Fortireleases Mastodon Bot

This code checks the Fortinet Firmware Updates RSS feed, looks for new entries, and posts a tweet for each at https://hacyderm.io/@fortireleases

Take this more-or-less current source and make your own Twitter bot, or do what you want with it. I did not invest a lot of time in this, sorry.

You'll need your own API keys from https://developer.twitter.com

Rough install process

  1. Get your own API keys from https://developer.twitter.com

  2. git clone this repo.

  3. cp config.py.sample config.py and add your API keys.

  4. Run python3 -m venv venv && source venv/bin/activate or whatever.

  5. Run pip install -r requirements.txt

  6. Edit main.py to your tastes, and run python3 ./main.py.

  7. If you're using this code for similar purposes, you can call run.sh via crontab or systemd.
