Dynamic and Automatic Notes #9

Open cmeinco opened 3 years ago

cmeinco commented 3 years ago

Summary I would like a special note that executes a local server command and updates itself. So for instance it can read a file, such as /opt/notedo/notedo.log and update itself every 5 minutes or on some frequency (startup, cron, etc).

Intended Outcome have an easy way to access notes/logs/etc on the server where notedo is running. Like administrative notes.

How will it work? Perfectly.

Thoughts on these alternatives?

  1. Creating a CLI command to update a note (ie: notedo update note 123 -f /opt/notedo/notedo.log)
  2. Publishing the API docs so can update via curl
  3. Setup the command to run via the CLI (not web-interface) and perhaps control its frequency via the web interface? (e.g. notedo config cmd-runner log-pull <cmd> and then via the web interface configure via schedule?)

My thoughts are: If a remote request can create commands to be ran on the server that could be exploited for badness, especially in the future for multi-tenancy. I suppose too if in the multi-tenancy world the hosted server is not running the commands, but instead the local notedo binary, perhaps that would be OK

i'm thinking this feature would be more about the source of the content. If the note itself wasn't the source of truth, but it was a db or a remote site or... a file. would need a way for the system to poll these sources and keep the displayed/stored content up to date. I think api access/etc might be more meaningful for elnook/notedo#6 to make access to content simpler.
