  1. I tried finding windows version of NUT but looks to be unix only. I do have one machine on Windows. Can find an ancient version but nothing recent.
  2. I see......I enabled the default feature ConnerVT mentioned it seems to work fine. I was trying to figure out what the NUT plugin ads to the default feature. From the screen shot you provided I cant tell what extra you get with the plugin.
  3. awesome thank you I will try that out What feature are you getting with the NUT plugin that you are not getting with the standard functionality?
  4. 8hrs........Think my last parity build was 33hrs
  5. Anyone know if any utilities exist that work with UPS backup batteries? Unraid parity dislikes just about everything but it really hates being shut down abruptly. Most of these Cyberpower backups have a USB cable that connects to the PC they are connected to. Which will then tell the PC to gracefully shut down during a power outage. Any such support exist in unraid apps?
  6. /mnt/user/appdata/nextcloud/nginx/site-confs/default.conf add_header X-Robots-Tag "noindex, nofollow, nosnippet, nofollow" always; I also have it in the swag nginx container Any clue why I still get this?
  7. Kinda curious was the option to eliminate the lower tiers and just sell pro licenses at the prior pricing model considered? If I just think of OS costs. New pricing structure has unraid costing more then WIN11. We are all kinda guessing here as we do not know the percentage of customers are at which version of unraid. But could the problem have been solved moving everyone up?
  8. Not sure I understand the ZFS direction either. But maybe the see demand from somewhere they think will bring in the dollars.
  9. Might help if they implemented an actual cache drive. For unraid with the new pricing structure folks are going to expect features JMO. Which to date they have been fairly slow at rolling out. Maybe that improves, but if they think it will business as usual I think they are in for a rude awakening. There are going to be the die hard fans that unraid can do no wrong. But if we are actually honest with ourselves new pricing is going to cause a serious eval of whether a home user thinks the features provided justify the added cost. It would be a no for me. And nothing against unraid its fairly decent software. The fragility of parity and no real cache drive support are concerns in my book that would have me weighing other options.
  10. Your examples are providing new content every month. Patches while important do not rise to that level JMO. A patch is a fix to a hole that never should have existed. Unraid feature wise that is something an individual user would need to decide. If new features have come out I am unaware of them. I think the last major feature was ZFS support which I do not use. I do not know how much unraid is used in the commercial environment. To me it doesnt seem like it is feature rich enough to be popular in the commercial market. Seems more of a consumer grade product but maybe I am wrong. I do not see people complaining. Just folks that are current customers expressing if they would be a customer under the new pricing scheme. Whether the new pricing scheme is successful or not only time will tell. I wish the unraid team nothing but success.
  11. This is what drives folks to open source software (but maybe not sell a perpetual license to begin with?). From a business perspective I get it. These folks do work to provide updates. No one wants to work for free. I guess we will see how it goes. I'll be building another system in the next month or so but after discovering this thread it wont be unraid. And not a hit against unraid but I'd rather bite the bullet and just switch early. You are discussing how a company chooses to categorize its products. The customer doesn't care how YOU categorize it. The customer cares how it affects their bottom line. If it has a reoccurring fee its a subscription. You can try and convince your customer until you are blue in the face its not a subscription. Most likely they will just get annoyed with you and move on.
  12. Slice it any way you want its a subscription. Other SW venders have a similar model, updates end and your SW still works you just no longer get improvements. I know for sure I wouldn't even have messed with unraid. I wont mention who I would have gone with as that is a bit tacky on a vendors page. But there are other "freeware" options out there that are just as capable. I was running one of them and was overall happy. I switched because I thought there was an issue with at the time a 13900 running on their SW. The linux kernel was newer on unraid. Turned out to be a HW issue (motherboard) that for some reason ran slightly better on unraid but did eventually pop up under unraid. I could have gone back after discovering the real issue but was overall happy with the forum support on unraid. And I dont mind supporting decent SW development. Subscriptions are just a no go for me though. They can quickly get out of hand once you start adding them all up. Plus I am allergic to subscription models 😄
  13. One of the reasons some of us moved to home labs, to avoid cloud based subscriptions fees. I'll throw my $.02 in as a user for under a year. At the new pricing model I likely would NOT have been a customer. I purchased a pro license when only needing the lower tier license (currently have 5 drives) just to support the folks making the SW. I however would have purchased none of the licenses if it required an annual fee. I am allergic to subscription based models. The proof will be in the pudding. Either new customers will flee or grumble and accept it. Maybe with the new pricing model they can afford to implement a real cache drive? Maybe some ECC protection on parity so it doesn't dump the parity drive on error? Currently failures tend to be catastrophic to parity which weakens the value of the feature JMO.
  14. Going to bump this one. I know unraid is not a firewall but you are telling folks to go buy a cheap router as the solution? Cheap routers have vulnerabilities. Heck even expensive ones do. Just curious of how you folks think sticking a router in front of unraid is providing the needed security? If you forward any ports from the router to unraid then unraid is at risk. It would be nice if Unraid had some kind of protection or monitoring capability. Any docker/VM suggestions?
  15. Changed the board the parity drive is attached to from a JMB 582 to a JMB 585 that has a heat sink attached. Will see if that fixes the issue. Should know in a month or two.
