Hocuspocus is a Linux application remote control system that allows for easy control and management of key applications from a central location.
Hocuspocus boasts support for a variety of Linux applications, including Audacious, VLC, Alsa sound system, and playlists. To get started with Hocuspocus, simply launch a single server in the directory by running "./hocuspocus.py". This will start the server on the specified port according to the settings in the "./hocuspocus.conf" configuration file. This file also contains authorization and authentication settings.
For further customization, there is a vast array of additional configuration available in the "Config/*.conf" files. Hocuspocus also provides pre-built HTML templates that can be found in the "Templates/*ezt" folder, complete with a ready-to-use CSS style sheet in "Resources/default.css".
For password protection, there is a default user password combination of "(default, admin)" included, and certain machines from local subnets are also allowed. In the case of running multiple servers, you can use the proxy "./service_manager.py" to provide a single access point for all servers, reducing the number of firewall configuration required.
Overall, Hocuspocus is an excellent software solution for managing Linux applications remotely, with its user-friendly design and broad range of features ensuring a smooth experience for all users.
