MystNodes Manager (bot.py)

A Python-based interactive CLI tool for managing Mysterium Nodes on Linux (Debian/Ubuntu) systems. This script provides an easy-to-use menu-driven interface to handle installation, configuration, and monitoring of Mysterium Node services.

Features

• Install Node: Choose between native APT installation or automatic script installation.
• Check Node Status: View the current status of the Mysterium Node service.
• Service Management: Start, stop, or restart the Mysterium Node service.
• Log Viewer: View live logs or save logs to a file.
• Configuration Viewer: Display active Mysterium Node configuration.
• Edit SERVICE_OPTS: Modify service options (e.g., WireGuard ports) with validation.
• Update Node: Update the node to the latest version.
• Install Development Version: Install snapshot/development versions from the dev repository.
• Color-Coded Output: Uses ANSI colors for better readability (green for success, red for errors).
• User Confirmation: Prompts for confirmation before executing critical actions.

Requirements

• Operating System: Linux (Debian/Ubuntu). The script checks for Linux and warns if run on other platforms.
• Python Version: 3.6 or higher.
• Privileges: Must be run with sudo (or as administrator on Windows, though Windows is not fully supported).
• Dependencies: Standard Python libraries only (os, subprocess, sys, shutil, time, platform).

Installation

1. Clone or download the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/dani12po/MYST.git
   cd MYST
   

2. Ensure the script has execute permissions (optional, since it's run with python3):

   chmod +x bot.py
   

Usage

Run the script with sudo privileges:

sudo python3 bot.py

Main Menu Options

1. Install Node: Select installation method (Native APT or Automatic Script).
2. Check Node Status: Displays the service status using systemctl.
3. Start / Stop / Restart Node: Manage the service lifecycle.
4. View Logs: Choose to view live logs or save to a file (node.logs).
5. View Active Configuration: Shows current config via myst config show.
6. Edit SERVICE_OPTS: Edit /etc/default/mysterium-node file with validation (must end with 'wireguard').
7. Update Node: Updates to the latest version via APT.
8. Install Development/Snapshot Version: Installs from the dev PPA, allowing version selection.
9. Exit: Quits the script.

Example Workflow

• After installation, check the status to ensure the service is running.
• Use the log viewer to monitor activity.
• Edit SERVICE_OPTS if you need to change ports or other options.
• Restart the service after configuration changes.

Notes

• The script performs automatic checks and confirmations for safety.
• All commands requiring elevated privileges use sudo.
• On non-Linux systems, the script will warn but attempt to run (commands may fail).
• Logs saved to file are stored in the current directory as node.logs.

Troubleshooting

• Permission Errors: Ensure you're running with sudo.
• Command Failures: Verify that Mysterium Node packages are available in your repositories.
• Platform Warnings: This tool is optimized for Linux; Windows support is limited.
