The Appstore for Unraid: Install Community Applications Plugin

One of the most important functions for Unraid has yet to be upgraded in the form of a plugin. This is the Community Applications Plugin. An appstore for Docker containers and plugins.

With the help of the Community Applications Plugin for Unraid, you can install an ever-growing selection of apps and Docker containers with just two clicks and a few settings.
