pialert2spaceapi

This is a very simple (and not very smart) project which reads the PiAlert database and exposes a SpaceAPI endpoint with the current status of your hackerspace (or makerspace or any other space).

Lots of values are hardcoded for now.

Setting up the development environment

The quickest way to setup the development enviornment is using dotenv and Nix. Run direnv allow in the root directory of the project and everything will set itself up. You also need a working Docker installation.

Alternatively, you may need to install rustup, cargo, and the cross crate individually.

Building

To build, use cargo build --release.

To cross-compile to Raspberry Pi, use cross build --target=arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf --release.

Running

Just copy the pialert2spaceapi binary you find in target/release/ to the machine you want to run it on (use target/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf/release for Raspberry Pi). Also, copy the template spaceapi.json.

On the target machine make sure the binary, the JSON template, and the pialert.db are in the same directory, then run ./pialert2spaceapi. The endpoint is now listening on port 5000.
