I've been active on omg.lol ("the best internet address that you’ve ever had") for several months now, and have really been enjoying my stay. omg.lol provides a number of delightfully-simple services, and it ties them together with a friendly API.
|
||
|
||
=> https://home.omg.lol/ omg.lol homepage
|
||
=> https://api.omg.lol/ omg.lol API documentation
|
||
|
||
Last month, I made use of the Pastebin API to power near-realtime weather information on my omg.lol profile page:
|
||
|
||
=> /gemlog/2024-02-08-weather-profile-lol.gmi (Near) Realtime Weather on profile.lol
|
||
|
||
Last night, I crafted some quick GitHub Actions workflows to talk to the Now Page and Web endpoints and make updates to those pages with simple git commits.
|
||
|
||
## Benefits
|
||
This brings a few benefits:
|
||
* I can make changes without having to log in to the omg.lol dashboard
|
||
* I can write updates with an editor like VS Code instead of a tiny frame in a web page
|
||
* I'll preserve version-controlled histories of each page in case I break stuff
|
||
* And it opens the doors to additional automation capabilities down the road
|
||
|
||
## Process
|
||
I wound up with a pair of actions for each page.
|
||
|
||
### Fetch Now Page
|
||
The first periodically fetches the latest version of the page from the API and commits it to the repo (in case it gets modified outside of git):
|
||
```fetch-now.yml
|
||
name: Fetch Now Page
|
||
on:
|
||
schedule:
|
||
- cron: "* */4 * * *"
|
||
|
||
jobs:
|
||
fetch-now-page:
|
||
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
|
||
permissions:
|
||
contents: write
|
||
steps:
|
||
- name: Checkout
|
||
uses: actions/checkout@v2
|
||
- name: Fetch Now Page
|
||
run: |
|
||
curl --location --header "Authorization: Bearer ${{ secrets.OMG_TOKEN }}" \
|
||
"https://api.omg.lol/address/${{ secrets.OMG_ADDR }}/now" | \
|
||
jq -r .response.now.content > now.md
|
||
- name: Commit Now Page
|
||
uses: stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action@v4
|
||
with:
|
||
commit_message: 'fetch /now page'
|
||
file_pattern: 'now.md'
|
||
```
|
||
This will run every four hours, and uses `git-auto-commit-action` to commit new versions of `now.md` as needed.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
### Update Now Page
|
||
And the second workflow is used for sending a modified now page back to omg.lol:
|
||
```update-now.yml
|
||
name: Update Now Page
|
||
on:
|
||
push:
|
||
paths:
|
||
- 'now.md'
|
||
|
||
jobs:
|
||
update-now-page:
|
||
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
|
||
steps:
|
||
- name: Checkout
|
||
uses: actions/checkout@v2
|
||
- name: Update Now Page
|
||
run: |
|
||
request_body='{"listed": "1", "content": '"$(jq -Rsa . now.md)"'}'
|
||
curl --location --request POST --header "Authorization: Bearer ${{ secrets.OMG_TOKEN }}" \
|
||
"https://api.omg.lol/address/${{ secrets.OMG_ADDR }}/now" \
|
||
--data "$request_body"
|
||
```
|
||
This one is triggered by any `git push` with a commit which modifies the `now.md` file.
|
||
|
||
## Web Updates
|
||
I'm handling the web page updates in basically the same way, with the minor adjustment of needing to manage the web content, css, and custom head independently:
|
||
|
||
```fetch-web.yaml excerpt
|
||
- name: Fetch Web Page
|
||
run: |
|
||
response=$(curl --location --header "Authorization: Bearer ${{ secrets.OMG_TOKEN }}" \
|
||
"https://api.omg.lol/address/${{ secrets.OMG_ADDR }}/web" | \
|
||
jq -r .response)
|
||
jq -r .content <<< $response > web.md
|
||
jq -r .css <<< $response > web.css
|
||
jq -r .head <<< $response > web_head.html
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```update-web.yml excerpt
|
||
- name: Update Web Page
|
||
run: |
|
||
request_body='{"publish": true, "content": '"$(jq -Rsa . web.md)"', "css": '"$(jq -Rsa . web.css)"', "head": '"$(jq -Rsa . web_head.html)"'}'
|
||
curl --location --request POST --header "Authorization: Bearer ${{ secrets.OMG_TOKEN }}" \
|
||
"https://api.omg.lol/address/${{ secrets.OMG_ADDR }}/web" \
|
||
--data "$request_body"
|
||
```
|
||
|
