[Plugin] CA Config Editor

[Squid 1608]

CA Config Editor

 

A simple plugin to allow you to easily edit any of unRaid's configuration files (or actually any file on your server) within your browser without having to go to the command line.  (including syslinux.cfg)

 

While most of unRaid's settings are available to be modified within its webUI, there are some cases where it is required / desired to manually edit them.  This plugin will allow you to do that.

 

Backups of files edited are automatically created (filename.bak), and can be restored by copying from the backup window.

 

Additionally, any file present on your server in any folder can also be edited beyond the .cfg files that shortcuts are available for.  This is helpful for when a docker application requires you to make some changes within its config files in the appdata folder, but either permissions prevent you from doing this over the network, or you're not familiar with the command line.

 

The usual warnings apply:  Changes to the configuration files could have unintended results if you enter in wrong values. 

 

Install it via the Apps Tab (where else?).  Either go to the CA Modules section, or search for Config and scroll down to CA Config Editor.

Once installed, you can find the plugin within the Tools tab.

Nice.....

Might want to add a disclaimer that you only support the plugin and not the potential problems people can find themselves in by modifying stuff though mate.

WOW! Cool AND Scary! What more could you want!

 

And it works as a file viewer of course. No more launching puTTY just to look at something. Midnight Commander F3 and F4 are now obsolete!

Nice Touch with the auto Backfile Creation

 

I love the fact I can drill down to my Flash Drive and edit all of my user.scripts too

Easier doing the user scripts within the plugin itself.  No drilling req.

Hey Thanks for that Reply. I didn't realize there was an update to user.scripts. Nice Job. I like it.

That really did make me laugh out loud!

( ^ in case you don't know what cr/lf mean)

 

- Various improvements in the UI and error handling

- Fixed: Preserve Linux or DOS style line endings when saving by default (previously, would save everything in linux format regardless of the source format)

- Added: Ability to switch between Linux or DOS style line endings

Not all of us are old enough to remember typewriters......

I am, but that's not the point.

Good sentiment though. Lol

Except that I was just thinking that a typewriter does a lfcr whereas windows does crlf.  Did Microsoft get it wrong?

On so many levels it hurts to think about it.....

This is beautiful. Bye bye MC.

It's not something that comes up very often, but would it be possible to change the font size of the files being edited, or maybe add a horizontal scroll bar instead of doing a line wrap? 

[Squid 1608]

horizontal scroll bar

ok.  done

change the font size

zoom the browser

Love this!

 

Is it possible to increase the size of the editing window? Wider and taller. Feels like I'm looking through a periscope for some larger file (like rtorrent.rc)

[Squid 1608]

How about a resize instead?

[jumperalex 6]

I didn't want to get greedy ... you rock, Thanks Squid!!!

Is it possible to use this to rename a config file?
