Hey @majkinetor, we're using Jenkins for this purpose, I finally managed to onboard all jobs that have previously been running on task schedulers on various servers within the the last 2 years, now we're at 80 jobs in Jenkins and it works out great for us.
It takes a bit to get used to, especially the credential handling, but it was defo worth the effort.
Since Jenkins works a lot with Nodes, you can have the nodes as close as possible to the application you're automating. Let's say, you're automating stuff on SCCM, have a Jenkins Node on the SCCM Server and it can even use the servers local identity.

I've looked into Rundeck before too, but it has a cost so I looked into Jenkins instead.

@Badgerati thx a lot. Minute is fine, if something needs to run more then that it should be service, not a job.

@RobinBeismann Jenkins was first on my mind as Rundeck replacement. However, its just overkill

and its not designed for that purpose in mind

I am running all the shell scripts on server node . They either run locally or do remote session

FYI, Rundeck is free, enterprise is payed since year or two

i am using it like 10+ years for free

Rundeck is really great for this purpose, its just that new corporate overlords (pager duty) don't have the same goals as previous ones and that they have mega serious bug that they ignore (when job timeouts on Rundeck it keeps shell process running without killing it so they pile up)

Hi! Is there a way to not show a page in the sidebar in pode.web?

Hi @Badgerati,
i have a problem with UserFile-Authentication. I used the following code:

Start-PodeServer {
    Add-PodeEndpoint -Address localhost -Port 80 -Protocol Http
    Enable-PodeSessionMiddleware -Duration (10*60) -Extend

    New-PodeAuthScheme -Form | Add-PodeAuthUserFile -Name 'Login' -Groups @("Admin","Developer")
    Use-PodewebTemplates  -Title 'Login Example'
    Set-PodeWebLoginPage -Authentication Login 
}

and the following users.json in the root of the Script ( SHA256-Hash of Passw0rd):

[
    {
        "Name": "hans",
        "Username": "hans",
        "Email": "hans.wurst@demo.com",
        "Password": "AB38EADAEB746599F2C1EE90F8267F31F467347462764A24D71AC1843EE77FE3",
        "Groups": [
            "Admin",
            "Developer"
        ],
        "Metadata": {
            "Created": "2022-01-05"
        }
    }
]

But I always get Access denied. I also tried HMAC SHA256, but to no avail. Can you give me hint what is going south here?

Hey @hvoges,

How are you generating the SHA256 of "Passw0rd"? When I do it I get: qzjq2ut0ZZnywe6Q+CZ/MfRnNHRidkok1xrBhD7nf+M=, using:

$password = 'Passw0rd'
$crypto = [System.Security.Cryptography.SHA256]::Create()
[System.Convert]::ToBase64String($crypto.ComputeHash([System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($password)))

What is the official chat tool being used for Pode?

Matthew Kelly

@Badgerati

Hey @cadayton_gitlab, it's Discord (https://discord.gg/fRqeGcbF6h), but I do try to keep an eye here for messages as well :)

Hey @Badgerati

Not really a Pode.Web issue but thought you might have a answer.

I've create a simple Web page using Pode.Web and it is working as expected. With FireFox, I then save the Web page as 'index.html' using the option 'Web Page Complete'.

When the index.html file is opened with a Firefox, it appears to not be finding the css files and just renders the raw html content only.

Any thoughts on how to get it to render in the same manner as when running the service.ps1?

Matthew Kelly

@Badgerati

Hey @cadayton_gitlab, I'm not too sure to be honest! Looking at Firefox's docs it should be saving the html, along will all the css/js at the same path. I followed https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-save-web-page and saved the ./basic.ps1 in examples, and then opened the index.htm saved. For me it loaded everything, but it looked a little weird.

It seems as though it only saves normal images, js and css; so js/css maps and fonts are a no-show it looks like 🤔.

Craig Dayton

@cadayton_gitlab

I found opening the 'index.html' file with the browse sort of worked but missing a couple of icons too. But if I browse to the 'index.html' location, I get just the raw html output.

I'm just trying to create a static webpage and hosting it on IPFS. Using either Brave or a browser with IPFS Companion installed, the following IPNS link should work as an example of what I'm up to.

Finally, fixed by discord account.

Matthew Kelly

@Badgerati

I had the same with the icons, the "complete" doesn't save everything - like fonts, maps, etc.

I managed to get it "working" just now by saving the single HTML page. Then:

Open the index.html and change all /pode.web/ references to pode.web/
In the same folder as the index.html, create a pode.web folder
In the Pode.Web module, there's a Templates/Public path. Copy all folders (images, libs, etc.) within the Templates/Public folder into the pode.web folder above

That should let everything render when browsed to. I've just been opening the html file by double-clicking it, but if you get a plain style again, check the Developer Console in the browser for errors :)

@cadayton_gitlab

I finally figured out the issue that I was encountering which boiled down to how the path is specified for 'href' to the .css and .js files. If I'm hosting from Keybase in a given directory path, the directory path needs to proceed, the 'index_files' directory. I.E. "<dir path>/index_files/..".

For an example see: https://jabless.keybase.pub/UnitedWeeStand

The same was true when hosting from IPFS and the html is Windows based. But if the html was being hosted from Linux using IPFS, I had to remove "dir_path" reference.

For an example see: https://ipfs.io/ipns/k51qzi5uqu5dhgvz0udvoqbsh51e0wvfmpr4teyoqodcfq7zxj9tjywwdhn5ee/

Aaah, glad you worked it out! :D

@burtsimpson

@Badgerati Using something like AD Auth in Pode, do you think it might be possible to grab the originating requestors domain machine information and use that as a "pass through" authentication?

burtsimpson

@burtsimpson

What I would like to do is run a curl or get-webrequest from a machine to a remote pode endpoint and if the requesting computer's domain account is valid and joined to the domain to allow that to be a valid "login" request. I could further parse out the auth data (maybe like in the Additional Validation section at https://badgerati.github.io/Pode/Tutorials/Authentication/Inbuilt/WindowsAD/#additional-validation) to make sure it is a certain machine from a list or AD Group.

Matthew Kelly

@Badgerati

Hey @burtsimpson, this sounds a lot like Kerberos authentication that's been worked on here: Badgerati/Pode#402; does this do what you're after?

Craig Dayton

@cadayton_gitlab

If interested, I have a functional prototype of using Keybase as the authentication mechanism. It leverages the KV store of Keybase to generate a one-time password (OTP) from either your personal keybase account or a team in Keybase. Must install the PSKeyBase module that I wrote. https://cadayton.keybase.pub/PSGallery/Modules/PSKeyBase/PSKeyBase.html
