rn

A Go implementation of Right now.

Install

Linux

Usage

Publish what you're up to right now.

rn

A git repository is created at ~/.rn and each message is stored in a Git commit. Markdown is supported 😆 If you add a remote to the Git repository in ~/.rn, it will automagically push changes there. That's a simple way to back up your messages. It's easy to check the status of your repository: git -C ~/.rn log.

Publish

If you want to publish your log online, pass -p. It uses a scp-like interface. Here's how I publish to vvvvvvaria.org/~decentral1se/rn/.

rn -p varia.zone:public_html/rn

You'll need to configure your SSH client beforehand.

eval $(ssh-agent -s)
ssh-add ~/.ssh/<ssh-secret-key-part>
ssh-add -L # see loaded keys

And have a matching ~/.ssh/config entry.

Host varia.zone
  Hostname varia.zone
  User decentral1se
  Port 22
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/<ssh-secret-key-part>

A simple Nginx configuration on the server-side might be the following.

server {
  listen 80 default_server;
  listen [::]:80 default_server;
  root /var/www/html;
  index index.html;
  server_name _;
  location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
  }
}
