Requirements: Unraid Docker Manager
Defined: 2026-02-08 Core Value: When you get a container update notification or notice a service is down, you can immediately investigate and act from your phone.
v1.3 Requirements
Requirements for Unraid Update Status Sync. Each maps to roadmap phases.
Infrastructure
- INFRA-01: n8n container can reach Unraid GraphQL API endpoint
- INFRA-02: Unraid API key created with Docker update permission, stored securely
- INFRA-03: Container ID format verified via GraphQL query (document actual format)
Sync
- SYNC-01: After bot updates a single container (text command), Unraid badge clears automatically
- SYNC-02: After bot updates a single container (inline keyboard), Unraid badge clears automatically
- SYNC-03: After batch "update all" operation, all updated containers sync to Unraid in one call
- SYNC-04: After batch selection update, all selected containers sync to Unraid in one call
- SYNC-05: Sync failure does not block or fail the container update itself (best-effort)
- SYNC-06: User receives no false-positive Unraid update notifications for bot-updated containers
Documentation
- DOC-01: README documents Unraid API setup (key creation, n8n container config)
- DOC-02: ARCHITECTURE.md documents Unraid sync integration (GraphQL API, data flow, new nodes)
Future Requirements
Deferred to v1.4+. Tracked but not in current roadmap.
Manual Sync
- MSYNC-01: User can trigger manual
/synccommand to sync all containers to Unraid - MSYNC-02: User can trigger
/sync <container>to sync a specific container
Unraid Status Read
- UREAD-01: Bot can read Unraid's update detection data (which containers Unraid thinks need updates)
- UREAD-02: Container status keyboard shows Unraid's update view alongside Docker state
Out of Scope
Explicitly excluded. Documented to prevent scope creep.
| Feature | Reason |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional status (Unraid as source of truth) | Unraid's update detection has known bugs; sync-back must be proven first |
| Persistent monitoring daemon | Conflicts with n8n's workflow execution model; adds operational complexity |
| Full Unraid API integration (auth, templates) | Overkill for status sync; GraphQL mutation is sufficient |
| Automatic template XML regeneration | Risks breaking container configuration; status sync is separate from config |
| Sync ALL containers on every operation | Performance impact, unnecessary — sync only updated containers |
| Real-time Docker event monitoring | Requires separate service; n8n handles this reactively via bot commands |
