Why is Unraid popular in the self-hosting community ? (jlai.lu)

It's proprietary, after all. I understand paid is fine, but even then, it usually better be open source.

So, why is Unraid an exception ?

Thanks

Yep they changed this somewhat recently I believe? Like a year or two back, not sure - before my time.

Last I checked I think it's now like $50 or $60 for the first year, and renewals are half that, so definitely not terrible.

Yeah in the past year or so. I grandfathered in before they raised the price of that highest tier so I like to be sure people are aware. I'm a big fan and I think it's worth the price.
