Wrapped
A simple wrapper around any user-interactive program to expose stdio over unix sockets
Why would I want this?
Say you were trying to host a minecraft server, and you want to be able to log into the server's console, but you also want to manage your server with SystemD unit files. Ordinarily this isn't possible, since running a minecraft server as a system service means you can't access it's console. This program helps you get around that.
Example
Say we want to start our minecraft server in a unit file
[Unit]
Description=Our minecraft server
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=simple
User=minecraft
WorkingDirectory=/home/minecraft
ExecStart=/usr/bin/java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.1.14.4.jar nogui
TimeoutSec=15
Restart=always
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
We can make this interactable like so
[Unit]
Description=Our minecraft server
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=simple
User=minecraft
WorkingDirectory=/home/minecraft
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/wrapped -s /tmp/uds -- /usr/bin/java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.1.14.4.jar nogui
TimeoutSec=15
Restart=always
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
And now we can log into our minecraft server like this:
$ sudo -u minecraft wrapped -s /tmp/uds
Simple!
