BadNews: Matrix Bot, Bringer of Bad News

What is this?

BadNews is a Matrix bot, watching your systemd/journald logs, and reporting bad news to you.

Why?

A mix of wanting to toy around with the matrix_sdk crate and getting some simple alerts from my hosted services.

Setup

Write up a configuration file at config.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

Then run the bot:

cargo run -- --config config.yaml
