Project description
Howler Monkey
A slack messaging authentication and interfacing system for the DTG
Intended to allow for automated messaging to our DTG slack group at a controlled endpoint.
Authentication is provided by only allowing connections over local unix domain sockets on a puppy VM. As such any user that can gain access to the host in order to connect must have sufficient monkeysphere auth and thus be a member of the DTG or at least equivalently privileged. Unauthenticated access by minor services can also be mediated by co-locating them on the same host.
Design
Server
Python process
Loads config from file:
Slack Address (includes token)
Unix socket address
Accepts JSON payloads over unix socket (via standard handler, poss UnixStreamServer)
Sends messages to slack via requests (steal code from dtg-lunch-notify)
Checks response codes?
Sends JSON back over socket detailing if there were any errors?
Runs as a daemon (with files for systemd?)
Client
Python Library
Provides either a single call interface or object interface
Single call of style message(text, channel=None, username=None, icon_url=None, icon_emoji=None)
Or object which lets you store all the varargs params at init and then just call send(text)
Steal more code from dtg-lunch-notify
