Finding a good song is harder than it looks; usually we must go trough tons of different tracks just to get something similiar to what we're looking for. Through an MQTT-based android application (or simply by the Nuclio Dashboard) we send a message made of "author" and "song title" (e.g. "Elephant Gym - Underwater") to the function and we get back 5 similiar tracks. To recive the results we use an IFTTT applet which gets triggered by a webhook and can forward the data to any device compatible with IFTTT such as smart speaker, social networks and streaming services.
More Music is a simple function made for Nuclio, an open source and managed serverless platform that we can run on our home server. It uses RabbitMQ as broker to share MQTT messages around.
This was the final project for the Serverless Computing class at Università degli Studi di Salerno, we used nuclio to simulate a fully fledged serverless infrastructure
Clone this repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/JustAnOwlz/more-music.git
$ cd more-music
Start up a docker instance of Nuclio:
$ sudo docker run -p 8070:8070 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v /tmp:/tmp nuclio/dashboard:stable-amd64
Start up a docker instance of RabbitMQ:
$ sudo docker run -p 9000:15672 -p 1883:1883 -p 5672:5672 cyrilix/rabbitmq-mqtt
Make an applet on IFTTT to forward the songs found to Telegram or any smart speaker such as Alexa or Google Home.
Obtain an API key from the Last.fm's API and Youtube's Data API and place them inside moremusic.yaml. Remember to add your IP in the right spot
Browse to http://localhost:8070, create a project, load the moremusic.yaml file and deploy it. Anything should work just fine.
Open a terminal, browse to the more-music folder and install the dependencies:
$ npm install
Run the file logger.js and specify your IP:
$ npm logger.js 192.168.1.1 # put your own ip
