Dynamic Command WebServer (dycow)

A tiny web-server app with a configuration file, NO NEED TO CODE

Introduction

This project is a small webserver that just have to get a port and a configuration file to perform preconfigurated commands.

Disclaimer

This was a test-research project for a specific user-case on my raspberry-pi, therefore, i configurated only two methods (GET and POST)

Why use dycow

• It's fast
• Simple to configure, you just have to create a conf file to be ready to start
• It's lightweight (The wheel is ~5Kb)

Requirements

• Python (3.x recommend)

How to install

You just have to run :

pip install dycow

How to use

$ dw -h

[-] dycow v0.0.9.7.
[-] Help center !
[x] Run : dw <port> <conf-file> 
[x] Documentation online https://github.com/sanix-darker/dycow

You have to create a file, for example conf and set actions, for example :

- GET(or - POST) is the type of the request, just after it the endPoint (/save, /callme?name&content).
cmd is the command line that will be executed on a request.
res[NOT REQUIRED] is the response to the request.
var is to specify POST variables. \

Variables like #content# means, the content variable will be replace with the input value as parameter.

• Then run the server application:

# dw <port> <configuration-file>
dw 3000 conf

It will start a small server on port 3000 and following rules you specified in the configuration file.
