Introduction
When working on the bot, there were many features that I found I could add to Asterisk too. As I thought about it more, I realised that I could add a web interface too and email. So, I decided to bring it all together under on roof, to save duplication. These pages will be more feature centric than interface centric.
Reminder
Inputs
IRC
Jam is currently capable of scheduling IRC reminders. It could also be expanded to deliver messages via Asterisk, web, email and SMS. Need to add support for the Reminder DB.
Web
Create a web page to schedule reminders. Allow uploading wav files for Astersik or using Festival to convert text to speach.
Asterisk
Due to the limited nature of the Asterisk telephone interface, this is going to be Asterisk only.
Email can probably be processed via Jam
SMS
We can do something with this when we get a SMS gateway :-)
Outputs
IRC
Web
Asterisk
Email
SMS
Reminder DB
The centre of the universe! The place where reminderes are stored.
<ID>:<Type>:<Time>:<message>
ID - Unique reference number
Type - IRC, WEB, AST, EML, SMS
Time - Number of sends since the Epoch
Message - Message to be reminded
Jukebox
There is an ICEcast streaming server running on Hopper. The idea is to allow this to be user controllable with file uploads via HTTP and FTP, possible stream relaying and Web/Jam/Email/Asterisk control.
IRC
An IRC interface is under development using the XMMS2 PERL API. This is currently controlled by a bot called peel in #bobsbasement.
Current commands are:
!jb next
!jb prev
!jb info
!jb url
!jb help
Once bot is production ready, the bot will be merged into Jam.
FTP
The plan is to allow file uploads via FTP to be included into the playlist
HTTP
The plan is to have a web control panel which will also allow file uploads. This will probably be done with the PERL API and mod_perl.
Asterisk
The plan is to allow connection to the stream via the Bob's Basement Asterisk server, both as a client and a source.
Server monitoring
Server monitoring will be performed by the bot with alerts being send out via the various outputs.
Ping monitoring
Apache
MySQL
FTP
Asterisk
Postfix
Mailman
CPU usage
Memory useage
Disk usage
Bandwidth usage
Log file monitoring
Wiki Management
Another role of Jam is to manage the Wiki. This includes automatically updating meetings, updating ideas lists and making sure that all wiki pages are protected.
I'm currently considering two methods for doing this. One is to use the MediaWiki HTTP API. The other is to write to the database directly.
Protecting pages
The first step in protecting a page is to add "edit=autoconfirmed:move=autoconfirmed" to the page_restrictions field in the page table.
