Unraid May Recap: 7.3.0 Stable, Internal Boot & is Unraid Leaving Slackware?

Everything that happened with Unraid in May 2026 in 5 minutes.

This month: Unraid 7.3.0 hits stable with Internal Boot, a wave of security releases keeps the team busy, the base OS future gets teased, we spotlight Open WebUI as App of the Month, and new sci-fi Unraid merch dropped!

Unraid 7.3.0 is Stable: Internal Boot is here. Run Unraid from NVMe, SSD, or eMMC — no USB stick required. Also includes a new onboarding wizard, Docker MAC address fixes, QEMU/libvirt updates, and more.

Unraid 7.3.1 also out: A focused maintenance update addressing a wave of CVEs alongside kernel, Docker, ZFS, and Slackware base package updates. Recommended for all 7.3 users.

Unraid 7.2.7: Still on 7.2.x? This one's for you. Security updates, kernel upgrade, Docker fixes, and package refreshes across core components.

OS Transition Teased: On Ed & Stefano Unleashed, it was hinted that Unraid may move away from Slackware. Debian? Fedora?

App of the Month: Open WebUI: A self-hosted chat interface for running large language models on your own hardware. Pair it with Ollama and run Llama, Mistral, Gemma and more. No cloud, no subscription. Ed walks through the full setup.

Merch of the Month: The "Disturbing Lack of Backups" laptop sleeve: a nod to a beloved space epic and a reminder of IT best practices.

All merch is 20% off site-wide now
