OliveTin — a simple web interface for running Linux shell commands

It’s been a while since I’ve had the time to stay up late and write code for fun, but I’d just like to write a post to quickly introduce a little project I’ve been working on called OliveTin.

Use cases

1. Give controlled access to run shell commands to less technical folks who cannot be trushed with SSH. I use this so my family can podman restart plex without asking me, and without giving them shell access!
2. Great for home automation tablets stuck on walls around your house — I use this to turn Hue lights on and off for example.
3. Sometimes SSH access isn’t possible to a server, or you are feeling too lazy to type a long command you run regulary! I use this to send Wake on Lan commands to servers around my house.
