RE: Issue # 71 Web Interface

[clbm87]

I have actually been working on something similar to this. It mainly just reads to yaml file in php and allows writing back to it. There is a composer feature for PHP/YAML that lets you read/write to YAML which should be pretty good for a config file edit/viewer. From that you can do a lot of config edits including operators and permissions. Passwords saved back through bcrypt.

I did stop working on it after having issues forcing a rehash but now that you guys have made use of the API for issuing a rehash I would definitely take a look back at it if someone wants to help?

I was also going to make sure to protect the logins through the yaml file using there oper user/pass to authenticate users to keep it simple.

The other thing on there as far as viewing users/ubans/ etc I had thought about doing something with the web socket as you can use websocket to connect, using sasl, and an oper (from the same user/oper account from reading the config/yaml file) and then you can just force the websock to display things a certain way or interact with the server over websock instead of having to build out to many custom functions.

Here is the web based MOTD editor that runs on php allows updates to the motd, there is a node.js service that runs every 30 seconds to read the time stamps on the file and then copies it to the ergo directory (not web accessible) then uses the API to execute the rehash command.
