Erlang bot for FreeFeed.net

Build and deploy

git clone https://github.com/yashrk/erlfrfbot
cd erlfrfbot
wget https://github.com/rebar/rebar/wiki/rebar
chmod +x rebar
./rebar compile
cd rel
vim files/sys.config # About config file see below
../rebar generate

That's all. Now you have a ready to work Erlang release of erlfrfbot in $PROJECTDIR/rel/frfbot. You can copy it to your server and run or just run on the same machine.

What to edit in sys.config

 %% FreeFeed bot config
 {frfbot, [
           {user, "<YOUR_LOGIN_HERE>"},
           {password, "<YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE>"}
          ]},
 %% Scheduled tasks
 {erlcron, [
            {crontab, [
                       {{daily, {6, 00, am}}, {utils, habits_post, []}}
            ]}
           ]}

Change <YOUR_LOGIN_HERE> and <YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE> to your bot login and password. If you don't need scheduled tasks, comment out erlcron section, otherwise edit it.
