Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of virtual machine IP configuration, and in particular to an IP configuration method, system, device, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] A virtual machine (VM) is a computer system simulated by software, possessing complete hardware system functionality. Virtual hosting, also called web hosting, refers to a portion of disk space allocated on a web server. Users can rent this space to host their websites and application components, providing necessary data storage and transmission functions. Each virtual host has its own independent domain name and IP address (or a shared IP address), possessing complete Internet server functionality. On the same hardware and operating system, different server programs run for multiple users, operating independently; each user has its own portion of system resources (IP address, file storage space, memory, CPU time, etc.). Virtual hosts are completely independent; from the outside, each virtual host behaves exactly like a dedicated physical host.

[0003] When users install virtual hosting products on their computers, they typically need to configure the virtual host's IP address and then access the virtual host products via that IP. Traditionally, users configure this through a terminal interface following the installation manual. However, when the network environment changes, users need to reconfigure the IP address according to the manual, which is complex and inefficient.

[0004] In existing technologies, communication is achieved by connecting to the serial port of the virtual host via a command pipe to automatically obtain the configuration IP. However, configuring the IP in this way may result in duplicate pipe names, and the serial port may not be open or may be occupied by other programs, causing connection failures and reducing the efficiency of virtual machine IP configuration.

[0005] Currently, no effective solution has been proposed to address the issue of low efficiency in virtual machine IP configuration in related technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This application provides an IP configuration method, system, device, and storage medium to at least address the problem of low efficiency in virtual machine IP configuration in related technologies.

[0007] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide an IP configuration method, characterized in that it includes:

[0008] The system acquires a configuration module, a tray module, and a communication module between the virtual host and the pipeline. The configuration module is used to receive configuration instructions, the tray module is used to control the opening or closing of the configuration module, and the communication module is used to send communication requests to the virtual host through the pipeline.

[0009] The configuration module, the tray module, and the communication module are packaged into an executable program and sent to the client.

[0010] The client launches the executable program to obtain and configure the IP address of the virtual host.

[0011] In some embodiments, the configuration instructions include instructions to obtain an IP address, instructions to configure an IP type, and instructions to configure a gateway.

[0012] In some embodiments, the tray module runs in the background of the runnable program and is hidden in the taskbar of the client operating system.

[0013] In some embodiments, before the communication module sends a communication request to the virtual host through the pipe, the method further includes:

[0014] The pipes are named, and their names are changed periodically.

[0015] The communication module connects to the pipe with the corresponding name and communicates with the virtual host through the pipe.

[0016] In some embodiments, the communication module sending a communication request to the virtual host through the pipe includes:

[0017] In the event of an abnormal connection between the communication module and the virtual host, the communication module is triggered to periodically send communication requests to the virtual host through the pipeline.

[0018] In some embodiments, the communication module sending a communication request to the virtual host through the pipe further includes:

[0019] When the communication module successfully connects to the virtual host, the configuration command is simulated and the simulated configuration command is input.

[0020] Log in to the client, enter the virtual host password, and if the password is correct, run the executable program.

[0021] In some embodiments, after the client closes the runnable program, the method includes:

[0022] The communication module exits the simulation environment and exits the pipeline.

[0023] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide an IP configuration system, characterized in that it includes:

[0024] The configuration module is used to receive configuration commands;

[0025] The tray module is used to control the opening or closing of the configuration module;

[0026] The communication module is used to send communication requests to the virtual host through a pipe;

[0027] A client is used to launch the executable program to obtain and configure the IP address of the virtual host, wherein the executable program is packaged from the configuration module, the tray module, and the communication module.

[0028] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide a computer device, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, characterized in that the processor executes the computer program to implement the steps of the IP configuration method as described in any one of the first aspects above.

[0029] Fourthly, embodiments of this application provide a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, characterized in that, when executed by a processor, the program implements the steps of the IP configuration method as described in any one of the first aspects above.

[0030] Compared to related technologies, the IP configuration method, system, device, and storage medium provided in this application package a configuration module, a tray module, and a communication module into an executable program and send it to the client. The configuration module is used to receive configuration instructions, the tray module is used to control the opening or closing of the configuration module, and the communication module is used to send communication requests to the virtual host through a pipe. The client starts the executable program to obtain and configure the virtual host's IP address, ensuring that the pipe is not occupied by other programs.

The term “multiple” used in this application refers to two or more.

[0043] The method embodiments provided in this example can be executed on a terminal, computer, or similar computing device. For example, it can run on a terminal. Figure 1 This is a hardware structure block diagram of the terminal for the IP configuration method in this embodiment. For example... Figure 1 As shown, a terminal may include one or more ( Figure 1 Only one is shown in the diagram. A processor 102 and a memory 104 for storing data are also included. The processor 102 may be, but is not limited to, a microprocessor (MCU) or a programmable logic device (FPGA). The terminal may also include a transmission device 106 for communication functions and an input / output device 108.

For example, the terminal may also include components that are larger than... Figure 1 The more or fewer components shown, or having the same Figure 1 The different configurations shown are illustrated.

[0044] The memory 104 can be used to store computer programs, such as application software programs and modules, like the computer program corresponding to the IP configuration method in this embodiment. The processor 102 executes various functional applications and data processing by running the computer programs stored in the memory 104, thereby implementing the above-described method.

In another example, the transmission device 106 can be a Radio Frequency (RF) module used for wireless communication with the Internet.

[0046] Virtual hosting, also known as shared hosting or virtual servers, is a technology that enables multi-domain services on a single host or a group of hosts. Serial communication refers to a communication method where peripherals and computers transmit data bit by bit via data signal lines, ground lines, and control lines. Compared to other communication methods, serial communication uses fewer data lines, saving communication costs in long-distance communication, but its transmission speed is lower than parallel transmission. Named pipes are a first-in, first-out (FIFO) communication mechanism between computer processes, an extension of traditional pipes. Traditional pipes are anonymous pipes, whose lifetime does not exceed the lifetime of the process that created the pipe, but the lifetime of named pipes can be as long as the operating system's runtime.

[0047] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating the IP configuration method in existing technologies. Figure 2 As is known in existing technologies, serial communication within a virtual machine is typically used. After configuring the serial port name in the virtual host, direct communication is established via a pipe. The program listens for HTTP (Hypertext Transfer) events in the background and obtains the current host IP address through the HTTP interface. While this method can automatically obtain the virtual host IP address, using pre-defined pipe names may lead to pipe duplication issues, and the serial port may be connected to by other programs, causing communication errors and reducing IP configuration efficiency.

[0048] This application provides an IP configuration method. Figure 3 This is a flowchart of the IP configuration method in this embodiment, as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0049] Step S301: Obtain the configuration module, the tray module, and the communication module between the virtual host and the pipe. The configuration module is used to receive configuration instructions, the tray module is used to control the opening or closing of the configuration module, and the communication module is used to send communication requests to the virtual host through the pipe.

[0050] The configuration module includes an interactive interface developed using a front-end framework. Through this interface, users interact with the configuration commands, enabling the visual acquisition and setting of IP-related configurations. The tray module includes a system tray program. The system tray is a special area, typically located at the bottom of the desktop, allowing users to access running programs at any time. In this embodiment, the system tray program is developed using the lightweight Golang language and open-source libraries. Golang is a statically typed, compiled, concurrent programming language with garbage collection. Golang ensures both the security and performance of statically compiled languages ​​and the high efficiency of dynamic language development and maintenance. The tray module has basic functions such as opening the virtual machine, opening the configuration module, and exiting the configuration module. The communication module is the core module for communicating with the virtual host and quickly configuring IPs. After the program starts, the configuration module periodically sends communication requests to the virtual host via a pipe. After a successful communication connection, it simulates shell commands for client login. A shell is a shell-command-line interface, a traditional user-computer interaction interface that allows users to directly input commands to execute various types of tasks. When the program exits, the communication module exits the shell environment and then exits the pipe to prevent other programs from connecting to the pipe and entering the shell environment without a password, thus compromising system security.

[0051] Step S302: Package the configuration module, tray module, and communication module into an executable program and send it to the client.

[0052] After acquiring the configuration module, tray module, and communication module, the configuration module, tray module, and communication module are packaged into an executable program and sent to the virtual host. The virtual host files are also packaged and distributed through CD-ROM products or other means for user use.

[0053] Step S303: Start the executable program via the client to obtain and configure the IP address of the virtual host.

[0054] After receiving the relevant products, the client starts the executable program, opens the virtual machine and configuration interface through the tray module, enters relevant configuration commands through the configuration module, and conducts pipeline communication through the communication module to obtain and configure the virtual host's IP.

[0055] Steps S301 to S303 above involve packaging the configuration module, tray module, and communication module into an executable program and sending it to the client. The configuration module receives configuration instructions, the tray module controls the opening and closing of the configuration module, and the communication module sends communication requests to the virtual host through a pipe. The client starts the executable program to obtain and configure the virtual host's IP address, ensuring that the pipe is not occupied by other programs. By using the executable program to communicate with the virtual machine through the pipe to automatically obtain and configure the IP address, the problem of low efficiency in virtual machine IP configuration in related technologies is solved, and the efficiency of automatic virtual machine IP configuration is improved.

[0056] In some embodiments, the configuration instructions include instructions to obtain an IP address, instructions to configure an IP type, and instructions to configure a gateway.

[0057] After the program enters the shell environment, it needs to use relevant configuration commands to complete the relevant predefined IP configuration commands. The IP configuration commands include command types such as obtaining IP, configuring IP type, and configuring gateway. The IP functions implemented by the corresponding configuration commands are exposed to the front-end configuration page through HTTP interface and complete the interaction with the user.

[0058] In some embodiments, the tray module runs in the background of the runnable program and is hidden in the taskbar of the client operating system.

[0059] The tray module runs in the background of the executable program and does not occupy a large amount of space. It is hidden in the operating system's taskbar and can be quickly opened or closed when in use, enabling quick access to the configuration module.

[0060] In some embodiments, before the communication module sends a communication request to the virtual host through the pipe, the method further includes: naming the pipe and periodically modifying the pipe name; the communication module connecting to the pipe with the corresponding name and communicating with the virtual host through the pipe.

[0061] Before the communication module communicates with the virtual host via a pipe, using pre-defined pipe names without naming the pipes can lead to duplicate names and communication errors. Therefore, the serial port needs to be configured and the pipe name named before the communication module sends a communication request to the virtual host. Furthermore, this application periodically modifies the virtual host's pipe name in the background to prevent duplicate names and ensure normal communication between the communication module and the virtual host. After naming, the communication module connects to the pipe with the corresponding name and communicates with the virtual host through that pipe.

[0062] In some embodiments, the communication module sending communication requests to the virtual host through the pipe includes: triggering the communication module to periodically send communication requests to the virtual host through the pipe when the connection between the communication module and the virtual host is abnormal.

[0063] After the packaged executable program starts, the communication module begins to send communication requests to the pipeline. In the event of an abnormal situation such as a disconnection between the communication module and the pipeline, the communication module will trigger a timed request to request communication with the pipeline, continuously connecting to the pipeline at certain time intervals until the connection is successful or the program stops, ensuring that the connection can be quickly restored and reconnected in the event of an unexpected disconnection.

[0064] In some embodiments, the communication module sending a communication request to the virtual host via a pipe further includes: simulating configuration instructions and inputting the simulated configuration instructions when the communication module successfully connects to the virtual host; logging into the client, entering the virtual host password, and running an executable program if the password is correct.

[0065] After the communication module successfully connects to the virtual host, it simulates shell configuration commands and logs in to the client using the virtual host password configured in the implementation. In case of login errors such as incorrect passwords, it provides the user with relevant error messages. It also includes an automatic logout timeout function; if the login fails after an excessively long time, the user is automatically logged out.

[0066] In some embodiments, the communication module exits the simulation environment and exits the pipeline after the client closes the runnable program.

[0067] Each time the background program exits, the program must strictly execute the current user's exit command. The communication module will automatically exit the shell simulation environment and then exit the pipe to prevent the pipe from being occupied by other programs when the program exits, which would allow other programs to enter the shell environment without a password and cause problems.

[0068] Figure 4This is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of the IP configuration method of this application, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, the IP configuration HTML interface serves as the configuration module, developed using a modern front-end framework with good interactive effects. HTML, or Hypertext Markup Language, is a standard markup language used to create web pages. As a fundamental technology, it is commonly used by websites to design user interfaces for web pages, web applications, and mobile applications. Web browsers can read HTML files and render them into visual web pages. The Windows (Microsoft Windows) system tray program serves as the tray module, developed using the lightweight Golang language and open-source libraries. It has basic functions such as opening the virtual machine, opening the configuration webpage, and exiting. The pipe communication logic serves as the communication module; after connecting to the shell, it can automatically log in, obtain, and configure the IP address. The configuration module, tray module, and communication module are packaged into an executable (.exe) program, along with a virtual host file, for distribution as a CD-ROM product. In actual use, the serial port is pre-configured, and the pipe (\\.\pipe) is named to obtain and configure the virtual host's IP address.

[0069] The tray module is used for background program execution, occupying minimal space and being easy to develop. Hidden within the operating system's task manager, it allows for quick opening and closing of the IP configuration page. The communication module is the core of the system, responsible for communication with the virtual host and quick IP configuration. After program startup, this module periodically requests pipe communication, triggering these requests in case of connection drops or other anomalies. Upon successful connection, it simulates shell commands for terminal login. In case of login errors, such as incorrect passwords, it provides relevant prompts and notifies the user to contact relevant personnel for assistance. When the program exits, the communication module proactively exits the shell environment and then the pipe to prevent unauthorized connections and ensures access to the shell environment without a password. The configuration module includes backend IP configuration commands and a frontend interactive interface. Once in the shell environment, it uses relevant configuration commands to complete predefined IP configuration tasks, including obtaining IP addresses, configuring IP types, configuring static IPs, and configuring gateways. These commands are exposed to the frontend via HTTP interfaces, allowing for the visual acquisition and setting of IP-related configurations.
