Remote devices monitor system (WIP)

The goal is to build a system that can register new devices into a server via QR code and monitor those devices via web/mobile app.

How it works ( M2M auth flow )

If anyone reading this has a better solution, feel free to open an issue to discuss it.

desktop-app starts by generating a private/public key
desktop app generates a QR code with both system info and the public key and shows it to the user
mobile-app reads the QR code and sends it to the server
server registers new device and adds the public key to the known keys
desktop-app sends system info every few seconds
server only accepts known public keys
mobile app reads data from server via graphql
