#+title: BadNews: Matrix Bot, Bringer of Bad News
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* What is this?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=BadNews= is a [[https://matrix.org][Matrix]] bot, watching your systemd/journald logs, and reporting
|
||
|
|
bad news to you.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Why?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A mix of wanting to toy around with the [[https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-rust-sdk][matrix_sdk crate]] and getting some
|
||
|
|
simple alerts from my hosted services.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Setup
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Write up a configuration file at =config.yaml=:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#+begin_src yaml
|
||
|
|
homeserver: "https://matrix.example.net"
|
||
|
|
username: "bad-news"
|
||
|
|
password: "matrix password for user bad-news"
|
||
|
|
state_dir: "state/"
|
||
|
|
room_id: "!DeaDbEef:example.net"
|
||
|
|
units:
|
||
|
|
- nginx.service
|
||
|
|
#+end_src
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then run the bot:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#+begin_src sh
|
||
|
|
cargo run -- --config config.yaml
|
||
|
|
#+end_src
|
