webGui on github

[zoggy]

Just FYI, Tom is alive and is working on webGui: https://github.com/limetech/webGui/pull/1#issuecomment-22980697

 

[jumperalex]

hmmm so if I understand right he has pulled your code, it shows as merged?  but he is planning to make some more changes before publishing for download?

[NAS]

And most the git based bug reports have been fixed

This is a very good initiative. Can we add requests here as well? For me, if the stats page from SF is added, and the page where you can schedule a parity check, makes it more effective. But i'm sure those will show up in time

 

Offcourse a plugin "manager" should be integrated, at this moment it is a bit confusing that the plugins tab actually does not contain active plugins but a list of available (official?) ones, while the active plugins themselves are placed under the settings tab... and even there they are all over the place. I have dropbox, slimserver and apcupsd under 'network services' (?) while the "unplugged" sickbeard and sabnzbd have there own "unplugged" 'chapter'... probably because the developer of those plugins decided so.

 

Would be nice to remove the plugins from the settings tab and have a "plugin" tab that contains actual active (3rd party?) plugins, and a "plugin library" for a list of available plugins? (should even be a subpage within "plugins")

 

Anyway, keep up the good work!

I know this is not a valid assumption, but for some reason i find the performance of a parity check a good sign of the functioning and speed of the system as a whole. The check should be fast, and not slowed down by opening the webgui (as it did using the latest SF). I'm glad to see that the parity check under v5.0-rc16b running the new webgui is perfect:

Made the decision a long time ago to drop support for IE7 and lower.

 

Hi Tom, should you add code to block access to IE7 and below?  for example a windows that says IE8.0 or greater etc...

IE users can just use chrome frame, you dont even need admin rights. Sadly though its being retired on Jan 2014.

 

Anyways, rather than forcing that as short term solution we might just be better off doing something like showing a message to IE7 and older peeps:

<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<p class="browsehappy">You are using an <strong>outdated</strong> browser. Please <a href="http://browsehappy.com/">upgrade your browser</a> to improve your experience.</p>

How do you know if the new webgui was installed.  I was running r2 of the new gui, and I just downloaded and installed the more recent version.  I can still see the mountains even after rebooting the server.

 

I ran installplg /boot/plugins/web-Gui-latest.plg and it seemed to install.  the old web-Gui-r2.plg file is still in the folder as well as a new file called  webGui-latest.txz  Is there a webgui version I can check on the webinterface?

you were suppose to remove the old file (since naming the revision in the file was dropped). the new filename never changes.. thus just wget the latest file always means your up to date.

From the Github page:

If you want to download a later version of -latest than what you already have, then delete the two files first:

cd /boot/plugins
rm webGui-latest*
wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/limetech/webGui/raw/master/webGui-latest.plg
installplg webGui-latest.plg

 

I can still see the mountains even after rebooting the server.

 

Shut them off on the display tab on the Settings page...

Can't this enhancement be suggested on github directly and Tom can choose to incorporate?

This is a very nice webgui. thanks a lot.

 

The question that I have is related to the plugin page. I can't install some of the plugins because there is a "No plg file" remark.

 

I thought that move the file mysql5_20120805.plg into the /boot/config/plugins directory should be enough but it's not. Any thoughts?

 

Thanks a lot.

 

{EDIT}

Do I have a mess in my plugin environment? These are the files and directories that are related to plugins:

 

In /boot/config/plugins I do have the files:

• Mysql-5.1.66-i468-6atv.plg
  
• airvideo_overbyrn.plg
  
• open_vm_tools-2013.04~16c-i686-28Zeron.plg
  
• openssh_overbyrn.plg

 

...with the subdirectories

• /airvideo
  
• /cache_dirs
  
• /mysql
  
• /open-vm-tools
  
• /ssh
  
• /webGui

 

In /boot/plugins I do have the files:

• cache_dirs-1.6.7-4jr.plg
  
• webGui-latest.plg
  
• webGui-latest.txz

 

Is that all correct?

Another issue:

 

The image for a spun-down disk is called green-blink.gif but the code is trying to open green-blink0.gif.

 

<img src="plugins/webGui/images/green-blink0.gif" class="icon gap">

 

I noticed this too when I upgraded.  So what I did to resolve this was to copy the green-blink.gif to green-blink0.gif as a temporary fix.

 

cp /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/webGui/images/green-blink.gif /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/webGui/images/green-blink0.gif

Encountered this as well, but did not notice it before...? Been running it for a few days now. I swear i've seen green blinking led's before... and now they're gone.

Added issue on github.

I saw this when I first installed the new webGui, so I cleared my browser cache, rebooted the server, and the blinking light came back.... very weird!

MikeJP Thank you for those instructions.  This screams to be a script.

Should we request feature requests here or as Issues on github?

 

I'm desperately missing this slick screen from SimpleFeatures and think it adds to the appeal of the overall GUI:

 

• Stats - Gorgeous stats on drive usage, network, CPU and more.

 

Even just the drive usage screen with animation to start for 5.0 "final" (I hate that word, it never will be final, and I think it should be dropped, due to obvious hangups people have over it. Just call it 5.0).

 

The GUI is looking great!

now that 5.0 final is released... has this changed?

 

i need to go re-read the latest goings on around here.

 

[ironicbadger]

Could you reinstate system uptime on the new gui please?

 

I miss it.

It's still there, only relocated in a different place. Click on the Info button on the menu bar.

A week ago I noticed some odd behavior in my syslog and documented it here:

http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=29028.msg259284#msg259284 I marked it solved because there seemed to be no clear-cut answer. In this case I was running with the new webGUI and had decided to keep it after upgrading.

 

But today after installing v5.0-i386 AND rebooting the server, I saw in the new webGUI my mover settings had changed again. My mover schedule was now showing as: Monthly--Sunday--01--00--Enabled. I looked through the current syslog, the one that started when I rebooted after the upgrade and the only line in it about "generating mover" was for my regular Daily @ 0330.

 

Hmm....maybe it's something with the webGUI?? I powered down the server and removed the plugins for the webGUI as per Tom's instructions and rebooted to the stock webGUI (the one with the mountain range). Now, looking at the mover settings it shows the right values of 30 3 * * *! And my syslog agrees with this.

 

I may be jumping to the (wrong) conclusion here, but methinks the new webGUI has got an issue with mover settings.

It's possible, I'll look into it, thanks.

I would also love to see the Stats Page and also a way to run Smart Reports from the GUI like Simple Features had. Also, this may have been suggested before, I would love to see the Array drives appearing at the top with the Flash and Cache drives at the bottom of the main menu. After all I look at my Array drives way more than the other two. Now that this is an official GUI is there any chance of integrating with Joe L. 's preclear script. I realize this would involve working with Joe and this may not be a possibility but it would be pretty cool. Even if it just reported the status of the preclear as it was underway.
