Hi guys,
I’ve seen a few unanswered posts about this in the past so wanted to share my findings.
What’s the best way to control your computer using command execution?
I got introduced to this problem when I created N8N as an RPA Node Library and I needed a way to control things remotely.
I tried a few things:
Reverse SSH (RSSH through the SSH Node)
Cloudflared Tunnels
Flowgramming my own custom solution, Localfy , lol
The best solution I found was TriggerCMD. And even better the creator, Russel, was able to create a community node that is now approved. You basically install a lightwieght agent on your computer (supports all OS’s) and the can call the api or use the node to send commands to your computer. It defaults to only running commands you manually create but you can also turn on dynamic commands which allow you to send n8n expressions, but that has some security implications.
I would love to see if anyone has went down this rabbit hole and what they found the best solution to be?
