desktop-cgi

Desktop-CGI is a desktop executable app that can be created from any CGI files or CGI web apps that can be served from an file, an embedded web server using proxy, or an remote proxy web server. It supports embedding and managing embeddable databases and executables. It supports all major Operating systems supported by electron like Windows, Linux, and MacOS supported by Electron.

Desktop CGI

Highlights

Desktop-CGI can serve any CGI files, OR CGI / Scripted / Interpreted languages like PHP, Ruby, Python, Perl, JSP, ASPX, Other Interpreted Languages through embedded webservers, OR any remote proxy (any protocol / webserver) apps

Desktop-CGI runs an Electron - Node - Express based application under the hood and supports major Operating systems like Windows, Linux, Mac or any operating systems supported by Electron.

Usage

Install node.js from https://www.nodejs.com
Clone the Git repository (Alternatively, download the git repository)
Change to the git repository directory / folder cd path/to/desktop-cgi from command line / shell / powershell
Run command npm install
Add your application in the respective www folder or sub-folder [TODO - Simplify]
Check and modify server/config/config-**template**.json file for your application's configuration needs
Check if your electron app runs using command npm run electron
Run command npm run electronbuild [TODO - Simplify]
[Demo] A demo app is placed in the folder wwwdemoapp

Functionality Details

Electron based Desktop application that runs CGI Server

cgijs is Nodejs framework independent / agnostic for serving CGI or interpreted scripting apps via files, or server based web apps via proxies
- Express Recommended and used for demo
Run any script files that supports CGI based file script serving - using cgijs file module
Run any host that serves a web app - using cgijs proxy module
- In App / Local / Remote proxy support
Allows
- running multiple interpreters in one app
- running multiple proxies (currently http, websockets, tcp, udp. grpc planned) in one app
- multiple embedded servers in one app
Allows embedding servers like httpd, nginx, etc to serve web applications - using cgijs process module
Allows embedding database servers (in development) - using cgijs process module

The script should pipe all interpreted language files below:

Python (2.x, 3.x)
Perl (Version Independent)
PHP (Version Independent)
Ruby (Version Independent)

The script will pipe all proxies of above languages and following (to be tested):

Jsp (With Tomcat embedded)
Aspx (Version Independent - With local IIS proxy, Apache embedded)
Any app using local / remote proxy (currently http, websockets, tcp, udp. grpc planned)

The script should currently allow embedding following servers for proxy [TODO: In Development]:

Apache HTTPD (Allows Embed & Proxy)
Apache TomCat (Allows Embed & Proxy)
Nginx (Allows Embed & Proxy)
Mongoose http server (Allows Embed & Proxy)

The script can proxy to any File, most embeddable web servers, and/ or Proxy-able local / remote servers; even IIS Server (Allows Proxy)
