Previously, i built a command line utility that allows users create virtual hosts in seconds. Surprisingly, i got some mails from folks interested in using the tool, but for some reasons, would have preferred a desktop client instead.
I released the first version of the desktop version yesterday. The desktop application allows you to
- View virtual hosts
- Create a new virtual host
- Delete a virtual host.
It is designed to be very easy to use, and very straightforward. I need to say also that this is the first desktop application i built using Electron js. Javascript is such a beautiful thing now.
The work is not totally done yet as there are some amazing features that will be added soon.
- Technology Stack
Vhost Desktop Manager was built using
- Javascript using Electron js and Node js
Typically, electron provides the environment, window, and Node js is used to access native Operating System components like Filesystem.
- Css using Bulma css
The styling of this application was done using bulma css. Bulma is a nice alternative to bootstrap css and is entirely built on flexbox.
Roadmap
- Edit vhost config
- Automatically create directory if it does not exist
- Add support for windows users
- Add support for Mac users
- Create an executable using Electron builder
