polybar-appgate

This repository contains 2 scripts to integrate AppGate connection status in polybar:

  • appgate-client.py - replaces the AppGate GUI: starts the AppGate service and handles interactions wih the polybar script
  • polybar-appgate.py - the actual polybar script: outputs an icon depending on AppGate connection status

Status icons:

  • connected: connected
  • disconnected: disconnected
  • connecting: disconnected
  • error: error

Note: the client script is only able to handle SAML connection, there are no plans to implement more login methods.

Setup

  1. in AppGate GUI client's advanced settings, enable automatic login
  2. clone this repository wherever you want
  3. install the provided systemd service file by running make install, or run the appgate-client.py script at startup (e.g. from your i3 config)
  4. add the polybar-appgate.py script to your polybar config, as shown in the example below
[module/appgate]
type = custom/script
exec = /path/to/polybar-appgate.py
interval = 5
