ControlR (Android/iOS app for unRAID)


Recommended Posts

A quick update ...

 

I'm almost done with v1 of the ControlR plugin, which will provide a GUI to set up user permissions.

 

The plugin will probably be required to provide additional app features (if the plugin is not installed, some features will not be available)

 

Hopefully I'll release it next week.

 

I'll also publish a new app version, which will mainly be a maintenance version (updating libraries, small fixes, etc.)

Can i ask what purpose the ControlR plugin for unRAID serves as the app seems to funstion perfectly well without it?

 

I have just 'test' installed it and can see no eveidence of it on my server., where should i be looking?

 

It's not showing in 'Plugins' 'Tools' or 'Settings'.

 

Do i need a reboot?

I think one of the main functions of the plugin is that you can make multiply users to the app, with different privileges.

Yeah, that's a reasonable summary ... the app can do it as it is right now, but the plugin will enable a more user friendly interface to do it

Purchased but unfortunately couldnt fibd my servers either auto or manually. I was sitting 10ft from router at the time. Refund actioned aok. Any ideas why not?

 

<edit>

 

I re-ordered the app after reading through this whole support thread and after increasing timeout dramatically managed to manually add my servers so all good so far.

Got it, yea .. some servers have different timeout threshold from what I have gathered.

Wow ! How did you even notice it was up there ?

 

I haven't even talked to Squid yet about adding it to CA !!!

 

I'm just testing my end-to-end build setup, and there are still some features I need to add before I can do a public release of the plugin :)

 

This will be a v1, so I will appreciate the input on different scenarios.

 

Have a nice weekend !!

Because the appfeed is completely automated.  Once the template exists in the repository, its added to CA

You see !! And I thought there was some entry form to add a plugin to CA !!

 

I don't even know how you do it Squid, but even more kudos to CA ..

 

I'll just have to be more careful when testing :)

BTW, you want the name changed for the repositories?

 

Yes, pls change the name to jbrodriguez

Done.  It'll take effect within 2 hours on the next update for the feed.

 

(Of course now I'm going to have to update the All Apps thread again today to have it reflect the changes  >:(  )

Its actually no trouble.  I made a special version of CA to generate that thread for me.  Takes me a whopping 1 minute to completely update all the posts (I tend to do it on Friday's).  Of course, that's a minute of my life that I'm never going to get back, but that's something I'll just have to find a way to deal with.

A minute Squid ???????? I honestly hope you find a way around it .. hehehehe !!!! In any case, thanks a lot for CA, It has made unRAID what it is right now !!

Thanks... Actually looks like we may have to wait for the name change to take effect.  Since there was no change to any templates, the feed won't update with just a name change of the repository.  I'm sure that an author will make a change within the next day or so.

Hi,

 

I found a significant issue in the user permission system, thanks to a report from a forum member.

 

Basically, non-root users can't login within the app, with their own password.

 

The issue is due to how the app is stretching the use of unRAID's underlying http server, which is meant to be consumed from a browser by root (a purpose it serves well).

 

I'm still scratching my head at how it worked in my setup, but I may never be able to figure it out ;D

 

You can still set up users and permissions for dockers/vms, but you will need to enter the 'root' password, for any non-root user you want to access the server through the app.

 

After that, permission will work normally.

 

I've pushed a new version to address this issue, I'll post back when it's available on both platforms.

v2.2.0 is now available on both stores

 

The user permission system has changed. You need to enter the root password for any non-root user you want to access the server.

Permissions will then apply as per your setup.

 

The timeout logic for automatic discovery changed a bit. If you're still having problems with it, please play around with this timeout.

 

Also in this release:

- App version appears in the main Settings page

- Cosmetic fix to the selection element (automatic/manual; cards/list)

- General improvements and bug fixes

 

Cheers !
