Beta Testing Details

Marketplace

The number of apps available in ClearOS can be a bit overwhelming. The ClearOS 6.5.0 release provides some new Marketplace features to help alleviate the situation. The Marketplace Install Wizard now provides 3 install options for getting through the app selection process:

  • For new users, there's a Feature Wizard that steps through various features in ClearOS.
  • For veteran users, the Category Wizard displays apps by category (Server, Network, System and Reports) for quickly selecting what's needed.
  • For MSPs and consultants, the Quick Select option provides one-step recipes for deploying customer solutions.

In addition, there's a new Layout Manager that lets you choose how you want to view Marketplace apps (see screenshot below). We are still working through some usability issues in the entire install wizard, so feedback is certainly welcome.

ClearOS Marketplace Updates

Network Detail Report

The Network Detail Report provides a historical view of network traffic on a per IP/user basis. To install the app, run:

yum --enablerepo=clearos-updates-testing install app-network-detail

Administrators

The Administrators app allows you to delegate access to certain apps. To install the app, run:

yum --enablerepo=clearos-updates-testing install app-administrators

The app still needs some polish, notably:

  • Public pages (e.g. User Profile) should be filtered out.
  • Some apps will not work independently. For example, the PPTP Server requires access to the Account Manager. We'll clean those issues up.
  • There is an and a button… a wee bit confusing!

Updated Reporting Engine

The underlying reporting engine has been updated to support additional drill-down features as well as live charts. Known issues:

  • Some of the charts will show strange decimals on the x or y axis (e.g. 2.000002 instead of just 2)
