lol a true Unraid OS user!

In celebration of the Legalization of a certain recreational plant that came into effect earlier this week, I twisted one up and 6.6.3 installed very (very) smoothly.

Were you drinking beer?

I had quite some problems with my speed and Cinebench score of my Ryzen 1700. The first step is to use the plugin "TipsAndTweaks" to change the "CPU Scaling Guvenor" to "On Demand". In my case it was set to "Power Save" as default. This moved my from about 550 to 1170 in CineBench. A noticeable change. Looking at the at terminal with the following command, it was wasy to see that my Ryzen 1700 just wouldn't boost properly when using Cinebench: To fix this Download zenstates from https://github.com/r4m0n/ZenStates-Linux/blob/master/zenstates.py Save the script in a share under the name zenstates.py (I chose /mnt/user/appdata) Use NerdPack to install python (Needed for executing the python script) I used the UserScripts plugin to set up this script. Running every time that my array starts. I got the script from @david279 (He also made an Excel sheel to calculate the value to enter for difference zenstate entries https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1icKFa0COFFpIKmkXOXVUrTt7mnMqdYYLbtRiedat5zs/edit?usp=drivesdk) I only apply for P0 as that is the only state I'm interested in. The rest is up to CPU to downclock itself After all of these changes, CineBench score jumped from 550 to 1420. So I'd said everything worked out just fine I hope this can help somebody else with the same or similar problems.

Putting this here because probably the most people will set it. Due to the crisis in the computing industry over Meltdown, Spectre, and the like, operating system developers have been working diligently with academia, CPU developers and hardware manufacturers to provide solutions. Some of these solutions require both hardware changes in the form of CPU microcode and software changes in the form of operating system and other subsystem mitigations. Despite what might be reported in the press, this work is ongoing. Probably everyone is familiar with the warning from motherboard providers: "Do not update your bios unless you are experiencing a problem." However some changes in the latest OS releases require corresponding bios updates. AMD is particularly affected because they don't typically provide "early microcode update" as part of OS start up like Intel does. Case in point: Everyone has to decide for themselves whether to attempt bios update, and take responsibility if something fails and you brick your motherboard. But particularly if using Virtual Machines, we highly recommend keeping your bios updated, especially for AMD platforms.

To upgrade: If you are running any 6.4 or later release, click 'Check for Updates' on the Tools/Update OS page. If you are running a pre-6.4 release, click 'Check for Updates' on the Plugins page. If the above doesn't work, navigate to Plugins/Install Plugin, select/copy/paste this plugin URL and click Install: https://s3.amazonaws.com/dnld.lime-technology.com/stable/unRAIDServer.plg Refer also to @ljm42 excellent 6.4 Update Notes which are helpful especially if you are upgrading from a pre-6.4 release. BIOS: Especially if using Virtual Machines, we highly recommend keeping your motherboard bios up-to-date. Bugs: If you discover a bug or other issue in this release, please open a Stable Releases Bug Report. Version 6.6.3 2018-10-20 Base distro: libvirt: version 4.7.0 (fix: virsh believes VMs are down when they are up) Linux kernel: version 4.18.15 Management: Add the 'tss' user and group to keep libvirt from complaining create /root/.docker folder symlink to flash /boot/config/plugins/dockerMan webgui: Diagnostics: add totals in btrfs usage information webgui: Docker: fix button color in alert messages webgui: Update CPUvms.page help text webgui: Code change to prevent CA from modifying system file webgui: Fix container log size webgui: Improve private docker registry support (correctly pulling and updating containers) webgui: VM: upon editing vm allow adding vdisk after having none

yes

Move the containers on the Docker page in the sequence you want them to start

Well i had some time to kill and wanted a new/ different look for my web gui. I aimed for some adaption of Material Design, since i like the colorful but clean look. Here are some preview images: https://imgur.com/a/AsYvGrV It's just some css code, that overrides default styling. Also i personally implemented the design with Stylus so it's just in my browser. No need to edit any unRAID files or anything. It should work across all browsers (given there is an addon to insert the css code) https://pastebin.com/BZ0bEnJv I also created a Version with much less color and a lot more css comments to explain how to use this: https://pastebin.com/hps6aeW9 Since blue is not for everybody i made every color (except white for text on color-backgrounds) a variable at the top. so if you don't like blue it's super easy to insert a personal color theme. (If you are not sure about color picking just use a tool like this https://material.io/tools/color/#!/?view.left=0&view.right=0 and cpoy the hex codes) There are still some parts missing and some things could be cleaner. I will try to update this post if i continue to work on this.

I have a Excel sheet that helps do the calculate for zenstates. I'm at work right so I can't upload it but if you look at the git for zenstates it may be on there. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Updated from 6.6.2 to 6.6.3. Only complaint is that it took a long time to download the update. Would it be possible to have the process that checks for updates automatically download the file too, so it is ready to go as soon as we run the update script?
