Looking forward to giving this a try! Booting from internal storage is definitely interesting. Hope to see NetBird one day get first-party support like Tailscale does, that would be very cool.

What's the state of play with Unraid remote syslog in 2026? I've been trying to get it working with Alloy, but no luck, think it's down to how they're formatted.

Yes, it being exclusively available for SMB feels quite archaic. Likewise, with ZFS, I hope that we can just trigger a snapshot to be taken of certain shares/datasets one day and then avoid needing to use a traditional trash dir (that would be cool).

Has anyone gotten any closer to figuring this out since July? Element X is now unable to make calls because there's no LiveKit/Element Call, but can't set that up without MAS being set up. Would happily buy someone some beers if they can help me figure this out so my dad can talk to my seventy-something year-old aunt again who lives a thousand miles away in the middle of nowhere. :- )

Do you not feel that a premium file server distro should have a backup utility in the OOBE? No wrong answer here, just seeing what a mod thinks about the lack of implementation in the OOBE after twenty years. Personally, I consider this a necessary feature of utmost importance, and I'm always baffled when a release comes and goes but doesn't bring it. Sure, scripts, but the major selling point of Unraid is making things accessible to grasp via a great GUI, IMO. Not knocking anything or anyone here, just seeing if I'm alone in that expectation to be able to backup data when even every turn-key consumer NAS appliance has plenty of backup features in the OOBE.

They could kill two birds with one stone via a GUI for ZFS snapshot scheduling and zfs send in the OOBE, IMO.

Any info about this item in the changelog? Resolved some issues with existing 1MiB aligned partitions

Not yet, but very interested in any information anyone else has about it!

Sounds interesting! I run an LSI SAS2008, which as far as I know, should be something supported by this. I've been running Unraid without any issues with my LSI SAS2008 for a few years. What are some features/functions of storcli64 that I and other Unraid users may benefit from that we're otherwise not getting in the Unraid OOBE? And are there any gotchas? E.g., having the array stopped before doing anything using it? If so, this should definitely be a warning somewhere.

Has the "Advanced View" for the Docker page gone walkies in 7.2? I can't see it anywhere.

Flash backups should be a part of the standard update process itself by default, IMO. Reasonable defaults like that are something that I hope to see more of in Unraid. Likewise, up to 7.2 and 20 years of Unraid, but still no backup facility in the OOBE. Absolutely not a sexy or fun project, but perhaps one of the most important for a distro aimed at file storage. Not knocking anything here, but I'm always perplexed when a new version brings plenty of new features, but zero progress on a backup facility. Even if it was just a way of easily assigning internal, external and remote targets for ZFS replication then throwing in a cron schedule per backup task, it's absolutely better than how it currently is. At least then users could repair a ZFS dataset if they redundantly replicate it elsewhere.

What's the recommended way to implement MAS (Matrix Authentication Service) on Unraid if you're running this Synapse container? https://element-hq.github.io/matrix-authentication-service/index.html

Thank you very much! My ad blocking plugin didn't seem to like it, so I was oblivious to it. Disabled it for local IP addresses and can see it just fine. Excellent! :- ) Quality-of-life just increased hugely!

It's very laborious moving files around via File Manager, but the performance of using Krusader within a Docker container is sub-optimal versus via File Manager. Ideally I'd be able top open up two directories independently of each other and browse through both simultaneously, allowing me to transfer files from each easily, and hopefully also queue them: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/190851-allow-queuing-jobs-in-the-file-manager/ This would make transferring data to/from external disks or other servers much less painful.

It should absolutely be baked into the OOBE. If the scripts exist, it just needs some vars injecting from fields in the GUI if the scripts are as acceptable a solution as you feel they are. Anything that manages data as a solution should of course ship with a first-party-supported backup facility. Even if the backup is just a GUI for ZFS snapshotting, replication and automatic self-repair from redundant replicated datasets. The selling point of Unraid is in how user-friendly 95% of it is. The remaining 5% being less sexy yet still very important stuff like this.
