If the point is Unraid should have 2FA because the router might have a default login or some such vulnerability, I think you should focus on that and not Unraid. I know, layers of security and all, but Unraid isn't really the issue in that scenario. I really don't see a point in 2FA for a NAS anyway. If you're using Unraid how it's designed to be used (in a LAN and not accessible to the outside and all that), realistically, 2FA would just serve to make the user feel more secure without really being so in any practical sense. Only if you plan on doing something very ill-advised.

I got tired of my crappy shell scripts, manual editing of plugin files, and scouring sparse documentation so I finally made a proper tool to generate a plg file. I thought I'd share it. Feedback is welcomed. https://github.com/bobbintb/UnRAID-Plugin-Generator

This is for Docker Compose, not just plain Docker. The difference is Docker runs a single container and Docker Compose can be used to run multiple related containers in conjunction. Suppose you have an application that requires a database backend and you want to run that application in a Docker container. You could have the application and the database running on a single Docker container, but there are a myriad or reasons why you wouldn't want to do that. In your case, instead of having all those applications in one single Docker container, Seedbox uses Docker compose files to group all those Docker containers together and configure them to work together. Unraid does not natively support Docker Compose but there is a plugin for it. If you are still looking to set this up, PM me. But honestly, it might be better to just install the Dockers in Unraid the normal way.

I have some tools I made for my personal use that I haven't released yet. This will add an Unraid template to the VM tab: https://github.com/bobbintb/unraid_vm_template You just need to manually install it. Here is the plugin URL: https://github.com/bobbintb/unraid_vm_template/raw/refs/heads/main/bobbintb.system.unraidvm.plg I've been thinking about updating the docs myself but haven't yet. I also have a plugin generator, to simplify the process: https://github.com/bobbintb/UnRAID-Plugin-Generator/

Well, my profile was created in 2008 so somewhere around that time. I was probably messing around with it for a bit before I joined the forums. So almost 20 years. I feel old now.

Put this in /boot/extra https://github.com/bobbintb/Slackware_Packages/raw/refs/heads/main/builds/bitwarden-cli/bitwarden-cli-2025.3.0-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz

Sorry for the late reply. Run this : curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bobbintb/UnRAID-Dev-edition/refs/heads/main/slackpkg.sh | sh You can uncomment repos at the bottom of the /etc/slackpkg/slackpkg.conf file. Make sure you update slackpkg after you add another repo.

Yes, thank you for that addition. I gave the standard back up warning but should have mentioned that as well. EDIT: I cleaned it up a bit. I made a patch for libvirt_helpers.php so now it just adds the needed lines in the correct location instead of replacing the whole file. That way it shouldn't break anything with VM Manager. I also removed some unrelated files.

Hmmm... I've been meaning to try a SteamOS VM myself. I seem to recall one could just download the ISO and install it like any other OS but it seems like that is not the case anymore. My initial research indicates that since the Steam Deck came out, SteamOS has undergone major changes with v3.0 and they only have a recovery image for SteamOS. But there is a guide of sorts on Steam to put it on other hardware: https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/1B71-EDF2-EB6D-2BB3 I haven't tried it myself though. There's also HoloISO, which has taken the recovery image and repackaged it into an installer. It seems many are using that for now, until Steam provides an official general use ISO. https://github.com/HoloISO/releases Looks like the link is broken but it's still on their site: https://cd2.holoiso.ru.eu.org/holoiso-installer/rel/

Have you tried the SteamOS VM template? What it is exactly you need help with?

Hello, I've been working on something that may help you out: https://github.com/bobbintb/UnRAID-Dev-edition https://github.com/bobbintb/unraid_vm_template/ It's a work in progress. Take the dynamix.vm.manager folder and drop it into your plugins folder (everything except the ubuntu-isos.php file). Make sure you back up any files before you overwrite them. This will add the option to create an UnRaid VM in the webui in UnRaid. It takes care of all the details for you. You just select the version. If you don't want to make the VM in UnRaid itself you can copy and convert the disk image it creates and use it in VMWare or something similar. Edit: I forgot I actually had a functional plugin for personal use so you don't need to install it manually.

Added. I don't use it so let me know if there are issues.

Support for Unraid VM template. Placeholder, not much at the moment.

Ah, ok. That's what I was looking for, thanks. I figure it was the same, just couldn't find the plugin specific XML stuff.

The CA support page has links covering how to get an application added. Coincidently, I was just looking for information on how to get a plugin added to CA. I can only find information about Docker.

I'll probably eventually wrap up the disparate pieces I have into a 'dev mode' plugin not available in CA. I have an Unraid docker container I use for building the package: https://github.com/bobbintb/unraid-docker https://hub.docker.com/r/bobbintb/unraid-cicd This is the docker container my repo uses to build the packages. The repo is GPG signed and all the pipelines and build scripts are available in the repo for full transparency. I use slackbuild scripts from slackbuilds.org when possible. You can copy the shell code from the unraid-cicd Dockerfile to set up all the repo stuff in an existing unraid install. I haven't used un-get. There are already several other existing applications for slackware that I started using before I found out about it. The docker container (and the shell code in the dockerfile) has a bunch of extra repos from https://slackware.nl/slakfinder/ but only the useful ones. They are all disabled by default though, so you have to enable the ones you want to use. I built this all out to aid in my plugin development. I am still working on a plugin so I am not that focused on this at the moment but as I said, I'll probably eventually put a bow on it and make it into a `dev mode` plugin. I also have a VM template for that will let you choose which version of unraid to install in a vm and automatically set it up. There's probably other stuff I am forgetting.

I've been heavily delving into ebpf the last few months so I just wanted to add a bit more info. Unraid does have ebpf enabled in the kernel, but this option is needed for bpf CO:RE, which is pretty much what everything is written for now. If a bpf program doesn't use CO:RE, then it must be compiled for a specific kernel version, and recompiled if the kernel makes changes to structure layouts, which is a real pain to manage. So pretty much anything with ebpf will use CO:RE nowadays to avoid this. Basically, even though Unraid has all the bpf flags enabled in the kernel, it doesn't really matter as long as this one is still disabled. There's a lot of interesting and useful things ebpf can more easily bring to Unraid with this option.

I have a repo with automated builds set up for several packages built for unraid 7. It's pretty mature at this point so adding a new package is usually pretty trivial: https://github.com/bobbintb/Slackware_Packages/

I would like this option enabled as well. There are other things that rely on it, especially ebpf related stuff. Docker containers use the host kernel so using a Docker won't work.

Unless I am misunderstanding you, doesn't it already have that? Like this?:

It's not as on-demand like you're asking but there is the `Auto Update Applications` plugin. You can select which Docker containers and plugins to update automatically on a schedule. I have mine set to update everyday in the middle of the night.

A simpler solution might be to not even bother with the licensing in such an event. You could mirror the drive without the license file, and if the first one fails to boot the second drive boots into the free trial mode. Then you can just get the license transferred. This is something that could be set up yourself now, without a new feature added or Limetech having to change the backend registration process.

I did have the Mover Tuning plugin installed at one point but if I recall, that was because I was hoping it would resolve the issue. I reboot in safe mode and the mover seemed to run. I rebooted normally and ran it again but it seems to be doing the same files. I guess it didn't move anything but says they have dangling links. I'm not sure what that's about. I attached another diagnostic. tower-diagnostics-20250125-1618.zip

It seems for a while now, and I'm not sure how long, the mover doesn't seem to move anything and I can't figure out why. The files aren't in use. There are no files of the same name and location on the array. The share is set to cache then array. The files aren't the top level or in a folder that starts with a period. I've checked everything I can think of to check. I see the command run in syslog but the files are still there. I don't see it show anything else in the log but I don't know if it is stower-diagnostics-20250121-1429.zipupposed to. The command only runs for a couple of seconds. I've attached my diagnostics. Any help is appreciated.
