netui-gtk

A lightweight, Python-based graphical user interface for managing network interfaces on Linux systems using GTK+ 3.

⚠️ Work in Progress: This project is currently under active development. Features may change or be unstable.

Features

• Interface Management: View status, MAC, and IP addresses. Toggle interfaces UP/DOWN.
• DHCP & Static IP: Easily switch between DHCP and manual configuration (IP, Subnet, Gateway).
• DNS Configuration: Set primary and secondary DNS servers.
• Auto-Sudo: Automatically requests privileges when needed.

Requirements

• Linux with Python 3.x
• GTK+ 3.0 & PyGObject (python3-gi)
• iproute2

Installation

Run from Source

git clone https://github.com/samyabdellatif/netui-gtk
cd netui-gtk

# Install dependencies (Debian/Ubuntu example)
sudo apt install python3-gi python3-gi-cairo gir1.2-gtk-3.0 iproute2

# Run
python3 -m netui-gtk

Method 2: Build Standalone Binary (Universal)

Create a single executable file that runs on most Linux distributions (Fedora, Arch, etc.) without requiring Python installation.

1. Install PyInstaller:

   pip3 install pyinstaller

2. Build the binary:

   chmod +x netui-gtk/build.sh
   ./netui-gtk/build.sh

   The executable will be located in netui-gtk/dist/netui-gtk.

Method 3: Build Debian Package (.deb)

For native installation on Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and Kali Linux.

1. Run the build script:

   chmod +x netui-gtk/build_deb.sh
   ./netui-gtk/build_deb.sh

2. Install the package:

   sudo apt install ./netui-gtk/dist/netui-gtk_*.deb
