gif-stream-server

A server which awaits webcam image uploads from gif-stream clients to generate .gifs and upload them to an AWS S3 bucket. Can be used together with HOFFNUNG 3000.

Requirements

• Go environment
• AWS S3 instance

Setup via Heroku

1. Make sure to set the GO_INSTALL_PACKAGE_SPEC variable to ./cmd/... to make sure Heroku builds both separate binaries.

   heroku config:set GO_INSTALL_PACKAGE_SPEC=./cmd/...
   

2. Configure the following environmental variables:

   AWS_REGION=eu-central-1
   AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=
   AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=
   AWS_BUCKET_NAME=
   

3. Install the Heroku Scheduler Add On and put up a job which executes worker every 10 minutes.

4. Activate both Dynos web and worker (put them to "ON" under "Configure Dynos").
