Is It Possible to Change FreeNAS Old Version UI

[cctshubhamkandiyal]

I am using freeNAS which is working with Dojango and DOJO JS But I want to introduce new UI which look like new freeNAS UI. But I continuously facing conflicts.

I try to use:
Major Material Design which is Compatible with JQuery
Bootstrap
DBootstrap

Please help me to fix this issue. Or Please let me know Is It Possible to transform FreeNAS Old Version UI (using Dojo ) as new freeNAS UI (which using Angular).

If YES, Then How Could I do so.

Thanks in Advance

Are you trying to rewrite the old UI? Or do you just want to use the new UI?

Freenas has a documented API structure. Just build a stand alone front end and use the APIs. That shouldn’t break your hacked system on updates as it’s a stand alone layer.

I sure wish I could say that!

Well I must confess that after the Corral disaster I did consider it. Especially as most common tasks I do from my iPhone.

Can you please provide a referenced link. I search a lot about freeNAS development but Didn't get much details about That

Not sure where you looked, but there's a dedicated chapter in the FreeNAS manual. http://doc.freenas.org/11/api.html

I already check that. But How Could I use that. I do not think I can change UI with this. Please look like functionality Part not UI Part... Please Help...

No you don’t change the UI, the UI is what it is. You build your own and run that as a separate app in what ever way you want. And to control FreeNAS you use the API.

What @garm said was "Just build a stand alone front end and use the APIs". I interpret that to mean that "you make your front end however you wish and use the API functions to connect your front end UI to FreeNAS".

I do not think I can change UI with this.

Of course you can--you write your own GUI in whatever language or framework you want using those API calls. If that's beyond your skill level then, well, this project is beyond your skill level.

I just want to use the new UI in default storageip (xxx.xxx.x.x) without entering (/ui in last ) like xxx.xxx.x.x/ui . I also do not want to loose any my project Changes. I am using Freenas 11.1. Please response ASAP

 

[garm]

Then you need to wait for the release of 11.2

Is FreeNAS 11.2 fix this issue? But I already make changes in freenNAS Project. How Can Its reflect changes in New UI Automatically..

 

[Redcoat]

I find it difficult to respond as I cannot understand your objectives.

What is the objection to three additional keystrokes to get to the management interface of a server? You seem to be willing to contemplate a significant amount of work to do so...

What "project changes" do you not want to lose? If they (the "project changes") are your FreeNAS configuration customizations, these are easily saved and reloaded from the "system", "general" page buttons.

I just want new UI instead of old UI. Or Suggest any way to change old UI like new UI if Possible... (Like Need to write any custom code to achieve that UI and any other method.. I just want new UI instead of old UI...)

 

[Redcoat]

I just want new UI instead of old UI.

Apparently you already know how to do that by adding /ui after the IP address. What is the problem with that?

Then wait for the release of 11.2, when the new UI will be the default.
