[Feature Request] Run script in folder (use case: static website tools) #882

Hey there, great project.

I'm hosting a couple of static websites for friends, and having them upload files using filestash is great. Unfortunately, I then have to have some other thing monitoring the folder and rendering the HTML. In my current case, faircamp, but I could see the same for say jekyll, hugo, ghost etc. Of course if something goes wrong, I have to then provide the output so they can see what went wrong.

If there were the option to add a plugin to run a script on a button press in certain folders, and ideally if it failed, output the text, it would be a neater solution. I know I could use n8n or zapier, but that's a whole third party (or setup self-hosted) for one script, and still has the feedback problem.

Obviously, installing whatever tool on the server would be an exercise left to the implementer (Including the whole of faircamp, jekyll, etc. in the docker container wouldn't be ideal IMO).
