Arduino Libraries Tooter 📯🐘

This is the source code for the Bot running behind the fediverse/bluesky accounts:

• 🐘 @arduinoLibraries@botsin.space
• 🟦 @arduinolibs.bsky.social

Just like its Twitter counterpart, this app publishes the latest changes found in Arduino Library Registry to the Mastodon and Bluesky networks.

Requirements:

• linux (wget, gzip)
• php8+
• composer
• Mastodon Application TOKEN
• Bluesky Application TOKEN

Quick Start:

• Copy .env.example to .env
• Edit the .env file to set MASTODON_API_KEY and MASTODON_API_URL and MASTODON_ACCOUNT_ID values
• Edit the .env file to set BSKY_API_APP_NAME and BSKY_API_APP_USER and BSKY_API_APP_TOKEN values
• Schedule a run every 10mn by either:
  • Setting cron.php as a crontab */10 * * * * cd /path/to/arduino-libraries-announcer/ && sh cron.sh >> logfile.txt 2>&1
  • Or by using a systemd timer (TODO: document this)
