Daemon software for Remotr.
The Remotr daemon can be configured via a simple CLI.
Usage:
# Install
remotr-daemon.exe install --host http://yourbackendhost:3000 --secret yourServerSecret
# Or with shorter syntax
remotr-daemon.exe install -h http://yourbackendhost:3000 -s yourServerSecret
# Uninstall
remotr-daemon.exe uninstallAvailable commands:
| Command | Arguments | Description |
|---|---|---|
| install | --host/-h, --secret/-s | Registers the daemon and installs the Windows service. |
| uninstall | (None) | Deregisters the daemon and uninstalls the Windows service. |
| reinstall | --host/-h, --secret/-s | Reinstalls and re-registers the daemon. |
| register | --host/-h, --secret/-s | Registers the daemon with the backend. |
| deregister | (None) | De-registers the daemon from the backend. |
| reregister | --host/-h, --secret/-s | Re-registers the daemon with the backend. |
(Note: All CLI arguments are mandatory unless marked as optional by surrounding with [brackets].)
The TSC watcher can be started with npm run watch. Live-reloading can be enabled by running npm run dev in a separate terminal (this project does not use ts-node).
In development (i.e. when the NODE_ENV environment variable is set to development), the daemon will run on localhost instead of the default internal IP. Should you wish to test this functionality, run npm start instead of npm run dev.
Note: In development, if not using the compiled executable, you need to use the register and deregister commands instead of install and uninstall to register/unregister the daemon. The service integration will not be available unless an executable is compiled.
To run the full build flow, including TypeScript compilation and compiling into an executable, use the npm run build script. To only compile TypeScript code, run npm run tsc, and to only build the executable, run npm run pkg.
Ready-made, runnable artifacts will be outputted into the dist folder.
(Note: The components in the bin folder are templates, not the installable artifacts. The bin and dist directories are automatically merged by the pkg script during the build process.)
