This is a lightweight Python-based HTTP server that listens for incoming HTTP requests and executes predefined bash scripts based on the request URL and authenticated headers.

• Simple HTTP server using Python's built-in socket module
• Executes bash scripts mapped to URL endpoints
• Authenticates requests using Client-ID and Client-Secret headers
• Uses a .env file to configure allowed endpoints and secrets

1. Client sends HTTP request with a Client-ID and Client-Secret in the headers
2. URL is matched with a bash script path defined in .env
3. If authenticated, the server executes the bash script using subprocess
4. Returns HTTP response confirming script execution

Create a .env file in the same directory with the following format:

ClientId=your_client_id ClientSecret=your_client_secret # Script URLs and paths (use index numbers consistently) ScriptUrl1=/deploy-service-a ScriptPath1=/path/to/deploy-service-a.sh ScriptUrl2=/restart-db ScriptPath2=/path/to/restart-db.sh # Add more as needed

🔐 The index numbers must match (e.g., ScriptUrl3 corresponds to ScriptPath3)

python3 server.py

The server will start on 127.0.0.1:8080.

POST /deploy-service-a HTTP/1.1 Host: localhost:8080 Client-ID: your_client_id Client-Secret: your_client_secret

HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Type: text/html Deployment done!

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request Content-Type: text/html Client ID or Client Secret missing

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request Content-Type: text/html Page missing

• This server does not use HTTPS. Use only on trusted networks.

• Keep .env safe and secure with strong credentials.

• For production:

  • Place the server behind an HTTPS reverse proxy like Nginx
  • Use firewall/IP whitelisting
  • Consider adding token-based or OAuth authentication

To run this with Docker:

Dockerfile

FROM python:3.10-slim WORKDIR /app COPY server.py ./ COPY .env ./ CMD ["python", "server.py"]

Build and run

docker build -t bash-trigger-server . docker run -p 8080:8080 bash-trigger-server
