Hey guys,

 

I started using unRAID a month ago and I'm accessing the webUI through Chrome on OSX.

I was wondering if anyone ever created a small app that would live in the menu bar and will give you access to launch the webUI from it and info about your unRAID server (temp, uptime, errors...) or even launch a standalone unRAID management UI?

 

I know I could have it in my favorites bar in Chrome. I'm just wondering about a one-click/non-browser solution.

 

Thanks

 

Margarita is the only Mac app for unRaid that I'm aware of.

Wow, what about Windows? any similar Windows app?

Don't use Windows. Maybe someone else might know.

Thanks! I'll take a look.

I use this for El Capitan:

...and point it at my unraid Gui, in taskbar mode, auto starting at boot.

 

Instant access to manage your server. You set it and it's basically one click away at all times.

That looks handy. Just to be sure though, this isn't just a shortcut to the unRaid webgui? You can actually control the server from your desktop?

you will build a dedicated native application to osx that contains a direct shortcut to your webgui. So in essence, you'll end up with an OSX application (in your taskbar, or dock, whichever you prefer) that points directly at your webgui. You won't be reinventing anything here, but you wont have to open chrome, open favorites, open shortcut, close chrome, etc....

 

You'll just click on an icon of your choosing in the taskbar and bam, you webgui will pop up. when you're done, just click away, bam, it vanishes.

 

Ya know whata mean?!  And Yes, you'll have complete control over everything. Just try it!

 

Edit: and then later, if you think fast like Jimmy here  , you'll use that fluidapp the create other lightning fast native applications residing in your taskbar to control docker containers remotely, VNC VMs, etc...  I've built some for Muximux, Deluge, Couch, etc....  The sky is the limit my friend! Instant access, boots up automatically at login.

Thanks. That's what I was afraid of.

its local as in LAN, what are you afraid of?

For me, the webgui is the weak link. When it becomes unresponsive you can't use it to control the server. Some other method is needed.

 

When Margarita was first created, unRaid had no native support for notifications of any sort. Now that unRaid 6 has been released that is no longer true and I don't need to rely on Maragarita for notifications anymore, but there are still occasional problems with the GUI. Having Maragarita allows me to perform basic control actions within the server without having to telnet in.

Well, I honestly think that running the GUI on port 80 is a bad idea, other than that, it's never failed me.

Unless you port forward port 80 on your router to your unraid server running emhttpd on port 80 is a zero-issue

Hi all,

 

I will be adding native notification support to Margarita, and share automount support as well. Give me a few weeks to develop, but I have some ideas.

 

Cheers
