Add one NHK EASY article to Instapaper every day.
Install dependencies with mix deps.get then install and run Redis:
brew install redis
redis-server
Create a file in the root directory called .env like this:
INSTAPAPER_USERNAME=yourusername
INSTAPAPER_PASSWORD=yourpassword
HOST=http://localhost:4000
Then run:
gem install foreman
foreman start -f Procfile.dev
You will then be able to see simplified NHK EASY articles at http://localhost:4000/{articleId} where articleId is for example k10010844631000. If you visit any NHK EASY article page you will be able to see this id in the url.
To deploy on Heroku click on the Deploy to Heroku button at the top of this readme. The only required variables are:
- INSTAPAPER_USERNAME
- INSTAPAPER_PASSWORD
- HOST
HOST is http://yourappname.herokuapp.com
There is an optional variable called TIMEZONE which by default is set to Europe/London. Valid options are :utc or a timezone name such as "America/Chicago". A full list of timezone names can be downloaded from https://www.iana.org/time-zones, or at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones.
The app will be deployed on a free dyno but it will require a hobby dyno to be up and running 24/7 which is important to let the quantum elixir library work like cron and schedule the job that puts the article on instapaper.
If you wish to test that articles can be pushed to Instapaper then run:
heroku run "iex -S mix" -a yourappname
NhkEasyToInstapaper.Pusher.push_to_instapaper
You should then see an article appear on your Instapaper app.
