Anyone using any GUI's other than the webgui to manage/access Unraid resources?

I can't recall ever seeing anyone using anything other than WebGUI or  CLI, I'm sure that people have installed Unraid on full distros of slack and maybe arch but can't recall what GUI was used.

unMenu has been around for a while, and still works in v6. It is not really a replacement for the webGUI, more of a complement. Some of the features it has were not really available in earlier versions of unRAID, but many of the things it does for you are now in the v6 webGUI.

GNOME is a desktop environment software. To run it you'd have to have windows system like X11 and all the related drivers installed. unRAID does not have it and will never have. It simply does not make sense, it's like running X11/GNOME on a hardware NAS box.

 

And even if you run unRAID over full distro with X11 and GNOME and all the bells and whistles, you would still have to access unRAID via its WebGui.

 

Simplified relations scheme woud be:

 

  (1) hardware <==> (2) OS/drivers/webserver/CLI <==> (3) windows system (X11, etc.) <==> (4) desktop (GNOME, KDE, etc.)

 

unRAID (and hardware HAS boxes) limits itself at level (2), and webserver provides access via browser (WebGui) to control the array.

 

Levels (3) and, especially, (4) are simply too big, too volatile, too unstable, and too unneded  for the NAS purposes, to be ever used here.

Are you talking about managing files on your unraid from a GUI?

I've just started testing Dockers, but after seeing HurricaneHernandez' packaging of TinyMediaManager, I think it would be cool to have similar web-accessible file management gui like that.

Out of curiosity, is there anything specific missing in the current webGUI ?

 

I was looking for a nicer way to navigate and manage files.  I suppose I can use Windows File Manager, but was looking for something that worked in the browser environment when I'm off-site.

If you just want file access with a web interface, what about the Pydio docker.
