## Features
- **Multi Device Support**: Connect to multiple devices from one single interface.
- **Easy Deployment**: Extremely easy to deploy and scale with multiple devices.
- **Webhook Logging**: Log queries to a webhook channel (optional).
- **Rate Limiting**: Reduce service abuse by rate limiting users, 100 per day and 10 per minute.
## Setup (Docker)
1. Clone repository
- `git clone https://github.com/AliMickey/photonglass.git`
2. Create an instance folder to store your config and logos/favicon
- `cd photonglass`
- `mkdir instance`
- `mkdir instance/images`
3. Create config files and upload logos/favicon (follow config template below)
4. Create `docker-compose.yml` (follow template below)
4. Build and deploy the container (inital build may take a minute)
- `docker compose up -d --build`
5. View the app at `http://IP_ADDRESS:5000`, recommend using a reverse proxy (traefik) for production use.

## Attribution
This project was inspired by [hyperglass](https://hyperglass.dev/) after having difficulty deploying it as well as being overkill for what I wanted. This project is not meant as a 1:1 replacement with hyperglass and as such is kept simple by design. At time of release only Linux servers were tested as a target device, the same device library as hyperglass is used (netmiko) so compatibility with more devices should not be an issue, just be aware it is untested.
