Amahi Forums

Hello,

I'm happy to report that as of this code commit, we have the ability to easily create Amahi platform plugins. One line is all is needed to create a basic plugin!

At the moment there is only one kind of plugin supported, "tabs" ... a new tab inside the Setup area of Amahi is created for each plugin. This has been a work in progress for a long time that we're happy to report is starting to work.

Soon we will also have these available as one-click apps, for a really expandable system, with hopefully lots of useful plugins!

Example, a plugin to, say, monitor disks in the system:

Code: Select all

bash$ rails generate plugin Disks
      create  plugins/disks/Gemfile
      create  plugins/disks/LICENSE
      create  plugins/disks/README.rdoc
      create  plugins/disks/Rakefile
      create  plugins/disks/app
      create  plugins/disks/app/assets/images/.gitkeep
      create  plugins/disks/app/assets/javascripts/application.js
      create  plugins/disks/app/assets/stylesheets/application.css
      create  plugins/disks/app/controllers/application_controller.rb
      create  plugins/disks/app/controllers/tab_controller.rb
      create  plugins/disks/app/helpers/application_helper.rb
      create  plugins/disks/app/views/tab/index.html.slim
      create  plugins/disks/config
      create  plugins/disks/config/locales/en.yml
      create  plugins/disks/db
      create  plugins/disks/lib
      create  plugins/disks/script
      create  plugins/disks/config/amahi-plugin.yml
      create  plugins/disks/disks.gemspec
      create  plugins/disks/lib/disks.rb
      create  plugins/disks/lib/disks/version.rb
      create  plugins/disks/lib/disks/engine.rb
      create  plugins/disks/lib/tasks/disks.rake
      create  plugins/disks/config/routes.rb
      create  plugins/disks/script/rails
       chmod  plugins/disks/script/rails
bash$

once the platform is restarted, the plugin is working right away (albeit with little functionality)

Awesome! Can hardly wait to start packaging them

Hi, this feature was released a couple of weeks ago widely with Amahi 7.3.

We need ideas on what to package as plugins!

What features or functionality can we easily and more importantly, usefully, package as plugins?

I added one to the bug tracker the other day.
https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1480

I think this would be the best way to track new suggestions for plugins

EDIT: BTW, do we have a list of current plugins under development? Would be good to post that here and in the wiki where all can see.

the app store is probably the best to keep tabs on these, but for now, things are extremely busy to clean these up, add nice logos and screenshots, etc., so here is a list:

http://www.amahi.org/apps/db-backups-plugin -- Backing up databases
http://www.amahi.org/apps/pooling -- Greyhole, finishing development
http://www.amahi.org/apps/web-apps -- Add ability to add web apps
http://www.amahi.org/apps/disk-stats -- Disk stats plugin
http://www.amahi.org/apps/disk-wizard -- New disk wizard, under development

Awesome! Can't wait to test them out.
