June 27, 201511 yr is it possible to make a telnet plugin so we can telnet straight from the web browser without having to open putty? please keep in mind BEFORE you answer [or flame me] it's just a question i do not understand the logistics in doing this that's why i am asking...
June 27, 201511 yr I must be missing something ... how do you "telnet straight from the web browser"? unRAID already includes the telnet service ... what do you need in addition? Perhaps you want to launch a terminal window by clicking a button on the web gui page?

You want a telnet client that has a webui right? Check out the guacamole container by Zuhkov.

June 28, 201511 yr Why don't you run Dockers? It is an awesome feature. Very slight learning curve to start with them... but once you know, they are extremely powerful stuff.
June 28, 201511 yr OpenFiler offers this and I never found it useful First of all, since it runs the session in Java, it takes forever to open. I can launch putty and connect from my workstation, complete my task, and log out faster than the session in the webpage will even launch and connect.

Yeah, seems kind of pointless to use a browser or remote desktop or remote desktop in a browser when all you want is a terminal.
July 5, 201511 yr Good chance to learn docker then. New plugins for things that are already available as dockers should be discouraged. Aren't dockers virtualized or segmented from the main OS though? It seems to me if you need to use telnet he probably needs to perform functions at the host level, like maybe running SMART scans, preclears, terminating processes that perhaps have hung webui, etc. If that is the case then a docker app would not be sufficient, or my understanding is incorrect. If I understand correctly, then having a plugin that hosts a web session of terminal would be helpful, especially when you need to remote in quickly and perform actions but may not be at home or near a machine with an available telnet client.

A docker that provided telnet in a browser window would presumably be able to telnet to any host, including the unRAID host. In fact, the Guacamole docker will already do telnet. I just tried it out and it works. You might have to play with the font settings to get something you like.
