Reminder-server

Installation

1) Clone this repo

2) Set up a systemd service

We set up a systemd service and a watcher to reload it whenever the reminder file changes.

In ~/.config/user/systemd/reminder.service:

[Unit]
Description=Reminder Server

[Service]
User=laurent
Type=simple
WorkingDirectory=/home/laurent/repos/reminder-server
ExecStart=/home/laurent/repos/reminder-server/run.sh
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
EnvironmentFile=/home/laurent/.config/pushover.conf

[Service]
KillMode=process
Restart=on-failure
StartLimitBurst=3
StartLimitInterval=60s
RestartSec=30

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

A watch and watcher service

in reminder-watcher.service:

[Unit]
Description=reminder restarter
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/systemctl restart reminder.service

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

and in reminder-watcher.path:

[Path]
PathModified=/home/laurent/Documents/reminders.json

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

And the env file at ~/.config/pushover.conf:

pushover_tok=xxx
pushover_key=xxx
reminders_file=xxx

Load everything

sudo systemctl enable ~/.config/systemd/user/reminder-watcher.path
sudo systemctl enable ~/.config/systemd/user/reminder.service
sudo systemctl start reminder.service
sudo systemctl start reminder-watcher.path

3) Install the emacs extension using QUELPA

For example:

(package! pushreminders :recipe
  (:fetcher github :repo "charignon/pushreminders" :files ("resources/pushreminders.el")))

4) Configure emacs to generate the reminders export when the reminders org buffer is saved

(push "/home/laurent/.emacs.d/private/laurent" load-path)

(defun sync-reminders ()
  (when (string= buffer-file-name "/home/laurent/reminders.org")
    (laurent/do-sync-reminders)))

(add-hook 'after-save-hook #'sync-reminders)
