Unraid Digest #078
Hey Unraiders, April was another busy one!
X15 (pictured above) pre-orders are closing soon, Unraid 7.3.0 crossed from beta to RC (stable is close), and we shipped Unraid 7.2.5 covering a number of improvements and security updates. Here's everything you need to know from the past month. ⤵️ ⤵️
 $99 Refundable Pre-Order | X15 Pre-Orders close this Monday, May 1 at 10 AM PT. If you've been on the fence, this is your last chance to lock in your ship spot. This 15 bay was built from the ground up by both teams, powerful enough for transcoding, VMs, and a full Docker stack, and it comes with a Unraid Lifetime license out of the box! |
 | Unraid 7.3.0 is now RC. After a successful beta run, 7.3.0-rc.1 is live and we're in the final stretch before stable. Internal Boot (NVMe, SSD, eMMC), a brand-new onboarding wizard, ZFS/VM/storage improvements, and a whole lot more is coming to a stable branch soon. |
 | Unraid 7.2.5 is out now. A security and bug fix release recommended for all users which covers a myriad of CVEs and quality-of-life improvements. Learn More |

App of the Month:
Custom SMB Shares
Your NAS, your rules. Custom SMB Shares is a plugin that gives you granular, per-share SMB configuration without touching smb-extra.conf by hand. Share individual subfolders without exposing the parent, give shares custom names completely independent from the underlying folder or ZFS dataset, use special characters like German umlauts or Chinese in share names, clone shares to save setup time, and point multiple shares at the same folder with different security settings — all through a clean interface inside the Unraid dashboard.
Whether you're segmenting shares by user, locking down sensitive directories, or just tired of losing your manual config edits on reboots, this plugin handles it persistently and cleanly.
