HTTP script runner

This tool helps you run a tiny HTTP(S) server that will run a given script whenever called properly.

Installation

Make sure you have go installed on your server, then as root run

mkdir /opt/http-script-runner
git clone https://github.com/leikir/http-script-runner.git /opt/http-script-runner
cd /opt/http-script-runner
go build http-script-runner.go
mv /opt/http-script-runner/http-script-runner /usr/bin/

Setup

You need:

• a SSL certificate
• a script to run

Run

Supposing you have an SSL certificate available inside /etc/ssl/cert, and your script is something like /usr/bin/docker-upgrade then as root run

http-script-runner -cert=/etc/ssl/cert/fullchain.pem -key=/etc/ssl/cert/privkey.pem -script=/usr/bin/docker-upgrade

Bonus: alternative compilation method

If you want to deploy this binary on a Debian-based system you can run this locally then scp the resulting binary file to your server:

docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd):/opt/http-script-runner golang:1.11.0-stretch go build -o /opt/http-script-runner/http-script-runner /opt/http-script-runner/http-script-runner.go
