Java automation engine based on producers (channels) & consumers (actions)
The main goal is to automate useful tasks. You can control running channels using Desktop UI or lightweight web panel.
- Files
- Message Queues
- Price Finder
- Social Media
- Crawlers
- Job Seeker
- Server (Socket) Watchers
- Package Tracking
- Desktop Toaster
- Email Sending
- SMS Sending (Plivo)
- Slack messaging
For example, to receive Tweet Messages in your desktop (Toaster Message), polling every minute:
<taskerbox>
<org.brunocvcunha.taskerbox.impl.twitter.TwitterChannel
id="TwitterToaster" every="60000" consumerKey="(consumerKey)"
consumerSecret="(consumerSecret)"
accessToken="(accessToken)"
accessTokenSecret="(accessTokenSecret)">
<org.brunocvcunha.taskerbox.impl.twitter.TwitterToasterAction />
</org.brunocvcunha.taskerbox.impl.twitter.TwitterChannel>
</taskerbox>
To receive Hacker News (YCombinator) in your Gmail, also popping up a Toaster (polling every two minutes):
<org.brunocvcunha.taskerbox.impl.feed.FeedChannel
id="YCombinatorFeed" feedUrl="https://news.ycombinator.com/rss" every="120000">
<org.brunocvcunha.taskerbox.impl.email.EmailAction
smtpFrom="Taskerbox v0.1 <taskerbox@brunocandido.com>"
smtpHost="mail.brunocandido.com" smtpPort="587" smtpUser="taskerbox@brunocandido.com"
smtpPassword="(password)" enableTLS="true" email="brunocvcunha@gmail.com" />
<org.brunocvcunha.taskerbox.impl.feed.FeedToasterAction />
</org.brunocvcunha.taskerbox.impl.feed.FeedChannel>
To test if a specific URL returns an expected response, and send a message on Slack if it fails:
<org.brunocvcunha.taskerbox.impl.http.HTTPUptimeChannel
id="production" url="https://production-url/api/v1/status"
contains="false" filter="expected-content-in-response" every="300000" numTries="2">
<org.brunocvcunha.taskerbox.impl.slack.SlackAction
token="xoxb-xxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" iconEmoji=":see_no_evil:" slackChannel="#production"
username="production-status" messageOverride="Production Server is down. Please check https://production-url/"/>
</org.brunocvcunha.taskerbox.impl.http.HTTPUptimeChannel>
Create a XML configuration file with the desired channels and actions.
Example:
<taskerbox>
<org.brunocvcunha.taskerbox.impl.http.HTTPUptimeChannel
id="production" url="https://production-url/api/v1/status"
contains="false" filter="expected-content-in-response" every="300000" numTries="2">
<org.brunocvcunha.taskerbox.impl.slack.SlackAction
token="xoxb-xxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" iconEmoji=":see_no_evil:" slackChannel="#production"
username="production-status" messageOverride="Production Server is down. Please check https://production-url/"/>
</org.brunocvcunha.taskerbox.impl.http.HTTPUptimeChannel>
</taskerbox>
Create a Yaml file with the server configuration, that points the fileToUse
to the file created above.
Example:
server:
applicationConnectors:
- type: http
port: 8000
adminConnectors:
- type: http
port: 8001
fileToUse: /home/bruno/taskerbox.xml
Download the release JAR, and start using java -jar taskerbox.jar server /path/to/taskerbox.yml
.
It will start a HTTP server in the port specified to access: http://localhost:8000/static/index.html, with all the jobs configured in the XML file.
Taskerbox requires at minimum Java 7.
