The STFU-Android-Application lets you control the audio volume of your computer.

Requirements:

  • PulseAudio
  • SSH-Server (with Public key authentication enabled)
  • Android 2.2 or higher

Installation:

First, install the STFU-Android-Application.

Then generate a key-pair on your pc

$ ssh-keygen

Do not safe them in your ~/.ssh/ directory!
Safe them somewhere else (e.g. /tmp/id_rsa). Also, do not use a passphrase.

Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/rainer/.ssh/id_rsa): /tmp/id_rsa

Then add the generated public-key to the list auf authorized keys:

cat /tmp/id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

Next, create a folder on the sdcard of your Android phone called STFU.
You can do this while the phone is plugged to the computer.
Copy the key-pair (id_rsa and id_rsa.pub) in it.

STFU should now work.

General info:

  • I wrote this programm in first line for myself, so the gui (and performance and more) is improvable. I know that.
  • STFU works with IPV6. You can try it out but be sure to have a IPV6 address (see IPV6 Status).
  • If you are unfamiliar with SSH, you should try to get SSH to work with Public key authentication first before you try it with this application.
  • Be patient while using the control buttons. Sending the SSH-command takes its time.
  • Errors, Support etc to: rainer@hihn.org
