mfmaa03 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 hi i have used Unraid from 2017 for a couple of years then I moved to Synology and now moving back to Unraid and have a few questions: 1- I have the USB drive of my Unraid how do I install the last version and reset the configurations I want to set up everything like new 2- Are there any major changes or tutorials I should read before jumping back in. Thank you Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 You will need to copy the license .key file from the config folder on flash, then you can just do a new install of the latest version and put that .key file on. Quote Link to comment

The licence file is tied to the GUID of the flash drive for which it is licensed. There is a process for transferring the licence to a new USB drive (and black-listing the old one), but you will not need to use that if you continue to use the same USB drive. Quote Link to comment
mfmaa03 Posted January 6, 2022 Author Share Posted January 6, 2022 thanks everything has been set up perfectly. Quick question is it better to use apps or dockers which would be better to use? Quote Link to comment

Except for plugins, all apps in Community Applications are Docker containers. I am not sure what you mean ? Quote Link to comment

Hoopster Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 1 minute ago, mfmaa03 said: sorry you are correct plugins or Docker. In general, if an app is available as both a plugin and a Docker container, go with the Docker container. The whole idea of a container is that it is isolated from other processes on the host and if there is a problem with the container, it should not affect other processes. Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Depends upon your use case for this. AFAIK the plugin would be a better choice if you're using the mounts as a backup destination or pointing other containers (Plex?) at them for media storage Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 But, @Hoopster is correct for this. Although there are few and far between cases where there is a choice. OTOH, rclone is the only one right now. Quote Link to comment
