    6.10.0 Summary of New Features

     

    As always, prior to updating, create a backup of your USB flash device:  "Main/Flash/Flash Device Settings" - click "Flash Backup".

     

    UPC and My Servers Plugin

    The most visible new feature is located in the upper right of the webGUI header.  We call this the User Profile Component, or UPC.  The UPC allows a user to associate their server(s) and license key(s) with their Unraid Community forum account.

     

    Starting with this release, it will be necessary for a new user to either sign-in with existing forum credentials or sign-up, creating a new account via the UPC in order to download a Trial key.  All key purchases and upgrades are also handled exclusively via the UPC.

     

    Signing-in provides these benefits:

    1. No more reliance on email and having to copy/paste key file URLs in order to install a license key - keys are delivered and installed automatically to your server.
    2. Notification of critical security-related updates.  In the event a serious security vulnerability has been discovered and patched, we will send out a notification to all email addresses associated with registered servers.
    3. Ability to install the My Servers plugin (see below).
    4. Posting privilege in a new set of My Servers forum boards.

     

    Once a license key has been provisioned, it is not necessary to remain signed-in, though there is no particular reason to sign-out.  Exception: if you have installed the My Servers plugin, signed-in servers will maintain a websocket connection to a Lime Technology cloud server for the purpose of transmitting real-time status.

     

    My Servers Plugin

    My Servers is what we call our set of cloud-based or cloud-enabled services and features that integrate with your Unraid server(s).  Once installed here are some of the features of My Servers:

    • My Servers Dashboard - when logged into the forum a new My Servers menu item appears. Clicking this brings up a Dashboard which displays a set of tiles representing each signed-in server.  Here you can see real-time status such as whether the server is online or offline, storage utilization and other information.  In addition, links are created to bring up a server webGUI, either locally on the LAN or remotely over the Internet (if Remote Access has been enabled).
    • flash backup - every registered server is provided with a private git repo initially populated with the contents of your USB flash boot device (except for certain files which contain private information such as passwords).  Thereafter, configuration changes are automatically committed.  Through the My Servers webApp it's possible to download a custom zip file that can be fed as input to the USB Flash Creator tool to move your configuration to a new USB flash device.
    • License key download - Again, through the My Servers webApp you can download your license key directly.

     

    My Servers is an optional add-on, installed through Community Apps or via direct plugin URL.  Detailed instructions can be found here.

     

    Security Changes

    • It is now mandatory to define a root password.  We also created a division in the Users page to distinguish root from other user names.  The root UserEdit page includes a text box for pasting SSH authorized keys.
    • For new configurations, the flash share default export setting is No.
    • For all new user shares, the default export setting is No.
    • For new configurations, SMBv1 is disabled by default.
    • For new configurations, telnet, ssh, and ftp are disabled by default.
    • We removed certain strings from Diagnostics such as passwords found in the 'go' file.

     

    Virtualization

    Both libvirt and qemu have been updated.  In addition qemu has been compiled with OpenGL support.

     

    The built-in FireFox browser available in GUI-mode boot is built as an AppImage and located in the bzfirmware compressed file system image.  This saves approximately 60MB of RAM.

     

    The Wireguard plugin has been integrated into webGUI, that is, no need for the plugin.  If you had the plugin installed previously, it will be uninstalled and moved to the "Plugins/Plugin File Install Errors" page. No action is needed unless you want to press the Delete button to remove it from that page. Your WireGuard tunnels and settings will be preserved.

     

    Simplified installation of the Community Apps plugin.  The webGUI automatically includes the Apps menu item, and if CA is not already installed, the page offers an Install button.  No need to hunt for the plugin link.

     

    Let's Encrypt SSL provisioning change.  In previous releases code that provisions (allocates and downloads) a LE SSL certificate would first test if DNS Rebinding Protection was enforced on the user's LAN; and, if so, would not provision the certificate.  Since there are other uses for a LE certificate we changed the code so that provision would always proceed.  Next, we changed the logic behind the Auto selection of "Use SSL/TLS" setting on the Management Access page.  Now it is only possible to select Auto if both a LE certificate has been provisioned and DNS Rebinding Protection is not enforced.  This is a subtle change but permits certain My Servers features such as Remote Access.

     

    Linux Kernel

    Upgrade to Linux 5.13.8 kernel which includes so-called Sequoia vulnerability mitigation.

     

    In-tree GPU drivers are now loaded by default if corresponding hardware is detected:

    • amdgpu
    • ast
    • i915
    • radeon

     

    These drivers are required mostly for motherboard on-board graphics used in GUI boot mode.  Loading of a driver can be prohibited by creating the appropriate file named after the driver:

    echo "blacklist i915" > /boot/config/modprobe.d/i915.conf

    Alternately, the device can be isolated from Linux entirely via the System Devices page.  Note that in Unraid OS 6.9 releases the in-tree GPU drivers are blacklisted by default and to enabling loading a driver you need to create an empty "conf" file.  After upgrading to Unraid OS 6.10 you may delete those files, or leave them as-is.  This change was made to greatly improve the Desktop GUI experience for new users.

     

    Added support for Intel GVT-g, which lets you split your Intel i915 iGPU into multiple virtual GPUs and pass them through to multiple VMs, using @ich777's Intel-GVT-g plugin.

     

    Added support for gnif/vendor-reset.  This simplifies @ich777's AMD Vendor Reset plugin which permits users to get their AMD video cards to reset properly.

     

    Base Packages

    Virtually the entire base package set has been updated.

     

    Other improvements available in 6.10, which are maybe not so obvious to spot from the release notes and some of these improvements are internal and not really visible:

     

     

    Event driven model to obtain server information and update the webGUI in real-time

    • The advantage of this model is its scalability. Multiple browsers can be opened simultaneously to the webGUI without much impact
    • In addition stale browser sessions won't create any CSRF errors anymore
    • People who keep their browser open 24/7 will find the webGUI stays responsive at all times

     

    Docker labels

    • Docker labels are added to allow people using Docker compose to make use of icons and GUI access
    • Look at a Docker 'run' command output to see exactly what labels are used

     

    Docker custom networks

    • A new setting for custom networks is available. Originally custom networks are created using the macvlan mode, and this mode is kept when upgrading to version 6.10
    • The new ipvlan mode is introduced to battle the crashes some people experience when using macvlan mode. If that is your case, change to ipvlan mode and test. Changing of mode does not require to reconfigure anything on Docker level, internally everything is being taken care off.

     

    Docker bridge network (docker0)

    • docker0 now supports IPv6. This is implemented by assigning docker0 a private IPv6 subnet (fd17::/64), similar to what is done for IPv4 and use network translation to communicate with the outside world
    • Containers connected to the bridge network now have both IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity (of course the system must have IPv6 configured in the network configuration)
    • In addition several enhancements are made in the IPv6 implementation to better deal with the use (or no-use) of IPv6

     

    Plugins page

    • The plugins page now loads information in two steps. First the list of plugins is created and next the more time consuming plugin status field is retrieved in the background. The result is a faster loading plugins page, especially when you have a lot of plugins installed

     

    Dashboard graphs

    • The dashboard has now two graphs available. The CPU graph is displayed by default, while the NETWORK graph is a new option under Interface (see the 'General Info' selection)
    • The CPU graph may be hidden as well in case it is not desired
    • Both graphs have a configurable time-line, which is by default 30 seconds and can be changed independently for each graph to see a longer or shorter history.
    • Graphs are updated in real-time and are useful to observe the behavior of the server under different circumstances

     

    Other Changes

    • We switched to a better-maintained version of the WSD server component called wsdd2 in an effort to eliminate instances where the wsd daemon would start consuming 100% of a CPU core.
    • Fixed issue where you couldn't create a docker image on a share name that contains a space.
    • Fixed issue where 'mover' would not move to a pool name that contains a space.
    • Fixed issue in User Share file system where permissions were not being honored.
    • We increased the font size in Terminal.
    • Many other small bug fixes and improvements.

    Upon upgrading to 6.10.0-rc1 VNC has stopped working for any of my VMs.  The VMs themselves are working as I am able to ssh in.  However, trying to use VNS and I cam getting a "Failed to connect to Server" error.

    I have a backup & testing server which runs on a laptop, this uses to test new versions and to provide a lite server when the main server is down.
    After upgrading to 6.10.0-rc1 it goes to sleep when the screen is closed. This happened on the first boot after update and I thought the OS is not booting, when opening the screen to check the laptop woke up.
    I can wake it up remotely via wake on lan and it will again go to sleep within few seconds even if the CPU is under heavy load. I am going to check options to disable it in the bios, but after finding that the OS support sleep I actually think it would be good if this would work as it should.

    EDIT: I have checked and there are no options in the BIOS to disable that may prevent sleep.

    Unraid does not sleep by default. It looks like you have installed the "S3 Sleep" plugin though, I'd suggest uninstalling that or look for options to configure it. This is the support thread for that plugin:

    I have installed the "S3 Sleep" in order to find out if I can prevent sleep with it, I did not have that plugin installed before upgrading to rc1. Even with the plugin with settings to prevent sleep under load or network it will still go to sleep when lid is closed anyhow not related to the plugin.

    Interesting. Something is detecting that the lid is closed:

    I know you've already looked in the bios, but maybe look for ways to completely disable sleep or power savings?

    Overlooked every option in the bios, this laptop has nice bios GUI but with very minimal settings 😞
    However from your log entries I bumped into this:
    https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=919694
    Which suggests to run `loginctl show-seat` to check the the sleep settings. Not the line:
    `HandleLidSwitch=suspend`

    root@Fanta:~# 


    It looks like this is configurable, so `HandleLidSwitch` needs to be changed to `ignore`, however I don't have the knowledge how to do it in Unraid (due to the way the OS is built so /etc is not permanent) 

    Would it be possible to change this default value to be ignore for the next release? (I assume no one will want this option for a server) is there an option for me to change it for now?

    Thanks for the fast response

    I've had two hard lockups in 12 hours since installing this release.  Nothing in syslog around time of lockup.

     

    Diagnostics attached.  I'll stay on this release for a bit longer in case there's a need for more info or a fix, but will need to roll back to 6.9 sooner rather than later.

    I looked into it a bit, if you would like to experiment, modify /etc/elogind/logind.conf and change:

    #HandleLidSwitch=suspend

    to

    HandleLidSwitch=ignore

    (i.e. uncomment the line and change suspend to ignore)

     

    Then run 

    /etc/rc.d/rc.elogind restart


    If that works then I'll let you know how to make it permanent

    The UPC uses an API to authenticate with Unraid.net and does not support 2FA at this time.

     

    We do not have single sign on between the UPC and the forum, so when you visit the forum you will need to login there separately (using 2FA if that is enabled on your account)

    Great! thanks for the feedback and questions BTW! My responses were kind of long so I split it out into separate posts to make it easier for people to read ;) 

     

     

    The array must not have been able to shutdown before the timer expired, triggering an unclean shutdown. A common reason for this is having a terminal open in an array directory. It is also possible that one of your VMs took longer than expected to shutdown, see this thread for more details: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/69868-dealing-with-unclean-shutdowns/

    There have been some subtle changes to how SSL works. When "Use SSL/TLS" is "yes" you are in a mode where the Unraid Let's Encrypt certificate is available, but not required. In this mode, if your Internet ever goes down it is easy to access your system by going to http://ipaddress and letting it redirect you to a url that is protected by a self-signed certificate.

     

    Take a look at Settings -> Management Access. Your hash.unraid.net url is near the bottom of the page where it says "link". Feel free to bookmark that url and use it rather than the one the system redirected you to. Or if you have the My Servers plugin installed you can access the server through the My Servers Dashboard https://forums.unraid.net/my-servers/

     

    If you change "Use SSL/TLS" to "auto" then your system will always use https://hash.unraid.net.  The downside is that your client computer needs to be able to do a DNS lookup to resolve hash.unraid.net to an IP address, so if your Internet goes down you may not be able to access the webgui.

    If this ever happens you can use telnet, SSH or a local keyboard/monitor to login to the server and type:

    
    use_ssl no

    Then you will be able to access the server using http://ipaddress. When the Internet comes back, navigate to Settings -> Management Access and set "Use SSL/TLS" back to "auto" to re-enable local SSL.

     

    @ljm42 I really appreciate your responses, thank you.

     

    I have now been able to restore the behaviour I was happy with. I have also been able to chase down a Windows 10 VM that was not shutting down so that is now fixed. I understand re SSO between UPC and forum.

     

    I've been using RC 6.10.0-rc1 for a couple of days now. Nothing significant to report.

    Might be an Unassigned Devices thing, but I can no longer connect to an NFS share on a Windows machine from UNRAID (yes, NFS and not SMB because of Duplicati bugs).

    I "fixed it" by starting the port remapper:

    I, for one, do not like the UPC requirement. I completely understand the convenience of it, and if you like that, then I think it should be available to you. But it is important to realize that it comes with a steep security tradeoff. Even if no additional server data is transferred during the linking of the forum account and the UPC service (and that is a big "if" that needs to be made clear), that still makes it FAR too easy for keys to be compromised.

    This isn't about bashing LimeTech, but the reality of things is that forum account credentials could be compromised at some point (Ubiquiti, among others, had far worse than that happen). I would much rather keys be HARD to change, especially with them associated with my critical servers. If this change is not more explicitly avoidable, I will not purchase any further keys. I LOVE Unraid and have recommended it to many people, but this change would be a deal breaker for me.

    All user data should be able to be controlled/restricted by the user. Also, I would love to see a setting to hide the login link on the header (but I'm sure there will be a plugin/app to do this if LimeTech doesn't).

    Thanks for the diagnostics, it clears up a lot.

     

    It seems there was some confusion over how to setup SSL in earlier versions. Your current setup is not correct for what you are trying to do. I honestly don't know how it even worked for you in 6.9 :) 

     

    If the server is forced to generate a redirect to itself in 6.10, the url will be:
      http[s]://[Server Name].[Local TLD]

     

    The Server Name is set on the Settings -> Identification page. It defaults to "tower".

     

    The Local TLD is set on the Settings -> Management Access page. It defaults to "local".

     

    "Use SSL/TLS" can be found on Settings -> Management Access page too. In 6.9 it defaults to "Auto" (which means "no" unless you have defined a certificate, then it means "yes"). In 6.10 it defaults to "no".

     

    So the default url to a new server is:
      http://tower.local

    This will work on most networks out of the box, with no special configuration needed to make ".local" work as the Local TLD.

     

    Your settings are:
      Server Name: Media-Server
      Local TLD: unraid.eoghan-net.com
      Use SSL/TLS: yes
    Therefore your url is:
      https://media-server.unraid.eoghan-net.com

     

    If you want the url to be:
      https://unraid.eoghan-net.com
    Then you should setup your system this way:
      Server Name: unraid
      Local TLD: eoghan-net.com
      Use SSL/TLS: yes

     

    Note: For a custom domain name to work, you need to setup your own DNS entry that points unraid.eoghan-net.com at your server's IP address. Unraid cannot manage that DNS entry for you.

     

    With "Use SSL/TLS" set to yes, the system will generate a self-signed cert for unraid.eoghan-net.com, which you can replace with your own cert if you have one.

    Absolute legend on figuring that one out I did test last night with SSL disabled and was able to get it updated however all my docker containers all failed to to come online and when checking the docker settings it stated that

     

     

    /mnt/user/system/docker/docker.img

    And 

    /mnt/user/appdata/

     

    Do not exist.

    That works, I have also tried yesterday to add the following to `go` file:
     

    /usr/bin/sed -i -e 's/#HandleLidSwitch=suspend/HandleLidSwitch=ignore/g' /etc/elogind/logind.conf
    /etc/rc.d/rc.elogind restart
    


    This will not work during boot since the laptop already sleeps until go file is executed, if I wake up the laptop manually after it sleeps during boot it will not get back to sleep. Is there a way to make the change before `elogind` runs?

    only asking because if you've bought a key

    I'm not sure if I really like to bind my keys to this moderator account.

     

    PS I really wonder why Limetech binds their license sales to a forum software which had serious loading problems in the last months. And I really wonder why to Invision. Invision is the company which canceled all lifetime licenses with the release of version 4. And its still a slow, expensive and buggy forum software compared to eg Xenforo (Froala = best editor).

    Hello there,

     

    Like mentioned in the recent unraid podcast, I am wondering if the SMB Multichannel is enabled in this release candidate.

    If so, second question, I have two servers both with bonded network connections (802.3ad), is it recommended to keep bonded to use multichannel, or remove?

     

    Cheers,

    Updated and other than the reboot hanging at "_" (after its restarted forcing a power off and power on) everything appears to be OK.

     

    TL;DR: No difference that I can tell from a previous update other than the login button top right, which is fine!

    You likely have docker veth interfaces with ipv6 in use, causing this message.

     

    Under WSD options, add

    -4 -i br0

     

    This limits wsd to ipv4 only and let it listen to interface br0 only (assuming you have br0)

    Yes mate I'll post it later when I'm home again. I am sorely tempted to backup my server and start from scratch with the 6.10 RC and see how a fresh install goes but getting any bugs or user errors sorted would also be a plus for other members.

    I have upgraded to 6.10.0 rc1, upgrade was very easy.

     

    I upgraded as i noted the smart mon tools version upgrade, and I have never had the drive temps shown on my SAS drives, even after the upgrade I'm still having an issue with the temps showing, they still only show * on the main array page, however when I now check the disk attributes I can now see the drive temp, but ths does not make it through to the main page, is there an issue with displaying the temps on the main array page?

     

    Thanks and keep up the good work
