[Feature Request] UrBackup Service Widget

[sdonchez]

Description

UrBackup is a centralized backup solution that supports making file and image backups of computers within a local network or over the internet. It exposes an API that already has a nodeJS wrapper.

I've authored urbackup-plugin, which implements a widget for reporting summary backup health data and backup disk usage. I've also provided an update to the docs to document this new widget.

I need 5 upvotes to open a PR to incorporate these changes.

Thanks!

Thank's for the job, the widget works fine :

Used storage is ok, number of clients too
But I don't understand "maxDays" option
I configured the widget with:
maxDays: 5

And the widget shows Out of date: 2

this is the status of my urBackup server:

The widget should have 0 for out of date, or I'm wrong ?

[sdonchez]

@Nonoss117, what do your devices show for Image backup status?
The widget will mark a client as out of date if either the last file backup or the last image backup is more than the configured number of days old, unless the device doesn't support image backups.

[Nonoss117]

@sdonchez thank's for your reply.
As you can see in my urbackup screenshot, the oldest file backup was 2 days old.
The oldest full image backup for all clients is 3 months old.
I tried to set maxDays: 500, without change, I allways have max out of date : 2

I'd like to, but I don't know the command for giving you the reponse the browser receive for that api call, I looked at the troubleshooting here : https://gethomepage.dev/en/more/troubleshooting/ with no luck.
Can you help me for that ?

[sdonchez]

@Nonoss117 I would just open the developer tools in your browser (Generally Right Click->Inspect or similar), and then go to the Network tab. Look for the corresponding request (something like the below, although group and service may be different), and then select the "response" tab. Expand all the values, and copy and paste them here.

So looking through your response, it looks like you have image backups disabled, causing an "image_disabled = true" flag to be set, along with "image_not_supported = false" and "lastbackup_image = 0". I didn't know that image_disabled was a valid flag, since there's absolutely no documentation of the api output anywhere, and I don't have any machines on my network with image disabled. The logic in the widget just checks if the image_not_supported flag is set,and if not, calculates the difference between the lastbackup_image (which in this case is 1/1/1970) and the current date.

If you want to open an issue for this, I'm happy to add the additional check for image_disabled - as I mentioned, I just had no way of knowing it existed.

[Nonoss117]

Oh, yes, I think have disabled all images. I backup only directories (incremental and full).
Thanks for your time spent for helping me.

I will open an issue for the widget.
And again, thank you @sdonchez
