# arec-watcher

A daemon program that watches an upload directory for new completed uploads
from arec recorders and sends a notification to play-api to initiate
processing of the uploaded presentation.

## Setup

 * Clone the repo to `/opt/arec-watcher`
 * Create a python venv in the project root: `python3 -m venv env`
   (other names are possible but will cause some minor headaches)
 * Activate the environment: `source env/bin/activate`
 * Install dependencies: `pip install -r requirements.txt`

For development:
 * Run the program: `python3 -m watcher`

For production:
 * Copy `config.ini.example`to `config.ini` and set the proper parameters
 * Install the systemd unit file:
   `sudo cp arec-watcher.service /etc/systemd/system/`
 * Edit the unit file so the watcher runs as the same user that
   uploads arec recordings.
 * Activate the service: `sudo systemctl enable arec-watcher.service`
 * Run the service: `sudo systemctl start arec-watcher.service`
