Usage

To configure this plugin you can use template from settings.d/remote_execution_ssh.yml.example. You must place remote_execution_ssh.yml config file (based on this template) to your smart-proxy config/settings.d/ directory.

Also, you need to have the dynflow plugin enabled to be able to trigger the tasks.

The simplest thing one can do is just to trigger a command:

curl http://my-proxy.example.com:9292/dynflow/tasks \
      -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json'\
      -d '{"action_name":  "ForemanRemoteExecutionCore::Actions::RunScript",
           "action_input": {"task_id" : "1234'$RANDOM'",
                            "script": "/usr/bin/ls",
                            "hostname": "localhost",
                            "effective_user": "root"}}'
