gossip

Fetch & store messages by room, author, and time.

Build Status

Running

Docker

To run this with Docker, simply:

~$ docker run -it --rm \
    --publish 8080:8080 \
    --volume $(pwd)/data:/data:rw \
    --env GOSSIP_DB_PATH=/data/gossip_production.sqlite3 \
    --env GOSSIP_AUTH_TOKEN=authtokentovalidateclients \
    --env GOSSIP_ROOMS='#jekyll,#octopress' \
    --env GOSSIP_DEFAULT_ROOM=jekyll \
    parkr/gossip \
    gossip -bind=:8080

API

Storing messages

Send a POST request to /api/messages/log with the following data as a URL-encoded string:

{
    "room": "#jekyll",
    "author": "parkr",
    "message": "hey y'all",
    "time": "Mon, 02 Jan 2006 15:04:05 MST"
}

Fetching messages

Send a GET request to /api/messages/log. You can optionally add a limit=N to the querystring to limit results. limit defaults to 10.

{
    "ok": "true",
    "values": [ ... ]
}

Server Configuration

Some environment variables are required to connect for proper functionality:

  • GOSSIP_DB_PATH
  • GOSSIP_AUTH_TOKEN (used to authenticate api requests from the client)
  • GOSSIP_SKIPPED_AUTHORS (optional, allows you to reject messages from certain authors during logging)
  • GOSSIP_DEFAULT_ROOM (default room without hash/pound sign, e.g. for #jekyll IRC room, should be 'jekyll')
  • GOSSIP_ROOMS (comma-separated list of rooms with hash/pound signs, e.g. '#jekyll,#octopress')

Optionally, set the GOSSIP_LOGFILE when running script/deploy.
