Remote-droid

• Docker Image

• npm

• Remote-droid is on REST API to control multiple android devices using an HTTP and WebSocket request.

• Remote-droid uses a single Redis Database as a multipurpose Database.

• If no database is provided Remote-droid will still work without access control.

Global functioning

Account / global access

When started for the first time, all connected devices are fully accessible without authentification. The first created account will obtain an admin role and be the only one allowed to access devices. For now, the server will reject all non-authenticated requests. The following created account will not have any access to any device until the admin account gives the device access using the POST /users/allow method.

Authentification

• administration functions are available using a JWT token.
• Devices control is done using a token provided by POST /users/token with a JWT token.
• An account can have up to 3 tokens.

API

The REST API open API is visible on path /api
