RunRun: a small web UI for running shell commands on a server
A self-hostable Go web app that schedules, executes and live-streams the output of shell tasks — with auth, CSRF and rate limiting baked in
I have a recurring problem: I want to give someone (sometimes future-me) a button to push that runs a specific shell command on a server. A backup, a deployment dry-run, a cache flush, a database snapshot. Cron isn’t quite right because the trigger isn’t time-based. SSH is fine but assumes the person has SSH and remembers the exact command. A bespoke Flask app is too much yak-shaving.
RunRun is my attempt at the smallest reasonable thing that fills that gap: a Go web app where you declare tasks in YAML, log in, click “run”, and watch the output stream live in your browser.
