Dev wants to contribute

Hello,

I just discovered GLPI last week and still setting it up for my company. We currently use Zabbix for SNMP device monitoring. We also use meshcentral for remote access and the current integration is disappointing.

I have tried adding proper meshcentral support for the remote management section:

Agent: github.com/rallisf1/glpi-agent/tree/fix-meshcentral
Server: github.com/rallisf1/glpi/tree/fix-meshcentral

But I am not sure about:

1) how to compile the agent to test it out, I haven't used Perl aside from scripting found it glpi-agent.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation/index.html#from-sources
2) If the migration changes I did are correct. I tried to follow the documentation ( glpi-developer-documentation.readthedocs.io/en/master/checklists/preparenextmajor.html?highlight=migration#prepare-next-major-release ) but it seems outdated as most of those files are missing.

About my fix

1. Adds a remoteurl field in glpi_items_remotemanagements table as self-hosted remote management software have different urls for each server instance. This paves the way for more remote management software to be added like rustdesk, guacamole etc.

2. Displays meshcentral IDs as links in the remote management list.

3. The agent now supports multiple and custom branded meshcentral agents

4. The agent now sends the meshcentral server url by parsing the configuration file

P.S. If there's some other form of communication for developers (e.g. discord server) I'd happily join.

Did you check their Telegram? I remember last time I was there it was pretty active.

Just joined but not sure I'll find any devs there. Anyway, I didn't make much progress with the agent.

I'm having trouble testing my glpi-agent fork. it compiles but produces errors when running tasks.

[error] [http client] communication error: 400 Bad Request
[info] Collect task not supported by server0
[error] Can't load GLPI Protocol Inventory library
[error] fork failed: No such file or directory
[error] fork failed: 

it's 100% problem with my perl environment as I also had trouble installing the dependencies. perhaps there's a docker image or nix config someone can share?

There are a few of the developers on the unofficial GLPI Community Discord.
Here is an invite link for it. It expires after 1 week, but there is a post on the forum here somewhere that may have a permanent link.
