Unraid Dash by Alien Technology

Unraid Dash gives you a quick dashboard view of your Unraid 7.x servers without opening the WebGUI. Click the extension icon and instantly see CPU and RAM usage, array health, Docker containers, virtual machines, and unread notifications, all fetched live from the Unraid GraphQL API.

Built for Unraid enthusiasts who want fast, at-a-glance server monitoring from any browser tab.

✨ Key Features:

📊 System Overview: CPU brand, cores/threads, total memory, CPU and RAM usage bars, uptime, server version, and LAN IP address at a glance. Temperature summary (average, hottest, warning and critical sensor counts) on API 4.37.6+. Clickable server name links directly to the WebGUI.

💾 Array Status: Array state with capacity bar, per-disk health indicators showing temperature and error counts, parity and cache pool status. Parity check progress and speed while running, paused state, or the last check result. Hard drive chips turn orange or red at Unraid's default disk temperature warning and critical thresholds.

🐳 Docker Management: View all containers with running/stopped/paused indicators. Start, stop and resume containers directly from the popup, with Restart (API 4.36+) and Pause (API 4.30+) in a More menu. WebUI links from the Unraid template (API 4.30+), with port detection as fallback, open container interfaces in one click. Override URLs for containers behind reverse proxies. Update indicators show an orange dot badge when container updates are available. Update one container or all of them from the popup (API 4.30+, admin key).

💻 VM Management: View all virtual machines with running/stopped/paused status. Start, stop and resume VMs directly from the popup. Restart a running VM from the More menu: it is shut down and started again, and the restart continues when the popup is closed.

🔔 Notifications: Unread alert, warning, and info counts displayed in the popup and as a badge on the extension icon. Expand the list to browse individual notifications. Archive them individually or in bulk.

🖥 Multi-Server Support: Add unlimited Unraid servers. Switch between them using the tab bar. Each server uses its own API key and URL. Automatic API key type detection, read-only keys see a full dashboard with mutation controls (start/stop, archive) disabled.

📝 Server Form Kept: What you typed in the server form is kept while the browser asks for permission to reach that server, and the popup reopens by itself after you click Allow on Chrome and Edge 127+ and Firefox 149+; if it does not reopen, click the toolbar icon and the form or save continues.

📋 List Settings: Sort Docker containers and VMs by name (A-Z, Z-A), running status, or a custom drag-and-drop order. Control how many items are visible before the "Show all" toggle (5, 6, 10, 15, 20, or all). Assign custom display names to containers and VMs for a friendlier dashboard.

📌 Collapsible Cards: Click any card header to collapse or expand it. The state persists across sessions.

👁 Card Visibility: Show or hide individual dashboard cards (System, Array, Docker, VMs, Notifications) from the Settings panel. Drag to reorder cards for your preferred layout.

🔄 Auto-Refresh: Keep your dashboard up to date with configurable refresh intervals: 30 seconds, 60 seconds, 5 minutes, or off.

📡 Refresh Errors: When a refresh fails while data is on screen, a strip above the cards shows the error and the time of that data.

🎨 Dark Mode: Toggle between light and dark themes. Your preference is saved automatically.

📐 Compact Mode: Condensed layout for smaller screens.

↔ Resizable Popup: Drag the corner grip to adjust width and height. Your preferred size is remembered across sessions.

⚙ How It Works:
- Step 1: Click the Unraid Dash icon in your browser toolbar.
- Step 2: On first use, open Settings and add a server with its URL and API key.
- Step 3: The dashboard loads with live data from your Unraid server.
- Step 4: Use start/stop buttons to control Docker containers and VMs.
- Step 5: Click the notification summary to expand and browse individual notifications.
- Step 6: Use the gear icon on Docker/VM cards to configure sorting and visible count.
- Step 7: Add more servers and switch between them using the tab bar.
- Step 8: Open the More menu for container Restart and Pause and VM Restart, and use Update or Update all to update containers (admin key).
- Step 9: When you click Save or Test Connection in the server form, the browser asks for access to that server if it is not already granted; after you click Allow the popup reopens by itself on Chrome and Edge 127+ and Firefox 149+, and if it does not, click the toolbar icon and the form or save continues.

Requirements:
- Unraid 7.2+ with the GraphQL API enabled
- An API key generated from the Unraid WebGUI (Settings > Management Access > API Keys)

🔒 Privacy & Security:
This extension operates entirely within your browser and local network. API calls go exclusively to the Unraid server addresses you configure. No data is transmitted to any external server. No analytics, tracking, or telemetry. API keys are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM via the Web Crypto API and never written to disk in plaintext. Server configurations and UI preferences are stored locally in your browser and never leave your device. While the browser asks for permission, the server form values are kept as a draft in in-memory session storage, not written to disk, and a Save also stores a pending server record locally with the API key encrypted, undone if permission is denied. See the full privacy policy for details.

Compatibility: Chrome, Edge, and Firefox (Manifest V3).
