Sysadmin Role of QR Codes In Centmin Mod ?

Curious how many folks here use QR Codes in some form or another ? Recently I have been playing with Wireguard VPN and it supports creating client VPN configuration profiles generated as QR Codes and you can then use Wireguard Android app to scan the QR Code and import the client VPN configuration profile into Wireguard Android app ! I love this feature !

So was thinking how I can utilise QR Codes in Centmin Mod to quickly transfer Centmin Mod info from SSH session output to QR Codes which your mobile or desktop computers can scan the QR Codes to transfer the info easily. Would be fairly noob proof to get folks to scan a QR Code versus running SSH commands to inspect log files for Centmin Mod information/login details and/or download via SFTP/FTP logs and then inspect those logs etc.

Though thee's a 3KB size limit for data converted.

Example on CentOS install qrencode YUM package and then pipe in text to qrencode to generate the QR Code

Code (Text):

yum -y install qrencode
echo https://centminmod.com | \qrencode -t ansiutf8

another example login.txt text file containing

Code (Text):

Username: user
Password: pass
Email: email@domain.com

Code (Text):

cat login.txt | \qrencode -t ansiutf8

scanning the resulting QR Code in QRDroid

or piping nginx -V config output to a png file
has 2035 characters in output

Code (Text):

nginx -V 2>&1 | wc -c
2035

Code (Text):

nginx -V 2>&1 | \qrencode -o nginx-ver-01.png -t png -v13 -s2 -m3

 

Updated centmin.sh menu option 22 in 123.09beta01 so that wordpress installer can optionally generate QR Codes for wordpress login details, nginx pure-ftpd ftp login details and optionally for wp-login.php HTTP password protection login details so you can scan the QR Codes to get the info onto your mobile, laptop/desktop easily. QR Code generation is disabled by default unless you set QRCODE='y' in your persistent config file /etc/centminmod/custom_config.inc prior to running centmin.sh menu option 22.

Examples below

 

Just a reminder that Centmin Mod supports qrencode command which allows you to pass text to be QRCode converted. Allowing you to pass text, info quickly from server SSH command output to your mobile device when you scan the QRCode

i.e.

Code (Text):

qrencode centminmod.com
