Random Slack Meme
Cron job to post a randomly selected meme (any picture really) to Slack through their webhook.
Images are moved to already-sent to avoid duplicate posting.
halverneus/static-file-server is used to publicly share the memes folder for Slack to download.
# Configure Slack webhook etc
cp .env.sample .env
# Schedule meme-posting!
docker-compose up --build -dWith default settings, server:4001/cat.jpg should pop up!
Or change permissions if you get Forbidden: chmod -R 755 memes
