For context, see the blog post about the whole setup.
Doorbot is a web server that manages access to Hacker School's door. It connects to a doorduino to unlock the door when a certain number is texted.
Built by me and J.J during Hacker School winter 2014. Also, shout out to Amy's buzzerbot9000 for the idea.
You'll need to bundle install
, and then foreman start
to start both the Twilio watcher and the web server.
You'll also need to create and run a shell script set_secrets.sh
, with the following API keys and whatnot.
export HS_OAUTH_ID=id
export HS_OAUTH_SECRET=secret
export HS_OAUTH_CALLBACK="http://localhost:5000"
export TWILIO_SID=sid
export TWILIO_TOKEN=token
export TWILIO_PHONE_NUMBER="human readable phone number"
export PASSWORD_REGEX="random string"
export PASSWORD_HUMAN="random string"
export HASH_SECRET="random string shared with doorduino"
Doorbot is designed to work behind firewalls, which is why it uses Twilio polling instead of callbacks. However, there's no reason you couldn't run it on a Heroku instance or something.
