# rstream
Create your own lifestream, take control of your data. Example: http://themattmueller.com
## Requirements
* Ruby (tested with 1.8.7 and REE)
* Rails 3
* MySQL
* Cron (to poll for updates)
## Assumptions
You use one or more of:
* Twitter
* Foursquare
* del.icio.us
* Flickr
* Google Reader
You know how to create an application/get an api key from sites requiring it, authorize your user account, and retrieve the various oauth tokens involved.
## Setup
* Clone rstream and install gems using bundler:
git clone git@github.com:mattmueller/rstream.git
bundle install
* Copy config/database.yml.example to config/database.yml - modifying with your database credentials, migrate:
rake db:migrate
* Copy config/settings.yml.example to config/settings.yml - fill out the various options (leave account credentials blank to ignore it)
* Run historic polling to go back in time and get as much data from services as possible (may take a while) from the console:
DeliciousBookmark.get_historic_bookmarks
FlickrPhoto.get_historic_photos
FoursquareCheckin.get_historic_checkins
GoogleReaderShare.get_historic_shares
TwitterStatus.get_historic_statuses
* In your crontab, set entries for the services you want to poll and the intervals at which you want to poll them, in this case they are combined into a single bash file that is invoked every 5 minutes:
#!/bin/bash
cd /path/to/app/root
RAILS_ENV=production script/rails runner "DeliciousBookmark.get_new_bookmarks"
RAILS_ENV=production script/rails runner "FlickrPhoto.get_new_photos"
RAILS_ENV=production script/rails runner "FoursquareCheckin.get_new_checkins"
RAILS_ENV=production script/rails runner "GoogleReaderShare.get_new_shares"
RAILS_ENV=production script/rails runner "TwitterStatus.get_new_statuses"
*/5 * * * * sh /path/to/above/script.sh
* Deploy: obviously if you want this available on the web you'll need to deploy it.
