Return only the result JSON from shoved-register
When push comes to shove... it spawns a process.
shoved
is a push notification daemon for Linux systems using the
Web Push API and the
Mozilla Push Service.
These notifications are encrypted by the source and decrypted locally, so the push
service cannot read their content.
This repository includes source code for two executables: shoved
and shoved-register
.
shoved
must be running to receive push notifications and register new handlers.
It is recommended to set this up to automatically start on login, for example in your
desktop environment or as a systemd user service. (a system-wide mode is also supported
but personally I've had trouble getting desktop notifications to show with that setup)
To set up a service for push notifications, you probably want one of these:
If you want to write your own handler, see the following section.
To register a new handler, run the shoved-register
command with the filepath of your
handler executable. If successful, the command will print a JSON object with subscription
information in this structure:
{
"endpoint": "https://updates.push.services.mozilla.com/wpush/v1/SOMETHING_GOES_HERE",
"keys": {
"auth": "SomethingGoesHere",
"p256dh": "SomethingMuchLongerGoesHere"
}
}
These values should then be sent to the service so it can begin sending pushes.
When a push is received, shoved
will run the specified handler executable and pass
the contents of the received message as stdin.
