Wren GUI

Wren GUI provides a simple administration interface for a running Wren platform instance.

Features

Basic features include:

• Active monitors for disk, save-file, RAM, and swap usage
• Save to disk (with drop-down save name selection)
• Increase active save size
• Clean apt caches
• Drop memory caches
• Grub configuration maintenance
  • View current configuration
  • Preview updated configuration
  • Perform configuration update (with built-in backup)

Installation

To download and install Wren GUI on a running Wren instance:

• Simple: Clone or extract anywhere and run sudo ./wren-gui from within the project directory.
• Full Installation: Copy and paste the following (long and ugly) command into a terminal and press enter (assumes Ubuntu):
  • pushd /opt && wget https://github.com/trynd/wren-gui/archive/master.tar.gz -O - | sudo tar xz && sudo mv wren-gui-master wren-gui && sudo ln -sf /opt/wren-gui/wren-gui /usr/local/sbin/wren-gui && popd
  • The above command extracts the latest version of Wren GUI to the /opt/wren-gui directory and creates a symbolic link to the application in usr/local/sbin
  • Once it's installed you can start Wren GUI from a terminal at any time with the command sudo wren-gui

Requirements

Wren GUI is written primarily in Python/GTK+ and is currently designed around:

• Wren 0.1.0
• Ubuntu Desktop 14.04.1 LTS (32-bit) root image

All necessary libraries are available in a base Ubuntu Desktop 14.04.1 LTS root image (installed from ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-i386.iso).

Your mileage may vary on other configurations.
