org-automation-service

A Docker/Dropbox/webhook/emacs based service for automating updates to org files.

• Spins up a container configured with Dropbox.
• Starts serving HTTP requests on port 9010.
• Hitting /hooks/org-todo?file=FILE&search-string=STRING will
  1. Open ~/Dropbox/org/FILE
  2. Search for STRING in the file
  3. Trigger org-todo which cycles the todo state
  4. Save the buffer

Running the container

The first time you start the container, you'll have to authorize access to the dropbox account by visiting a link shown in the terminal.

Important note: The account you are logged in to in the browser will be the account associated with the container.

You can avoid this step by starting/stopping the same container (i.e. not use the --rm option for docker run). See ./start.sh.

Triggering an org-todo

curl "http://HOST:9010/hooks/org-todo?file=work.org&search-string=Coffee"
