See edited post above, as well as the previous discussion page or 2 where some of these things were covered already. The system temp plugin will likely get an update to integrate/not need perl, but 6.11 is currently in RC so not everything's ready for prime time yet.

so for system temp, still need to wait some time ?

There is some missinformation out there about Systemp.

Perl is only needed for the first installation and clicking the button Detect, after you set everything up you don‘t even need Perl and can uninstall it.

For the record, since it was unfortunately only posted in a thread in the German section instead of here where people would typically come for support (translated):

Reason why it's not marked as being incompatible and it hasn't been said point blank that it's going to disappear is because the deadline for this to happen is when 6.11 stable is released.

 

App policies dictate in a situation like this to wait for stable to be released as there is no evidence that the plugin will not get updated.   Since I don't believe that it will actually get updated I initiated a conversation with limetech including @ich777 and a solution was formed to handle this eventuality mainly with regards to the trickle down effect it would cause for other popular plugins, notably System Temp.

 

My official announcement stating that this plugin is no longer available going forward will not come until stable is released and our assumption as to the status of the plugin is proven correct.

If Nerd Pack doesn't have screen, use tmux.  Nerd Pack doesn't include "everything".

You can ignore my noobness into Unraid and the settings. I found that I have to go to settings then nerdpack and can install the packages I need. I looked under plugins and clicked nerdpack and didn't see anything, so that was my bad.

As of today, since 6.11.0 stable is imminent, and I don't believe that this plugin will get updated, I have marked this plugin as being incompatible with > 6.10.3

 

If you require any packages which you may have been installing via this, you will need to do your own package management.

 

Note that Perl is now included in the base OS once 6.11.0 is released.

Will plugins that need manual package resolution be marked as incompatible ?

Download the txz files for them, and put them on the flash drive in /extra (/boot/extra on a running system), that will cause them to auto-install on boot (create the folder if there isn't one)

 

Dumb question, but is there an alternate method of this to install these on a -running- system? Seems very short-sighted that the only documented method requires a full system reboot to install packages. I also hope that a proper package manager is on the short list of features to be added to Unraid since we're getting pushed in this direction.

From a post earlier in this thread:

 

To be able to use them without a reboot use unraid CLI to navigate where you put the packages and run installpkg <filename>

 

On my server running the 6.11.0 rc3, I have done this with a few of the packages previously loaded via Nerd pack.  No reboot required.

It's literally the next bullet point below what you quoted :)

One last thing to note. Where you put the packages MUST be in /boot/extra or they won't be reinstalled on boot.
