Announcements for Unraid Connect

Hey Everyone!

 

We're very excited to announce **Unraid Connect**, the successor to My Servers!

 

If you want to skip reading, update your plugin, then view the dashboard at https://connect.myunraid.net

 

To update your plugin, head over to the Plugins tab and check for updates - Unraid Connect (previously My Servers) version 2023.04.25.0813 is now available!

 

Unraid Connect

- My Servers is now Unraid Connect - enjoy a dedicated website with an entirely new design, far more server insights, and tons of new features. Visit https://connect.myunraid.net to get started.

- Dynamic Remote access let's you enable and disable WAN access to your server whenever you need to use it from a remote location.

- UPNP support for your server dashboard

- Manage your server from within Connect - when equipped with a myunraid.net domain, you can view your server inside of Unraid Connect. The dashboard links directly to relevant pages on your server to make navigation easier.

 

This version resolves:

- Issue where API would repeatedly disconnect

- Issue where API would get stuck in an endless disconnection cycle and never maintain connection

- Issue where API would not reconnect until unraid-api restart was run

- Upgrade all dependencies to the latest.

 

 

Plugin Update May 1, 2023

 

## 2023.05.01.1138

 

### This version adds:

 

Much faster Docker resolution on the main Connect dashboard

 

### This version resolves:

- Storage payload was incorrect

- Potential issues with toLowerCase

- Issues with troubleshoot in the sign in page

- New "Download Logs" button on the management access page to help troubleshoot issues with Connect

- Fix bug loading default server banner (if you are using the beach image)

- Docker events were not working before

 

Plugin Update May 3, 2023

## 2023.05.03.1227
 

### This version resolves:

- The "Dynamic - Manual Port Forward" Remote Access option requires "Use SSL" to be set to "Strict"
- Certain popup windows would not have a "Done" button when embedded in an iframe on Connect

 

*Note about the Dynamic - Manual Port Forward: *

We had to make this change because even though the server will not respond to requests through the myunraid.net domain, it would still have responded on your IP address. If you were using this option and did not set useSSL to strict, please change your settings.

Plugin Update September 6, 2023
 

## 2023.09.06.1307

 

### This version adds:

 

New UPC (sign in / sign up code) allowing much more responsive logins and user inputs (no more popups!)

### This version resolves:

 

Libvirt Errors When Running the Plugin in 6.12
 

### Known Issues: 

Sometimes you may have to click the sign in button and sign in twice to properly sign in, we're working on a fix but wanted to get this out for the users that are having issues with Libvirt.

 

 

## 2024.01.09.1413

 

### This version adds:

- A new OS Update process, detailed here https://unraid.net/blog/new-update-os-tool
- A new  Tools > Registration page
- Streamlined header and Connect dropdown
- Improved API stability with a brand new API client
- Exposed setting for extra origins, useful if you run behind a reverse proxy

 

### This version resolves:

- Always bundle the new UI code to prevent an issue where your login screen could be out of date.

Plugin Update: Jan 11, 2024

 

## 2024.01.11.1434

Plugin Updates (Mar 6, Mar 25, 2024

 

2024.03.06.0724

This version resolves:

- Issues with special characters in server names

- Some other miscellaneous problems with parsing and displaying server content

- update os check modal date format

 

2024.03.25.0626

This version resolves:
- Minor UI fixes
- Cleanup of unused scripts

 

Plugin Update: May 15, 2024

 

2024.05.14.1222
 

This version adds: 

• Improved compatibility with Unraid 6.13
• Enhancements to the Tools > Registration page
• Enhancements to the OS Update routine
• The unraid-api must be signed in and connected to Unraid Connect Cloud for flash backups to run
• Limit individual files in flash backup to 30 MB. Larger files will no longer be tracked.
• Ensure flash backup runs at least weekly so that "steady state" backups don't appear to be abandoned.
• Fix a potential bug that could prevent flash backups from running

 

This version resolves:

• Update link to Unraid Discord on the Connect Settings page

Hey everyone, we are having issues with Unraid Connect Flash Backup. If you want to prevent your system from continuously trying to backup, navigate to Settings -> Management Access -> Unraid Connect and Deactivate & Delete your backup.

 

To make sure you have a good backup locally, go to Main -> Boot Device -> Flash -> Flash Backup

 

 

Update - Flash backup is working again! It will likely recover on its own the next time something needs to be backed up. Or if desired, you can manually press update one time. Be patient, wait at least five minutes before pressing it again : )

 

 

Plugin update Aug 13, 2024

 

2024.08.13.1115

 

This version adds: 

• The maximum size of any file in the backup is limited to 10MB
• The overall flash backup size is limited to 100MB. If the flash backup is larger than that it will automatically be deleted and recreated. This removes unused historical information so the backup will take up less space.
• The `config/plugins/dynamix.file.integrity/logs` directory is now excluded from the backup. This solution is intended to backup configuration information so you can get back up and running quickly, logs are not needed for that.
• For more information about Flash Backup see https://docs.unraid.net/go/connect-flash-backup/ 

This version resolves:

• Fix broken links to the docs

Just a heads up that soon you will need Unraid 6.12.0 or higher to use Unraid Connect. If you are still on an older version of Unraid, please upgrade the OS or uninstall Unraid Connect.

Plugin Update Sep 3, 2024

 

2024.09.03.1147

 

This version adds:

• The minimum OS version required to use Unraid Connect is now 6.12.0
• Support for generic FQDN routes as specified in your Nginx configuration. For example the Tailscale routes can serve your myunraid.net certificate, allowing you to use Connect when connected through Tailscale
• We now support remote querying for all data - this will allow more flexible feature buildout for Connect. Some components on the Connect dashboard will appear broken until you have upgraded this plugin.

 

This version resolves:

• Remove unneeded hosts file entry on older OS versions
• Rate limit flash backup activation

⚠️ Warning: Flash backup on older Unraid Connect plugins will be disabled shortly has been disabled. Please update your Unraid Connect plugin to continue backing up your flash drive.

2024.09.11.1029

 

This version adds:
- Reduce backup frequency from every minute to once every 30 minutes

 

This version resolves:
- Fix PHP warnings when backing up files
- Remove unneeded hosts file entry before provisioning certificates

2025.02.06.2108

🚀 New Features:

• New Notification System: Overhauled notification handling with filtering, archiving, and improved UI. Built ground-up using the GraphQL API with the help of our new developers!
• New Unraid API CLI: Call unraid-api --help to see the new options we've added to the CLI.
• API Key Management: Added CLI commands for API key creation and management.
• GraphQL Enhancements: Enable Dev Mode using the API unraid-api developer and use the sandbox located at SERVER-URL/graphql to write and debug API calls!
• Single Sign-On (SSO): Optional feature—use unraid-api sso add-user to enable single sign-on with your Unraid.net account. No files are changed until this feature is enabled—your security is of the utmost importance to us.

🛠 Fixes & Improvements:

• New Process Management – PM2: Ensures reliable startup and auto-restart behavior. Replaces bundling with pkg in favor of natively running Node.js, for enhanced performance and debugging. (And for an open-source API release soon!)
• Log Rotation: Automatic log rotation added to improve performance and debugging.
• Better API Logging & Debugging: More detailed logs for tracking API behavior.
• Performance Improvements: Optimizations across the board for a smoother experience.

Hey All! 

We've fixed as many outstanding bugs as we can with the release today, please upgrade and let us know in the #📝・connect-help Discord channel, or on the forums if you're still having issues!

We also are noticing a lot of users that may be bypassing the session authentication in Unraid, this _will_ break the API. You must find a way to create a valid session token even if using authentik in order for the API to continue to function, as it relies on the Unraid token for auth, even if Unraid OS has auth disabled. (We also highly recommend _not_ disabling authentication in Unraid OS as this creates a pretty significant security risk if your server is exposed on your network in any way).

Here's the changelog: 

 

2025.02.20.0835

Bug Fixes

- Enhanced notification count syncing in web interface
- Modified logrotate configuration and permissions
- Updated log output location for better diagnostic compatibility
- Fixed broken modals in web interface
- Resolved CSS header conflicts in webgui interface

We've updated the plugin again!
