This experimental GUI is written in Python with wxPython widgets. You need to
|
|
have both installed for it to work. After starting tinc with either tincd or
|
|
tincctl, you can start the gui:
|
|
|
|
tincd -n vpn
|
|
tinc-gui -n vpn
|
|
|
|
If the GUI cannot find the pid file (for example if it is not in
|
|
/var/run), you can specify its location manually:
|
|
|
|
tinc-gui --pidfile /usr/local/var/run/tinc.vpn.pid
|
|
|
|
The following things sort of work:
|
|
|
|
- Changing the debug level from the settings page
|
|
- Viewing the list of connections, nodes, edges and subnets. These lists will
|
|
be refreshed once per second.
|
|
- Right-clicking on a connection brings up a popup menu, which allows you to
|
|
close a connection.
|
|
|
|
Python was chosen to enable rapid application development, wxWidgets for its
|
|
cross-platform compatibility and platform-native widgets. Once the GUI is
|
|
matured, it will probably rewritten in C++ to allow static linking and easy
|
|
distribution, without needing to install both Python and wxWidgets.
