This Go project implements a simple TCP server that responds to custom commands over the network. The server performs various system-related tasks and provides
information such as CPU usage, memory status, network statistics, storage details, and system uptime.
This Go project implements a simple TCP server that responds to custom commands over an internal network. The server performs various system-related tasks and provides information such as CPU usage, memory status, network statistics, storage details, and system uptime.
## Commands
The protocol supports the following commands:
- `cpu`: Returns the CPU usage as a percentage.
- `memory`: Returns the memory usage as a percentage.
- `network`: Returns the network statistics as a JSON object.
- `storage`: Returns the storage details as a JSON object.
- `uptime`: Returns the system uptime as a string.
## Usage
1. **Build the Server:**
```bash
CGO_ENABLED=0 GOARCH=<arch> go build -a -ldflags '-s -w' -o ./out/stats-server main.go
```bash shell
$ CGO_ENABLED=0 GOARCH=<arch> go build -a -ldflags '-s -w' -o ./out/stats-server main.go
```
2. **Run the Server:**
```bash
./out/stats-server
```bash shell
$ ./out/stats-server serve
```
3. **Connect to the Server:** Use a TCP client to connect to the server on port 12345. You can send commands like "cpu," "memory," "network," "storage,"
"uptime," and "exit."
3. **Connect to the Server:** Use a TCP client to connect to the server on port 12345. You can send commands like "cpu", "memory", "network", "storage" or
"uptime".
Example using `nc`:
```bash
echo "cpu" | nc localhost 12345
```bash shell
$ time ( echo "cpu" | nc <hostname> 12345 )
```
or using golang
or directly using golang:
```go
import "net"
conn, _ := net.Dial("tcp", "<hostname>:12345")
conn.Write([]byte("cpu"))
func main() {
conn, err := net.Dial("tcp", "localhost:12345")
if err != nil {
// handle error
}
defer conn.Close()
conn.Write([]byte("cpu"))
}
data, _ := io.RealAll(conn)
log.Printf("data: %s", data)
```
## GitHub Actions Workflow
The included GitHub Actions workflow automates the build and release process. On each push to the main branch, the workflow builds the Go program, creates a
GitHub release, and uploads the compiled binary as an artifact.

## Self-Installing Binary
Assuming you have a cluster of machines, you can use the following commands to download and install the latest version of the binary on all nodes. You must have root access to all nodes.
