A utility to fetch article requests from slack and generate pdfs for them, fully automatically.
## Running - Pure docker
> I recommend running with docker compose instead
### How to run - auto archiving mode
In this mode the program is launched as a docker container, in a headless mode. For persistence purposes a local storage volume is required, but that's it!
`docker run -it -v <your storage>:/app/file_storage/ auto_news`
You can specify additional parameters:
`docker run -it -v <your storage>:/app/file_storage/ auto_news debug` runs with debug values (does not write to prod db, does not send mails)
`docker run -it -v <your storage>:/app/file_storage/ auto_news upload` catches up on incomplete uploads to archive.
`docker run -it -v <your storage>:/app/file_storage/ auto_news reducedfetch` makes assumption about the status of the slack chat and greatly reduces the number of api calls (faster start up).
These parameters can be combined (mostyl for testing I guess)
Finally for manual file verification:
`docker run -it -v <your storage>:/app/file_storage/ -e DISPLAY=":0" --network host -v \$XAUTHORITY:/root/.Xauthority auto_news check` lets you visually verify the downloaded files. The additional parameters are required in order to open guis on the host.
### How to run - development mode
In this mode, a docker container is launched with an additional volume, the local code. You can test your code without the need to rebuild the image.
`docker run -it -v <your storage>:/app/file_storage/ -v <your code>:/code/ --entry-point /bin/bash auto_news`
You are droppped into a bash shell, in which you can navigate to the `/code` directory and then test live.
### Cheat-sheet Remy:
`docker run -it -v /mnt/Data/COSS/Downloads/auto_news.container/:/app/file_storage/ auto_news`
`docker run -it -v /mnt/Data/COSS/Downloads/auto_news.container/:/app/file_storage/ -v /mnt/Data/COSS/Development/auto_news/app:/code --entrypoint /bin/bash auto_news`
`docker run -it -v /mnt/Data/COSS/Downloads/auto_news.container/:/app/file_storage/ -e DISPLAY=":0" --network host -v XAUTHORITY:/root/.Xauthority auto_news check`
## Running - Docker compose
I also wrote a rudimentary docker compose file which makes running much more simple. Just run
A rudimentary docker compose file makes for much simpler command linde calls.
`docker compose --env-file <desired mode> up`
* For normal, `production` mode and `upload` mode, run:
All relevant passthroughs and mounts are specified through the env-file, for which I configured 4 versions: production, debug (development in general), upload and check. These files will have to be adapted to your individual setup but can be reused more easily.
`docker compose --env-file env/<desired mode> up`
For the debug env-file, you will likely want interactivity, so you need to run:

`docker compose --env-file env/debug up -d && docker compose --env-file env/debug exec auto_news bash && docker compose --env-file env/debug down`
* For `debug` mode, you will likely want interactivity, so you need to run:
`docker compose --env-file env/debug up -d && docker compose --env-file env/debug exec auto_news bash && docker compose --env-file env/debug down`
<!-- > Note:
>
> The `debug` requires additional input. Once `docker compose up` is running, in a new session run `docker compose --env-file env/debug exec bash`. The live-mounted code is then under `/code`. Note that the `DEBUG=true` environment variable is still set. If you want to test things on production, run `export DEBUG=false`.
-->
which should automatically shutdown the containers once you are done. (`ctrl+d` to exit the container shell). If not, re-run `docker compose --env-file env/debug down` manually.
> Note:
> The live-mounted code is then under `/code`. Note that the `DEBUG=true` environment variable is still set. If you want to test things on production, run `export DEBUG=false`. Running `python runner.py` will now run the newly written code but, with the production database and storage.
* For `check` mode, some env-variables are also changed and you still require interactivity. You don't need the geckodriver service however. The simplest way is to run
`docker compose --env-file env/check run auto_news`
