Ironically I found this when making some changes that negated my current need for the stop file.   I was wanting to edit it to remove its current contents.

Is it possiable to rename a file with this plugin? I cant see a way to do it? From a windows machine it tells me I dont have permissions :(

  • Author

Never thought of it.  So, no...

 

You'd have to do it via command line

 

mv /path/to/file.ext /newPath/to/newFile.ext

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.

Don’t use the drop down menu. Click into the file path instead. This should open a window with all available paths that you can navigate.

Thx for quick respond this did work just had to browse the folders to find appdata

Could you add /boot/config/plugins/dockerMan/templates-user/*.xml to the default dropdown?

 

Makes it easier to edit docker template xmls.

  • Author

Done.  I don't really see why you'd want this though as there's absolutely nothing that can be edited via the xml that can't be done via the template screen, except for any internal CA elements.

For sharing between users for testing while developing the template and to easily copy & paste between my local file editor and the server.

Hello,

I`ve installed the Plugin but can’t find the appdate. Even with the drop down I can‘t find it.

  • Author

For appdata, you have to browse to it.  /mnt/user/appdata

Thanks i found it

Trying to use the browser and nothing appears.

Manually typing the full path does not work either.  I've tried uninstalling and then reinstalling, but no luck.

Do you have adblocker or anything else that might interfere with your browser? Have you tried clearing browser cache, other browsers, etc?

The first dropdown *should* work with the pre-populated items

 

The second one (after the "or") has to be entered in manually due to security changes in 6.10

The first drop down works just fine.  Manually entering the file path in second still doesn't work for me.   I've disabled all my adblockers, etc.

 

Happy to debug this further for curiosities sake, but I've resolved it by using nano in a terminal.

  • Author

Works for me.  So long as you hit the edit icon after you type everything in.

This plugin is now deprecated when running 6.10-rc3+  Please use Dynamix File Manager instead

Hello Squid,

 

unfortunately the "Dynamix File Manager" does not support the editing of config text files.

Can the "CA Config Editor" remain installed for this?

File Manager is supposed  to support editing...

 

But, nothing stops you from keeping this installed

OK thank you.

I wasn't sure if unraid from 6.10 had a problem with the "CA Config Editor".

The issue is more why the File Manager is not letting you edit the files :)  In principle the CA Config Editor should now be superfluous.

I don’t have any trouble editing config files with Dynamix File Manager. I just browse to the file, click it and a popup opens with the contents of the file to be edited. Perhaps you should investigate why that isn’t working for you.
