Lecture capture scheduling engine

This repository contains a tool to schedule lecture capture recordings. It has the following features:

  • Ingest events to be scheduled from Google Sheets.
  • Respect lecturer opt-in/out preferences. (TODO)
  • Reconciles Opencast events with the schedule. (TODO)
  • Sets appropriate role-based access policies on Opencast events. (TODO)

Further documentation

Usage and API documentation may be built using tox:

$ COMPOSE_ARGS="-v $PWD/build/:/tmp/tox-data/artefacts/" ./tox.sh -e doc
$ xdg-open build/doc/index.html   # Linux
$ open build/doc/index.html       # Mac

Quickstart

This quickstart is an abbreviated form of the getting started guide from the main documentation.

The ./scheduler_development.sh script will build a containerised version of the tool and run it with the repository directory mounted read-only under /usr/src/app inside the container. As such you can have development-local configuration inside the repository.

When first running the tool, you will need to create some configuration. (See the "Configuration" section in the documentation for what is required.)

$ cd /path/to/this/repo
$ mkdir .scheduler
$ cp configuration-template.yaml .scheduler/configuration.yaml
# ... edit configuration, see below ...

Once configured, the scheduler can be run as follows:

$ ./scheduler_development.sh

The scheduler_development.sh script can be used to run the scheduler utility within a development Docker image. The repository directory is mounted read-only as /usr/src/app so that local modifications take effect.

Running tests

The tests may be run using tox:

$ ./tox.sh
