[J]ust [A]nother [R]ather [V]ery [I]gnorant [S]ystem
JARVIS is a bot developed for use by my friends and I on XMPP. It started as just a weather alert bot, and progressed from there. Internally he uses a MongoDB server for dealing with data persistence. One day I'll detail its 'schema' here in the unlikely event someone wants to run their own JARVIS.
- Alert of active weather alerts directly from NWS (filtered by severity).
- Poll the GitHub API for monitoring for new commits.
- Notify of free games from HumbleBundle.
- Watch for sales of specific titles of a specific criteria from HumbleBundle.
- Notify those who ask of the more important Warframe items only received from in-game alerts.
- Manage user accounts on the XMPP server we own.
JARVIS is technically capable of handling all the features listed above for anyone who uses XMPP as we do. He only listens to subscribers/admin for most things, but just being his friend will get you free game notifications. His JID: jarvis@hive.nullcorp.org
JARVIS requires a few thing to operate, namely some API keys and a MongoDB instance. I intend to remove the MongoDB requirement, however he will still require some API keys (for GitHub for example). It's a pain, but not a huge one. May change in future.
Create a 'config.py' in his root directory with the following:
xmpp_user = 'JID here'
xmpp_pass = 'password here'
mongo_user = 'jarvis'
mongo_pass = 'mongo pass here'
geocode_key = 'google geocode api key'
restapi_host = 'host:port of the xmpp restful api'
restapi_key = 'xmpp server rest api key'
github = 'github api key'
