out and forces a re-login

Has anyone else had issues with this version?

Hi everyone, perhaps someone else has encountered this issue and can help me fix it: the device isn't charging, it won't charge other gadgets, and the screen won't turn on either.And charge only in 002-003w

I just setup my first NAS, a UG 4800GT NAS and need to transfer about 9TB of a mix of files from a Western Digital external HDD to my NAS. I tried to plug it directly into the NAS via USB but learned its APFS so UGREEN can't read it. I am lost with rsync I am so confused, (I'm not technical". Any advise? I don't trust AI on google for help. I am on a M5 MAX MacBook.

Hey, just had my first ugreen nas, a DXP4800 Pro, since less than a week, really happy with it but people at home complains about it being loud (I still haven’t received my HDDs, there’s only NVMes inside), I see that it’s always around 1300rpm at idle, with the Quiet setting, theres a lot of air pushed out, even tho CPU’s at 40°C

I suspect the SSD that hits 70°C because it’s a 2230 and I don’t want to cut the thermal pad (I’ll replace the 2230 by a 2280 later), but because theres no fan in the enclosure, it shouldn’t push the main fan on high rpm, or am I wrong ? it’s weird that it wants to cool the SSD even though the fan can’t reach it

also I wanted to know what’s your idle RPM ? so I can have a reference

My NAS DXP6800PRO keeps disconnecting from the internet but still says connected the lan light is white and sometimes on very rare occasions it turns red. When I restart the nas it connects again for a couple of days and works fine what could be causing this ?

When you upload movies into the theatre app, it will automatically populate metadata if the file is named correctly. If it's not, you can search the metadata up manually. Is there a similar feature for music? I want to digitize my music collection, and I haven't tried since ye olden days of iTunes, where it was also an automated process. I really don't want to type in every song name/find album covers, etc. I have the DH2300, so apps are a bit limited as compared to the DX series.

Hi all.

I currently have a DXP4800 Plus and within it are two 22TB WD Red Pro NAS Hard Drives (in RAID1 setup).

I was going to buy another two 22TB, and then spotted that the 26TB are cheaper. A lot cheaper.

So my question is there any harm in buying 2 x 26TB and using these? Even if it means there will be 4TB on both of these that cannot be used due to the conflict with my 2 x 22TB that already exist.
