pip3 install webcon

Usage
usage: webcon [-h] [--host HOST] [-p PORT] [config_file]

Control your computer through shell commands from a barebones web interface.

Configuration goes in ~/.config/webcon/config.yaml, or an alternate location
may be provided by command line argument.

Configuration format:

- Throughout the configuration, order of each mapping is taken into account to
ensure the layout does not deviate from expectations.
- The top level of the configuration is a mapping.
- Variables in the top-level key `__variables__` will be substituted once via
`str.format` throughout the entire file. This may be used to extract long
constants, etc.
- Every other top-level key will define a service, and its value shall be a
mapping of the actions it supports.
- Each action shall define a label/command pair, in the the form of
`label: command`.

Example configuration:

__variables__:
mpvfifo: ~/.local/share/mpv/fifo
mpv:
rewind: echo seek -5 > {mpvfifo}
play/pause: echo cycle pause > {mpvfifo}
fast forward: echo seek 5 > {mpvfifo}
announcer:
greet: say hello
part: say farewell

Explanation:

- Define `mpvfifo` as a variable holding the location of a mpv fifo.
- Define a service `mpv`.
- This service exports the actions `rewind`, `play/pause`, and
`fast forward`. The actions are different echoes to `mpvffo`.
- Define a service `announcer`.
- This service exports the actions `greet` and `part`. The actions are
different phrases which will be synthesized through `say`.

positional arguments:
config_file The config file to use. Default:
/Users/echan/.config/webcon/config.yaml

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--host HOST The server host. Default: 0.0.0.0
