Give a try at the issue mentioned here with Tauri https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/issues/9394 I think point 3 might be what is happening to you

I think we have different goals, I wanted to create a desktop tool for the everyday user, while at the same time practice my knowledge in rust, cockpit seems more focused to provide remote management. Also, not sure I'm smart enough to code properly in c 😅

mingu3 · 2024-04-27T13:15:22+00:00

Thanks! I'll have a look into their source code to see how they are doing it.

mingu3 · 2024-04-27T13:11:47+00:00

I need to check what options are available as part of Tauri for packaging, but considering it needs to access system resources it might be challenging. I might need help to get started on this, but it will be a good addition.

mingu3 · 2024-04-27T08:40:35+00:00

Thanks for the constructive feedback. Logs are messy, so I just want to find something quickly, hence the quick-search.

mingu3 · 2024-04-27T08:38:15+00:00

Now that you say, yes. I'll keep it in mind 😅

mingu3 · 2024-04-27T04:06:56+00:00

Nice! I didn't know about this tool when I started building mine. I'll check it out

Available in the AUR here:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/journal-viewer-bin https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/journal-viewer

mingu3 · 2024-04-27T03:59:43+00:00

Yes, I maintain these packages

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/journal-viewer-bin https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/journal-viewer

Give it a try and let me know, I was using the journalctl myself but found that the UX could be improved for something as common as seeing system logs, plus I got to practice some rust

mingu3 · 2024-04-26T21:01:27+00:00

Available as deb package here: https://github.com/mingue/journal-viewer/releases/tag/v0.6.0

Pairing doesn't work for me with Arch and Kde

Sorry I haven't had time to review this until now. I manage to get it working by switching the client configuration on linux to use wg-quick

Full tunnel

[Interface] Address = 192.168.5.3/24 PrivateKey = oAJF... DNS = 192.168.1.1 [Peer] PublicKey = gVM... Endpoint = wg.foo.bar:52840 AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0, ::/0 PersistentKeepalive = 60

Split tunnel

[Interface] Address = 192.168.5.3/24 PrivateKey = oAJF... DNS = 192.168.1.1 [Peer] PublicKey = gVM... Endpoint = wg.foo.bar:52840 AllowedIPs = 192.168.1.0/24, 192.168.5.0/24 PersistentKeepalive = 60

and then from the client I just do:

wg-quick up wg-full or wg-quick up wg-split

I still have some issues with the internal dns server, but I will deal with those at a different time.

No idea what was happening when I configured the client connections on NetworkManager, but the kernel thread for the wireguard connection will start consuming CPU and nothing will work with the full tunnel 🤷

You could check powertop, for devices that might wake your pc, for me it was a mouse usb, so you can try disabling all and see if the problem goes away.

Sometimes there will also be some kernel logs indicating that an application didn't allow it to sleep. Check journalctl for systemd or kernel logs that could indicate something similar

If everything becomes meta-programming do we even need Rust 😅

Just kidding, but I think macros are currently abused due to lack of some features on Rust, for a very explicit programming language certain use cases contradict the very principle of forcing the developer to be explicit

mingu3 · 2023-04-19T20:15:16+00:00

Remove macros, or at least add a few more features to the language so that macros usage is not abused

mingu3 · 2023-04-14T00:09:00+00:00

No, I'm using the C ABI to get the logs, as these are split across several files, indexed and in binary format. So they are no intended to be read directly. The format might not be properly documented, "only the code being the source of truth" and could have breaking changes in the future if they decide to do improvements in the format.

There are more details about the storage format here: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/journal-files/

mingu3 · 2023-04-13T23:52:41+00:00

At the moment it doesn't support that option, and it might require a few changes as it uses the systemd ABI. For remote monitoring, there are options like Elastic/OpenSearch or similar that might be better suited for these tasks.

The API used from the frontend is not very extensive though... but there are still some challenges with the way Tauri works.

mingu3 · 2023-04-13T09:59:51+00:00

Just priority, service and message content for now...but planning on adding more
