Bot which sends blinking gifs when disks fail.
We wanted to have a Telegram bot which notifies everyone when one of the disks in a RAID dies. The idea came up to use a stock image of the server and simulate the broken disk blinking light.
- Install dependencies
apt install python python-pip python-opencv imagemagick ffmpeg
pip install python-telegram-bot- Edit
config.json - Find a good stock photo of your server
- Add disk LED coordinates to
gifgen.py - Run the bot using
python telegram_bot.py
/statusretrieve the current status of all disks/demoget a demo gif with randomly broken disks (it needs some way of showing off its coolness, even when all disks are operational)
