  • The RPI must be in bocal's network so it can access Redpanda

    • {"building":"<where>","firstname":"<name>","kind":"<in/out>","login":"<login>"}
• You can pre-fill the redis cache with

      • This can take a very long time, generate one tts per second to avoid Google rate-limit

QnA

Studs

• Q: Will the hallvoice use Usualname if I have one?
  • A: Yes! Hallvoice use 42API to get your Usualname from your login, if there is no Usualname find, legal firstname will be used and cached
• Q: I juste set a Usualname but the old legal firstname is still in use, how to "force" the hallvoice to use the my Usualname?
  • A: Firstname is cached in Redis, you need to ask the bocal in Slack #42paris_staff_it or Discord #staff_it to purge it.
• Q: I bought hallvoice, how to use it?
  • A: As written in Requirements: You can find an example PR here, also see custom/_Example.json
• Q: I want to change a song, do I have to buy hallvoice again?
  • A: No
• Q: What's the TTL (Time to live) for the cache?
  • A: TTL for redis cache is 6 month, the staff can change it in the config file
• Q: Code is garbage, can I improve it?
  • I guess... Yes you can? You can try to do a PR

Staff

• Q: I am the bocal, how to purge cache from a login?
  • A: From bocal's network, make GET call at http://<rpi-IP>/?purge=<login>
• Q: Something's f*cky, need to debug!
  • A: Logs can be found in folder logs/<date>-hallvoice.log
• Q: How to update?
  • A: Hmmm, Are you pisciner? A simple git pull should do the trick :)

Fun fact

• When redis cache is fully pre-filled:
  • it consume ~300M of disk space
  • 39888 TTS cached (2493 firstname * 16 welcome and goodbye message)
  • ~5300 login is used to cache firstnames
• Volume is at maximum in alsamixer
