URYShowImageGen

Python program for automatically generating show images.

The show image is created by selecting a background image (dark filtered image currently manually croped to a square of 800px by 800px), it then has a branding image applied which is designed for each style (e.g. OB, Speech, Music, News).

Installation

Clone this repository. Run python3 -m venv venv, and venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt.

Usage

See run.sh for an example of running as a cron job task.

Parameters

--apikey The API key from MyRadio that can retrieve all shows for the current term, and set show images.

--debug Logs loads to the screen to show you what it screwed up.

--outputdir Where this script will create the images on the local filesystem.

--apidir MyRadio API requires images to already be on the API server, if this is different from --outputdir, enter this.

Docker

Docker will run the daemon.py file, calling the ShowImageGen once an hour.

• Build the image: docker build -t show-image-gen .

• Set the .env file. As DEBUG_MODE and DRY_RUN are booleans, set 1 for true, 0 for false.

• Run the container, mounting the ouput directory to /tmp/showimages (not needed with direct myradio uploads), and adding the .env, i.e.:

  docker run -v /mnt/showimages:/tmp/showimages --env-file .env -d --name show-image-gen show-image-gen
