Unreal Frontend: Documentation on Device Manager lacking

General Feedback & Requests

Hey guys,

I’d like to know what the current capabilities of the Unreal Frontend are regarding Linux Devices. I’ve already posted my question on the answerhub but sadly haven’t received a response (Add remote Linux server to Frontend's Device Manager - Platform & Builds - Epic Developer Community Forums)

The input fields for new devices are fairly self-explanatory, e.g.:

1290×730 68.9 KB

I have a Linux server outside my LAN that can be accessed via SSH on a custom port and would like to use it as deployment target (dedicated server).

My questions are:

  1. Is that currently possible?
  2. Which device management functions are currently available for Linux devices?
  3. Are there any prerequisites for Linux devices such as agents?
  4. Can you cover the profile and test aspect of the Unreal Frontend more?

Hi megamorf,

I’ve entered an official request, JIRA [UEDOC-1993], for the topics you’ve listed above to be covered in future documentation. As progress is made on this request, I will update this thread. Thanks for the feedback!
