Use with Alignak when Alignak is running on Python3

[KenWhitesell]

Is there a way to run the shinken webui module as a separate process in alignak rather than as a module within the broker?

We're running Alignak under version 3, and would like to try using the Shinken webui. Is there any way to do this?

Hi
quick responses:
1/ there is currently no solution to run the WebUI as an Alignak process.
2/ yes, I am currently using the Web UI as a broker module with Python 3

More elaborate:
I have a Web UI version in my own repo that is not merged in this official repo for many reasons indeed... not an "official" mod-webui version because not Shinken compatible. This version is available here: https://github.com/mohierf/mod-webui/tree/python3

It is quite a stable version because I am currently using and improving it when I find some time. You can feel free to evaluate this version and I will help if you have some problems

Hi.
We are working trying to work :) in a standalone shinken-webui using Alignak backend as data repository, using @mohierf repo as upstream. Steps we think we need:

• Translate all host/services searching queries to the backend/mongo version.
• So we will be able to stop using Regenerator into Datamanager.
• In this point, no broks needed, so no broker module needed.
• Final step, to fight with authentication, web server, uwsgi or whatever, etc.

End estimated... 2024 Q4.

@rednach is the ETA a realistic milestone ? 😉

I hope not!

Thank you very much for the quick response! I've got it up and running, so my installation is good, thank you!

Unfortunately, it's not working with my existing alignak-backend database - but since it works with a blank database at start, that implies to me that I've got some bad data hanging around, making it my problem to solve.

Thanks again,

Ken
