Unraid March Digest

All things Unraid for March 2026

Unraid Digest #077

Hey Unraiders, March was a big one.

We announced a partnership we've been building toward for awhile now and we also shipped one of the most-requested infrastructure changes in Unraid's history with Unraid 7.3.0-beta.1 and 2. We also published the results of our recent customer survey. A lot happened. Here's everything you need to know below. ⤵️

The first 45HomeLab >< Unraid Signature Series server is almost here! Built from the ground up with every component selected and validated by both teams, powerful enough for transcoding, VMs, and a full Docker stack, quiet enough for a home office, and it comes with a Lifetime Unraid license in the box. Pre-orders open soon.

The Unraid 7.3.0 Beta series is live! Internal Boot means booting Unraid from an NVMe, SSD, or eMMC instead of a USB flash drive. USB Flash boot remains fully supported. Also new: a completely new onboarding wizard, ZFS/VM/Storage improvements, and much more. Beta 2 just dropped!

Nearly 3,000 of you took the 2026 Customer Survey and the results are in: NPS of 45.1, and generally happy users. Top feedback: UI modernization, native Docker Compose support, and better docs. Good news: nearly all of it is already in action from our team! Read More

App of the Month:
A-Eye

Twenty years of IMG_0001.jpg files, meet your match.

A-Eye uses local AI vision models via Ollama to analyze your photos and automatically rename them based on what it actually sees — generating descriptions, tags, and a fully searchable library, all on your own hardware. Not ready to rename anything? Catalogue mode builds the searchable database without touching a single file, so it layers cleanly on top of Immich, Lightroom, or whatever you're already running.

No cloud. No subscription. Just a photo library that finally makes sense.
