# Pythagoras
Local-run server which acts as a proxy between the moderation server, presentation client and subtitle scripts. This is a single-purpose ugly implementation with its sole purpose being the Richard Stallman lecture at TUL.
## Dependencies
- pyenv
- python virtualenv
- bun
## Installation
Clone the repository:
`git clone git@gordon.zumepro.cz:zumepro/pythagoras.git`
Install the dependencies:
`sudo pacman -S python-virtualenv`
## Running the app
Simply execute the **run** recipe in the Makefile to start the server:
`make run`
Note that run is also the default recipe. So `make` works too.
The run recipe should take care of everything for you... enjoy!
## Running translation server
To start translation server for subtitle translation, run:
`make libretranslate`
You can keep it running through multiple `make run`'s.
The makefile will pre-install everything if needed.
## Cleaning up the mess
If you wish to go back to a clean slate just run:
`make clean`
## Packing for production
To make an archive `pythagoras.tar.xz` in project root simply run:
`make pack`
## Usage
To connect to the WebSocket for receiving subtitles and messages, simply use the `/ws` endpoint, for example like this:
`
websocat ws://localhost:8000/ws
`
To push new subtitles onto the server, use the `/subtitles` endpoints. There are currently two different ones, and each produces different response type. Here are some examples:
- The first is `/subtitles/update_current`, which serves the purpose of updating the current sentence as it comes. Here is an example:
`
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/subtitles/update_current -H "Content-Type: text/plain" -d 'I love pushing '
`
- The second is `/subtitles/submit_sentence`, which is used to submit the next finished sentence. Here is an example:
`
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/subtitles/submit_sentence -H "Content-Type: text/plain" -d 'I love pushing sentences to servers!'
`
To control the server using commands, use the `/control` endpoint, for example like this:
- Poll the peehaitchpea server for the latest message to display:
`
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/control -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"command": "getselectedmessage"}'
`
- Change the state of auto-polling:
`
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/control -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"command": "setautopolling", "state": false}'
`
`
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/control -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"command": "setautopolling", "state": true}'
`
- Set the polling rate to a value (in seconds):
`
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/control -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"command": "autopollingrate", "rate": 10}'
`
## TODO
- Create a command for playing a video (the TED talk RMS likes to play at the beginning of his lecture)
