Dead Man's Switch is a plugin that requires periodic check-ins from the server owner. If you stop checking in, it triggers configurable actions (deleting files/folders, running scripts) after a deadline passes. Built for privacy-conscious users who want automated cleanup if they become unable to manage their server. Requirements: Unraid 6.12.0 or later Install URL: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dereckhall/unraid-deadmans-switch/main/plugin/deadman-switch.plg After installing, go to Settings > Dead Man's Switch to configure. Features Configurable check-in interval (default: 30 days) Grace period with extra hours after the deadline before actions fire Trigger actions: delete files/folders with glob pattern support, or run custom bash scripts Dry run mode to safely preview exactly what would happen before going live Arm / Disarm / Pause controls Double-miss protection: optionally require two consecutive missed deadlines before triggering Dashboard tile with real-time countdown Notifications Discord webhooks with rich embeds, color-coded severity, and one-click check-in links Custom webhooks to any HTTP endpoint Uptime Kuma push heartbeat monitoring Warning thresholds at 50%, 75%, 90%, and 95% of elapsed time External API (port 3801) A lightweight API server runs on port 3801, separate from Unraid's authenticated nginx. Supports remote check-ins, status queries, and token-based quick check-in URLs. CORS enabled for Home Assistant and browser clients.
