Easiest/secure way for a bash script to upload data to cloud?
Posted: Fri Mar 20, 2020 11:37 pm
Pi Power Tools - the handy Raspbian Image editor - needs some sort of feedback mechanism.
Picture a question box where users can ask questions, provide suggestions, etc.
Later on, I may develop an app store for Raspberry Pi. To function, it would need some sort of popularity-reporting mechanism. Somehow, my bash scripts need a simple way to report data to the Internet.
Is there a practical way to do this?

I have considered:
- Having the bash script send an email. Problem is, AFAIK all email-sending utils need a email address, server domain url, and password. Any user could easily find those credentials and tamper with that email account.
- Having the script upload a text file to Google Drive. Same credential problem as before - to upload to a Google Drive, you need credentials. And credentials can be misused very easily.
- Send some kind of private message to a server. If anybody is familiar with sending PMs from a terminal please let me know.
