[SOLVED] Install python packages that sticks through reboot?

[Fredrick]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to run a python script that requires a couple of packages (namely requests and influxdb). I manage to install the packages with pip, but they seem to disappear after reboot? Is this normal behaviour, and is there anything I can do to make it stick?

 

Thanks!

The unRAID OS unpacks fresh from flash into RAM on each boot and runs completely in RAM. The only persistent storage is /boot, which is the flash drive, and /mnt, where the disks, user shares, and unassigned devices are mounted.

 

You can use the User Scripts plugin to run a script on boot, and have that script install your packages.

D'oh!

I'm already trying to run the script with this plugin, why didnt I just add two pip lines above?

 

Thanks!
