Re:

It's not hard to hit LilyBin from the command line, but the interface isn't great. Try curl -X POST -H "Content-Type:application/json" https://7icpm9qr6a.execute-api.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/prod/prepare_preview/stable -d '{"code": "% LilyBin\n\\score{\n\t{\n\t\t\\repeat unfold 120 { c4. d e f }\n\t}\n\n\t\\layout{}\n\t\\midi{}\n}\n"}'.

The response will include an "id" field. You can download the result from https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/lilybin-scores/${id}.pdf.

LilyBin used to run on a single server just as Urs described, and after about 2 years, somebody ran some Scheme code that goofed up the server (rm -rf . or something). We changed it so compilation happened in an ephemeral Docker container; now it runs on AWS Lambda.

Well, I don't know about LilyPond, but it should definitely be quite
simple to do for someone who has access to a web server running
LilyPond. Create an HTTP server that takes a LilyPond document as the
body in a request, process it with LilyPond, return the document. Then
write a CLI script in any language that takes a LilyPond file as an
argument and performs the HTTP call.

This could be a really simple app, but of course LilyPond on the server
would have to be limited for security reasons. I mean, doing harm on the
server with LilyPond Scheme sounds strange, and I can't imagine anyone
with the required skills would be doing that, but you'll never know ...
