I've had problems with Frigate where it chews up all available memory (96GB) on my Unraid server. Lately it's been running fine with no issues (for at least a month), which I attribute to the previous update fixing whatever the problem was. Day before yesterday I was notified that there was an update for the Frigate container, so I ran it, and now the memory problems are back... container crashed within a couple hours. How do I go back to the previous update? I read a thread that tells me to go to the maintainer website and choose the tagged image version I want, but it looks like there's a new tagged version every few minutes, so I have no idea which one I'm supposed to choose. Any help?

Hey guys. I'm on Unraid 7.0.0 (Yeah, I know - I just haven't had an upgrade go well so I haven't done it in a while).

My server consisted of four 6TB Seagate IronWolf drives and an SSD cache drive.
One of the 6TB drives is parity, the other are data drives.
This morning I lost one of the 6TB data drives. I tried swapping SATA and power cables but no luck. I get the old death-click on POST and the BIOS says that SATA slot is empty so she's dead.

I have an 8TB drive lying around so I think I'll use that - and you can probably see where this question is going now.

The parity drive needs to be the largest hard drive so I can't simply replace the failed 6TB drive with an 8TB drive.

As I'm typing this out I'm realizing that I probably need to add the 8TB as a 2nd parity drive, wait for the array re-build, then change the 6TB parity drive to a data drive.
That'll leave me with three 6TB data drives (as it was before) and an 8TB data parity drive.

Is this the way to go? Any gotchas I need to know about?

Here are the key takeaways:

Licensing

• Zero changes are coming to existing or new licenses. Basic, Pro, Lifetime, and activation codes remain fully valid, preserving community trust.

Fedora & Universal Blue (UCore)

• Unraid 8 shifts from Slackware to a lightweight, immutable base distro powered by Fedora.
• Expect faster boot times (under 30 seconds), kernel swapping choices, ZFS snapshot-based updates via GRUB for easy rollbacks, and optional Secure Boot.

Plugins & Developers

• Transitioning to an API-driven, modular system with configuration builders and Home Assistant-style permission guardrails.
• Dedicated developer documentation and official code samples will make migration and custom creation seamless.

Apps, Docker Compose & VMs

• Existing apps and VMs will carry over with zero functional regressions.
• Adds native, front-and-center Docker Compose support alongside a live-previewing VM XML editor.

Security & Authentication

• Containers and VMs will no longer run as root by default (moving to QEMU/non-root users) to counter modern AI-era threats.
• Integrates Traefik as a reverse proxy, bringing out-of-the-box OIDC support, with passkeys planned for later point releases.

UI, Drive Management & Testing

• New step-by-step UI wizards will guide users through stressful tasks like drive replacements and parity rebuilding.
• Backed by a brand-new QA department running thousands of automated unit and end-to-end tests.
• A private alpha is launching soon, followed by a public beta targeted for early next year.
