✭ unBALANCE is now unbalanced !! ✭
NOTE: To install it, look for "unbalanced" in Community Apps (the old unbalance plugin will be deprecated by Squid)
i had the opportunity to completely rewrite the user interface for the plugin, it's now a lot more polished, a lot more usable and a lot more beautiful
the main features are:
- a new, more modern and more polished user interface
- support for multiple cache pools (multi-device pools too)
- dark mode support (dark is preferred, light theme may need some future tweaking)
- more information about the planning process is now displayed
- transfer speed is now calculated as an average of the last 60 samples (depending on the refresh rate you set)
- logs are written to /var/log to reduce stress on the flash drive
- other minor improvements, take a look for yourself !
the core is still the same: the code that runs the rsync commands changed just to accommodate connectivity with the new ui
for some additional context, i wrote a post about unbalanced on my blog, you can read it here.
i still enjoy Unraid the same way i did when i started using it (and use it daily), it brings me pleasure to be able to modernize this plugin
hope you enjoy the new version as much as i do !
P.S.: since this is basically a 1.0 release (in terms of the user interface), there might some bugs here and there, if you find any, please report them here or on github
P.S 2: i changed the name to unbalanced mostly to avoid issue with version naming (my old scheme was vYYYY.MM.DD, instead of the standard YYYY.MM.DD, and there wasn't a way to change it for the old plugin)
P.S. 3: i haven't added support for unassigned devices at the moment, mostly because i don't have any and i need better context on how the unassigned devices and partitions work
