simple daemon to execute preconfigured commands over http

Example configuration, instructd.yaml

http_addr: 0.0.0.0:8945
auth:
  foobar:
    secret_key: asdf

verbose: false
commands:
- id: hostname
    cmd:
    - "hostname"
    - "-f"

- id: desktop.lock
    shell: |
    xdotool key "Control_L+Alt_L+l"

Run instructd

 instructd -config ./examples/instructd.yaml

Interact

 TOKEN="$(./examples/jwt foobar asdf )"

 curl -H "Authorization: bearer $TOKEN" -s -d '{"id": "hostname"}' http://localhost:8944/ | jq .

GET method is also supported (but not all params)

 curl "http://localhost:8945/?token=$TOKEN&id=hostname"

JWT Authentication

a JWT is required to access the API. In this example, the access key is foobar and the secret key is asdf

See examples/jwt for generating a JWT token in pure bash (It would be preferred to use a better library)
