We will not restrict access to community applications, we intend to keep it a free add-on to the OS. CA is one of the best parts about Unraid, restricting it behind a paywall would be a bad experience for everyone! If we charge for something it would be a service for us to provide you cloud storage to backup to, not in the form of restricting the backup feature unless you pay - this distinction is very important in my opinion - I don't want to restrict base features of the OS behind a paywall, I'd like to allow us to make your life easier by providing a one-click backup target in the future, but in U8 we'll be providing support for hundreds of backup targets that you can bring yourself! Please keep bringing these concerns to us, we really appreciate the forum and space to provide clarification!

Hi @Qballjos ! Thank you so much for raising this concern, we take these kinds of comments really seriously and want to make sure that you understand how Unraid is approaching these sorts of concerns! I agree that there needs to be a clear distinction between Unraid OS and the optional online services around it. Our direction for Unraid 8 is to keep an Unraid account optional for local server operation and management. Preserving the ability to run your server locally, without depending on our infrastructure or an ongoing internet connection after licensing and activation, is a fundamental implementation requirement—not something we intend to gradually move away from. Unraid 8 does intend to bring more systems into a consistent, integrated user experience. But better integration must not mean mandatory participation. We want to make these features easier to discover and use for people who find them valuable, while respecting the choice of users who prefer to manage everything locally or use their own alternatives. Not using our online services should be a supported choice, not something you have to work around. On privacy, I want to be explicit: we will not collect telemetry without your explicit opt-in. Any telemetry system we introduce will be disabled by default and fully optional. Its purpose will be to improve the experience for users, with a clear explanation of what is collected and why, and the ability to turn it off again. Signing into an account or upgrading Unraid should not be treated as consent to telemetry, and declining it should not restrict local functionality. I also want to be precise about “phoning home.” An online feature necessarily communicates with other systems to do what you’ve asked it to do—for example, downloading an update or using a remote service. That is different from silently reporting how you use your server or requiring it to check in with us to keep functioning. Our commitment is to preserve local operation independently of those optional services, without unsolicited telemetry. The same principle guides application management and backups: making them easier to use should not mean taking away control of your workloads or forcing you to store your data with us. Your ability to own, control, and run your own server is central to what Unraid is. We want Unraid 8 to improve that experience, not compromise the independence that made you choose it in the first place. So to recap, we don’t plan to compromise on privacy. Almost everyone who works at the company is an Unraid user just like you, and we all dislike how much telemetry and data collection is happening in other products we use, we will make sure we don’t go down this path with Unraid OS!

We investigated this, are you using the python apprise library? We don't have the error message you mentioned, this is not a part of our apprise-go port.

I'm gonna chime in here and say that we really want to support ARM, and one of the reasons we're moving distros is to make that easier. Our software all runs on ARM if we compile it that way, it's just a matter of getting the builds moved over Modern automated build systems make flipping the switch for this much less painful, but obviously there will be plugin incompatibility issues at first.

Hi everyone! I'm really excited to introduce our newest team member to Unraid - @jmagar ! Jake is starting with us as a Jr. Software engineer and will be working on Unraid OS - here's what he has to say about himself: I’m a software engineer, homelab enthusiast, and serial tinkerer with a habit of turning “I wonder if I could…” into projects that somehow consume an entire weekend. I love self-hosting, open source, AI, 3D printing, and making computers do things they probably weren’t intended to do. I’m happiest when I’m building something new, figuring out how something works, or coming up with a wildly over-engineered solution to a problem that probably had a perfectly reasonable answer already. More importantly, I’m the proud dad of my awesome 5-year-old daughter, Charlie, and human sidekick to my ridiculously cute doggo, Wilson. They keep life interesting when I finally manage to step away from the keyboard. Outside of code, I’m a live music and festival junkie, 3D printing nerd, and firm believer that some of the best food on the planet comes through the window of a food truck. I love discovering new music, getting lost in a festival crowd, finding incredible food in unexpected places, and printing random things because owning a 3D printer has apparently convinced me that everything in life needs a custom plastic solution. Basically, give me good people, loud music, great food, something to build, and a problem I can make unnecessarily complicated, and I’m pretty happy.

@bmartino1 - is this working again for you?

@wgstarks - sorry we missed this, is it working for you now? Seems to be a bug in Invision upstream when using elasticsearch for searching, so I had to patch this in a sort of unconventional way.

I Figured out why this is happening - and I think fixed it. If you continue to have issues you can likely reboot your server to fix this (was due to a file name change that wasn’t cleaned up)

Unraid OS 7.2.8 is a maintenance release that focuses on security, reliability, and keeping the platform current across storage, virtualization, networking, and web management. See the docs for more information : https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/release-notes/7.2.8/

It's fixed! We need to figure out why that logo is showing and not the Unraid logo, but thank you for the heads up.

Oh boy we will get that fixed ASAP.

We've had to re-host our forum off of IPS Cloud, which lost this feature - I've attempted to re-create the gist of it and it seems like it's working great, so let me know if this works as you'd expect :)

Should be fixed now!
