Comment on Why is Unraid popular in the self-hosting community ?

Decent UI Affordable lifetime pricing Actually just-works No retrospective enshittification Free tier is actually free, not ad supported

Of course any of these arguments my change in the future. Then I will reevaluate my opinion.

Free Tier? You mean the 30 day trial?

  I genuinely thought it’s not limited, but yes, the trial.

*No retrospective enshittification yet

Its not yours they can at any time choose to do so

  But they haven’t so far, and the question was why it’s popular at this moment.
  
  Possible future enshittification disqualifies all software, unless you prevent it from going online - which you can also do with Unraid.

    No enshittification is a proprietary software disease. FOSS can be rug pulled and future development can become proprietary, or enshitifued features added (Ubuntu as an example both with Snap and selling search data) but it is MUCH MUCH harder then starting proprietary.
    
    It being self hosted is one of the few real protections it has.
