remotenotify

A small script which forwards dbus notifications from one bus to an other

why?

I needed a way to forward messages from a chat application running on an other machine to my main machine.

how?

Based on snippets from:

• https://pychao.com/2021/03/01/sending-desktop-notification-in-linux-with-python-with-d-bus-directly/

config

In order to work the local bus must be available on the remote machine. Only do this if you trust the remote machine! In my case it is only a second workstation used exclusively by me.

ssh -R /run/user/1000/bus-remote:/run/user/1000/bus $REMOTEMACHINE python app.py

licence

I don't think I am allowed to give this script a licence as it is basically snippets from the two pages copied together. If you want to use the code refer to the licences of the original posts.
