command_center
An automated notification and communications system for software service emergencies.
Right now it's mostly a message logger for Slack messages to Google Drive, though.
Installation
Important
This project was made using Python 2.7.x
Due to the type of string formatting employed, this will not work prior to 2.7.
It is possible to set up an environment with 2.7, even if your server's primary
env is 2.6 or earlier. With your favorite package manager, install python2.7
using one of the various online guides. Once that's done, install the
dependencies as outlined below, with the exception of replacing pip with
pip-2.7.
Pre-game
First, you'll need a config file. From your project directory, run:
cp src/config/config_example.py src/config/config.py
Head over to
https://YOURSLACKCHANNEL.slack.com/admin/settings
and enable IRC gateways, then go to
https://YOURSLACKCHANNEL.slack.com/account/gateways
and get your gateway, username, and IRC-specific password and plug them into your brand new config file.
Google API
Python Quickstart
Use the wizard at:
https://console.developers.google.com/flows/enableapi?apiid=drive
to get started creating your application and managing your auth flow.
Once the Google Drive API is enabled, go the the "Credentials" tab in the Developer's Console.
Add Credentials
Click "Add Credentials" and generate an API Key (Server Key) and an OAuth 2.0 Client ID (Other)
Download your generated clien_secret json file and rename it to "client_secrets.json" then place it in your project's root directory - PyDrive looks for this specific file in this specific place.
Virtual Environment
I would recommend running this in a virtual environment to keep your dependencies in check. If you'd like to do that, run:
sudo pip install virtualenv
Followed by:
virtualenv venv
This will create an empty virtualenv in your project directory in a folder called "venv." To enable it, run:
source venv/bin/activate
and your console window will be in that virtualenv state. To deactivate, run:
deactivate
Dependencies
To install all dependencies locally (preferably inside your activated virtualenv), run:
pip install -r requirements.txt
To Run
From the project's root directory, run:
./serve
The first time you run this, a message in the console will ask you to paste a link into a browser's address bar and authorize the application to modify your Google Drive files. After you accept, you will see a code that should be pasted back into the console. After this initial authorization, the app will be connected to your GDrive account.
