# piper

piper is a small library to aide in running a process locally, but actually run it remotely over a WebSocket connection.

Here is an example of its usage in a tool used on Gondor:

package main

import (
"flag"
"fmt"
"log"
"net/http"
"os"
"os/exec"
"strings"

"github.com/eldarion-gondor/piper"
"github.com/gorilla/websocket"
)

var secret = flag.String("secret", "", "")
var buildSHA string

var upgrader = websocket.Upgrader{
ReadBufferSize: 8192,
WriteBufferSize: 8192,
}

func main() {
flag.Parse()
if len(flag.Args()) == 0 {
fmt.Println("no program to exec")
os.Exit(1)
}
done := make(chan bool)
http.HandleFunc("/ok", func(rw http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
rw.WriteHeader(http.StatusOK)
})
http.HandleFunc("/", func(rw http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
defer func() { done <- true }()
log.Println("connection recieved")
ws, err := upgrader.Upgrade(rw, req, nil)
if err != nil {
log.Printf("upgrade error: %s", err)
return
}
log.Println("upgraded to websockets; ready to pipe")
pipe, err := piper.NewServerPipe(req, ws)
if err != nil {
log.Printf("pipe error: %s", err)
ws.Close()
return
}
log.Printf("exec: %s", strings.Join(flag.Args(), " "))
cmd := exec.Command(flag.Arg(0), flag.Args()[1:]...)
if err := pipe.RunCmd(cmd); err != nil {
log.Printf("exec error: %s", err)
pipe.Close("error")
return
}
})
go func() {
if err := http.ListenAndServe(":8000", nil); err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
os.Exit(1)
}
}()
<-done
}

This program will start an HTTP server and expose a process via a WebSocket connection.
