Finally, let me link the contents of the (IMO) excellent Modern Unix list,

Unraid isn't intended to be your daily driver, it's supposed to be an appliance that hosts stuff.

 

You should be setting up a VM to be your daily driver, and keep the Unraid space light, since it runs completely in RAM.

 

I get that everyone uses Unraid a little differently, and there are needs for customizable extras, but throwing the modern unix book at it is the wrong approach IMHO. You should be focusing on REMOVING as much as possible, and only leaving stuff that needs to be there to allow the box to run itself to the greatest extent possible. You shouldn't need to be working at the Unraid console, it's insecure since everything is root. Automate everything you can and lock it down.

Does this happen to have tools that used to be included in the old devpack plugin? Awesome to have an equivalent for nerdpack, but devpack was also indispensable for some uses! Seems to be a VERY similar codebase, so likely not a difficult port, if you're up for it!

Effectively this is a fork of the old one, with several improvements and with the updated packages, we will add the most used packages by the community little by little as they are requested and updated.

I'm happy to see this under active development.
May I request:

sg3utils-1.45-x86_64-1.txz and

mosh-1.3.2-x86_64-9cf.txz

 

thank you,

-Dan

Is there any place to see what is being worked on and/or what has already been requested?

Thanks for bringing this back! I installed my old packages, but couldn't some libs. This leads to the following error:

# nload
Error opening terminal: xterm-256color.

ncurses-term would fix this. Can it be added? utempter was also involved in this, I'm not sure however if I'd actually need it.

Hi!

Thank you for this.

 

could socat be added to this?

 

Thank you!

However, there are things lacking.  Many tasks are not addressed by the server and need to be taken care of using utilities and scripts.

Specific examples would be useful for future development efforts and prioritization. Not everyone is a mind reader to know what's needed or wanted.

Hi,

I'm having an issue where I can't remove some plugins. When I go to remove a plugin, such as powertop or sshfs I get this when I hit apply:

 

powertop-2.13 used by plugin: NerdTools
powertop-2.13 in use by another plugin, not uninstalled.

.....

sshfs-3.7.2 used by plugin: NerdTools
sshfs-3.7.2 in use by another plugin, not uninstalled.

 

Both plugins still show as installed. This doesn't happen with all packages, it doesn't with Screen for example. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks. 
 

 

Edit: I managed to manually remove those packages using removepkg. Will there be any leftovers I need to remove, or does 'removepkg' generally remove everything?

Has anybody looked at adding iperf to it? It's super useful to have and the old plugin had it but it seems to be missing in this version.

It's built into unraid now.

We are going to review a specific case because it is not removed, thanks.

 

The removepkg command removes everything related to that package

We will check if those packages are dependencies and if they are, we will add them

For the folks that keep asking for a better way to handle package requests (and for the maintainer as well), you should probably handle those as feature request issues submitted via github on the repo. 

[tristan1412]

thank you for your great job !!

Request, if it is possible, to add a IPMITOOL plugin to controll Dell Server.

 

Thanks again!

Thank you for this plugin, it's most appreciated.

 

Any chance you could update Borg? Current stable version is 1.2.2.  https://www.borgbackup.org/releases/ (installed in the pack is v1.1.15).

 

Thank you again.

Was looking for this after upgrading to 6.11. Thankyou!

Any chance to request the re-inclusion of one of the better top programs?

Btop is the actively maintained C implementation.

Bashtop (https://github.com/aristocratos/bashtop)

Could git-lfs be added?

Found that a pre-compiled package is available here: https://slackonly.com/pub/packages/15.0-x86_64/development/git-lfs/

 

I have tested that the package works.

Does Borg backup work for anyone?

 

root@Tower:~# borg -v
Traceback (most recent call last):

Looks like we need libffi.so.7. unraid  6.11.0 has libffi included but it's libffi.so.8

 

root@Tower:~# ldconfig -p |  grep ffi
        libffi.so.8 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/libffi.so.8
        libffi.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/libffi.so

I will be following this. I have been putting off updating to 6.11 because I rely on borg backups.

Nerdpack is no longer compatible with version 6.11 of unraid, you have to install this new version called nerdtools

I just installed borgmatic and I have no problems, I'm on 6.11.1

Ok perfect thanks a lot. Now the NerdTools works very well! 

[walle]

I'm really happy to see a Nerdpack replacement! Good work!

 

The only package I missing now is mtr or mtr-tiny.

 

For everyone that doesn't know, mtr is similar traceroute but with additional useful information that's really useful tool for troubleshooting network issues. You can read more about it here: https://www.linode.com/docs/guides/troubleshooting-basic-connection-issues/#mtr
