If I can run the unify host software on my NAS by using docker, why would I still “want” the Dream Machine? Is there anything specific functionality that isn’t supported by Unifi via docker?
This is probably isn’t the place for asking this but I’d ask anyways, I’m eyeing the LHY sw10, but to fully take advantage of that switch, I’d have to beef up my home server rack.
When did LHY-SW10 come out? I just bought SW-8 to see if it helps my streaming chain. Surprisingly, it did help quite a bit. The SW-10 looks beefer with two transformers.
I’d say no more than a couple weeks, a month at most. Yes, I like the SW8 as well, beat my Silent Angel switch with a custom PSU. I like the SPF ports on the SW10, lots of options from there.
Hmm 2.5gbs ports, I guess you have a use case for all those poe ports. Why didn’t you just get a SE edition of the dream machine? I suspect that switch isn’t well shielded enough for us crazies, if you use it anywhere near your rack
I have cameras and AP’s that are PoE. It’s easier for me to buy switches that I can move around if need be. That said, I can find another use for that switch and replace it with something like the sw-10.
A recent upgrade to a fibre internet supply and new modem (centre right) demanded reoganisation.
I used a cheap TP-Link PoE switch (16xRJ45, 2xSFP) with improvised brackets and upgraded it with some silent fans, recommended by my Unifi supplier. Rather than use the switch PoE, and resultant heat, I use the supplied Unifi PoE bricks for the access points.
There is a TS-473 lower left that holds my Roon Core. Lower right is a UPS in case of power loss and for surge protection. One of the fibre lines goes to my streamer without any switching at the other end, just a media converter.
My Unifi system supports about 85 IP’s and 5 Unifi access points, with about 30 devices doing audio at up to 24/192 PCM speed. No issues.
