Unassigned Devices won't update. Other Dockers and Plugins work fine. I get this error when trying to update it; "plugin: updating: unassigned.devices.plg plugin: downloading: unassigned.devices-2025.04.14-x86_64-1.txz ... plugin: unassigned.devices-2025.04.14-x86_64-1.txz download failure: Generic error Executing hook script: post_plugin_checks" When I try to access the 'Apps' page I get this error "Failed to write to /boot/config/plugins/dynamix.unraid.net.plg" Any ideas where I should start?

Wilco.

My FlashDriveBackup keeps failing and I'm at a loss as to why. I also cant seem to find this temp folder the log is supposed to be in.

I still have this issue and if mcvlan isn't the issue what should I be looking into?

Does this change from macvlan to ipvlan require a restart to take affect.

1) I'm running; AMD Ryzen 5 4600G (integrated Graphics) ASUS TUF B450M-Pro S Silicon Power 32gb (2x16gb) DDR4 3200 MHz Nvidia RTX 3060ti (transcoding) 1x 256gb Patriot NVME (passthrough) 2x 512gb TeamGroup SSD (cache) 2x WD Ultrastar DC Helium 14tb HDD (parity) 4x WD Ultrastar DC Helium 10tb HDD (array) 2x Seagate Exos 12tb HDD (array) SilverStone CS382 (w/BeQuiet Fans) and UNRAID on a Samsung USB Nothing that should cause any problems. 2) I've been trying UNRAID because it was supposed to be better than TrueNAS and have better support. Honestly, that's not been my experience so far.

I have a whole home back up power switch, it just takes a few seconds to kick in. Windows doesn't break with an unexpected power loss, neither does any Mac OS, Android, TrueNAS, or any of the Linux distros I've had. Unraid doesn't get a kitchen pass just because you like it. Even with a UPS they don't last forever and would eventually run out of power themselves. They also can fail in general. I've had several that were tested weekly just fail when power was lost causing loss of air to ground radio communications.

Basically what the title says and before you go trying to blame the drive, it reads and writes fine still. UNRAID still fails to start. Only reason I'm here is to ask, "Has this happened to anyone else?" The entire server was idle at the time. Power down time was a few seconds (less then 10 for sure, likely less than 5 seconds). I am nearly certain this is not normal. This is my 10th issue with UNRAID and I'm just a freaking magnet for these things. Never could get UNRAID to boot into GUI mode by default no matter what I tried, never could get UNRAID to use the correct graphics card, etc. etc. Most of these issues always came down to the same suggestion, recreate the boot drive, reassign the HDDs in the same order, restart your array, and try again. Still never solved my issues. If your go to solution for your OS is to reinstall your entire OS, you've failed as an OS.

If I had a full license that wouldn't require calling home constantly then it works fine. Something with Lime's Authentication servers doesn't like the wifi. The wifi works in every other aspect but this. So it's a trail license problem.

That's not what happened for me.

Yeah but you can add it.

Yep that's my first one. Here is what I've got so far. - Can't test offline - Can't Transfer License to a new USB - Can't use Wifi even after added it (prob linked to the 1st one) - If you make a new trial USB you can't transfer settings

Thanks @docbillnet for the reply. I too ran through the competing options, UNRAID is a great choice in general but I quickly ran into the cliff that is the Price. I really should have checked before I started but I figured it would cost something closer to Plex Lifetime. If only. I've built my 2nd NAS already (originally meant to be my offsite backup) and I installed ProxMox with a TrueNAS VM and I'm moving files over right now. I didn't like the 'answers' support gave me on the few things I contacted lime about. Most of the limits I ran into with support were because 'A trail key can't do that.' I saw the trial as a working test and if I can't test or do things a full license can because its a trail key... WTF if the point of the trial then? I'm guessing these limitations are to prevent piracy IDK. I'm hoping to maybe come back to UNRAID if/when I can catch a Lifetime License at a discount. Make that bitter medicine go down a bit smoother. I don't know what I'd do differently in Lime's shoes. I understand their going concern value and profitability issues at a glance. Recurring charges are gold for valuation and helps improve liquidity which help move the company into a low cap position to either secure the company's future or improve investor outlook. If Lime was still in a venture cap situation maybe they could keep prices lower to try and maximize user base before their IPO but that's not the case. I can get a couple more hard drives out of some old corpo server, most likely some cast offs from work, or for less than 1/2 the cost of a Lifetime License. I just don't like the idea of having to pay for a defacto 'subscription' to get updates. So this issue of mine means I'm looking at lifetime license or nothing. I get that its 100% a personal issue so don't take my point of view as an attack on Lime or any of your personal purchase choices. Honestly, the community so far has been great. Probably the single best part of my experience with UNRAID. So thank all of you kind people for all you've contributed to my journey. I hope your drives fail rarely, if ever, and your parity is always valid.

yep, doesn't boot in any of 6 machines now. Is this yet another thing Trial accounts cant do?

Alright, I messed around with that alot and it either didn't work or I am doing something wrong.

VPN was one of the first things I started setting up. Not sure I like my current solution. Kind of wish TeamViewer had a docker. Thanks for the heads up though.

Well that'll teach me to scroll down to, and read, the FAQ more often, thanks for keeping me humble lol.

While I'm sure lots of people run it this way, I do a bunch of remote access and things that use internet access.

Thanks for the replies so far @SpencerJ and @cz13. I understand what @SpencerJ said but that doesn't really answer some of my concerns. Maybe I could do without some new feature updates and MAYBE do without some security updates for a bit, but would my Plugins and Dockers still get updates from the Apps page? Wouldn't that inevitably lead to Plugins and Dockers being incompatible with the older OS as time goes forward? @cz13, man, it looks like I just missed out on the 'Legacy' pricing which would have been FAR more approachable. I'm just not there I think. IDK if I can bring myself to add another 'subscription' to my life. I hate the ones I forced into now, and $250 is just... too damn much. I wouldn't trust an OS that isn't getting updates on any of my machines. So it looks like I'm stuck either with an annual subscription or a massive upfront cost. @SpencerJ Do you know what the Pricing for that looks like by chance? Maybe purchasing 'Unleased License' in year one and upgrading to 'Lifetime License' in year two would be more approachable. Guess I'm going to put together a rig to move my data off of the UNRAID machine (I haven't set up a back up system yet so its all on one machine for now). If the upgrade path doesn't end up working for me then I'll have to check back for the sales if I can remember. See if I can justify the Lifetime price then.

Honestly, Unraid is good so far. I've been using Windows Server for years but after doing some research for my home NAS I came across TrueNAS Core, TrueNAS Scale, UNRAID, OpenMediaVault, etc. I decided to give one of these dedicated NAS operating systems a shot. I decided on UNRAID as it was supposed to have the most user friendly experience of the options. Not sure I'd call any of them user friendly on hindsight. TBH I hadn't touched linux since 2002/2003 and was... rusty... to say the least. But when I think of 'User Friendly' I think of the general computer user, not experienced computer hobbyists/professionals. I want to purchase UNRAID but man the price is killing me. I've got 11 devices attached so I'm already looking at the 'Unleashed License' for $109 +tax etc., but that only comes with updates for a year. After that year what happens? Does my system slowly march towards becoming a useless brick when all the Docker/VM support moves forward without me? So, then I think maybe the better option would be the 'Lifetime License' at $249 +tax etc. for the lifetime updates. But holy crap... $250 for NAS software? I can get a Windows Server 2019 key for $16 +tax with support for YEARS and YEARS. Admittedly, UNRAID has better/different features but not $230 dollars worth ffs. I could just run BTRFS on Windows and be basically there. So there is my dilemma. Now here are the core questions; -What happens after the '1 year' of updates to your system? Would I have to purchase another $109 +tax 'Unleashed License' to get updates? -Does UNRAID ever go on sale? -Does anyone got a discount code or something? -If everything else fails, should I just go back to Windows Server? Is there something else I should try before giving up?

Wilco. It'll take me a few minutes.

I tried the NON-UEFI boot option as described above and got 'This is not a bootable disk. Please insert a bootable floppy and press any key to try again...' Any suggestions

Same problem here but with AMD iGPU and PCIe GTX 1060.

+1 from me as well. I'd love to have it available for initial setup and as a backup incase of hardline failure (Switches Dying, UPS for Switches Failing etc.)
