history-db

About

History DB is very similar to the shell-sink project (https://github.com/joshuacronemeyer/shellsink), but with the goal of being as easy to install, and as portable, as possible.

It consists of 2 parts

• A server component built on a very simple mysql database and php installation
• A pair of bash functions that can be included in a bashrc file to automatically post commands run to the web server, and to download and sync the local bash history file with the server.

Configuration

• Create the MySQL database on your central server using db/schema.sql and grant your web server appropriate access to that database.

• make the web directory accessible on a web server with php and php-mysql.

• Modify the php files to include a new download password (for download.php) and the MySQL connection parameters (for both download.php and index.php)

• include bash/bashrc-funcs in your bashrc somehow, either with a source statement, or copy+paste

• add the following to your bash $PROMPT_COMMAND variable: post_history; history -a
