Is it possible to create a webmin module to control the pms.conf file on a headless machine?

Don't know what webmin is, but have another proposition if you are familiar with SOAP. You can download the webserviceplugin (I've just uploaded a compiled version), drop it inside the plugins directory and you'll have all configuration options available through SOAP.

After restarting PMS, check the log to see if you find these lines

Code: Select all

[main] INFO  14:03:16.618 Sucessfully bound enpoint: http://192.168.5.113:54425/PmsConfiguration
[main] INFO  14:03:16.630 Sucessfully bound enpoint: http://192.168.5.113:54425/FileSystem

PmsConfiguration: exposes the configuration (read/write)
FileSystem: Let's browse the file system of the machine where the server is running (reads folder names only)

For now only the service part has been done, but no client. You can access the services with any soap client (e.g. SOAPUI where you can enter the endpoint as http://192.168.5.113:54425/PmsConfiguration?wsdl).

WARNING: There aren't any securities whatsoever (authentication, ip check ...). Be aware that these settings can be changed by anyone on the same LAN!

To answer you question: Yes it is possible with a plugin.

webmin.com

it has several modules to configure some linux services.

I don´t know soap but i´ll try your plugin with soapui on a mac(?) and post the results!
thank you

SoapUI works with osx. It gives you a basic interface where you edit the value in the XML yourself. Don't forget to call save() if you want your changes to remain after a restart.
