Configuration

SlackFeeder is configured with a toml file. The default location is /etc/slackfeeder.toml but can be changed with the SLACKFEEDER_CONFIG env variable.

[Slack]
token = ""

[Feed]
title = ""
id = ""
link.href = ""
link.rel = "self"
description = ""

[Auth]
enabled = true
htpasswd = ""

[Network]
host = "localhost"
port = 8080

Slack

Create a new Slack app here https://api.slack.com/apps?new_app=1. Grant the permission im:history, im:read, users.profile:read. Put the Slack OAuth access token in Slack.token.

Feed

A couple of fields used in the generated RSS and ATOM documents.

• Feed.title: is the title that will be shown in news readers.
• Feed.id: should just be a unique string.
• Feed.link.href: the URL of the SlackFeeder app.
• Feed.link.rel: self
• Feed.description

Auth

If auth is enabled, the option Auth.htpasswd must contain a bcrypt hash created by htpasswd.

$ htpasswd -B -C 10 -n <sername>
New password: <type password>
Re-type new password: <type password>
<password hash>

NixOS Deployment

• Add nix flake

{
    inputs.slackfeeder.url = "github:truh/SlackFeeder";
    outputs = { nixpkgs, slackfeeder, ... }: {
        nixosConfigurations.SERVER_NAME = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem rec {
            modules = [slackfeeder.nixosModules.default];
        };
    };
}

• NixOS sample configuration:

{
    services.slackfeeder = {
        enable = true;
        Slack = {
            token = "";
        };
        Feed = {
            title = "";
            id = "";
            link.href = "http://localhost:8080/";
            description = "";
        };
        Auth = {
            enable = true;
            htpasswd = "";
        };
        Network = {
            host = "localhost";
            port = 8080;
        };
    };
}
