The latest version of the home server operating system Unraid does away with annoying network problems. These had crept into the previous version under the guise of “smarter handling of network devices” and sometimes led to disconnections in Docker containers and the Unraid WebGUI.
Unraid uses Docker containers to retrofit additional functions from the image gallery to the download manager as “apps”; their smooth functioning is therefore important for users. Following the release of the buggy version 7.1.3 at the beginning of June, there were an increasing number of issue reports in the Unraid forum and on Reddit: users complained about containers with no contact to the outside world, failing updates and other network issues. Not only Docker, but also the Unraid web interface and virtual machines created on the server were sometimes affected. Version 7.1.4, released on June 18, is now mainly concerned with fixing these errors.

Home server scrambles default route
Apparently, changes in the routing table were responsible for many symptoms – a test device in the heise editorial office lost the entry for the default gateway to the Internet, for example. A change in the interface metrics, originally intended as an improvement, apparently also caused difficulties. Unraid had only recently upgraded support for WLAN – possibly another source of errors. Unraid 7.1.4 also changes the handling of autotrim settings for btrfs and XFS and possibly prevents destructive user interventions.
