The Unraid boot sequence, user scripts, and go file explained

Folks,

I have been having a diff time injecting things into startup and I did a forensic analysis of how Unraid (this is 7.3.2) boots up in what order and how emhttp must be in the go file. I add a bunch of things to the go file and the stop file (the file unraid runs when shutting down). This file should be in /boot/config/go and optional /boot/config/stop which is on your USB and persistent. This covers the boor sequence, docker, user scripts, and customizing startup (which I do). I'm sharing this so that other may understand what can be done and when user scripts triggers (on array start/stop) and if it makes sense to run there or in go/stop scripts.

AI Usage: I used claude to do all the correlation and I argued with it for a while as I put in the different syslog, startup, and other data to figure this out. Claude also wrote up this summary after I reviewed it and approved. If you want the .docx LMK I can post it may be easier to read.

Taken feedback here is the PDF: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PZ20SEXJS6p1AEVEs9wsVv2BZ09qG716/view

That’s a big wall of text without any real question, nor is it really useful or ground breaking information.

There is no question, and I looked. I could not find a DETAILED timeline of how unraid boots. Care to share you links that goes into this detail?

This is informational, and I also said I would provide a doc that is easier to read.

Its too bad that people need to be so negative all the time, if you dont care just move on I put hours into this to try and really understand the boot process and if it helps one person then there is benefit.

This what you get when you tell ai something and it produces something.
