Welcome to August Digest
Speaker 1Hello and welcome to the Unraid August Digest . I'm your host , stephano Partida , and without any further waiting , let's go ahead and talk about all the things that went down in August . August was jam-packed with video content specifically revolving around unraid's 20th year anniversary . There was a live event that went down that you can check out on youtube in case you missed it . That was pretty fun , and we also got a pretty sweet video made by space invader aka ed . That is also pretty fun to watch as well , and it all has to do with the 20th year anniversary . Be sure to check those out . And speaking of also other videos that came to us in August , ibracorp is back . He heard your cries on Reddit and has started making videos again due to the mass desire for him to start creating content , and he released some videos one specifically about Unraid Zero to Hero , which is a fresh install and first setup , and another that has to do with the Unraid server tour setup tips and things of that nature Be install it in first setup , and another that has to do with the Unraid server tour setup tips and things of that nature . Be sure to check us out if you're interested in that . And there's a whole boatload of other videos that have also been released . I'd highly recommend checking out the Unraid August Digest page if you're interested in those specifically .
Speaker 1Unraid 7.2 Beta 2 was released in August , as well as Beta 3 , but we'll get to that a little bit later . With Beta 2 , you can expect some updates to the web UI . It received an update that allows it to be more modern and responsive to various size screens and resolutions for different types of devices . There's a new Unraid API that opens the door for application integrations and automation . The door for application integrations and automation ZFS , single VDEV , raid , z 1 , 2 , 3 pools can now grow by one disk at a time . There is additional file systems support for UXC 2 , 3 , 4 , ntfs and exFAT . Also , there's a very cool feature that will allow you to log into your UnRAID server using an external OIDC provider . So anyone that uses Microsoft or Google or whomever you can now use that to log in your Unraid server . That's pretty cool .
Speaker 1As I mentioned , the beta 3 is actually available right now as a time of filming , because this video is really late , but that's at this point , and the beta 3 brings us many fixes to the dashboard and web UI a new kernel that allows new features and so much more .
Speaker 1There are some known issues with the current beta and previous betas , like the theme engine , dark theme and dynamics time and date .
Speaker 1These plugins are not compatible and will automatically be uninstalled if you have them installed , always be sure to upgrade your plugins before updating to any of the betas , because this will likely affect some plugins , like the Unraid Connect plugin especially , as well as the NVIDIA drivers plugins and all of their various forms especially as well . There may also be visual and dashboard web UI issues caused by the new responsive capability of the web UI , so this might affect any custom plugins and that make modifications to the UI . Be sure to give those authors time to update their plugins that interface with your web UI . So hopefully all of that gets resolved as these beta releases come out . So definitely want to be aware of all of that and keep that in mind . Lastly , don't forget to check out the Unrated Merch Store so you could pick up some sweet merch like this . Thank you all for watching . Don't forget to like and subscribe if you enjoy content like this , and good night , thank you .
