Copy spaceapi json to frontpage server #18

Closed mtfurlan closed 6 years ago

mtfurlan commented 6 years ago

Need to make an account on the i3 server and figure out how to make that account only able to do the one thing.

curl http://10.13.0.22:8123/api/spaceapi | ssh i3 "cat - > /var/www/spaceapi.json"

easiest way is probably to create the "do one thing" as a script, then make that script the defined shell of the user.

Just for curiosity, why does this need a separate user instead of a cron job? And is this sshing to itself?
