Discuss Admin page

[rgaudin]

We have various admin features:

• ZIM management
• HW Clock management
• Edupi file management

All those are available via URLs that are not exposed. We should consider adding a single admin page giving access to all this with explanations.

We should use this opportunity to discuss displaying additional information like available free space on the SD card.
This information used to be visible in the advanced option of the Edupi admin… was probably never found and it did not matter much.

But with tools like file-manager and the zim-manager, it makes sense to display it under certain circumstances.

• soon we will have the "metrics" application

[rgaudin]

Metrics targets admins are it's a hotspot management tool but (at least for now) it is read-only and not actionnable ; meaning anyone could access it without harm to the setup.
For now it's not protected (password)

[Popolechien]

Well the base assumption should be that power-users / admins are people that did not always participcate in the hotspot's creation and have to figure things out on the fly. With this in mind I'd suggest a fairly easy way to locate these extra functionalities (e.g. either a card, along with other regular content cards, or a push button in the footer).

If the question is do we need an admin page, the answer is "yes", even minimal.
