I'm wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to add an item to the left click menu that you get when you click on a VM in the VMS tab?

 

 

I've (With MUCH Help - Thanks bmartino1) customized the menu in the Docker tab, and seen amazing things done by scolcipitato with the FolderView Plugin.

 

My prurpose is to add a GUI link for my servers whose hole purpose is to run a web page (Home Assistant, PFSense) but it would also be great to be able to launch an alternate remote desktop App like Windows Remote Desktop on my Gaming rig that uses a Dedicated GPU and doesn't have a Virtual Video interface.

 

Thanks for any ideas

The context menus are added via this JS.

 

https://github.com/unraid/webgui/blob/master/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.vm.manager/javascript/vmmanager.js

 

Is the url static? Could look to add an option to the gui to store a url in the meta data.

 

Storage is a next release part.

    <vmtemplate xmlns="unraid" name="arch" icon="arch.png" os="arch" storage="default"/>

 

Yes, the URL's are static... Along the lines of just the VM's IP address and a port...

Probably beyond the Scope but if I could get a URL I might be able to do womething with this:

I have created a PR to allow a WebUI to be defined on a VM.

Will have a play with this. Another option is to follow the same process I have for virt viewer. It creates a file and downloads, Same could be written for RDP. i.e.

This has been added to the PR. But rdp file is simple just IP.

 

You need to set the browser(This Chrome) 

 

case 'domain-consoleRDP':
	requireLibvirt();
	$dom = $lv->get_domain_by_name($domName);
	$rdpvarray = array() ;
	#$rdparray[] = "[RDP]\n";
	$rdparray[] = "full address:s: 192.168.1.21\n";
	$rdparray[] = "administrative session:1\n";
	if (!is_dir("/mnt/user/system/remoteviewer")) mkdir("/mnt/user/system/remoteviewer") ;
	$rdpfile = "/mnt/user/system/remoteviewer/rv"._var($_SERVER,'HTTP_HOST').".$port.rdp" ;
	file_put_contents($rdpfile,$rdparray) ;
	$arrResponse['vvfile'] = $rdpfile;
	break;

C:\Users\Simon\Downloads>type "rv192.168.1.225. (4).rdp"
full address:s: 192.168.1.21
administrative session:1

C:\Users\Simon\Downloads>

PR has been merged so will be in next release.

Awsome, thank you

I was doing so well with NOT checking for an update every day... You've ruined me.

 

I am right in thinking you meant it will show up with the next release of unraid?

 

Thanks

Yes v7 beta is due Soon.

OK, I'll check again... And again...  and... again

 

Seriously I am looking at my GUI more often just to see if the banner has appeared than to actually do anything

 

(Please not I'm trying to be funny and I perfectly understand that it will be released when it's "done"... And though I struggle with my own personal daemons, I'm happy to wait)

7.0.0 beta 1 released

Awsome... Any way to make it open in a new tab within the launching browser?

 

I wonder for the VM's that need to be viewed from RDP, if I can point it at a hosted file to download an RDP file and set that file to "always open" in my browser...

Not currently will see if i can change to do that for url

 

Will create PR to change to open in a tab.

 

Not sure I understand the RDP request.

I work with a medical records vendor where they use citrix, and the citrix launch file downloads when they click on the application icon the web browser downloads the ica file.

 

Right clicking on the download you have the option to "always open files of this type". And then, the file launches when you click on the link in the web page (storefront)

 

So I wonder if I could host the .rdp file somewhere so that it gets downloaded by the browser and if it's set to open it would launch the rdp session.

If you set this option in VM settings, it will create rdp file and download for the VM. Which you can set to open when downloaded.

Hadn't spotted that. Thank You

Will open as a tab in beta2 rather than window

Awsone, thank you

This is working great. I do have a detail to look at... The option shows up for machines whether they need it or not... My Windows VMs have it, but so does my pfsense box and my Home Assistant server.

 

Is there a way to selectively turn it on/off

 

The WebUI only shows up if there is an address in the field.

 

Thanks

No there is not a way it is just a global on or off.
