October 14, 20241 yr MOTD displays system information (CPU, memory, disk usage, service status, etc.) after SSH/console login. Configuration MOTD can be customized by creating a configuration file on the flash drive. Details are available on Github.
November 2, 20241 yr Any Idea if this error is related to MOTD? I noticed the ASCII art and this error after I installed MOTD.

The error is being created by MOTD, but that’s not the real issue here — it’s saying that you don’t have a /boot/config/share.cfg file. That file is generally required for Unraid to work properly, so if you’re missing that you have a larger problem with the system.
December 18, 20241 yr how best way to export config to /boot/config/plugins/motd/config.yaml ? and after changes in config file , how to reload plugin for to view changes in config ?
December 18, 20241 yr OK , found `motd --config /dev/null --dump-config > "/boot/config/plugins/motd/config.yaml" 2> /dev/null`

I'm having the same issue and I'm wondering if the plugin just doesn't work. The developer replied to you and said that the share.cfg file missing is a bigger problem. But, I'm on a fresh install of 7.0.1 and I don't have a share.cfg file.

I think that file gets created if you ever go to Settings->Global Shares settings and make any change and then hit apply. Until then all the settings on that page are defaulted so missing that file is not necessarily serious.
May 6, 20251 yr Thanks, this looks cool as a regular SSH user (as a Linux user I like to customize my unRAID somewhat to my liking). It would be nice to have the option to show the Total Disk Space Usage for the whole Array (instead of the individual user drives), for ex. add an "array" in to the Display value in the Global section in the config.yml. Docker display could have an option to show the "exited" status for ONLY the auto-start enabled Docker containers. This way you wouldn't have to keep updating the config file's Ignore list anytime you create a new Container that is ran only when it is needed.
September 23, 2025Sep 23 Thanks for this plugin! Do you think you could add a configuration page for it? It would be nice to customize the motd by selected entries which should be displayed or hidden. Or maybe by selecting between themes. Like the current standard one is really big, could be also just shown with line items.
