Why is Unraid popular in the self-hosting community ? (jlai.lu)

It's proprietary, after all. I understand paid is fine, but even then, it usually better be open source.

So, why is Unraid an exception ?

Thanks

To note, unless you buy the most expensive tier it's no longer a one time purchase.

    Good point. I got 1 year of ultimate, with the plan to upgrade to perpetual if it was good (it is!).

    The cost of that is still less than the cost would have been to buy new matching drives.

    Yep they changed this somewhat recently I believe? Like a year or two back, not sure - before my time.

    Last I checked I think it's now like $50 or $60 for the first year, and renewals are half that, so definitely not terrible.
