# rcond
A simple daemon and REST API designed to simplify the management of various system components, including:
- Network connections: Utilizing NetworkManager's D-Bus interface to dynamically configure network connections
- System hostname: Interacting with the hostname1 service to dynamically update the system's hostname
- Authorized SSH keys: Directly managing the user's authorized_keys file to securely add, remove, or modify authorized SSH keys
## Requirements
- Make
- Go
- NetworkManager
- systemd
- Linux operating system
## Installation
In order to install `rcond` as a systemd service, you need to specify the target architecture and then run the build and install make targets.
```sh
export ARCH=arm64
make install
```
## Run
The run target will build the binary for target architecture and runs it using the default configuration in `config/rcond.yaml`
```sh
make run
```
## Develop
The dev target will run the main.go directly with environment variable configuration:
- RCOND_ADDR = 127.0.0.1:8080
- RCOND_API_TOKEN = 1234567890
```sh
make dev
```
## Configuration
### File
The default config file location is `/etc/rcond/config.yaml`.
It can be overwritten by environment variables and flags.
An full example configuration with comments can be found in `config/rcond.yaml`
Example configuration:
```yaml
rcond:
addr: 0.0.0.0:8080
api_token: 1234567890
```
### Environment Variables
| Environment Variable | Description | Default |
|----------------------|-----------------------------------------|---------------|
| RCOND_ADDR | Address to bind the HTTP server to. | 0.0.0.0:8080 |
| RCOND_API_TOKEN | API token to use for authentication. | N/A |
## API
The full API specification can be found in [api/rcond.yaml](api/rcond.yaml).
### Authentication
All endpoints except `/health` require authentication via an API token passed in the `X-API-Token` header. The token is configured via the `RCOND_API_TOKEN` environment variable when starting the daemon.
### Endpoints
| Method | Path | Description |
|---------|-------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------|
| GET | `/health` | Health check endpoint |
| POST | `/network/ap` | Create and activate a WiFi access point |
| PUT | `/network/interface/{interface}` | Activate a connection |
| DELETE | `/network/interface/{interface}` | Deactivate a connection |
| DELETE | `/network/connection/{uuid}` | Remove a connection |
| GET | `/hostname` | Get the hostname |
| POST | `/hostname` | Set the hostname |
| POST | `/users/{user}/keys` | Add an authorized SSH key |
| DELETE | `/users/{user}/keys/{fingerprint}` | Remove an authorized SSH key |
### Response Codes
- 200: Success
- 400: Bad request (invalid JSON payload)
- 405: Method not allowed
- 500: Internal server error
### Request/Response Format
All endpoints use JSON for request and response payloads.
## Examples
### Setup an Access Point
```bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euo pipefail
# Example script to create and activate a WiFi access point
# Requires:
# - RCOND_ADDR (default: http://0.0.0.0:8080)
# - RCOND_API_TOKEN (your API token)
API_URL="${RCOND_ADDR:-http://0.0.0.0:8080}"
API_TOKEN="${RCOND_API_TOKEN:-your_api_token}"
INTERFACE="wlan0"
SSID="MyAccessPoint"
PASSWORD="StrongPassword"
echo "Creating access point '$SSID' on interface '$INTERFACE'..."
ap_response=$(curl -sSf -X POST "$API_URL/network/ap" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "X-API-Token: $API_TOKEN" \
-d '{
"interface": "'"$INTERFACE"'",
"ssid": "'"$SSID"'",
"password": "'"$PASSWORD"'"
}')
# Extract the UUID from the JSON response
AP_UUID=$(echo "$ap_response" | jq -r '.uuid')
echo "Activating connection with UUID '$AP_UUID' on interface '$INTERFACE'..."
curl -sSf -X PUT "$API_URL/network/interface/$INTERFACE" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "X-API-Token: $API_TOKEN" \
-d '{
"uuid": "'"$AP_UUID"'"
}'
echo "Access point '$SSID' is now up and running on $INTERFACE."
```
