    Now that ZFS support is wrapping up I would love to see some focus return to the star feature of UNRAID, the unRAID array.  First and foremost I would like to see formalization of the array as ju

  • I’d love to see improved SMB performance with MacOS clients. As far as I’m aware this isn’t an issue with (most) other systems hosting SMB shares, but for UnRaid, performance is absolutely terrible un

  • This was a thing in the past and I really don't like it.   The same is also true in the complete opposite direction so to speak if a maintainer maybe adds: --cap-add=SYS_ADMIN and --d

Supposed to be coming. But in the meantime...

 

Other NAS products don't have anything like Unraid's Array at all, so it's already a feature well beyond "basic NAS functionality." And Unraid supports unlimited Pools, which is what you get with (some) other solutions (not all can do even this).

I would love Native SR-IOV graphics support, and Native implimentation of Open vSwitch and Open Virtual Network. They can be found at https://www.openvswitch.org/ and https://www.ovn.org/en/.

 

It is the one big feature that makes me re-install Proxmox every few months, I have a huge beefy server and want my whole lab contained inside it. I can fully do this in Proxmox and ESXi but Unraid right now completly lacks these features. As an example I would be able to virtualize switches and network ports and share them between VMs. This would allow me to have one virtual network running pfSense and another running a custom RHEL appliance, then using Kali Linux to test differences between them and impliment fixes for future configs, all while not exposing my actual network.

Does SR-IOV support for intel igpu’s suffice or looking for more?

https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/release-notes/7.0.0/#other-changes

intel igpu is more a kernel related issues. Unraid 7.0 is rungin 6.6 lts they are waiting on kernel 6.12lts witch has this support.

More a issue of waiting and following openzfs supported kernel.
There is a driver plugin that can help tehr as well already.

In time yes.

I would like to support just investing in stability and performance. I need none of the features and if I needed something I would probably find a 3rd party app to do it.

Mobile friendly UI

Boot from SSD so I can have it in Raid1.

Agreed on better search

I would like to have the True NAS Scale pool import possibility a.s.ap.

Coming 🔜 

Mover % bar and more informations.

For example like Speed, Progress, Time Remained/Runtime, ...

 

Enhancements like Mover Tuning Plugin.

For example ZFS Datasets Cleaner by empty Folders/Datasets, Mover per Share Option, Parity Options/Combinations, ...

 

Enhancements like Parity Tuner Plugin.

Improved WebUI, but even more so I'd like to see proper Docker Compose support, not via a plugin. Would make container / stack management so much easier.

Unraid can fail over to emulating a disk live, but could it also trigger a rebuild live too?

 

I'm imagining a perfect world where you can mark a disk for replacement, unraid drops it offline to emulated mode, you pull the disk and swap it with a new disk and it just keeps on ticking and rebuilds in the background.

1. Integrated backup of shares to other pools and/or shares on that pool

2. ZFS Cache size adjustment in webgui

A function to remove array drives without risking data loss, yet retain a parity under the whole removal process.

As currently you'd be needing to rebuild array to "properly" remove a drive fast and effective. But instead, this feature could create a new parity based off the drive config you want in the new config by excluding drives of removal, parity will be kept and used from the old config while new one builds. Once it has been built on the new parity, it'll do a parity check to verify, Once confirmed healthy, the old will proceed to rebuild itself by mirroring the new one, once done, and second parity check has confirmed new config is 100% fine, stop array and safely remove the old drive.

Docker compose official support

 

Current templates could be just compose files, migration would be easy, templates to compose files could be automated.

 

It makes sense to use compose since it's an universal standard and not the unRAID templates

any other competitor uses compose on the backend to run dockers. they also add a interesting and weird api to display in the docker web ui they run..

 

Examples are casaos and umbrell both are systems to run docker and both have a web ui interface... there ca store to install app including full stack dockers (immich, postgress, reedis as one click install) also has a area for casa os/umbrell...

 

I can see this be implemented latter. THe curent docker tempate construts teh docker cli via php over unraid emhttp web ui...

 

Most is legacy code. THe more I dig into building dockers for unraid and adding to the CA the more I tend to wnat to run docker compose.

 

While possible it would not be easy to implement due to legacy code and alot of change to the CA that squid maintains...
Since the docker compose system exist as a addon plugin it would be easier to implement a CA docker compose install via CA.

@Squid Thoughts?

 

umbrel now is a docker continer simlar to portainer. umbrel more known for there outdated docker in running a bitcoin node and lighting node for solo mining...

https://github.com/dockur/umbrel

 

https://casaos.zimaspace.com/

example

x-casaos:
    author: self
    category: self
    hostname: 192.168.1.4
    icon: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/devzwf/unraid-docker-templates/main/images/pihole-logo-bw.png
    index: /admin
    is_uncontrolled: false
    port_map: "80"
    scheme: http
    title:
        custom: Piehole

is added to the Compose file to make a web UI... --pulled from reusing a docker from unraid on casaos

 

I can see something like this for Unraid....

With the PRO price increase coming up and it being almost a year since this poll, I don't see any efforts being made in the change logs to incorporate the most requested feature: Integrated backups.

Should I upgrade to a PRO license and spend even more money that UNRAID some day will achieve at least feature parity with other free NAS and Hypervisor solutions?
Also, will “integrated backups” cover periodic VM snapshots?

Or is the catch-all UNRAID discord answer “just write a script lol” still the preferred method to handle backups, even for completely new users which paid up to $250 for a NAS solution?

This is absolutely amazing news. Any kind of timeline? Not concrete and won't hold you to it, just curious if it's 3 months away or 1+ year(s) away.

Also, the docker-hub test install to create a template is pretty rough. It very rarely adds enough/correct variables so native compose would be game changing.

Maybe we become an Migration Function. Compose to Unraid or Unraid to Compose.
