    unrar-free is ancient (from 2014). Try installing just unrar

    plugins :: omvextrasorg 7.0 | kvm 7.0.10 | compose 7.1.2 | k8s 7.0-6 | cputemp 7.0 | mergerfs 7.0.3

    You are on OMV 3.x (Debian 8). Upgrading to OMV 4.x (Debian 9) would get you a newer version of unrar. Are you sure the rar file is not corrupt?

    While I think you should do that regardless of the unrar issue, that will take you from unrar 5.2.7 to 5.3.2. If that still doesn't work, you *might* be able to install unrar 5.6.6 from Debian 10.

  • Just for the sake of completion: Just download the newest Winrar.de for Linux and install it with the few steps below:


    A package is to much for just a few files.
