If you spot a bug or want to improve Sentinel 2 bot, make a pull request or post an issue!
The code is licensed under the MIT license. The images are Copernicus Sentinel data 2015-2016.
Brief guide on deploying Sentinel 2 bot:
-
Create a twitter app, obtain credentials for that app and place them in
secrets.env. -
Build the docker container with
docker build -t wildtreetech/sentinel2-bot . -
Launch with:
docker run -d --env-file=secrets.env wildtreetech/sentinel2-bot python /tmp/sentinel2.py forever 333
This will pick up the secrets for twitter from secrets.env and put the bot
into forever mode. It should post once an hour. The argument 333 is the
random seed used to pick locations. Every time you launch the bot you want to
change it. Otherwise it will post the same sequence of images as last time.
Currently the bot is deployed to getcarina and @betatim has the twitter credentials. For getcarina we need to use docker version 1.10.3.
