This is the convoluted source code to my screencast about Vagrant. You should probably watch it first. You may want to sit down for this.
Just to point this out: most of this code is just for illustrative purposes. It's not great code, but it is, well, code. There is some cool stuff in there though.
As a recap from the screencast:
- Mac #1 runs
quake, a small shell script to monitor earthquakes - Once a quake happens, that kicks off a Vagrant build
- That Vagrant build creates a VM that curls a URL running on Mac #2
- Mac #2 routes the request to a tiny Sinatra app that builds a new meme using memegen
- The meme, when loaded, kicks off a FaceTime call
- Mac #2's FaceTime process uses MacRuby to monitor for the keywords "Ellen" or "Page". When that happens, it (should) curl a URL to Mac #1 (although this didn't, well, happen).
- Mac #1 gets the request and spins up a fresh Heroku instance
- That Heroku instance talks to Twilio and dials everyone in the world ever
There's a decent amount API keys, phone numbers, and stuff like that to set up; that's (mostly) all in the config README.
Don't take this too seriously; I didn't. It's fun to hack around sometimes though, no?
