Spice Bind - Help Bubble - Add more information

Problem/Justification
The help bubble for the Spice Bind option is almost pointless.

You need to add what to use the various generic IPs are for and when they should be used.

  • 0.0.0.0
  • ::
  • 127.0.0.1
  • 10.0.0.33 (This is my server’s IP)
  • ::1

Impact
I don’t know which one to choose. They all seem the same.

User Story
n/a

P.S.

In then meantime if anyone knows the answer, can you post the info here :slight_smile:

thanks

Moved to General category.
This should be submitted as Feedback in the GUI using the smile icon for Feedback / Report a Bug.

I think you are just showing IP4 & IP6 local or loopback addresses in your example.

This getting confusing, this is a feature request. How do you translate that in to feedback.

Feature request are to be added in the feature category.

Your post reads like you want an updated tool tip / help bubble. Simple items like that are for feedback.

Try viewing the Feature Request category and look at the top voted, open items (no padlock). Those are usually good examples of FRs. Forum members have committed their limited votes to those issues. TrueNAS staff is using the voting system to triage the items. Items with no or low votes, usually get closed.

TrueNAS as a company puts priority on Enterprise customer requests as that is where the money comes in to pay for staff, etc. Community Edition items are lower and they have to decide if the FR is worth the development time or if it benefits Enterprise.

You should be able to filter out the closed items but I just left it a simple link

I ran out of votes 12 months ago. The voting system does not work.

You can bring up the FR category and view items you have your votes tied to. Adjust your votes to what you think are the top FRs. You can unvote an issue. I think they will start back with a quarterly review of the issues and accepting or closing issues to free up votes next year. They have been pretty busy with all the CVEs and the changes to a yearly release model.

But I have posted more feature than I have votes. I did propose a new voting system that would fix this.

Limited votes is an intentional design. The pinned items in the FR category could explain a bit on how they are using it.

Still the system sucks and does not work.

The community hates it. So to keep thinking it is the best thing since sliced bread is not a sensible position.

Remember when windows 8 removed the start menu because they thought it was brilliant and did not listen to their audience, everyone hated the OS.

I understand enterprise makes TrueNAS the money but the community tests the platform, makes suggestions and recommends fixes so please don’t class it as a second class of user, we are a different part of the machine and just as valuable.

You are just trying to get in the last word and have steered this of your original topic. I am locking this thread.
