WebUI Links for Unraid

An Unraid plugin for people who reach their containers through Nginx Proxy Manager. Clicking WebUI on a container opens its proxy domain (for example https://immich.home.example.com) instead of http://IP:PORT. A second menu entry, "WebUI (IP:port)", still opens the direct address for when the proxy is down.

It works on the Docker page, including FolderView3 folders that use the standard menu, and on the Dashboard.

How it works

• include/links.php reads Nginx Proxy Manager's proxy host files (data/nginx/proxy_host/*.conf) and builds a map from forward address (192.168.1.10:8081) to domain. It never writes to them.
• WebUILinks.page is a Buttons page, so Unraid loads it on every page. It writes that map into the page.
• js/webui-links.js wraps Unraid's addDockerContainerContext. When a container's WebUI address matches a proxy host, the WebUI entry opens the domain and the direct entry is added after it. The path is kept, and host and port values in the query string are switched to the domain, which noVNC needs.
• Containers aren't touched: no template edits, no restarts. Uninstalling gives you the stock menu back.
• If a future Unraid release changes the menu code, the wrapper stops matching and the stock menu shows.

New proxy hosts show up on the next page load. A container only matches when its proxy host forwards to the same IP and port its WebUI uses.

Settings

Settings → User Utilities → WebUI Links:

Settings are saved to /boot/config/plugins/webui-links/webui-links.cfg. The page also lists every proxy host it found.

Install

Go to Plugins → Install Plugin and paste:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/theovencook/unraid-webui-links/main/plugin/webui-links.plg

It has also been submitted to Community Applications and will show up there once it's reviewed.

To install without internet access, copy archive/webui-links-<version>-noarch-1.txz to /boot/config/plugins/webui-links/ and run plugin install /path/to/webui-links.plg on the server. The plugin manager checks the MD5 and uses the package on the flash drive instead of downloading it.
