This Weechat plugin aims to provide a simple way to send notifyd notifications from remote hosts. In order to do that, it will bind a port on which it will listen to incoming connections from the client script, and send notifications to be displayed on the client computer.
It can be used in combination with a Weechat client being accessed through SSH (using mosh and GNU Screen) for example.
Authentification and / or encryption is not taken into account yet since I intend to use this plugin in a LAN or through a VPN. It should, however, be an expected future development.
Thus, please note all the network trafic caused by this plugin will be sent unencrypted and as such will be perfectly readable to any attacker on the network.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
TODO.
The program is made up of two files :
remote-notify.py, which is meant to be run as a plugin by Weechat. It works by creating a launch a thread which will listen to incoming TCP connections. In parallel, the Weechat API will call a hook function every time a message is to be displayed, sending it to the listener via UNIX socket.- `client.py, which is meant to be run on the "client machine", i.e the one supposed to receive the notifications. It establishes connection to the server / plugin running on Weechat, and basically forwards messages in the form of Xorg notifications.
something something yada yada... Just slapped a GPLv3 on that, I guess I'll see what becomes of it later.
