How It Works
Browse Open Bounties
Check out the current list of available bounties on our GitHub Project Board. Each bounty includes a clear scope, acceptance criteria, and payout details so you’ll know exactly what’s expected.
Claim a Bounty
Pick a feature that matches your skills or sparks your interest. Once you claim it, you’ll have until the posted deadline to deliver your solution.
Build & Submit
Bring the feature to life by following the acceptance criteria and Unraid’s coding/UI standards. We’ll review your work, provide feedback if needed, and make sure everything fits smoothly into Unraid OS.
Get Paid
Once your submission is approved, you’ll receive payment for your work through GitHub Sponsorship. More importantly, you’ll know you’ve helped move Unraid forward for the entire community.
Your Questions Answered
Yes. You’ll need to be an Unraid OS license holder with an Unraid.net account. We verify this before approving any bounty claim to ensure contributors are part of our community.
Each bounty is priced based on complexity, community need, and the estimated effort required. We set fair, transparent, non-negotiable rates upfront so you know what to expect.
All payments will be made via the GitHub Sponsorship program. You must turn this on in your profile to receive payment. At this time, no other payment options are available.
Payment is made only after your submission is reviewed, accepted, and meets all acceptance criteria within the deadline.
All rates are in USD.

Each bounty includes a set number of allowable revisions to keep things aligned with Unraid’s standards. If work doesn’t meet requirements within that limit, the submission may be rejected — but we do our best to make expectations clear upfront.
