# azblogfilter - Azure Blog Filter
## Description
Fetch and filter Azure blog posts (announcements and updates) based off of interests.
Why? Because I am interested in getting Azure news, but the cloud is a big (and noisy) place. I only want the news I care about most.
## Installation
You can get the binary from the [latest release](https://github.com/trstringer/azblogfilter/releases).
Otherwise, if you want to run from trunk you could git clone this repo and `make install`.
If you are a systemd user, you can install a systemd unit and timer to routinely check for blog updates by running `make install-systemd`.
## Usage
azblogfilter filters blog posts either by a cached value (good for the usage of "what are the new blog posts that have been published since I last checked?" This is the mechanism used in the systemd service). Or it can use `--since` to go back in the past for blog posts without using cache. The `--since` parameter takes a systemd time span (`man 7 systemd.time`). E.g. to get all blog posts in the past 3 days you could specify `--since -3d`.
```
Filter posts by keywords and categories.
You can also specify the time filter by using
a built-in caching mechanism or by specifying
the time manually
Examples:
Get all blog posts in the past 7 days.
$ azblogfilter --since -7d
Get all blog posts since last run that have
Kubernetes or Linux in the title.
$ azblogfilter --cache --keywords "kubernetes,linux"
Get all blog posts that have Linux in the title or
have the DevOps category.
$ azblogfilter --cache --keywords linux --categories devops
Usage:
azblogfilter [flags]
Flags:
--cache use cached value
--cache-location string location for cache (default "~/.azblogfilter")
-c, --categories string categories filter (case insensitive)
--config string config file (default is $HOME/.azblogfilter.yaml)
-h, --help help for azblogfilter
-k, --keywords string keywords filter (case insensitive)
-o, --output string output format, json or csv (default "json")
-s, --since string filter post with systemd time (man 7 systemd.time)
-v, --version get version
```
### Config
azblogfilter uses a config-based filtering mechanism. The config file (optional) is located at `~/.azblogfilter.yaml`. It should be a list of `keywords` and `categories`.
**Keywords** filter the Azure blog entries by title. **Categories** filter the blog entries by category/tag. Here is a sample config:
```yaml
keywords:
- linux
- kubernetes
- postgres
- github
- devops
- repo
- pipeline
- container
- storage
- blob
- virtual machine
- aks
categories:
- devops
- developer
- announcements
```
## Notifications
I use `dunstify` for notifications. If you run `make install-notify` it will place this script in a path location. It is used, for me, from a systemd unit to notify if there is a new blog entry.
## Development
#### Create a release
1. Add changes to `./CHANGELOG.md`.
1. Change the version in `./cmd/version.go` (leave `LOCAL`, just change the `major.minor.build` part).
1. Push to upstream: `git add . && git commit -m "commit message" && git push origin master`.
1. Run `make release` to create the git tag.
1. Push to upstream: `git push --tags origin master`.
