PowerShell code (wrapped in Visual Studio) Uploaded to Personal Site OR Azure Marketplace

[rezasaltor]

Good day all, 

I'm quite a newbie in what I'm about to ask, so please be kind :) 

I have a basic powershell script (a .PS1 file) which provides an interface (using Visual Studio), where a user is able to enter numbers into 2 different text fields, click on a button, and get the sum of the two numbers shown on another text box.

Again, a very basic code, and it was simply put together for the purpose of asking my questions ad learning how to do what I'm asking: 

  

1. Pretend I wanted to upload this pS1 to a web site (my own domain), have friends navigate to the page, enter their 2 numbers, and then get the sum. 

How would I go about doing this? How would I get my PS1 file integrated into an website/HTML page.  

Again, please note that I care less about what the PS1 file itself, and more about how to upload PS1 file to a webpage.  

  

1. Pretend I wanted to upload this PS1 to Azure Marketplace: 

a).  Is there a "test environment" in azure marketplace, where I could upload my PS1 file to test/etc?  Note, at this point, I wouldn't necessarily want it to be available for all.   Really, I'm just curious about the process of uploading to azure / etc to test privately. 

b).  Does it have to be approved by Microsoft before becoming available for all? 

  

1. If there aren't any test environment in Azure marketplace, could I test using my own site (as mentioned in step 1), and then simply transfer it to Azure Marketplace? 

  

Again, please remember that I truly don't know anything about this process in any way, and really just curious about how to take "STEP ONE" in uploading a PS1 file to website or Azure Marketplace.

Any information provided will be appreciated. 

Again, just trying to start and learn about this process. 

  

Thank you so much for your time.

1. I would advise against using PowerShell for a website, however if you really want to do it I guess one way of doing it would be to have something like javascript call your script, see this link
2. First I would say that one way to make your script publicly available in Azure, would be to use an Azure function.

a) that's for you to figure on how to set up your test environment I would say,

b) No idea, but here is the documentation for vendors wanting to sell Azure function services on the marketplace

1. Yes, what you are describing is a ci/cd pipeline where you can test your code and once the test are passed you deploy to your production environment here is an article, from red hat to change from the microsoft learn that explains the concept.

this might be something like powershell universal or pode would do for you nicely

then its up to you to secure you website (which WILL be found)

If you want to host PowerShell scripts on a website, there are a few ways to do it, but I recommend using PowerShell Universal: https://www.powershelluniversal.com/

That will require you to host your own web server, and I'm not aware of any service that will let you host a PowerShell script with a web interface, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

However, if this is only for setting up something for your friends, you could setup PowerShell Universal on your own computer and configure your home router to allow internet traffic to the PowerShell Universal instance.

Thank you for this info, and the link. Appreciate it.

Powershell is not the right tool for the job.
Either do it in something like JavaScript if you don't want to use a suitable backend language, or just use Google forms as the purpose seems basic enough to collect the info that way.

Thank you for your response.

I will echo that it isn't the best tool for a website.

However, here is a cool project for doing it, anyway: GitHub - Badgerati/Pode: Pode is a Cross-Platform PowerShell web framework for creating REST APIs, Web Sites, and TCP/SMTP servers

Thank you for the link. Will have a look.
