GRPC-server basic usage

Gnetcli 'server' is a GRPC-server for interacting with non-Go projects and other automations. The server supports basic auth for clients, executing commands in stream mode, upload and downloading. Authentication on a device can be specified as a part of Exec() RPC or using -dev* arguments. See GRPC-server calls description in server.proto.

Installation:

go install github.com/annetutil/gnetcli/cmd/gnetcli_server@latest

Or download latest release from Github release.

Starting:

server -debug -basic-auth mylogin:mysecret

Exec a command on a device using grpcurl:

TOKEN=$(echo -n "$LOGIN:$PASSWORD" | base64)
grpcurl -H "Authorization: Basic $TOKEN" -plaintext -d '{"host": "hostname", "cmd": "dis clock", "host_params": {"device": "juniper", "credentials": {"login": "test", "password": "test"}}, "string_result": true}' localhost:50051 gnetcli.Gnetcli.Exec
