Versie 7.3.0 van Unraid is uitgekomen. Met dit besturingssysteem kan een server worden opgezet voor taken als network attached storage, applicatieserver en virtualisatiehost. Het is eenvoudig op te zetten en enorm flexibel met betrekking tot de gebruikte hardware en grootte van de harde schijven. Docker wordt gebruikt om functionaliteit toe te voegen en deze apps worden door een actieve community gevalideerd en onderhouden.
Voorheen startte Unraid vanaf een USB-stick of geheugenkaart, die tevens de licentie bevatte. Vanaf versie 7.3.0 kan dat ook vanaf de interne harde schijf worden opgestart en is het mogelijk om de TPM-module op het moederbord te gebruiken voor het valideren van de licentie. De changelog voor versie 7.3.0 kan op deze pagina worden gevonden en uitgebreide releasenotes over deze en alle andere veranderingen staan hier.
Internal Boot + New Licensing OptionsFlash drives have always been how Unraid boots and how your license is validated. That worked well for a long time, but USB flash reliability has been on a steady decline, and you end up with a single point of failure and no good redundancy options. With 7.3.0, that changes.
Internal Boot lets you install and boot Unraid from an internal drive: NVMe, SSD, eMMC, or an existing storage device. Boot times are faster, the system is more resilient, and it unlocks licensing options that weren't possible before. For users who want an extra layer of resilience, internal boot also supports a mirrored boot pool: two devices in a ZFS mirror, so Unraid continues running if one device fails. Replace the failed device through the normal drive assignment flow to restore the mirror.
Existing users: nothing changes unless you want it to. Flash boot with flash-based licensing remains fully supported. If you do want to move to Internal Boot, you have two paths:
Path 1: Internal Boot + Flash Licensing. Boot internally and leave your licensed flash drive connected as the licensing anchor. Faster boots, better reliability, no changes to how your license works. The right move if your system doesn't have TPM 2.0, or you simply don't want to use it.
Path 2: Internal Boot + TPM-Based Licensing. If your system was built in 2019 or later, your motherboard likely already has TPM 2.0 support, often enabled through firmware with no dedicated chip required. With TPM-based licensing, your license is anchored to the motherboard. Pull the flash drive entirely and your license stays put. The most streamlined long-term option for supported hardware, but a choice, not a requirement. Many older motherboards without onboard TPM include a TPM header where an inexpensive add-on module can be installed.
One important distinction: Internal Boot (where Unraid boots from) and licensing (what hardware your license is tied to) are separate choices. You can get the full performance and reliability benefits of Internal Boot while keeping flash-based licensing, which is especially relevant for older systems without TPM.

Hou je nog de overhead van Unraid vs. een "schone" install, maar dat is minimaal.
