The ishare2 GUI is currently under development and may not be stable yet. It has only been tested on PNetLab, but it may be adaptable to work on other network emulators.

The ishare2 GUI is designed to make it easy for you to manage your network emulation environment by providing a simple, intuitive interface. You can use the "Manage" dropdown in the navbar to access different management options, such as managing your bin images, QEMU images, Dynamips images, or Docker images. Additionally, the "Download" option in the sub-menu gives you access to the different image types that you can download.

The ishare2 GUI has a clear and modern look and feel, with a logo and favicon representing the tool, and a user-friendly interface that makes it easy to navigate. You can find more information about the project on the ishare2-GUI GitHub page, or reach out to the support team on Telegram.

So if you're looking for a tool that can help you manage and download the images you need for your network emulation environment, consider checking out ishare2 GUI!
