Plugin structure
Plugins can be placed under ~/.local/share/fedy/plugins/
, or the system plugins directory.
Each plugin is a directory with the suffix .plugin
, which consist of a JSON formatted metadata file. The metadata file contains information about the plugin and describes how Fedy
should run the tasks.
The plugins can run any command or scripts (bash
, python
etc.). In addtion to the system commands, Fedy
provides an additional command, run-as-root
to allow running commands (e.g.- run-as-root touch /some/file/somewhere
) or scripts (e.g.- run-as-root -s do-stuff.sh
) as root.
