Today's update brings a couple of minor fixes.
One notable addition is that CA now includes a notification system. Up until now, there was no real way for myself to inform unRaid users of any "must-see" notifications outside of Fix Common Problems. However FCP has a few flaws:
It's installed user base is no where near the size of CA's installed base
Any new tests would require an update to FCP itself
CA's notifications are reserved exclusively for the "You Must See This", and any PSA's. Currently, there are only a few notices:
mccloud/ps3netsrv installed - known malware contained within it
Older versions of disk.location installed - known to cause very excessive writes to the flash drive
unRaid versions of 6.6 -> 6.8.0 and sysdream mitigation plugin not installed
A PSA detailed below.
Notifications are downloaded at a random time following a reboot of your server, and once per week after that. You will be notified via an email / push depending upon your notification settings, and also via a banner across the top of your GUI. The system is set up that if you do have your server sleeping (S3 plugin) at the time the week is up, it will get downloaded automatically when the server awakens (random time of the hour).
If you choose to ignore the warning, you can permanently dismiss the warning by clicking the "x" on the banner. A more info link will display a popup that contains more information regarding the warnings.
This system will allow CA to warn you if (as an example) you have an application installed that contains known malware. Or if @limetech should (very unlikely) have to pull your installed version of unRaid, etc.
You can also choose to completely opt-out of this system via a setting in Apps - Settings.
Because of current events, there is a PSA that will also appear linking to
that will appear if you do not have BOINC or Folding @ Home installed on your server. I fully and completely understand if you choose to not install either of those applications. Just dismiss the banner and CA will never bother you again about it.
The OP for this thread has been updated to include the following PSA
DUE TO CURRENT GLOBAL EVENTS, CA WILL PUT UP A BANNER ADVISING THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO HAVE YOUR SERVER JOIN THE FIGHT AGAINST COVID-19 BY INSTALLING EITHER BOINC OR FOLDING@HOME. IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO DO THIS, THEN SIMPLY DISMISS THE BANNER (CLICK THE X) AND YOU WILL NOT BE BOTHERED AGAIN.
ADDITIONALLY FOR THE TIME BEING, BOTH THE BOINC AND FOLDING@HOME APPLICATIONS WILL ALWAYS APPEAR AT THE TOP OF THE LIST IN THE NEW APPS SECTION TO INCREASE THEIR EXPOSURE.
