In version 6.10 of Unraid OS, we've added a new element to the webGui known as the User Profile Component.  This element is used to help simplify key management, but due to some confusion in the community, we wanted to record an episode to further explain this new component and how it works.  This dovetails into talking further about My Servers, your privacy, and our promise to existing customers.And after that, we spend some time talking about ZFS and why so many users are requesting official support for it in our feature request thread.Send us a textOther Ways to Connect with the Uncast Show Uncast Show Website The Uncast Show on Youtube
