Allow option to clean notifications. Currently the only way to clean notifications is to restart the application. It would be nice to be able to clear any old notifications.

From point 2 of #6

After upgrading to the new Ubuntu LTS version I have encountered several problems with sia host manager.
First the appimage version did not want to start, discovered I had to install libfuse for appimages to work again. Now sia host manager is starting without a hitch. Next problem I have encountered is that sia host manager complains about having no access to the file directories? ("path/xyz/ is inaccessible. This can cause data corruption and revenue loss. Check your folder path and permissions") I'm still finishing contracts and did not change any permissions. Anyone got a tip for me on how to solve this issue?

Hello,

meanwhile I Updatet my host and gave it a DNS adresse (siahost.srvdns.de) but off course in the background it still works with the IPv6 adresse.

-The IPv6 Adresse at the DNS Service is correct.
-The Prots in the Router are set correctly to the targest Host Machine
-DNS Forwarding in the Router is enabeld

so i dont see any issue on may side...?

The host dosen't show up on the https://siastats.info/hosts_map why is that? How can I fix this?

Thanks in advance Torsten

I would like to be able to use this management software and dashboard on a Raspberry Pi, where this system runs in a browser instead of in a desktop app. Is this something that could ever happen, or would it require a complete re-work of the existing system?

Is this possible to run on ARM cpu on Raspberry Pi? I tried the .deb and also tried to run it with npm but no luck, hitting a lot of walls. Any help?

Standard dpkg deb install gave me a lot of broken packages. Trying with gdebi gives me this, but I'm not able to install further.

Risked collateral from the contract grid shows as double what the dashboard shows

It appears that restarting siad every once in a while solves the stale contracts problem. Although this is probably something that should be fixed on the Sia side, it might be worth adding the option to restart siad every 24h/1week etc.

Hello , i tried to get mi sia Host running with an IPv6 Adress but i get this massage iv i check the function over https://troubleshoot.siacentral.com/sia/%5B2a02:8071:82a2:1e00:74d9:5f9:57f6:822a%5D:9982?unit=decimal&currency=eur

but basically the host is running

could you please check and give a hint on how to solve it soon.

Thanks in advance Torsten

I received a Javascript error when opening Sia Host Manager today.

Absolutely loving Host Manager so far!

When I chose to import my Sia settings (I checked the Advanced settings box), I was directed to enter my wallet unlock password. This was also the page that mentioned I could set the system environment variable. I chose to let Host Manager unlock my wallet for me and entered my wallet password. Success on this step.

The next screen popped up, and appeared to have some additional info regarding unlocking the wallet for hosting. I think it wanted me to enter my password again. I didn't read too much on this screen because it automatically skipped through this into the "Scanning" screen, and then finally into the app.

Host Manager should offer multiple versions of the configuration screen for simple or advanced users.

Simple:

• Storage and bandwidth pricing
• Collateral
• Max duration
• Registry configuration

Advanced:

• Base RPC/sector access price
• Max collateral
• Collateral budget
• Contract price

The newest Sia daemon (1.4.7) is now the lowest version that will communicate with renters. I'm not sure about the details of why, but 1.4.7 needs to be used to continue hosting.

A workaround is to launch the updated SiaUI to start the daemon with the correct version and then launching Host Manager, but this requires manual unlocking of the wallet, so this is not ideal for situations like mine where I have Host Manager running in a VM on my NAS. Any time I restart my NAS, I have to VNC into the VM and manually unlock my wallet.

Add filtering, sorting, and exporting to contracts view to make it more useful and dynamic.

In the contract view, make the values in the ID column have a context menu (i.e. by right clicking it) and provide the ability to "copy to clipboard".
I currently have to use the link to SiaStats for each row just to grab the full contract ID. I would rather just copy it from the contract view of Sia Host Manager.

  Thanx for attention.

After opening Sia Host Manager, I change the window size/dimensions. Once I close and re-open it, it opens as the original default window size and not as the last used window size, which requires me to resize the window dimensions to the size I want to see all the components.
Can the capability to retain last used window size be added?

I've installed sia via handyhost and want to run host-manager but not sure of the correct settings to connect to handyhost

When resizing, allow an option 'resize to maximum available'

While trying to change currency, I notices Update button is not available because of apparent host:port formatting. Field does not accept sbox.myds.me:9982.

Although i can see that my host is storing data and technically working, i would like to know how well the host is working (e.g. latency, up-down speed) and maybe compare it to other hosts through e.g. benchmarking. Sia Stats for example does:

Adding some of those scores/metrics to the dashboard will enhance the person's understanding of how good their Sia host actually a=performs.

/daemon/alerts is a new API endpoint that is meant to tell users what is wrong with any modules they are running. It would be awesome to display those alerts somewhere.

https://gitlab.com/NebulousLabs/Sia/merge_requests/3769

Here are some minor UI issues:

The user can't see all info on the pop-up and also can't scroll down. The only option to see the buttons at the bottom of the popup is to increase the window size.

2. Allow option to clean notifications. Currently the only way to clean notifications is to restart the application. It would be nice to be able to clear any old notifications.

Both 'Download Price' and 'Upload Price' under network in the configuration share the same description:

The amount of money to download 1 TB from the host

Obviously the upload description should say:

The amount of money to upload 1 TB from the host

Allows hosts to set a maximum storage size and dynamically grow/shrink available storage based on utilization.

I'd like to do a couple UX changes for this:

• Select drives instead of specific paths
• Allocate storage as a percentage of free space instead of raw bytes
• Automatically create and manage multiple smaller storage folders under the hood grouped by drive in order to increase performance of resizes and removing.
• Allow existing hosts to use the regular method (autodetection using magicfile?)

I'm running this on the default Ubuntu 20.04.1 installation, and no tray icon appears when I close out. However, htop confirms that it is running in the background still. I'm wondering if we can add a configuration option to disable Minimize to Tray, and also potentially investigate why it is not minimizing. Thanks!

Memory usage quickly goes up on larger hosts. Not necessarily a memory leak, seems to be due to how much data needs to be processed to calculate totals on the fly. We should be able to reduce this with changes to the data syncing process.

I don't see an option to configure maxcollateral. It seems to be the only way to limit the size (in Bytes) of a contract - which is important to me as a big contract saturates my internet connection for a month.

For some reason, if I set maxcollateral with ´siac host config maxcollateral´, it is soon changed back to the earlier value - possibly by the running host-manager. So is there a field for maxcollateral which I just haven't noticed?

Show the current exchange rate to your currently-selected currency in the top-left info section. Maybe even add a graph.

Hello

Is there a way to manage multiple hosts with the host-manager?

When quitting Sia Host Manager, siad stays open in the background. This poses a potentially minor security risk: the next time a user opens Sia-UI on its own, it will auto-unlock the wallet.

Currently if the API key changes (e.g after an upgrade with a docker container) the application won't prompt to change API key but stay on "API credentials invalid".

I believe there should be an option in the UI to change the API key instead of having to go into the config file to update it manually. Is there a way to do this that I missed?

I run siad on another machine but I'd still like to be able to use host manager.

I previously installed and update host-manager with a .deb release, but now I see there isn't a .deb release.

I'm not sure how to go about updating without breaking anything. I'm on ubuntu btw.

Please add a configuration option to use a different date format within the Setting dialog (alongside the Currency selector). Alternatively, make the date format use whatever is selected system-wide in the system's computer's locale settings.

In Canada, the dd/mm/yyyy is never used, and is very tough for me to wrap my head around. I would prefer yyyy-mm-dd, as that is the standard for computing systems, but mm/dd/yyyy is very common in the US, so that should be added/respected as well.

Thanks!

Automatic updates are technically already enabled, but I'd like to customize how they work more. Updates are checked currently only when Host Manager is first run and never again. I'd like to change that to check every few hours. In addition, I'd like to add a custom display on the UI for when an update is ready for install.

Automatic pricing presets. Presets control all "Financial" related items on the configuration page. Selecting a preset will need to remove the controls from the UI only allowing an overview of what they are currently set to.

Network
Uses Sia Central API - top 50% of hosts based on percentage of data stored, uptime, and pricing.

Network High - Average pricing based on top 33%
Network Mid - Average pricing based on middle 33%
Network Low - Average pricing based on bottom 33%

Fixed
Fixed Pricing based on competitors - Picks pricing based on AWS, B2, or the Sia team's estimates

AWS - Takes AWS current pricing and divides it by 3 for Sia's 3x redundancy $5/TB/Month
B2 - Takes B2 current pricing and divides it by 3 for Sia's 3x redundancy $1.5/TB/Month

In the contract view, make the column ordering configurable. This could be through drag & drop or even just a (textual) number ordering in a configuration page.
I frequently use Sia Host Manager to compare values in columns and, often, those columns are at opposite ends of my screen (i.e. far left and far right). I would like to be able to have them side-by-side for easier comparison.

Hey, I have tried this guide: click but I am not able to get it running. Any tips?

I want to use the host manager only as an interface to view the settings / contracts of my host, but not to update them. I would love to disable host config updates, but instead read the values from the host and display them. I have automated scripts that update the configuration on the host.

Detailed documentation on getting setup and all implemented features is needed

• Installation Guide
• Basic Troubleshooting
• Alerts Overview
• Settings Overview
• Dashboard Overview
• Contracts Overview
• Configuration Overview

Sia Host Manager still seen in Activity Monitor after exit. I like the product.

App Version: v1.0.30
Sia Daemon Version: v1.5.4

I go to Settings, App Settings, put currency to EUR and click update.
Then i go to Configuration, change some rates. click update configuation, click announce.

Then currency is back to USD. The Configuration screen is showing a mismatch of both USD and the euro currency symbol. And on the App Settings screen there is again mentioned USD.

I sent a few SC to the address shown by pressing "Receive Siacoin", the transaction was reported as successful by binance, and they didn't get there (yesterday).

What could be going on?

Maybe I closed and reopened the app and the address changed.

I have been thinking on the way hosts set their financials taking into account the SC volatility.

Currently if the SC price changes, hosts have to manually update their financials and recalculate from USD - SC to get their desired income, which is a manual and tedious task.

I suggest the following: Allow host input their desired financials in either the native SC or USD. If USD is selected, allow them to automatically peg/lock their financial profile to the USD value of SC. Meaning that if SC changes in value, the amount of SC in the financial profile will change as well. It will essentially always show the correct number of SC for the input USD value.

This will allow me, as a host, to not worry about either being to cheap, or to expensive if the SC valuation changes.

If you click "Yes" when asked if you would like to import your configuration from Sia-UI during setup you will not be taken to the advanced settings screen afterwards.

This is incorrect since Sia-UI does not support the advanced settings at this time.

Can anyone tell me why the H: partition is giving read and write errors?
While other partition F: is ok.

And F: occupies the other entire disk.
