Working web server that allows:
- CGI access
- authentication and authorization (strongly recommended)
- SSH access to a UNIX-like shell environment with
/bin/shand common utilities
NB: Web server configuration is complex and not described in this project. However, information regarding recommended settings that may be applicable is included in the related seedhost-apache repository.
git clone https://github.com/therealchjones/plex-admininto a temporary directory of your choice- Enable the web server authorization and authentication method of your choice
- Protect the path api/index.cgi via authentication and/or authorization on the server
- Configure the web server to run api/index.cgi as a CGI script rather than to serve the file contents
- Choose a directory not accessible to any web server visitors but accessible to api/index.cgi that will house admin-secrets.sh
- Edit variables in admin-secrets.sh and deploy.sh as needed
- Run deploy.sh to move files to the server
git clone https://github.com/therealchjones/plex-admininto a development directory of your choice- Configure web server as desired
- Copy admin-secrets.sh to admin-secrets_local.sh and deploy.sh to deploy_local.sh
- Edit variables in admin-secrets_local.sh and deploy_local.sh as needed
- Run deploy_local.sh to move files to the server
- Add appropriate Node.js modules (
npm install) and VS Code extensions as desired - Edit source files in the
plex-admin/directory hierarchy as desired - Repeat steps 5-6 as desired
- Submit pull request as desired
- Comments are important and plentiful. Read them. Write more.
- Neither Node.js/npm nor Visual Studio Code and its recommended extensions are required for development. However, using them can improve code quality and style standardization for this project. Configuration files are included.
