Nagbot

Nagbot

A bot for automagically sending messages to Owncast chat, at specified intervals. It only sends messages while you're streaming.

Create a config.py

owncast_url = '<url>'  # The URL of your Owncast server
auth_bearer = ''  # The API access token for your nagbot. You'll need to create one in the Owncast admin panel.
logfile = 'nagbot.log'  # Logfile
nags = ['this is a message', 'this is another message']  # A list of messages to be cycled through
interval =  # The interval, in seconds, between messages. It's an integer, so no quotes.

source env/bin/activate
