SamHill Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 I know I am dating myself with this question. I never felt the need to upgrade since it worked for my needs. I know am having issues with my PC connecting to the server shorcuts I have made. Thought it may be time to upgrade. Quote Link to comment
bonienl Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 I would go for the "straightforward" way and start from scratch. This is the right time to start with a 'clean' system. Copy your existing *.key file on your USB drive to your PC or another safe place, you'll need it later Take a screenshot of your current disk assignments, it allows you to re-enter them later Make a list of your current user names Download the installer for your preferred system Use the installer to create a new Unraid OS on your existing USB drive Copy your license key to the folder /config on your USB drive Start your Unraid system with the updated USB drive Configure your disk assignments as before (see earlier screenshot) Set a root password Create the user names as listed before All shares will be automatically created as public accessible Configure each share with the access permissions as desired You have now a basic installation with disks and shares running as before Do further tweaking and installations as desired (there is a lot more in Unraid V6 that can be done) Quote Link to comment
