Welcome to Unraid Digest

Speaker 1 0:00

Good morning and welcome to the Unraid Digest . I'm your host , stefano Partita , and when this show is late , we try to be especially late . So , without any further rating , let's go ahead and check out all things that went down in February

Unraid 7.0.1 Security Update

Speaker 1 0:12

for Unraid . Unraid 7.0.1 recently just dropped and all users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to that version , especially those of you that are using the tailscale integration for any of your containers .

Speaker 1 0:33

There was a security flaw that was found where containers that are using tailscale integration and also in host mode have inadvertently allowed root level access through the web UI to any user . With this release , the ability to launch such containers has been disabled . The security fix prevents containers with the network type of host from using the Tailscale integration , and any existing containers in this configuration will no longer start . All users will be warned via the Fixed Common Problems plugin if any container exists with this configuration . The container logic has been enhanced to prevent containers with the network type container from using the tailscale integration . What essentially this boils down to is that you can no longer use host modes . That means you'll have to use a custom interface BR0 , e0 , or Bond0 , something like that in order to get your containers to work and or function

Bug Fixes and Improvements

Speaker 1 1:30

correctly . Other bug fixes and improvements have been made to the memory management , file manager , hardware support , butterfs , pool expansion , partition management and array management . There was an issue identified with Mover where shares with spaces in the name would not transfer from the array to a pool , and another issue where Mover did not handle hard links appropriately . The virtual machine management received some fixes as well , like the fix for VMs that had a single quotation mark in the name would prevent the VM from starting and stopping . Perhaps more importantly , there's a fix that now prevents new shares from being created when a new VM is created . My notes are a little unclear about this next one , but it's something about a discard field appearing blank . That's been fixed , so you don't have to worry about that .

Speaker 1 2:16

For whoever that affected , there have been more improvements to Docker , such as the container manager , hiding update statuses for containers managed by third-party tools , the blacklisting of CDC drivers to prevent issues with NICs that have IPMI capabilities on certain motherboards . There's also been a downgrade to the DHCPD package that affects containers . Somehow . My notes are quite literally blank on this one and I'm not really sure who that was affecting , but at least those users that were being affected by the DHCPD issue will no longer have to face that , so that's good news there . Ui and diagnostic improvements have been made , so now there is a tooltip that correctly displays spaces instead of that pesky %20 encoding mumbo jumbo . The kernel has also been upgraded to 6.678 and along with that are some updates to some packages like bind , curl , git , mc , openssh , openssl , rsync and a few others . The Unraid API for the Connect plugin got some new features , such as a new notification system , new options to the Unraid API command line interface , graphql enhancements , the new option to allow single sign-on with your Unraidnet account , a fix to the notification count syncing in the web UI , modified the log rotate configuration and its permissions , fixed broken modals and CSS headers for the web UI , as well as several other fixes and improvements .

Ed's Expanded Role

Speaker 1 3:47

Ed AKA Space Invader 1 has been unleashed and his role has been expanded . This means that he'll be creating additional content in the form of guides , tutorials , tech deep dives that are relevant to the Unraid community . He will also be helping shape professional services and work with business users and contributing documentation related to best practices in production environments . Most users on the forums are welcoming this change with open arms , so I'm sure he greatly appreciates all the support that y'all have shown him thus far
