# MemeLord79

MemeLord79 is a Meme Lord bent on posting images to Slack. 

Originally, the application was going to only be built into Github's Actions,

but then I changed my mind because a lot of prepwork needs to be done in the 

container to save on time, so I might as well just use Go and package it into

a stratch container.

## Size Matters

One of the thing that I've noticed, is that at the time of writing the 

application is slightly bigger than I'd like it to be, and I'm wondering if 

using another language could shrink down my footprint so the container gets

loaded into actions faster to save on build minutes. Another thing to contend

with is that we need to run this as fast as possible, so that way we don't take

up build minutes.

## go-git vs apk git

go-get is smaller than regular git. It increases the code footprint, but 

decreases the container size in the end.

## GitStore

MemeLord79 uses git as a datastore of sorts to persist data from one call to 

the next. I likely can get away without needing to do this, but I felt like it

was a neat thing to do, plus it should help reduce the amount of times I need 

to call Reddit's API as I can easily cache the results.

Specify the repository to use with the env  `MEMELORD_GIT_REPO`

## Authentication

Generate an RSA keypair. 

Put the public key in the git repo's deploy token section, and enable 

"Allow write access". This will allow MemeLord to use the git repository and 

use the "state" branch as a pseudo database.

The private key should be in the env  `MEMELORD_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY`

## Docker

The docker image provided will build using alpine, and then use scratch as the 

running image. UPX is used to make the binary smaller, and to help with making

the docker container more compact and faster to move across the wire.
