Can I go 5.0rc11 direct to latest version? If so.. How?

[Suse User]

I've been using UnRaid since v2, but I've never jumped into all the wonderful extra features.

 

I'm on 5.0rc11, I never upgraded beyond that after a hardware compatibility scare that at the time I just didn't want to get my head around.

 

I'm happy to lose all my settings/disk allocations, but I want to ensure my data is safe.

 

2 questions:

1/ Is there a command line way to see what processor & memory my unbraid has?  It was pretty powerful at the time, but that was a few years ago.

 

2/ Is there a quick & easy way to upgrade directly to the latest version so I can start seeing what I've been missing?

 

Thanks.

It is perfectly feasible to straight to the latest UnRaid release.   This wiki article should answer your questions even though it is quite old now.  Feel free to ask questions if you need clarification.

Thank you, I've followed it carefully.

 

It appears my UnRaid is a Core2Duo CPU with 3GB Ram, I may well need to do a hardware upgrade too.

 

It'll do for now, but my UnRaid Boot USB is also 1gb, and is very old, probably since v2 or 3.   Is it complicated to swap to a new stick?  the GUID mentioned in the setup instructions is unique to that specific stick isn't it?  Is much stored on the stick in v6?

 

Thanks,

Mark.
