• Prefect

  3 6,394 9.9 Python

  The easiest way to automate your data

  

  Project mention: Hi, how can I do pipeline automation? | reddit.com/r/learnpython | 2021-04-18

  If you are just starting out or new to doing automation, I would look at just python scripts executed with CRON if on Linux/Mac or Windows Task Scheduler if on Windows. But you'll need bash (Linux/Mac) knowledge or DOS/batch knowledge (Windows). Then graduate to using frameworks. Since you didnt specify what types of jobs you want to automate, for general purpose needs, I would look at a class of frameworks called task orchestration frameworks or workflow management libraries. I would highly recommend dagster as it comes with a native scheduler so you would be free from having to use CRON or Windows Task Scheduler. Other options include prefect, but if you want its other features like its scheduler and web GUI, you'll have to mess with docker. That's what's nice about dagster, it all works out of the box without need for non-Python dependencies.

  Project mention: Suggestions for automatic self-hosted database backups? | reddit.com/r/selfhosted | 2021-06-09

  Personally I don't like AWS, too confusing cost calculation. See my other comment, I ended up using a cron job running mysqldump, upload to Backblaze B2 for backups (10GB free), healthchecks.io for monitoring the cron job (free) and notifications.

  Project mention: Ask HN: How to find sponsors for my open source projects? | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-05-28

  I think that most companies that sponsor projects are companies that are using the projects. IIUC https://github.com/nidhaloff/igel is your most popular project. Who is using it?

  Don't expect the companies to pay. You can not force them to pay. It's a project with a MIT license. (Perhaps this is obvious for you, but a few days ago someone posted a rant by another developer because some companies were using his MIT-license project and only making a $500 annual money contribution.)

  I think one possibility is to write blog post about examples of using the project to solve interesting problems. It's important that they are interesting to get traction here and in other platforms. At the bottom, add a remake explaining that you are the main developer of the project and you'd like sponsors. (I can't guaranty that this will work.)

  Also, this helps as an extended documentation of the project and to get more traffic from google and to get more users. All of that can help to increase the user base and hopefully find an sponsor. (I can't guaranty that this will work.)

• Errbot

  1 2,496 6.5 Python

  Errbot is a chatbot, a daemon that connects to your favorite chat service and bring your tools and some fun into the conversation.

  

  Project mention: A (non intelligent) chatbot multi-interface and distributed as a personal information manager. | dev.to | 2021-02-03

  Some limitations: if I'm on the tramway I'd like to send a Telegram message to my bot, but when I'm on a terminal, maybe I'd prefer to interact using IRC or Slack, if I'm in front of my desktop. Six years ago somebody asked about this in the Google+ group (now disappeared) and later somebody asked for this in the GitHub issues forum Support multiple backends in one instance #1137. But no advances on this matter appeared.

  I like pyLoad more, has a webinterface and can run inside docker on a server. So it can download even when my pc is turned off. Used some greasemonkey browser scripts to get Click'N'Load working. I don't use it anymore though, i completely stopped OCH downloading.

• Mycodo

  Project mention: Experience/Opinions on Aerospring? | reddit.com/r/aeroponics | 2021-05-14

  There isn't anything I could recommend and I haven't searched for new and exciting aeroponic systems in a while. There was someone posting here for a while (/u/bifarm I think) that designed a system and was selling them at bifarm.com which seemed kind of cool. I don't think they're selling them anymore however but I'm not sure. Their site is still online. If it doesn't have to be aeroponic then the developer of "mycodo" has a cool automated system build which you can find here: https://github.com/kizniche/Mycodo. He actively develops the software and is very helpful if you are interested in building your own system and using the software.

  I'm writing a Python program that makes an RSS post to a local RSS file after a file is added. I'm looking at this link, and I'm confused what argv[3]: Show indexer ID looks like. Is it based off of IMDB, or specific to Medusa? If so, how can I get the show title from it? Thanks.
