# Install

For Debian 12 (and more...)

On server :
```bash
apt install python3-flask python3-paramiko python3-psutil
```

On nodes : 
```bash
apt install python3-psutil
```

For Debian < 12
```bash
pip3 install psutil flask paramiko
```

On nodes :
```bash
pip3 install psutil
```
If you prefer (recommended), you can run in an python env

```bash
apt install python3-venv

python3 -m venv Pymonit
. /Pymonit/bin/activate
pip3 install psutil flask paramiko

```


# Configuration

## Clients

Add your client in the python list client:

```bash
client = ['192.168.0.1','server.local','server.mydns']
```

## Generate keys for connection 

Becarrefull, avoid using a root user to start application and connect to client.
Use a dedicated user.

On server, generate a pair of key :
```bash
ssh-keygen -b 2048 -t rsa
```

And push the public key in your clients :

```bash
ssh-copy-id -i <home_user>/.ssh/id_rsa.pub <user>@<client>
```

## Configuration on application

You have to report these info on the application :

```bash
class ssh_conf:
       port = 22
       username = '<user>'
       password ='<home_user>/.ssh/id_rsa.pub'

```

For testing purpose, but still not recommended, you can use a password in configuration file.

```bash
class ssh_conf:
       port = 22
       username = '<user>'
       password ='<password>'
```


## Flask configuration
Configure the flask configuration according to your needs (port,host,...)
```bash
class flask_conf:
       port = 8090
       host = "0.0.0.0"
       thread = False
       debug = False
       reloader = False
       ssl = 'adhoc'
```
NB: the parameter ssl = 'adhoc' will activate the HTTPS with a self certificate.
If you get an error, you should add this package :

```bash
pip3 install pyopenssl
```

## Path configuration
```bash
class paths :
    basedir = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))
    agent_path = basedir+'/agent.py'
    remote_path = '/var/tmp/script.py'
```

remote_path : the location where the agent will be pushed and execute.
Take care that your used is able to write and execute in this location.

## Systemctl (optional)

To easy start, stop and restart application, you can use the monit.service template.

Replace the path according to your system in :

```bash
[Unit]
Description= Monit service
After=multi-user.target
[Service]
Type=simple
Restart=always
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /application/path/app.py
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```

Copy the file in your systemd folder :

```bash

cp ./monit.service /etc/systemd/system/

```

Then you can start it :
```bash
systemctl start monit.service
```
To get it automaticaly start with your system:
```bash
systemctl enable monit.service
```
