May 19, 20242 yr I haven't used my server in about a year so everything is out of date. Update OS gets stuck on "plugin: checking unRAIDServer.plg ..." Also plugins are all old not showing a version. I only have one docker (plex). What's the best way to get everything back up to date? Thanks!
May 19, 20242 yr Community Expert Solution Option 1: in place upgrade prepare Main > Flash > Download backup stop all vm stop all dockers Unraid setting disable vm and dockers! Compatibility plugins delete all plugins. ^-Only keep the CA defaults! Ones you can keep: ZFS(any and all) / FCP / tips n tweaks / drivers plugin if installed... Then go to unraid web UI and upgrade.Folow the pormpts and what it says! boot and you may have to turn off machine. Plug flash drive in and delete the network config due to 6.12 changes... to fix networking and boot. Web UI login add previous plugins... enable vms / dockers ... etc.. Option 2: Recommend due to old version installed... restore via recovery option on same usb to not lose license! Main > Flash > Download backup plugin flash drive into another computer copy config folder off flash drive reformat drive and manual install latest unraid to flash run make botable copy config folder to flash drive (may still have to go into config folder and delete network config...) boot to unraid

May 19, 20242 yr Community Expert *This is why both option have you make a flash backup. (flash backup is everything that is your unraid 6.8) no data loss is expected with either option. the config folder is the entire configuration from folder settings, to shares, to disk layout. Including docker templates, plugins and other config data. You will not lose share setup with option 2. Edited May 19, 20242 yr by bmartino1
