# survBot
version: 0.2
survBot is a small program used to track station quality channels of DSEBRA stations via PowBox output over SOH channels
by analysing contents of a Seiscomp3 datapath.
## Requirements
The following packages are required:
* Python 3
* obspy
* pyyaml
(the following are dependencies of the above):
* numpy
* matplotlib
to use the GUI:
* PySide2, PyQt4 or PyQt5
## Usage
Configurations of *datapath*, *networks*, *stations* etc. can be done in the **parameters.yaml** input file.
The main program with html output is executed by entering
```shell script
python survBot.py -html path_for_html_output
```
There are example stylesheets in the folder *stylesheets* that can be copied into the path_for_html_output if desired.
The GUI can be loaded via
```shell script
python survBotGui.py
```
### Docker
To run the program in a Docker container, first build the image:
```shell script
docker build -t survbot .
```
Then run the container:
```shell script
docker run -v /path/to/conf-dir:/usr/src/app/conf -v /path/to/output:/usr/src/app/www survbot
```
The directory `/path/to/conf-dir` should contain the `parameters.yaml` file, and the directory `/path/to/output` will contain the output HTML files.
### Configuration of the e-mail server settings
The e-mail server settings can be configured in the `parameters.yaml` file. The following settings are available:
- `mailserver`: the address of the mail server
- `auth_type`: the authentication type for the mail server (`None`, `SSL`, `TLS`)
- `port`: the port of the mail server
- `user`: the username for the mail server (if required)
- `password`: the password for the mail server (if required)
The `user` and `password` fields are optional, and can be left empty if the mail server does not require authentication. The `auth_type` field can be set to `None` if no authentication is required, `SSL` if the mail server requires SSL authentication, or `TLS` if the mail server requires TLS authentication. If the `user` or `password` fileds are set to `Docker` ore `ENV` the program will try to read the values from the docker secrets `mail_user` and `mail_password` or environment variables `MAIL_USER` and `MAIL_PASSWORD` respectively. Docker secrets are only available in Docker Swarm mode, i.e. if the program is run as a service.
