#+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
