Celebrating the Community That Made it All Possible

Unraid OS turns 20 on August 26th, and we’re throwing the ultimate birthday bash with 20 Days of Unraid, happening August 7–26, 2025! Whether you're a storage savant or just Unraid-curious, this is your time to join the celebration.

This epic celebration will include:

• The grand opening of our all-new Unraid Merch Store
• Discounts on Starter and Unleashed licenses and upgrades

It all leads up to a special LIVE online event on Saturday, August 30th

Hosted by Ed Rawlings (SpaceinvaderOne) and Unraid OS Founder Tom Mortensen, we’ll debut an epic short film about the history of Unraid (+ a few sneak peeks of what's in store for the future...), reveal our Show Your Server competition winners (+ notable runner-ups), and celebrate 20 incredible years of Unraid—together.
