💣 BombVault Widget puts BombVault's activity log where you already look: a real, native tile on the Unraid 7 dashboard. Every backup, restore, verify, prune, off-site replication and drill scrolls by as it happens — plus the next scheduled run — in the same dark terminal-style log as BombVault's own widget.

Read-only — the tile is fed through a same-origin proxy; the widget token never reaches the browser.

1. What is this?

A small Unraid plugin (no daemon, no container) that registers a native dashboard tile named BombVault Activity. The tile shows up in the dashboard's tile-management list like the built-in ones — hide it, move it between columns, collapse it. Its body is a fixed-height, scrollable, always-dark log (newest at the bottom, auto-follow unless you scroll up) whose lines mirror BombVault's own embeddable widget one-to-one: green for success, red for failures, blue for off-site replication, yellow for the pulsing "next: …" line.

2. Screenshots

The BombVault Activity tile on the Unraid dashboard — every backup, restore and verify scrolls by in the dark terminal-style log, with the pulsing "next: …" line at the bottom.

Settings under Utilities: BombVault URL + widget token with a one-click connection test, and a short note on how the tile behaves.

3. Requirements

• Unraid 6.12.0 or newer (the tile uses the modern dashboard; built for Unraid 7).
• BombVault 6.9.0 or newer running on your network.
• A widget token, generated in BombVault → Settings → System → Dashboard widget.

4. Install on Unraid

Community Applications listing: TODO — until the CA entry in unraid-apps is live, install via Plugins → Install Plugin with the raw .plg URL:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junkerderprovinz/bombvault-widget/main/plugin/bombvaultwidget.plg

5. Setup

1. In BombVault open Settings → System → Dashboard widget and generate a widget token (copy it right away — it is shown only once).
2. In Unraid open Settings → Utilities → BombVault Widget, enter the BombVault URL (e.g. https://192.168.20.51:3443) and the token, hit Apply. Pasting BombVault's full widget URL (…/widget?token=…) into the token field works too — the token part is extracted automatically.
3. Click Test connection — it answers with the BombVault version when everything is wired.
4. Open the Dashboard: the BombVault Activity tile is live in the middle column.

6. How it works

• bombvaultwidget.Dashboard.page registers the tile (Menu="Dashboard:0" + $mytiles), a static scaffold with the native Unraid 7 tile header (chevron, an open-BombVault link once a URL is configured, cog to the settings page).
• scripts/bombvaultwidget.js polls server/status.php every 10 seconds and renders the log rows via textContent (no HTML from feed data ever runs).
• server/status.php is a same-origin proxy: it reads the URL + token from /boot/config/plugins/bombvaultwidget/bombvaultwidget.cfg and calls exactly one endpoint — BombVault's GET /api/widget/data — with the X-Widget-Token header, 5 s timeout, self-signed LAN TLS accepted. Unreachable or misconfigured = a clean JSON 503, which the tile shows as a pulsing red status line while keeping the history on screen.

7. Security

The widget token stays server-side: the browser only ever talks to the Unraid webgui (session-protected), and the proxy only ever talks to the one hard-coded BombVault endpoint — no request parameter can redirect it. On BombVault's side the token grants read-only access to the activity log and schedule preview, nothing else, and can be revoked/rotated any time in BombVault's settings. TLS peer verification is deliberately disabled for the LAN call because BombVault serves a self-signed certificate on a private address.
