ysss Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Hey guys, is there a docker with apps and utilities for managing files on unraid? Right now I'm using screen + mc and other cmdline utilities just fine, but I thought it would be cool to have a web gui (or x session in a browser). Features request: - multipane gui w/ folder & files views - able to queue file operations (copy & move) - file/directory compare tools (MELD?) - integrity checker (md5deep? hashdeep?)

aptalca Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 If you want to use mc in a browser I might have a solution I just added a new container in my repo called Dockergui-dev All it does is open a terminal window in the browser. I use it to develop and test web based containers. To use mc, just install mc with sudo (password is PASSWD) and run it If you want to test any other apps, install them as you would in ubuntu and run them from terminal. Quote Link to comment
hernandito Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Just tried Guacamole and it does the same beautifully, in addition to SSH, it includes to VNC, RDP... MC works nicely... Quote Link to comment
aptalca Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Dolphin works really well, too. I had never tried it before. Much better than nautilus. It even discovers samba shares sudo apt-get install dolphin dolphin Quote Link to comment
aptalca Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I liked dolphin so much I ended up creating a dolphin container. It's in my repo. 1 Quote Link to comment
ysss Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 Thanks for the input, guys. Whatabout queueing file copy and moves? (Eg: TeraCopy, SuperCopier, etc in windows). Is there similar function in mc or one of the x file managers? Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I have not tried it out and don't know much about it, but sparklyballs has a pydio docker in his beta repo. According to a web search, pydio is the latest incarnation of ajaxplorer, which is a web-based file sharing and management application. Quote Link to comment

According to a web search, pydio is the latest incarnation of ajaxplorer, which is a web-based file sharing and management application. I get the impression that pydio is more like a self-hosted dropbox or the likes, not for actually managing local files through a web browser. Quote Link to comment

That's the impression I get from their website also, but ajaxplorer had file management. I think they are going after bigger fish now, but it might still have those capabilities, just not being promoted that way. Maybe a little more research would tell us. Quote Link to comment

I've just checked their demo site. It's definitely catered for online use with quick shortcuts for online sharing for every files and no quick file select\drag and drop. Maybe it's better to implement this in KVM, because of the value that multi-windows bring to file management. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Maybe someone could put a desktop application in a docker like they have with several other applications. Just put a Linux file manager as the desktop application. Quote Link to comment
ysss Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 Maybe someone could put a desktop application in a docker like they have with several other applications. Just put a Linux file manager as the desktop application. One of them is Dolphin, as aptalca has already packaged it (mentioned above). Quote Link to comment
sparklyballs Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 take a look at this one too. http://www.krusader.org/ EDIT , just knocking together a container for it. Quote Link to comment

Pydio is WAAAAYYY complex. I tihnk it real purpose is more for document management and sharing with teams, than just a simple file manager. And I could not get the java folder dragging feature working. With my VPN now working, I can work with the stuff like I am at home. Seems the easiest... Quote Link to comment
sparklyballs Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 gotta have a bit more time with krusader and install some extra packages for some of the "goodies" including checksumming etc.... Quote Link to comment
sparklyballs Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 krusader in my beta repo now. Quote Link to comment
hernandito Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Awesome... thank you!! Don't you want an icon that is a little more "file-managery"? Quote Link to comment
sparklyballs Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Awesome... thank you!! Don't you want an icon that is a little more "file-managery"? yosemite sam doesn't say file manager ?? lol, yes i do want something a little more serious. Quote Link to comment
hernandito Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I just cobbled this together... http://i.imgur.com/uf0NDSm.png Quote Link to comment
hernandito Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Cut down the whiteness of the file cabinet a tad. I have left space at the bottom for the green/red button docker indicator. Quote Link to comment
