A whole team helps you run your Unraid server, right in Unraid's web UI: backups that come back, snapshots, a media
cache for Emby, Jellyfin and Plex, a tidy pool, a night watchman and every log in one place.
Product page · Full guide
Start with the Team Lead. He looks at your server and suggests whom to hire.
Backups that come back
- Mr. Backupsy backs up on your schedule: snapshots, database dumps and, encrypted with Kopia, offsite.
- Mr. Restori brings back apps, VMs, whole shares or single files, hands you the flash archive — and rehearses it
on throwaway copies.
- A partner: with a second Unraid server running the office, you keep each other's backups — over your own network
or the office's own Tailscale node.
A fast, tidy pool
Jack Streamer puts what you watch next in Emby, Jellyfin or Plex on the fast pool, so the array disks can sleep.
Ms. Moverelli, with helmi1987's Smart Mover, takes the oldest files to the array only when the pool is above your limit.
Both work in one joint run on your schedule, live to watch.
The Night Watchman
A round every five minutes; he only reads. What is unusual goes into his watch book: a sign-in from a new address, a
new plugin, a new device on the LAN — and your router's log, if you like.
Also on the team: Ms. Snapshotini, Ms. Dustdevil, Ms. Protocolli and the Consultant. Five languages, Unraid's themes,
search with ⌘K, on the phone too. The full guide walks through every desk.
Careful by design
- Behind Unraid's login. Other web pages in your browser can't trigger anything.
- Asks first. It shows what will happen before anything changes. What it replaces or tidies up is set aside, never
deleted at once.
- Your copies go where you send them: to your partner, or encrypted to a storage of your choice.
- Partners stay independent. A partner accepts copies, nothing more — taken over, say by ransomware, it can't delete
or overwrite anything on yours.
- Only what the desks define. The service runs as root, but it offers only the actions written in the desks' code.
- Shows what is really there. Protection comes from what the backups made, not from the settings; what couldn't be
checked says so.
- Checked: what was looked at and what it found, in HARDENING.md.
Install
Unraid 7.3.2 or a newer 7.x; snapshots need ZFS or btrfs, Jack Streamer needs Python 3 (e.g. Python 3 for UNRAID
from Apps). In Unraid, go to Plugins → Install Plugin and paste:
https://github.com/dropnook/UnraidSecretaryOffice/releases/latest/download/unraid-secretary-office.plg
Then open Office in Unraid's menu bar (Sekretariat, Segreteria … when Unraid speaks another language); the Team
Lead welcomes you. Coming soon to Community Applications; updates come through Unraid's plugin manager either way.
Support
Questions, problems and wishes: in the Unraid forum thread, right in the
office, no GitHub account needed (⋯ → Report a problem or a wish… — you see every part before it is sent), or
GitHub issues. A tip is
welcome.
