WIP

This plugin is not currently possible since Yaegi does not support yet the os/exec package.

This is a plugin for Traefik which terminates a connection by executing a shell script.

For now, there is no configuration required.

Here is an example of a file provider dynamic configuration (given here in YAML), where the interesting part is the http.middlewares section:

# Dynamic configuration

http:
  routers:
    my-router:
      rule: host(`demo.localhost`)
      service: service-foo
      entryPoints:
        - web
      middlewares:
        - traefik-plugin-shellexec

  services:
   service-foo:
      loadBalancer:
        servers:
          - url: http://127.0.0.1:5000

  middlewares:
    traefik-plugin-shellexec:
      plugin:
        traefik-plugin-shellexec:
          enabled: true

Once you have a running instance of this plugin, you can call the middleware with a POST request. Arguments on how to run commands on the host are provided using the body of the request.

The body can look like:

{
  "command": "cat -",
  "stdin": "test"
}

The equivalent of this request is: echo "test" | cat -.

The output of this request will result in:

{
  "return_code": "0",
  "stderr": "",
  "stdout": "test"
}

Traefik also offers a developer mode that can be used for temporary testing of plugins not hosted on GitHub. To use a plugin in dev mode, the Traefik static configuration must define the module name (as is usual for Go packages) and a path to a Go workspace, which can be the local GOPATH or any directory.

# Static configuration
pilot:
  token: xxxxx

experimental:
  devPlugin:
    goPath: /plugins/go
    moduleName: github.com/tommoulard/traefik-plugin-shellexec

(In the above example, the shellexec plugin will be loaded from the path /plugins/go/src/github.com/tommoulard/traefik-plugin-shellexec.)

Note that only one plugin can be tested in dev mode at a time, and when using dev mode, Traefik will shut down after 30 minutes.

• Support more than POST requests
  • Query params
  • Headers
• add more data to response
  • Time spent doing the command (can use time for now)
  • pid of the process (can use $! for now)
  • env (can use env for now)
