UNRAID – .bash_profile

UNRAID runs in RAM, so every time the system reboots, the .bash_profile is reset to the default, thus losing any customizations. To address this, UNRAID created a process that allows you to store customization on the boot drive allowing the .bash_profile to be rebuilt with every reboot.

The /boot/config/go file in Unraid is a startup script executed during the boot process. It is located in the /boot/config/ directory on the Unraid USB flash drive. This file is used to define custom commands or configurations that need to run when the system starts.

/boot/config/go

#!/bin/bash
# Start the Management Utility
/usr/local/sbin/emhttp
echo export HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth:erasedups >> /root/.bash_profile
cat /boot/config/alias_docker_compose.cfg >> /root/.bash_profile
cat /boot/config/plugins/user.scripts/scripts/arraystart-link-scripts/script >> /root/.bash_profile

The following are the referenced files:

/boot/config/alias_docker_compose.cfg

alias docker-compose='docker run --rm \
    -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
    -v "$PWD:$PWD" \
    -w="$PWD" \
    docker/compose:latest'

/boot/config/plugins/user.scripts/scripts/arraystart-link-scripts/script

#!/bin/bash

if [[ ! -L /root/scripts ]]; then
  logger -t gofile "Link scripts to root"
  ln -v -s /mnt/user/WORK/myUNRAID/scripts /root/scripts
  echo "scripts link created"
else
  echo "scripts link already exists!"
