Social Media CRON

Using GitHub Actions as a simple hosted CRON job runner for tending my social media.

Motivation

• I like automation
• Infrastructure as code is a great idea
• I have too many Raspberry Pis and hobby servers to manage

Development & Usage

• Secrets are stored as repository secrets and access as environment variables in the workflow
  • Repository secrets settings
• Scripts are designed to run both locally and in Actions
• settings.toml stores configurable settings

Twitter

• Get your tokens from the developer portal

GitHub Actions

• This repo uses semantic-releases to generate releases and release notes automatically from commits
  • A PERSONAL_TOKEN Actions secret from a Personal Token with a public_repo scope is needed for CI releases
