go-web-dashboard
A simple dashboard control system.
What?
Simply run this somewhere, visit the URL it runs on from a device, name the device, then you can control the page shown on the device from elsewhere.
The idea is mostly to make old tablets display some webpages easily. Use that as a display around the house. This could work for displays in an office, but the code isn't really hardened for such uses.
Security
This does no auth -- wrap the service in something that does like one of the many oauth proxies. Or run on a private network.
There's no XSRF protection, see note under "What?".
Some pages can't be embedded because they set X-Frame-Options. You can proxy
them to remove that (todo: some way of doing this automatically, e.g. proxy with
go proxy tools, inject <base> maybe...).
Full usage
go run github.com/dgl/go-web-dashboard/cmd/go-web-dashboard
Then visit http://localhost:4000/show
Type in a name.
In a different tab visit http://localhost:4000/, hit send, put in URL.
That's it.
How do I...
...refresh the page regularly?
Just put something like curl http://localhost:4000/send?name=...&url=... in cron.
todo: just do this in the JS code...
