What is Midgard?
Information
- Back in the good old days of UnRaid, Midgard served as the backup server for all 24PinTech related data. Today, with the recent installation of TrueNAS, Midgard will serve as the backup server for all 24PinTech related data. As of writing this page, we will have attempted to host a Minecraft server (with the approval of Chamberlain) on Midgard, alongside the backups.
Message To The Future
- If you're reading this guide, then either you're curious about how Midgard works, or Chamberlain has tasked you to reinstall Midgard with a software of his choosing. This page serves to showcase the following:
- Installation
- Network Configuration
- Active Directory
- Pools
- Backups
- Virtual Machines
- Minecraft
- Please refer to Midgard/UnRaid for steps on how to install UnRaid to the Midgard server.
What is TrueNAS?
Information
- TrueNAS is essentially the free open-sourced version of UnRaid. It's functionality and purpose remains the same, however the dashboard in my opinion looks much better. For the purposes of this guide and the fact that we only have one server, we will be using TrueNAS CORE, formally known as FreeNAS.
Steps (additional info at the bottom)
