run as system service #10

Closed mgmax closed 9 years ago

mgmax commented 9 years ago

VisiCam should run as a background service because people like to close the "unnecessary" window.

mostly a reminder for myself.

make it work without GUI (or workaround with Xvfb?)
output to stdout (then to log via start-stop-daemon)
write initscript for debian and upstart-config for ubuntu
any network user can currently execute arbitrary commands via the "capture command" setting. lock this somehow.

t-oster commented 9 years ago

I would suggest providing additional upstart/init.d/systemd scripts for making the background-thing. I just created a GUI, so it is a "one-click-solution". Maybe just a command line switch "--nogui"? Or use a system-tray icon?

I would also restrict the config-page to localhost.

I recently wrote a working init-script for debian using the "--nogui switch": fa3b8526659aa8e76e0c0873dbedb779bdf60038 @mgmax It is already deployed on the ws01

restricting the settings is possible with 5758228c7bf598e367f4d60c1055088805ecc85a, I will test it in reality soon.
