hi guys and welcome back to another record video hope you guys had a great week it's
been a busy one over here over at uh ibra corp as we're currently trying to build a new server
and it's our first time building one with a rack so it's been a bit of a learning adventure
i've been taking some photos along the way so hopefully i'll be able to share that progress
with you once it's done but i'm expecting it to take quite some time because we're not trying to
rush it so we'll let you know once it's finished i'll put a video out there about it as well
today we're just gonna be going through a hopefully a quick one
which is setting a theme for your unraid server so i put up a photo on our community tab
on our channel a few days ago shouting out a developer who's made plenty of themes before
probably for apps you've already seen and they include ones for organizer flex the unread ui
plenty of other things as well and i'll just show you what that looks like in a second
but today we're going to be showing you the login screen i didn't actually think anybody
would be that interested but it seems that people have asked me to actually make a video on it so
i'll show you how to do it today and what you're looking at here is an example that was sent to me
by the developer for our main server zeus so it was pretty cool to see in a photo sent to
me that way so then i've had a look and gone through the instructions so we'll walk you
through that today please enjoy if you haven't already please remember to like and subscribe
if you enjoy our content we really appreciate it without further ado let's get stuck into it
okay so we're here on the image that have been sent as you can see it looks really really cool
and it's pretty customizable as well so we'll go to the developers github page and here he is here
gilb n i'm not sure if that's how you want to pronounce it mate but i'm just going to call
it gilban for the rest of the video so thanks to his hard work he's licensed out his work so people
can use it so going through his main page here you can see there's themes here for all sorts of stuff
if you go down to the current themes in the repo you'll see you've got sonar radar you know themes
for all of this basically he's gone and created which is really really cool when it comes to
unraid if we just open up the unread one you can actually change the theme of the unread ui itself
but in today's example we're just going to go through the login screen because i think that's
one of the coolest things he's done i've got the instructions here i'll go through them we'll
go through them together and i'll have the link in the description for you so if you've watched
our video on the top 20 plugins for unraid you'll know that one of them that i suggested was the ca
user scripts plugin and the reason why i suggested it was because people in the community will often
give you a script if they're trying to help you with something and makes it easy for you
to load into your server the instructions today they ask us to have the plugin and he's going to
provide us with a bash script so if you don't have the plugin just go over to the app store
so type in user scripts bring up a whole bunch of stuff but the one we want is this one here
by squid so big thanks to squid for his work there once you've installed it you pretty much
just click that guys click to install it'll install it you can then go to the settings
for it so click add new script and we'll give it a name so we'll call it unraid login screen
click ok and you can see it's here now so there's nothing in it yet that's what we need to do now
so if we just click on the left here and go to edit script we've now got an available space to
put our script into so following his documentation still it asks us to paste the contents of the bash
script custom underscore login so i've got that script here so i'm going to go ahead and copy that
in bang copied in pretty pretty straightforward let's go back to the instructions so then it says
so below the shebang are the variables we need to change for the different things
so he's highlighted this section here the type retro etc so i'm going to move this back over
and if we just look through the script it's right at the top if i go back to the documentation here
real quick i'll just go back this is the main link so i'll put that in there now what you're doing is
you're having a look at which one you like whether it's the retro alien or the fallout themes and
they all look pretty cool i like the retro one so i've clicked on retro terminal so then he's
provided instructions for that specific theme so really we don't really need to change too much
here besides probably the theme colors so i'll just move this over so you can see theme equals
green.css so we're going to change that to red i just like the idea of the red one following his
documentation still set the values to what you like and click save changes so we filled
it all in we're happy with that we're going to go ahead and click save changes that's now saved
so the next step change the startup option so that way we can have it start up at every boot
so under the scheduling option here we'll say at startup of array perfect go ahead and click
apply and the schedule's now been applied so the actual script hasn't been run yet so we're
just going to go ahead and run that and done so hopefully if we log out now there's our new theme
how about that looks pretty cool uh it's a little bit animated here as well
pretty rad if you're happy with it looking exactly like that then you don't really have to change
anything but if you want to have a custom logo or change the ascii setup here then what you'll need
to do is fork the github repo so that you can customize it the way you want so to do
that we'll go back onto github here okay so we're signed in on github we're signed into our account
and we want to now fork this so that we can have our own copy of it so that's fine we'll go ahead
and click fork up in the top right corner and we're pretty much done so now it's under my github
and i've forked his work so that we can then customize the things that we want
okay so now we've forked it we can see that it's underneath the ibracorp name now
so to customize the unread login screen we'll go into css folder go to add-ons unraid login page
and here we've got our themes so we went with the retro so we'll go to retro
then underneath the retro we've got your css themes here for the different colors so
we went with red so let's go to red now in this field you'll see the logo
line here so if you want to add your own logo all i did was go to imja up uploaded their logo
and then i've put the url here then i've opened an incognito page just to make sure the cache
has been refreshed and as you can see it pulled the logo through make sure you run the script
of course first guys so go back to your scripts and just make sure you run the script once you've
run the script then you can know for sure that it's actually pulled down the latest information
that also means it's pulling down from our repo so how's it doing that if we go to edit for
the domain you can see i've just put github.com forward slash ibracorp so that part's pretty much
done so it's pulled our logo down which is awesome and now we basically just want to change the ascii
code so we'll do that we'll minimize this and we'll go back into here and just go back to retro
terminal and under js custom text header you can see we put this in here but it doesn't seem like
it's wanted to pull it through so i'm not sure why it's just not updating this top part here so
there might be something i've done wrong guys if i have please let me know but as you can see it's
a pretty damn cool theme he's got other themes as well for the actual unread ui as well as a
bunch of other apps so make sure you check out his github page g-i-l-b n on github so github slash
g-i-l-b-n and you can check out all of his work there so big thanks to him for his hard work here
i really appreciate it if you guys liked it give us a big thumbs up subscribe if you haven't
already it really helps the channel there and if you have any suggestions for the next video drop
