docker-sm-automatic-restart

A docker image that alerts slack when an automated stream restart has taken place.

If you've provided a streams.json in the same directory as index.json or mount it as a volume into your container, this script will look to see if there is a stream that it can recreate from it. If it can, it will delete that existing stream from primary and recreate it.

requirements

• slack webhook url (https://api.slack.com/incoming-webhooks)
• node v10.16.3

deployment

The following environment variables need to be provided for this to work:

• SOURCE_URL the /api/sources endpoint in StreamMachine. (Example: http://streammachine_url/api/streams) If this endpoint is in a private network, then this script needs to either run within that network or have access to that endpoing.
• WEBHOOK_URL slack webhook URL. (Example: https://hooks.slack.com/services/LISAFRANK/BLAHBLAHUNICORNS124)

optional This can be set up to run as a regular cronjob on a machine (node index.js), or set up as a container running as a kubernetes cronjob.

development

The meat of the script is in index.js
