Swerver

Swerver is a basic server management utility that provides a web interface for managing a server on a LAN. I use it to manage my Raspberry Pi.

Features:

• Run scripts with terminal output for the command
• Monitor, start, and stop services
• System information including memory usage, uptime, and average load
• Interactive config generation for rapid setup/deployment

Do not use swerver outside of a LAN protected by a secure firewall. Swerver provides only HTTP Basic authentication via browser prompt. This is insecure and should not be used in a public setting.

Installation and Configuration

$ git clone https://github.com/destinmoulton/swerver.git
$ cd swerver
$ go get github.com/gin-gonic/gin
$ go get github.com/gin-contrib/sessions

Configuration

The configuration file is stored in ~/.config/swerver/swerver.config.toml.

To generate a configuration file, run swerver:

$ cd swerver
$ ./swerver

Setting Swerver Up as a Service

Create a service file /lib/systemd/system/swerver.service:

[Unit]
Description=swerver

[Service]
Type=simple
Restart=always
RestartSec=5s
ExecStart=/home/pi/swerver/swerver
WorkingDirectory=/home/pi/swerver
User=pi

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Modify the ExecStart and WorkingDirectory fields to match the installation directory where you installed swerver.

Now you can use the standard systemctl commands:

$ sudo systemctl start swerver
$ sudo systemctl status swerver
$ sudo systemctl stop swerver
$ sudo systemctl status swerver
