This is a web interface for POS Miners, it allows you to keep track of your activities without connecting to a remote machine or running the commands manually. Github: https://github.com/Fsig/decred-pos-miner-portal
Interesting! I Might set this up on my AWS PoS machine. I'll try to read your code and understand what it's doing first. A PoS miner is very vulnerable to maliciousness, due to having the wallet unlocked (unless you have separate wallets buying tickets for a separate hot wallet.) People probably shouldn't install tools like this without checking the code first! (Not that I think you have done anything malicious, but the precedent could be dangerous!) This looks like a very useful tool
You are correct. This is simply a interface, all the commands are executed via PHP's shell_exec and can be seen here: https://github.com/Fsig/pos-miner-portal/blob/master/functions/api.php
That all looks above board I guess if you were being super-paranoid you could set up a publickey only wallet specially for this sort of thing, that should work, right?
I would assume so. Personally I have separate wallets for main, POW and POS. I would recommend locking down port 80 to your IP address only though and also securing the includes folder. Edit: Updated github with a .htaccess file to secure the includes folder, also added instructions on configuring Apache to allow .htaccess files.
