is there a mutation available to perform a server shutdown? If not, is this the right place to request that as a feature?

Thanks for your time :)

I'm trying to set up Home Assistant monitoring for my Unraid server's temperatures, but both SNMP plugins and the Unraid API endpoints lack temperature data.

I would appreciate the ability to monitor Unraid temperatures via the Unraid API.

Thanks!

The Unraid version number is directly opposite on the left beneath the logo. If it should be anywhere, it should be there, and the release notes should load as a modal pop-under instead of a hyperlink outside the admin GUI, and within that, should allow you to also check for updates and see "What's New" in terms of any pending updates with a changelog.

The hamburger menu in the header is very odd in its placement and that it's for Unraid Connect is baffling as a design choice.

The circular avatar next to it should actually be rolled into Unraid OS itself, and the name of the current user should be displayed next to it. When clicking it, you should get a drop-down menu, as is pretty standard on most UIs with social media, apps et al.

Unraid Connect as a plugin should instead append functionality to the menu, if appropriate. However, I would argue that a Sign out of Unraid.net menu option is absolutely redundant and it's odd to have been implemented there in the first place and not in Settings in the Unraid OS section. Microsoft and Apple don't have Sign out of OneDrive in the Windows Start menu, but they do have OneDrive info (though I wish it could be toggled as I use Nextcloud for everything):

"Page not found: /server/register"

As I cannot log into Connect, I cannot update my beta server since there seems to be no download for 'latest'. The archive only shows stable releases. That's a real bummer in my opinion.

I honestly love convenient stuff, but once the manual ways get disabled, things are going the Microsoft way.

My use case:

- Unraid is used as a central backup system for all my machines at home

- Unraid is used to store critical files, that I concider important

I live in the Seattle area, and experienced power outages, that turned our electricity on, off, on, off. This inevitably corrupted my file system. Now.. I was able to get most of it up,,, except:

1. Docker -- I ended up having to rebuild my docker.iso file. Which is fine, but why can't the platform detect a file corruption and guide the user on fixing it?

2. I had corrupted data on one of my disks. I have double parity, but still, lost data. I read your warnings "do not do this for rebuilding or restoring data". I had zfs. there were no other easy options on getting my zfs store in a good state. Yes I lost data, but I think I can restore it from another location.

all in all, I think your team should spend a few sprints on identifying ways to automate resolving common issues for the user, and giving them more piece of mind on having a redundant configuiration-- and protecting against issues as I've described. 

1.) be not logged in

2.) click tools -> upgrade OS

3.) get redirected to login 

4.) login

5.) you dont get redirected back to the "upgrade OS" wizard.

I suggest to redirect back to whereevery you needed to login for?

The upgrade took quite a while. Longer than it should have, but It said it had completed without error and a reboot will be required. Check! Rebooted. System takes longer to boot than normal, and pops up with a USB flash error. Drive is 'read only'... Ok. This isn't good. I decide to do a full shutdown and cold boot. Maybe USB bus could use a reset? After a cold boot, USB no longer shows up in bios, and thus, unraid wont start... 

At this point I am unhappy. I grab a samsung USB, download the unraid installation tool, and flash my backup to the new USB. This process took about 12 minutes.

Ok. Lets cross our fingers and try to boot!... and Success! I'm literally right back to where I started before the update. I then get a notification that this usb is not what my license is expecting, and a 'click here to transfer license'. Check! License transferred! Great! I re-run the update to 6.12.10 (much faster this time) and reboot when completed. This part took about 3 minutes.

After successful reboot of 6.12.10, I start the array and she's up and running as if nothing happened.

I just wanted to say thank you to All of the Unraid team for creating a backup/restore that actually works. Simple. Clean. Reliable.

The Unraid Connect dashboard shows the server with the green online icon.  There is no indication that the parity disk is disabled.

This is a major flaw with the Unraid Connect plugin/dashboard and needs to be included in the next update

So looks like the idea is to eventually implement an own VPN and make it easy to connect & share shares with friends & their servers etc.

Pretty cool.

Not sure what the direction is? but perhaps it would be cool to make it into a tool to help people add a domain to their server and add other services. 

The dashboard itself is interesting but there are better tools out there like 'Homarr' which uses 'dash.' to show realtime cpu / ram / network  usage etc.

How do you guys see the direction?

Thanks 

You guys' Rock 

First, I am unsure if this is the right forum for this but didn't see a better fit. I hope this is a doable feature request to cover off a small inconvenience. Can a change be made so that users can set the desired branch in the Tools, Update OS tab and be remembered and checked based upon the user's preference instead of the currently installed OS?

My use case is I run two instances of Unraid, a production server on the main branch and a virtualized Unraid (i.e.Unraid on Unraid) on the next branch for testing. For my test version of Unraid, I would like it to be set and updated to the "Next" branch all the time. If this isn't clear, I'm happy to expand on idea.

Also many of us have a lot of skills and can easily deploy such kind of service on VPS, on another server or somewhere else (I mean Unraid Connect) and configure network for secure access.

For now we do not have an option to use best practices in security and privacy for Unraid Connect.

For example with networking technologies, you can selfhost TP-Link Omada controller or Ubiquiti controller, why not Unraid Connect?

Regards, Unraid user.

Based on my experience I'd highly suggest not using BTRFS Raid 10. I did not test Raid 1. I was considering this with running two cache pools in Raid 1, but at this point I know XFS works and is very performant. I will not have drive failure protection on my cache pool, but at least my services will be stable now.

I'll wait for ZFS to become fully supported by Unraid then i'll try using that for the cache pool. (please be soon)

On a side note, if you have multiple NVME drives connected to your server through a PCIe card that can support multiple drives and you are using PCIe bifurcation and are seeing PCIE hardware errors. I'd suggest changing your PCIe version/generation that the slot is running at back to 3.0 from 4.0. On my AMD EPYC system PCIe 4.0 was causing multiple hardware correctable errors which I was able to attribute to a poor connection/signal integrity. Once I changed the slot to 3.0 those errors went away. Also, I did experience the same slow downs for the BTRFS Raid 10 cache pool after fixing the signal integrity issue. The signal integrity issue did not cause the overall performance issue.

I'd love to hear others experience with BTRFS Raid 10. Have you had the same performance issues? And a large thank you to all the members of the forum for posting about their issues and solutions. Without this I'd have been lost in solving many of these issues.

Server specs for reference:

Motherboard: ASRockRack ROMED8-2T
BIOS: American Megatrends Inc., Version P3.50

CPU: AMD EPYC 7542 32-Core Processor

RAM: Kingston 32GB ECC (two dimms 64GB total)

NVME Drives:

XPG_GAMMIX_S50_Lite 1TB PCIe 4.0

XPG_GAMMIX_S50_Lite 1TB PCIe 4.0

XPG_GAMMIX_S50_Lite 1TB PCIe 4.0

XPG_GAMMIX_S50_Lite 1TB PCIe 4.0

Samsung_SSD_970_EVO_Plus_1TB PCIe 3.0

Second - I'm still getting this Error-message:
 

But everything seems to work?!?

Another thing i would appriciate is an API for Android and Windows, so you could monitor it in the background without having to login into this website in a browser!

Thanks!

"UPC and My Servers Plugin - [rc2] reworded

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, also known as an Unraid.net 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:

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 servers associated with this account.  Each tile includes a link to bring up the servers webGUI on your LAN.  Install the My Servers plugin to provide real-time status and other advanced features (see below).

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.

Posting privilege in a new set of My Servers forum boards.

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.?:
