Manage your hostfile in the terminal

cohoast's Issues

Update and add documentation

Documentation is still in a separate branch, needs to be merge. After all these mutations it'll probably need an update.

Remove Categories

All the hostnames under it should go to the default category.
Default category cannot be deleted
This is a functionality what can be done under the list functionality

cohoast list -r categoryname

Log everything

Because you know... fun!

Best thing is not to build a log app besides but just call a vendor for this. Or a make a basic log aside for it.

Ascii format in a backup file

When a backup-file is created, a standard format is added to the file
This includes (optional):

• annotation
• timestamp of creation
• previous backup
• id
• difference with last backup
• was it manually done
• which user
• root or not
• computername

Animate the train

When entering the menu, a short animation should appear

Lint all possible bash files

At this point only run.sh is being checked. This used to be the central script, but a lot has been split up, so extra checks are needed.

Blocking ip-addresses by dns

Blocking

CLI: Add hostname with flags

ATM you can add a hostname with the default settings, but it would be better to configure it in the cli

Flags

-p, --port

Portnumber

-c, --category

Name of the category

-a, --address

Ip-address

Import hostnames

Using a folder 'import' it will search in the folder for yaml-files and import the hostname.

filetype: yaml
Menu: yes
CLI: yes

cohoast import [ filename ]

Block IPs

Block an ip that is inserted.

Menu: yes
Configuration: yes
CLI

cohoast block [ ip ]

Travis setup

Testing and what more.

Add a note to the category

When a new category is setup, you can leave a note. Possibly for why the category is setup or what to put it in.

List hostnames

Show all the hostnames in a list on the terminal

cohoast list 

List hostnames by filter ipaddress

Show a list of the hostnames provided with an ipaddress

cohoast list -i 127.0.0.1

Naming your own defined ips

In your configuration you have a set of defined ips which you can name.
This way redirecting/blocking some sites can be less a little convoluted.
Also, when you want to change the ip address it should be a lot more easier since everything connected to the name in the config. #21 has to be build first for this.

Git hooks

Not only for checking but also letting the workflow go easier.

CLI: Backup with flags

Additional flags to need be added to the basic backup from issue #5

Flags

- l, --location

Specify the folder

-f, --filename

Name of the file

Manual to the installation

The man file gives a copy out to the shared local files so the documentation can be viewed in the terminal

man cohoast

Decent header hostfile

A decent header for the hosts-file itself. Ascii of course.

Config: Use YAML

For user configuration and not touching the shell, yaml comes to the solution

CLI: Backup the hosts file

When the command to backup the hosts name is called it will do a backup. Very simple.

cohoast backup

Coloring in menu

To make it a little bit more attractive, add some colors

Using callbacks

Add some basic unittesting

At this point, really the most basic as you can get.

Own 'memory' file

For not depending on a host file, let it build up a host file from the ground up with its own settings.
Something in the far future to make it better brought up.
With its own history of deletion, adding and editing.
So its not depending on a host file itself anymore.

Better ascii around category

The category - block is not that good. Could be a lot better with some decent asci

Going back to the main menu

After a command is fired from the menu (e.g. adding a hostname) and everything went good, everything should be cleared up in the screen and going back to the main menu.
The 'quit' statement should be the only command to stop the menu from recurring after an option is fired.

Check if an hostname already exists in the hostfile

Give a return value zero or one in the terminal And probably use an echo for it.

cohoast has mydomain.com

List hostnames by filter category

Default filter should be category

cohoast list _mycategory_

Or use the flag -c

cohoast list -c mycategory

CLI: Remove the hostname

In the cli you can remove the hostname just by calling what the hostname is:

cohoast remove [ hostname ]

help command

Create and link this to the 'man' command

cohoast help


cohoast add --help


cohoast remove --help


cohoast list --help

etc

CLI:Remove all hostnames by ip

In the command line type this

cohoast remove 192.168.3.211

This will remove all the hostnames under this address

Autocompletion

Autocomplete commands in the CLI

Getting the current version

Show the current version plus 'version name'

cohoast  [ -v | --version ]

Install from CLI

Using curl and a shell script hosted on this project, do an install to get the whole repository

curl http://githubthingie/install.sh | sh

Very useful for showing this in the readme documentation

Restore a hostfile from backup

This is why to have the backup, restore one.

cohoast restore #idbackupfile
