I've had unRaid 4.3 running for 6 yrs flawlessly as my NAS.

 

I'd like to upgrade to the newest stable version (5.0.5).  I had read somewhere that I had to upgrade to 4.7 first.

 

Could someone detail or point me to concise steps I would need to take to complete this upgrade successfully?

 

I am not highly technical.

Steps are pretty easy and straightforward.  http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Upgrade_Instructions

 

Downloads can be found here.

 

But you will need to email to get 4.7 first.

 

If you require a previous release, please send a request to [email protected].

Ok, I had it right then.  So who do I email to get 4.7?

 

Also, will a move from 4.3 to 5.0 improve performance issues?

 

Finally, where would I find specific instructions on how to run plex media server directly on the unraid media server after I get to the newest version?

See the post you quoted above

Are you having performance issues now?

Search the forum.

Sorry, but I still don't see an email address to email for 4.7 there.

 

As for performance issues, yes what I see is the following:

1.  long time to spin up drives from stopped.

2.  occasionally I have some folders/files that I cannot delete, and the system says I don't have the required permissions to delete them.

 

Other than that, it would be good to run plex from it as then I could keep my desktop PC powered off.

 

OK I found the email.
