Mozeidon native-app

The mozeidon native-app, a very simple ipc server written in go, will allow the mozeidon firefox-addon to receive commands from and send responses to the mozeidon CLI (for installing the CLI, see mozeidon).

Installation

On MacOS or Linux, you can install it using homebrew :

brew tap egovelox/homebrew-mozeidon ;

brew install egovelox/mozeidon/mozeidon-native-app ;

Otherwise, you may download the binary from the release page.

If no release matches your platform, you can build the binary yourself:

git clone https://github.com/egovelox/mozeidon-native-app.git ;

cd mozeidon-native-app && go build

As a firefox native-app, it has to be referenced into your Firefox configuration.

Referencing the native-app into your Firefox configuration

On MacOS, first locate the ~/Library/Application Support/Mozilla/NativeMessagingHosts directory (or create it if missing).

Then create a mozeidon.json file, and copy into it the following json.

Note: depending on your installation, you may need to replace the value in "path" with the absolute path of the mozeidon-native-app.

{
  "name": "mozeidon",
  "description": "Native messaging add-on to interact with your browser",
  "path": "/opt/homebrew/bin/mozeidon-native-app",
  "type": "stdio",
  "allowed_extensions": [
    "mozeidon-addon@egovelox.com"
  ]
}

Now the Mozeidon firefox-addon will be able to interact with the Mozeidon native-app.

Note : For other OS than MacOS, please check the Mozilla documentation to find the correct location of the Firefox NativeMessagingHosts directory.

At last, you should be able to use the Mozeidon CLI or the Raycast extension.

Releases

Various releases of the Mozeidon native-app can be found on the releases page.
