June 18, 201610 yr Submitting a feature request to have unRAID support SSL (emhttp or apache2?). Cheers.
June 18, 201610 yr I too think its well beyond time that emhttp steps into the 90s and enables SSL support.
June 18, 201610 yr Just to play "Devils Advocate" if emhttp ( unRAID web server ) is not designed to be used over the internet as unRAID is ( used on local network only ) what would be the need for emhttp to use ssl?
June 18, 201610 yr Just to play "Devils Advocate" if emhttp ( unRAID web server ) is not designed to be used over the internet as unRAID is ( used on local network only ) what would be the need for emhttp to use ssl? Yeah, that's my opinion as well. I never use SSL on my LAN...

When you live in a house-hold with more than 2 computers and used by more than 3 people, I still don't trust anybody with http traffic

When you live in a house-hold with more than 2 computers and used by more than 3 people, I still don't trust anybody with http traffic Yeah, I suppose, I live with my wife only, and any guests that stay are on a different wifi network. I guess if I was still at Uni and living with like minded people I may feel differently, not that Unraid or NAS software existed when I was at Uni........
June 19, 201610 yr Author Doesn't hurt for one to ask. And if it is not an option, may be replace emhttp with apache or nginx, that way I can configure it myself. Cheers.
June 19, 201610 yr Community Expert Doesn't hurt for one to ask. And if it is not an option, may be replace emhttp with apache or nginx, that way I can configure it myself. unfortunately that is not an option. At the moment critical inRAID functionality is embedded in emhttp. Only Limetech could do the re-architecting of the code to allow it to be run under a traditional web server. It is something that has been requested before and so far there is no commitment to making it happen (as far as I know).
June 19, 201610 yr Doesn't hurt for one to ask. And if it is not an option, may be replace emhttp with apache or nginx, that way I can configure it myself. Cheers. I may be wrong but I think emhttp is the bit that contains the licensing and some other clever proprietary stuff. Not sure how well Unraid will work without it, although I think a guy called grumpybutfun allegedly got Unraid working on Arch Linux but I don't think there was ever any conclusive proof. Could reverse proxy it to an Apache or Nginx docker container with SSL I suppose. Probably the easy route.

Could reverse proxy it to an Apache or Nginx docker container with SSL I suppose. Probably the easy route. unRaid will not work at all without emhttp as far as I know. When running unRAID on other Linux variants it always uses the emhttp binary. You could of course front it with another web server to get SSL support, but that does not solve a key problem of emhttp being single-threaded which is a critical limitation.

You can anyways issue the appropriate MDCMDS yourself and spawn the other items during startup, but that is plenty of work.

While I understand the challenges involved, Tom has thought about this as far back as 2006 http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=231.msg1556#msg1556 - http sever (perhaps apache!)

Wow, Tom was chatty back then lol
