The window
The window, titled Neutrino client, has a Status section and a Services section. This page names every part of both and covers connecting, disconnecting and the language.
The status card
| The card reads | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Connected | joined, with the hub's address and hub followed by its version, and a Disconnect button |
| Not connected | not joined, with a field that takes the link from the hub's Clients page and a Connect button |
| Reconnecting to the hub | joined, and the hub is not answering right now; the client keeps trying by itself |
| Switched off by the hub | disabled on the Clients page; every button is greyed until the hub enables it again |
Disconnect leaves the hub, and the Services section then reads Services appear once you join a hub. From a terminal, nclient connect '<link>' joins, where <link> is the link from the Clients page, and nclient disconnect leaves.
The five panels
Services draws five panels in a fixed order, whether or not each has entries: Web, Ports, AI, Files and Remote desktops. An empty panel reads a line such as no port is published. An entry the hub cannot reach right now is greyed and reads not reachable now. The line under each entry names its source:
| The line reads | The source |
|---|---|
| published by the Samba module on a host | a Samba share on that host |
| published by container and its image | a container's host port |
| published by the AI gateway | the hub's AI gateway |
| declared by hand | a declaration on the hub's Services page |
| shared from a device | that device's desktop |
Settings
- Select Settings at the top of the window.
- In the Client settings dialog, pick the Language, English or 中文, and select Save.
The window's language is the client's own; the panel's language is set on the hub.
The tray
Closing the window hides it, and the client keeps running. Open in the tray icon's menu shows the window again, and Quit stops the client. On Windows the icon is in the taskbar corner, on Linux in the indicator area of the panel, and on macOS in the menu bar. nclient gui --hidden starts the client in the tray with no window, and nclient quit stops it from a terminal.
A different version
The three packages share one version number. A client newer than the hub is rejected with client_newer_than_hub and leaves the hub. Its window then reads that the hub is upgraded first and a fresh link pasted afterwards. A client older than the hub is offered an upgrade. A hub that was reset or reinstalled rejects the old binding with hub_untrusted, and a fresh link joins again.
