Simple RIFT event tracker

Written in Python. Just mirrors the RIFT web API 1:1 and does minimal formatting, nothing too fancy. Ugly CSS.

Requirements

• Python 3.5
• Yattag: pip install yattag , or on Ubuntu 16.10+, apt-get install python-yattag

Tested on Ubuntu 16.04.

Example

See: http://yaret.uK.to/

(different, much fancier tracker @ https://rift.events/)

Install

1. Clone the source code via git
2. Copy config.txt.dist to config.txt and customize the values as you like
3. Run events.py every minute via cron.

Quick Start Recipe

Deploy a new Ubuntu 16.04 VM. You will need to know its IP later. You may want your own domain name, but this document will not cover that nor DNS setup. Log in, become root, and run the following commands:

apt-get update && apt-get -y dist-upgrade
apt-get -y install git python python-pip python-requests nginx
pip install yattag
git clone https://github.com/chennin/python-rift-event-tracker.git
cd python-rift-event-tracker
cp config.txt.dist config.txt

Edit config.txt if you wish.

Run:

crontab -e

and paste the following on its own line:

* * * * * $HOME/python-rift-event-tracker/events.py

Now wait a minute and then browse to http://YOUR-IP/, and you should see it!
