Most VM settings can only be changed with it powered down. The main machine I use is a VM so if I need to made a change to it that requires it to be turned off, it's a bit of a hassle because I have to do it on my phone or laptop or something. I think it would be useful to have a feature that would allow you to make changes to the VM from the VM itself (while live) and then just reboot and the changes would be made during the reboot.

I've been using it for probably 15 years or more and it keeps getting better. There is paid support now as as well as free. What exactly are you having issues with? Just saying it doesn't work isn't very constructive.

Neither BattlEye nor EasyAntiCheat working for me in Forntnite anymore. Anyone else?

I do already have one of those for my CPU. It works great but the radiator takes up a lot of space. I have four video cards so adding four more would be a nightmare.

That's a very good point. That's kind of a big part of my issue is the hybrid nature of this server makes it difficult to manage. Are liquid cooling failures common?

I've never delved into liquid cooling but now I'm thinking about doing so. The problem is that it's for my UnRAID server and that's not really a good place for a beginner to start. The server has lots of drives and video cards, beefy CPU, etc. so adding a lot of fans means a lot of noise and worse, vibration. So the setup isn't a basic one for liquid cooling. Any tips on where to start with something this involved?

Lol, I feel dumb. I don't know what the cause was but I forgot the first rule of IT troubleshooting. I rebooted.

I am pulling my hair out trying to figure this out. I have a Python script that doesn't work properly in UnRAID and I can't figure out why. The script should take a few minutes to do some processing and the outputs say what it did and how long it took, etc. For some reason, I try to run it in UnRAID and it instantly finishes with no errors but doesn't actually do anything expect output to the screen. It says it took 0 seconds. But it's not a code issue, it runs fine on at least 3 other environments (including a slackware 15 docker). I don't get any errors and nothing in my debug logs. It's so strange because it's like it is skipping over everything but the print statements and I don't see how that can be an environmental issue. I tried using a venv and running it with the global python and it's the same thing. I have python, pip, and python-setuptools all installed with Nerd Tools and I even reinstalled them. I gave the script 777 permissions. I can't figure out that is different about UnRAID environment. I'm at a loss. Any ideas?

Excellent work. Much cleaner interface, more options, inline help added. I like being able to run a script before or after the backup. I think it could already do part of that but the options were a bit confusing before. I have a script that will reboot the server if UnRAID was updated and awaiting reboot. I previously had it in user scripts but it's nicer to include it with this process as it makes more sense and is easier to manage.

It's never a convenient time for me to reboot my server after I update UnRAID. Sometimes it take me days and sometimes there is a another update before I get around to rebooting. So I reverse-engineered the part of the webUI that displays the the "reboot required" message to determine if an upgrade is awaiting a reboot and wrote this small script: content=$(head -c 20 "/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/unRAIDServer/README.md") if [[ $content =~ ^\*\*(REBOOT REQUIRED|DOWNGRADE) ]]; then powerdown -r fi You can place it in User Scripts or use the latest "Backup/Restore Appdata" plugin and run it before or after a scheduled backup. Remember to make it executable (chmod +x).

Ok, that's pretty much what I was thinking. I just wanted to make sure. Thankfully the issue I am having isn't related to the release.

I have been having issue with my VM since I updated to UnRAID 6.12 from 6.11.5. I hoped 6.12.1 would have resolved my issues but it didn't. I don't know if the update has anything to do with it so I am going to revert to 6.11.5 and see if that helps. However, the update menu in the UI only reverts to the previous version, which is 6.12. Is there a better way to do that other than just downloading 6.11.5 and placing it on the flash drive? Normally I wouldn't hesitate but a lot has changed with 6.12 so I'd rather stick to the prescribed way of doing things as much as possible.

Every time there is an update to UnRAID I need to reboot. It's never a convenient time to do so as so many things rely on it. I have the plugins to automatically backup and update my UnRAID apps. I figured I can add a script after those run to see if UnRAID has been updated and is waiting to be rebooted. To be clear, I want to keep updating UnRAID manually so I can keep apprised of issues and changes and all that. It's just the rebooting afterwards I want to automate. UnRAID has that banner notification to restart to finish the update so I am trying to figure out how to utilize that or the API or something.

I considered that but I don't know how to do that. What does that 'cond' do? I've been using examples but haven't found much documentation on the plg format options.

Yeah, I didn't word it very well. I'm still toying with how I want to do things. To rephrase, the first tab is the main tab and the second tab is the settings. Basically, if I go to the plugin through Tools in the UnRaid webui it should go to the first tab and if I go to the plugin through the Settings in the webui, it should go to the second tab, which is my plugin settings. I hope that clears things up.

I am working on a plugin that has 2 tabs, main and settings. Main is the first tab and settings is the second tab. I'm having issues trying to access different parts of my plugin from different parts of the webui in a cohesive way. I'd like it so in the UnRaid webui under Settings>User Utilities I can click on my plugin icon and it will go to the settings tab of my plugin. I'd also like to go to the UnRaid webui under Tools>Disk Utilities and click on my plugin and have it go to the main tab. I don't know if there is any way to do this. I can have it with no tabs at all but that isn't very user friendly for the user having to go through more clicks in the webui. Any auggestions?

Support link at the bottom of the settings page is dead, BTW. It point to http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=53693.0

It always takes me forever to reboot my server after I update UnRaid because I use it so much and it's never a convenient time. I use the autoupdate and autobackup plugins but I don't see any way to schedule a reboot after UnRaid is updated. I know I can just make a user script or something but I was wondering if there is already something available. I haven't come across anything yet.

Unfortunately the plugin won't really work as a Docker container. I could probably rewrite it to use sqlite but it's not ideal. The data structure I am using lends itself better to nosql. So I'm still looking for a way to do it as planned. I know 6.12 of unraid will be changing the PHP version as well, so I'm going to work with that.

I'm working on a plugin that needs the mongodb driver and I'm trying to figure out how to add it to the UnRAID PHP. It looks like it doesn't have pecl, which is how the documentation says to install it. I'm not sure where to go from here since UnRAID seems to have a customized PHP version.

This container uses Arch Linux. The package manager for arch is pacman. Read here on how to install packages with pacman: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/pacman

Right now, this is a Python script for UnRAID to search for duplicates. It's very fast.

Right not it's just a one-time scan and you view the results. I appreciate any feedback or polite criticisms. https://github.com/bobbintb/UnRAID-DeDuper

I got it connected to git but it keeps asking for the login/token. I have to use token since it can't open a browser, which is fine, but the issue is it keeps asking for it just about any time I do a git operation. Anyone figure out how to get it to stay?

I just noticed, the support forum link in the plugin is outdated and invalid.
