Support for Supermicro IPMI #52

Open Mr-Technician opened 1 year ago

Mr-Technician commented 1 year ago

I'm loving this and it works great for my Dell R210 II, but I also have a server with a Supermicro X9 SRL-F board. Looking at the startup.sh I suspect this code could be modified to support old Supermicro boards.

Do you think this is possible?

For me, a first step would be to learn how I can somehow go about logging the exact strings that are being sent by the browser when I click the submit button. I imagine I can do it with Wireshark, but I'd also imagine there might be more clever ways to do that as well.

See here for instructions on how to check if it can be supported.

Given that Supermicro's IPMIView software works well, I don't think support for Supermicro IPMI is critical in this docker container: https://www.supermicro.com/en/support/resources/downloadcenter/smsdownload?category=IPMI

This said, I could understand if VNC or HTML is more desirable than needing to install additional software.

If anyone is interested in this functionality I released a project which works with X9 motherboards, you can find it here.

@DomiStyle, I'm not sure if you tried this, but I was able to persist (some) user preferences by setting JAVA_OPTS -Djava.util.prefs.systemRoot=/config/xdg/config -Djava.util.prefs.userRoot=/config/xdg/config and saving the $XDG_x_HOME directories in either a named volume or a host mount. I no longer have any 11th Generation Dell servers so I am unable to check if this would work with your project.
