All things Unraid for May 2026
Unraid Digest #079
Hey Unraiders,
May was a busy one, especially on the security front.
The team shipped five releases this month keeping pace with a wave of CVEs, and Unraid 7.3.0 crossed to stable. Tons to cover. Here's everything you need to know. ⤵️
Unraid 7.3.0 is stable. The headliner is Internal Boot: Run Unraid from an NVMe, SSD, or eMMC- no USB needed now! We also shipped a new onboarding wizard, fixed MAC address support for Docker containers, QEMU/libvirt updates, and so much more. |
Unraid 7.3.1 is also out now. A security-focused maintenance release addressing a myriad of security updates along with kernel, Docker, and ZFS updates. This one’s recommended for all users. |
Unraid 7.2.7 also shipped for users not on the 7.3 branch. 7.2.7 brought a broad set of security updates, a kernel upgrade, Docker fixes, and package refreshes across core system components. Upgrade now! |

App of the Month:
OpenWebUI
Your homelab, your AI. Open WebUI is a self-hosted chat interface for running large language models entirely on your own hardware. No subscription, no cloud, nothing leaving your server.
Pair it with Ollama and you can run Llama, Mistral, Gemma, and more. Chat with your own documents, use a vision model to analyze photos, and manage multiple users with role-based access. The whole stack runs quietly alongside everything else on your Unraid server.
Ed walks through the full setup this month: installing Ollama, connecting Open WebUI, picking the right model for your hardware, and getting the most out of it.
Merch of the Month
A nod to your favorite space epic and a reminder of IT best practices. Lightweight neoprene laptop sleeve with a soft interior lining. Whether you're jumping to lightspeed or heading to the office, your data should be backed up either way. |
