I have a new server which has been running for a couple of days. The primary activity right now is copying data to the array.

 

I've installed a few apps that have WebUI's - binhex-krusader, binhex-deluge and Firefox. I haven't quite uncovered a pattern but the WebUI option under "actions" disappears at random, it seems.

 

There's one solution that works every time: Editing the preferences and changing the Network Type. It doesn't matter to what - if it's currently at "Host" then use "Bridge" or "Custom" or vice versa.

 

Web searches reveal that this behavior is not uncommon according to various users.

 

Is there a way to eliminate this behavior once and for all?

 

Thanks in advance

Can you post a screenshot, not seeing what you mean.

The WebUI menu item disappears

 

 

Do you still have the WebUI link in the dashboard and Docker pages? If so it's likely a problem with the CA plugin only. 

The typical place to get to a container webGUI is from the Docker page, if the problem is only with the CA page you should post that here:

 

 

Thanks for replying to my post it's well appreciated.

 

I have only a few days of experience with Unraid and I think I figured out why I couldn't access the WebUI. I had no regard for whether the apps were running or not. I intuitively regarded clicking on "WebUI" as a way of starting the app and displaying its GUI in the browser.

 

As far as I can see now, if the app is actually started, the WebUI is also selectable from the "actions" menu button.

 

I also were not aware that the WebUI button were available from both the Dockers tab and the Main tab apart from the Apps tab where I had found it. Clicking the word and clicking the icon leads to different results and is maybe not the most intuitive design.

 

I'll observe again of course, but I think this is probably the explanation for the randomness in the availability of the WebUI function. Sometimes I had the docker app running and sometimes not. The server is brand spanking new and I'm not using it "in production" yet but merely experimenting.
