bmartino1 Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 (edited) With a in and out community on the nertools plugin. I think the New Version of Unraid should maintain a extra folder where one can drop Slackware packages at their own risk and install 3rd party linux application on unraid. a user script can be used at startup of array to install these third party application. https://docs.slackware.com/howtos:slackware_admin:how_to_use_slackware_installing_software If nerdtools dies, I still believe that end users and clients should still have a way to install 3rd party application that don't exist on unraid. With the clear warning that the User do so at their own risk. Edited September 5 by bmartino1 spelling 2 Quote Link to comment

Rysz Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 This already exists in /boot/extra (also prior to Unraid 7). Also, there's no real if NerdTools dies question anymore, it's already kind of dead. It's been abandoned by the original developers and many packages are incompatible with Unraid 7 now. It's only been kept around by the CA maintainers because there was still some demand for it on Unraid 6 iirc... Quote Link to comment
bmartino1 Posted September 6 Author Share Posted September 6 I'm glad that this exists and is still being maintained. Thank you for confirming the extra folder and its continued existence and use. Quote Link to comment
L0rdRaiden Posted Wednesday at 12:56 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 12:56 PM Maybe a webui could be added to search, download and install new packages from the official repository Quote Link to comment
