Install 🐋

Clone the repository:

git clone git@github.com:nidup/twitter-makeup-service.git

Build the Docker image:

docker-compose build

Configure the Credentials 🔐

Twitter Make Up allows to programmatically change your profile on your behalf.

To configure it, you need to generate Twitter credentials.

Follow the Twitter guide (OAuth 1.0a).

Then create a secrets.ini file with your credentials in the config folder:

[CREDENTIALS]
consumer_key = YourConsumerKey
consumer_secret = YourConsumerSecret
access_token = YourAccessToken
access_secret = YourAccessSecret

Configure your Make Up 🐴

Drop your pictures in config/images

Edit the file makeup/scheduler.py, here are a few examples:

# status
schedule.every().day.at("07:30").do(change_display_name, name='Nicolas Dupont ☕')
schedule.every().day.at("08:30").do(change_display_name, name='Nicolas Dupont 💻')
schedule.every().day.at("13:39").do(change_display_name, name='Nicolas Dupont ☕')
schedule.every().day.at("13:55").do(change_display_name, name='Nicolas Dupont 💻')
schedule.every().day.at("19:00").do(change_display_name, name='Nicolas Dupont 📝')

# banner
schedule.every().day.at("06:30").do(change_banner_picture, path='config/images/banner-night.jpg')
schedule.every().day.at("21:00").do(change_banner_picture, path='config/images/banner-morning.jpg')

# profile
schedule.every().friday.at("18:30").do(change_profile_picture, path='config/images/profile-weekend.jpg')
schedule.every().monday.at("07:30").do(change_profile_picture, path='config/images/profile-week.jpg')

# description
week_description = "Co-founder and CPO at @akeneopim\
\n❤️ crafting products to create value for users and businesses\
\n💬 about #product, #engineering, #teamwork, #learnings"
weekend_description = "Co-founder and CPO at @akeneopim\
\n❤️ crafting products to create value for users and businesses\
\n💬 about #product, #engineering, #indiehacker"
schedule.every().friday.at("18:30").do(change_description, description=week_description)
schedule.every().monday.at("07:30").do(change_description, description=weekend_description)

I'll extract the scheduling configuration to make it easier to customize
