Web panel Ajenti 1.0 at the finish line

opening speech

Three and a half long years, we went to the release.


')
Ajenti is a growing web-based administration panel for Linux and FreeBSD, an alternative to Webmin, and today I have the honor to announce the upcoming release of stable version 1.0 .

What's new?

General updates

• The interface now uses WebSockets to communicate with the server, reducing delays and increasing speed.
  
• User accounts with the ability to set permissions.
  
• Automatic HTTPS certificate generator - no excuse for unencrypted traffic!
  
• Less traffic: interface updates are sent to JSON, and HTML is generated in the browser.
  
• Localization: translation into 17 languages, including Russian.
  
• Plugins: additional dependencies are installed with one click.
  
• The terminals open up as tabs inside the Ajenti window.
  
• Support for working inside the sub-URL (http: // host / ajenti) via NGINX.
  

For developers

Now Ajenti is a full-fledged web platform for developing frontends for various services, or just web service applications.

• Stateful work model (with state preservation) - you no longer need to think about saving data in a session or processing HTTP requests - the state of the application and the interface is saved automatically, the development is closer to desktop applications than to web sites.
  
• UI-bindings: automatic data binding with the interface.
  
• Intents - convenient interaction between plugins, for example, you can open the Notepad plugin with the specified file from the File Manager plugin.
  

Plugins

• Samba CTDB support.
  
• MySQL and PostgreSQL plugins that allow you to execute SQL queries and manage users and databases.
  
• NFS management plugin.
  
• The “File Systems” plugin includes information on disk usage and allows you to (once) mount the file system.
  
• IPTables: comments to the rules, a cleaner interface, smart options (--sport adds --protocol tcp, etc.).
  
• LM-Sensors plugin to display temperatures.
  
• Logs are displayed in real time (tail -f).
  
• Displays the status of the LSI MegaRAID arrays.
  
• Munin: graphics are proxied through Ajenti, a direct connection between the browser and Munin is no longer required.
  
• Netatalk plugin (AFPD).
  
• Network plugin: display of traffic and speed.
  
• NSD DNS Server Plugin.
  
• Power plugin displays battery usage.
  
• The script widget allows you to run a given command from the main page.
  
• Displays RAID status (mdadm).
  
• SMART widget
  
• Services from Sys-V, Upstart and Supervisor are combined and displayed in a single Services plugin (and can be managed by widgets).
  
• Process Manager is now much faster.
  
• Terminals also connect via WebSockets.
