- Handles auto-extensions key check and install of extend license key with new OS Updates Expiration date Related to https://github.com/unraid/webgui/pull/2071 but not 100% dependent on them. @elibosley, do we want to use the `force` param on the `check()` method for either of these pages? Additionally, what do you think about any potential integration with `UnraidCheck.php` – which is used for the UPC's "Check for Updates" button and the user configured automatically scheduled update check? <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit - **New Features** - Enhanced plugin registration and update processes with an integrated key validation step that verifies system parameters automatically. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> --- - To see the specific tasks where the Asana app for GitHub is being used, see below: - https://app.asana.com/0/0/1209573221367688
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:8080/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
