I saw that the PR was merged. Let me know when it's available and I'll add the nix-env -i managarr to the README

Thanks for doing the legwork on this! I would definitely be a bit out of my depth on that PR without actually having Nix installed 😂.

Once it's merged I'll update the README to mention the Nix installation method.

Sounds good, let me know! Also give me some links to track it too so I can also add it to the repo!

Given that I can't really see what would change in Managarr that would require additional changes in the Nix package, I see no reason not to have us both as maintainers, especially since I don't currently have Nix installed. (It's high up on my to-do list, don't worry! I know I'll like it!)

Are there any files that would need to be checked into the repo so we can maintain an official package for it?

Did you happen to have a GitHub action to go with this too? Turns out that refactor took a lot less time than I expected.

Oh and that next release is going to be a minute. I realized a massive race condition bug between the networking thread and event thread that I want to resolve. It's going to take a minute since I'm going to have to move a good amount of logic from the networking thread to the even thread to send parameters to the networking channel. So the next patch will be that fix, the release fix, and the dynamic UI based on the config. If you want, I can ping you when I'm going to do it so you can open your MR and we can get the Nix package into the next release.

That was literally going to be one of the things I was going to ask someone to help me out to do. I wanted to make it available for Nix as well so I have no idea how to write a package definition for it, though I'm sure I could figure it out. I'm seriously stoked you did that! Thanks!

Thanks for pointing out the tagging bug. I just pushed out the fix to the release pipeline to correct that.

As for the configuration, it's quite funny you mention that because I just earlier today pushed out the fix for that and I plan to have it as part of the next release. The fix being, that the UI dynamically changes based on what Servarrs you have in your config file.

And as for the color theme, that's an interesting thought. I'll look into it now!

Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it. And seriously, thanks for catching that tagging bug. That's definitely not ideal...

Thank you so much! I really hope it lives up to the hype it's getting 😅

Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate you!

Thank you so much! I was wondering if anyone had been using it more consistently because I was waiting for more bug reports to come in but haven't yet. I started thinking, "There's no way I didn't miss something. I gotta figure out how to break it! 😂

I'm so glad you like it and use it!

Thank you I appreciate it! ☺️

To answer your question, I built it for a few reasons:

• I wanted to learn Rust, so I used this project to do that
• I really love TUI's and I pretty much live in my command line at work, and since I already automate everything I can to make my work life easier, I wanted to be able to do the same with my homelab
• I think it looks cool
• For fun. If no one else ever gets use out of it, that's okay! I just really enjoyed building it and I'm excited to build out more of it.

But also: Why not?

So really, you would only use this if you like TUIs or want a command line tool for interacting with your Servarrs. If you have no use for it, that's totally fine too!

As for container support: if you mean if there's a docker version, yes there is. If that's not what you meant, then my bad!

This is what I get for typing with a cat paw on my keyboard 😂 thanks for pointing that out! I updated the link!

No hate perceived on my end! To answer your question, I built it for a few reasons:

That's amazing. Hello fellow Alex! 😂

You're the first person to catch the reference! Sadly, no I'm not. But I was a prolific PSP modder as a kid so I knew his name and was very familiar with him. So, in my adult life, since he had such a big impact on me, my username is made after him! My real name is Alex so it just kind of worked.

Of course! There's a lot of work remaining to be done to add support for other features, Servarrs, etc. So contributions are very welcome! ☺️

Thank you so much! ☺️

I can't speak for other countries, but for the U.S, all weather apps get the majority of their data from the National Weather Service. This includes apps like AccuWeather. The NWS publishes all weather data free and open, so it's likely this app gets U.S. based weather information from there.
