belugasnooze pi client

A pi based wake up light sunrise alarm clock

The backend pi client that executes instructions from belugasnooze.com, powered by staticPi.com
See the frontend Vue & Typescript site source here

Built in Rust, using SQLite
_{See typescript branch for original, now not maintained, typescript version}

Required Hardware

1. Raspberry pi - designed for, tested, and fully working, a Raspberry pi zero w
2. Pimoroni Blinkt! led strip

Required services

1. staticPi - the simple and secure messaging service

Suggested software

1. Docker - container runner

Suggested locations for directories required by belugasnooze

directory	reason
~/belugasnooze/	Location of the application
/ramdrive	tmpfs ramdrive

# addition to /etc/fstab
ramdrive /ramdrive tmpfs defaults,noatime,size=128K     0       0

Files that are required by belugasnooze

file	reason
./.env	environmental variables
ip.addr	ip address for private network
alarms.db	database location

suggested crontab

@reboot ip addr show wlan0 | grep -Po 'inet \K[\d.]+' > /ramdrive/ip.addr
* * * * * ip addr show wlan0 | grep -Po 'inet \K[\d.]+' > /ramdrive/ip.addr

ip address gets updated every 5 minutes, so write to a ramdrive rather than causing repetitive, eventually damaging, writes to the pi's SD card

cross build --target arm-unknown-linux-musleabihf --release

Untested on other platforms

Tests

Some test coverage, needs work

run all;

cargo test -- --test-threads=1 --nocapture

Watch for test that start some_prefix;

cargo watch -q -c -w src/ -x 'test some_prefix_ -- --test-threads=1 --nocapture'

Cargo watch

cargo watch -q -c -w src/ -x 'run'
