Resolves #1767
plugin/source/dynamix.unraid.net/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.my.servers/include/UpdateFlashBackup.php:415
still reads the API version from _var($mystatus,'version'), but commit
441e1805c removed the code that populates $mystatus (the parse of
/var/local/emhttp/myservers.cfg). As a result $mystatus is undefined, so
we now send api_version= to the flash activation endpoint. The PHP
runtime also emits “Undefined variable: mystatus” / “Trying to access
array offset on value of type null” notices before headers are written.
Those notices corrupt the JSON response, the keyserver rejects the
request because the api_version is missing, and the flash backup state
file is never updated—so the web GUI stays stuck at “Loading”.
Because the status request always invokes UpdateFlashBackup.php, every
page load trips the same failure path, leaving
/var/local/emhttp/flashbackup.ini with loading=Loading. The frontend
only listens for /sub/flashbackup events, so until that INI file is
rewritten the spinner never clears and the enable button never becomes
active.

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **New Features**
* UI now initializes flash backup status on page load so backup controls
reflect current server state immediately.
* Backup state saves now publish remote updates, improving
synchronization of backup status.
* **Bug Fixes**
* Improved API version handling for flash backup operations: sends
version when available and falls back gracefully when unknown.

Unraid Plugin Builder
Tool for building and testing Unraid plugins locally as well as packaging them for deployment.
Development Workflow
1. Watch for Changes
The watch command will automatically sync changes from the API, UI components, and web app into the plugin source:
# Start watching all components
pnpm run watch:all
# Or run individual watchers:
pnpm run api:watch # Watch API changes
pnpm run ui:watch # Watch Unraid UI component changes
pnpm run wc:watch # Watch web component changes
This will copy:
- API files to
./source/dynamix.unraid.net/usr/local/unraid-api - UI components to
./source/dynamix.unraid.net/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.my.servers/unraid-components - Web components to the same UI directory
2. Build the Plugin
Once your changes are ready, build the plugin package:
# Build using Docker - on non-Linux systems
pnpm run docker:build-and-run
# Or build with the build script
pnpm run build:validate
This will create the plugin files in ./deploy/release/
3. Serve and Install
Start a local HTTP server to serve the plugin files:
# Serve the plugin files
pnpm run http-server
Then install the plugin on your Unraid development machine by visiting:
http://SERVER_NAME.local/Plugins
Then paste the following URL into the Unraid Plugins page:
http://YOUR_LOCAL_DEV_MACHINE_IP:5858/plugins/local/dynamix.unraid.net.plg
Replace SERVER_NAME with your development machine's hostname.
Development Tips
- Run watchers in a separate terminal while developing
- The http-server includes CORS headers for local development
- Check the Unraid system log for plugin installation issues
Environment Setup
-
Initialize environment:
pnpm run env:init -
Validate environment:
pnpm run env:validate

Troubleshooting
-
Watch not updating files
- Check that source directories exist
- Verify file permissions
-
Build failures
- Ensure .env file exists
- Check Docker setup if using containerized build
- Verify source files are present
-
Installation issues
- Confirm http-server is running
- Check your local IP is correct
- Verify plugin file permissions
