How well it is tested
Unraid is a whole operating system and we do not run it, so its integration is tested only against recorded answers from its API. If you run Unraid, tell us how it goes.
Connect Unraid
Before you start. Before Unraid 7.2 the API comes with the Unraid Connect plugin, and the endpoint stays silent without it.
- Its address:
https://192.168.1.20by default, or your reverse proxy's address. More on addresses. - The API key, in Unraid's web interface: Settings → Management Access → API Keys.
- Test it before you save. If it fails, Cupola tells you why.
Away from home, Cupola uses your VPN or reverse proxy: how that works.

Questions
Is there a Unraid app for iPhone and Android?
Yes: Cupola, free and open source, connects to Unraid directly. It is a public TestFlight beta on iPhone, iPad and Mac, and an APK on Android. See install.
Where do I find the Unraid API key?
In Unraid's own web interface: Settings → Management Access → API Keys.
How do I manage my home server from my phone when I am away?
With the route you already have: a VPN such as WireGuard or Tailscale, or a reverse proxy. Give a connection a second address for when you are out, and Cupola uses whichever one answers.
My services are behind a reverse proxy with a self-signed certificate. Will it work?
Yes. Cupola asks once before trusting a certificate, then pins it to that host. Cloudflare Access tokens, proxy passwords and custom headers work too.
