Script-server is a Web UI for scripts.

As an administrator, you add your existing scripts into Script server and other users would be able to execute them via a web interface.The UI is very straightforward and can be used by non-tech people.

No script modifications are needed - you configure each script in Script server and it creates the corresponding UI with parameters and takes care of validation, execution, etc.

• Formatted output support (colors, styles, cursor positioning, clearing)

Python 3.7 or higher with the following modules:

• Tornado 5 / 6

Some features can require additional modules. Such requirements are specified in a corresponding feature description.

OS support:

• Linux (main). Tested and working on Debian 10,11
• Windows (additional). Light testing
• macOS (additional). Light testing

Any more or less up to date browser with enabled JS

Internet connection isnot needed. All the files are loaded from the server.

1. Download script-server.zip file fromLatest release orDev release
2. Create script-server folder anywhere on your PC and extract zip content to this folder

(For detailed steps on linux with virtualenv, please seeInstallation guide)

Please find pre-built images here:https://hub.docker.com/r/bugy/script-server/tags
For the usage please checkthis ticket

1. Clone/download the repository
2. Run 'tools/init.py --no-npm' script

init.py script should be run after pulling any new changes

If you are making changes to web files, usenpm run build ornpm run serve

SeeA issue running on OpenBSD and maybe other UNIX systems.

1. Create configurations for your scripts inconf/runners/ folder (seescript config page for details)
2. Launch launcher.py from script-server folder

• Windows command: launcher.py
• Linux command: ./launcher.py

3. Add/edit scripts on the admin page

By default, the server will run onhttp://localhost:5000

All the features listed above and some other minor features can be configured inconf/conf.json file.It is allowed not to create this file. In this case, default values will be used.Seeserver config page for details

Admin panel is accessible on admin.html page (e.g.http://localhost:5000/admin.html)

All web/operating logs are written to thelogs/server.logAdditionally each script logs are written to separate file inlogs/processes. File name format is{script_name}_{client_address}_{date}_{time}.log.

Script-server has bundled configs/scripts for testing/demo purposes, which are located in samples folder. You canlink/copy these config files (samples/configs/*.json) to server config folder (conf/runners).

I do my best to make script-server secure and invulnerable to attacks, injections or user data security. However to beon the safe side, it's better to run Script server only on a trusted network.
Any security leaks report or recommendations are greatly appreciated!

Script server guarantees that all user parameters are passed to an executable script as arguments and won't be executedunder any conditions. There is no way to inject fraud command from a client-side. However, user parameters are notescaped, so scripts should take care of not executing them also (general recommendation for bash is at least to wrap allarguments in double-quotes). It's recommended to use typed parameters when appropriate, because they are validated forproper values and so they are harder to be subject of commands injection. Such attempts would be easier to detect also.

Important! Command injection protection is fully supported for Linux, butonly for .bat and .exe files on Windows

(v1.0 - v1.16)
Script serveris vulnerable to these attacks.

(v1.17+)
Script server is protected against XSRF attacks via a special token.
XSS protection: the code is written according toOWASP Cheat Sheetand the onlyknown vulnerabilities are:

• output_format=html_iframe, see the reasoning in thelinked Wiki page

If you like the project and think you could help with making it better, there are many ways you can do it:

• Create a new issue for new feature proposal or a bug
• Implement existing issues (there are quite some of them: frontend/backend, simple/complex, choose whatever you like)
• Help with improving the documentation
• Set up a demo server
• Spread a word about the project to your colleagues, friends, blogs or any other channels
• Any other things you could imagine

Any contribution would be of great help and I will highly appreciate it!If you have any questions, please create a new issue, or contact me viabuggygm@gmail.com
