========================
Community Applications			= This is basically your "app store"
CA Auto Turbo Write Mode 		= enables turbo writes.  significantly increase the write speed to your protected array
CA Auto Update Applications    	= updates your apps automatically
CA Config Editor				= makes editings your Syslinux Configuration a ton easier (useful for passing through graphics cards for plex encoding, or vms), or editing default unraid boot settings
CA Dynamix Unlimited Width		= only useful if you're on an ultrawide monitor... looks normal with it on regualar monitors
Custom Tab						= allows you to install custom tabs at the top for any addons or webui for plex/dockers in general... handy
Disk Location					= MUST HAVE for the supermicro case. shows a gui so you can track what hdd is in what slot. There is a button to blink which drive and then you map that to the picture.
Dynamix Active Streams			=minor addon just to check how many files are open/what drive. Basically tracks down whats being used
Dynamix Local Master			=Set your server to local master. Very useful on a windows network and SMB shares, since it's always on. Windows can get fussy without a reliable local master server
Dynamix Cache Directories		=When browsing your files on the server it caches the files/names on your server so you don't have to spin up disks to browse (faster) ***can cause cpu spikes.
Dynamix SSD TRIM				=Must have for SSDs, enables TRIM. (good for the extending the life of your SSD)
Dynamix WireGuard				=only available in the RC versions. Allows you to access your server from outside your network from your phone or another pc. SECURELY
Enhanced Log Viewer				=Highlights error in syslog. just easier to read
File Activity					=This plugin displays recent read/write/modify file activity on each disk, UD disks, and the cache in the Array. It can help to understand why disks are spinning up from read/write/modify file activity.
Fix Common Problems				=Does just that, will check for common mistakes in configs/dirs and fix
IPMI support					=Mostly used for fan control, uncheck the stuff you don't want to see on the dashboard. Displays a bit too much by defalt.
Libvirt Hotplug USB				=only used if you get into vms and need to pass a usb device after the vm is booted
Network Statistics				=shows bandwidth info
Preclear Disks					=preclears disks before adding to the array
Tips and Tweaks					= lets you change certain Linux settings that may improve performance of your server. (CPU Scaling Governor: performance makes a big difference, also disable ftp, enabling syslog if you're tracking down problems,enable intel boost)
Unassigned Devices				=maps drives outside the array (required for preclear disks)
unBALANCE						=useful to move data from one disk to another, like if you want to upgrade a data drive and move everything off first
CA Backup / Restore Appdata v2mUST HAVE!!!!!! backs up your appdata/usb/libvirt(vm related) to your array or optimally to another pc on the nextwork/cloud


Docker containers
=========================
so most of these are available from two main branches Binhex and linuxserver. I started with binhex, but am migrating to linuxserver choose one and stick with it. mixing is pain in the dick. Ignore the torrent/usenet containers if you don't plan on sailing the high seas

deluge/qbittorrent (with and without a vpn)_   		= torrent client, recommend using a vpn if using this
jackett												= aggregates torrent sites to a single indexer (not required but makes sonarr/radarr changes easier)
nzbhydra2											=same as jackett but for usenet
plex or plexpass									=self explanitory, plexpass if you have it
radarr												=monitors movie requests and downloads from usenet or torrents, also renames and moves data to your movie dir
sonarr												=same as radarr but for tv
sabnzbd or nzbget									=downloads from usenet, sonarr/radarr passes requests to this
heimdall											=puts all your docker webuis on one page
letsencrypt											= reverse proxy for accessing dockers outside your network. I use this, but I've heard Nginx proxy manager is a LOT easier to config. You'll want a domain or register @ duckdns.com for a free one
nextcloud											=your own dropbox. mobileapp as well can send all your pics/vids straight to it, multiple users (use reverse proxy of choice)
ombi												=integrates with sonarr/radarr and presents a nice UI for you or reverseproxy and your plex users can request shows/movies
tautulli											=monitors plex usuage so you can track users/whats being watched...super handy
organizr											=like heimdall, but better, takes a while to setup each app
grafana												=Nice looking dashboard to monitor all-the-things...very configurable (requires influxdb, and telegraf, installation complicated)
