Labgrid UI

[flxzt]

I have been working on a UI frontend for managing labgrid infrastructure a while back and was able to convince my employer to publish it as open-source under GPL-3.0 🥳

I present to you: labgrid-ui!

The repository for this application is currently hosted on my employers public git, git.duagon.com. Contributing to git.duagon.com directly is currently a bit difficult, however since it is now open-source I made a clone on my private profile which can be used as source for contributions. I am planning to sync both with each other for the forseeable future.

It is available here: https://github.com/flxzt/labgrid-ui.

For anyone that wants to build this themselves and contribute, the DEVELOPING.md document is a good starting point.

labgrid-ui provides various features:

• overview of places, details view to see all additional data and resources registered to a particular place
• list of all available resources reported by exporters
• ability to lock & unlock places
• ability to add and remove resources to/from places easily by copy&pasting resource paths
• overview of current reservations
• ability to execute scripts for commonly used tasks such as turning the power on or off for a specific place
• recipes to build a ready-to-install flatpak (done in the CI, can be downloaded as artifact)
• Translated UI elements (so far for: en-us and de-de)
• should be buildable for windows (see DEVELOPING.md) - although not very well tested

The implementation uses gRPC to communicate with the coordinator. Note that an extended protobuf schema which includes array attributes is used (open PR: #1442, I would really like to get that merged!), however in the way this is added should also be compatible with upstream/master.

The entire thing is written in Rust, I used tonic for gRPC communication, iced for the UI, fluent for translations.
