Just a little feedback on upgrading from Unraid Nvidia beta30 to beta35 with Nvidia drivers plugin. The process was smooth and I see no stability or performance issue after 48h, following these steps : - Disable auto-start on "nvidia aware" containers (Plex and F@H for me) - Stop all containers - Disable Docker engine - Stop all VMs (none of them had a GPU passthrough) - Disable VM Manager - Remove Unraid-Nvidia plugin - Upgrade to 6.9.0-beta35 with Tools>Update OS - Reboot - Install Nvidia Drivers plugin from CA (be patient and wait for the "Done" button) - Check the driver installation (Settings>Nvidia Drivers, should be 455.38, run nvidia-smi under CLI). Verify the GpuID is unchanged, which was the case for me, otherwise the "NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES" variable should be changed accordingly for the relevant containers - Reboot - Enable VM Manager, restart VMs and check them - Enable Docker engine, start Plex and F@H - Re-enable autostart for Plex and F@H All this is perhaps a bit over-cautious, but at least I can confirm I got the expected result, i.e. an upgraded server with all functionalities up and running under 6.9.0-beta35 !

It's not as if they've been very welcoming to new community developers wanting to get in on the unraid action....so something like this was bound to happen to older highly respected community developers....just my 2 cents. Luckily time heals all wounds and in 6 months time a new unraid user has no idea this even happened. Burning bridges is a thing and people will keep doing it.

I’ve been around a little while. I always follow the boards even though I have very little life time to give to being active in the community anymore. I felt the need to post to say I can completely appreciate how the guys at @linuxserver.io feel. I was lucky enough to be apart of the team @linuxserver.iofor a short while and I can personally attest to how much personal time and effort they put into development, stress testing and supporting their developments. While @limetech has developed a great base product i think it’s right to acknowledge that much of the popularity and success of the product is down as much to community development and support (which is head and shoulders above by comparison) as it is to the work of the company. As a now outsider looking in, my personal observation is that the use of unRAID exploded due to the availability of stable, regularly updated media apps like Plex (the officially supported one was just left to rot) and then exploded again with the emergence of the @linuxserver.ionVidia build and the support that came with it. Given the efforts of the community and groups like @linuxserver.io is even used in unRAID marketing I feel this is a show of poor form. I feel frustrated at Tom’s “I didn’t know I needed permission ....” comment as it isn’t about that. It’s about respect and communication. A quick “call” to the @linuxserver.io team to let them know of the plan (yes I know the official team don’t like sharing plans at risk of setting expectations they then won’t meet) to (even privately) acknowledge the work that has (and continues to) contribute to the success of unRAID and let them be a part of it would have cost Nothing but would have been worth so much. I know the guys would have been supporting too. I hope the two teams can work it out and that @limetech don’t forget what (and who) helped them get to where they are and perhaps looks at other companies who have alienated their community through poor decisions and communication. Don’t make this the start of a slippery slide.

Great news. Crazy how they constantly focus on features benefiting more than 1% of the maximum userbase, right. 🤪
