A selfhosted way to create images with quotations
Contents
1. About
These programs creates an image with text upon it from either a fortune
file or a plain text file. You can read the blog post about it here.
2. License
This project is licensed under the MIT license. For the full license, see LICENSE
.
3. Prerequisites
These may already be installed on your system.
imagemagick
command-line tool for manipulating images.imagemagick
can be found on major Linux distributions.wget
command-line tool for downloading files.wget
can be found on major Linux distributions.
Optional
fortune
command-line tool for providing "fortunes".fortune
can be found on major Linux distributions.slugify
if you wish to have filenames that mirror the text of the quotation. I used slugify-cli, which is a node.js program.
4. How to use
-
If you wish to use your fortune file and get one quotation a day, use
fortune_image.sh
. As configured now, it will output one image to your$HOME
directory. -
If you wish to specify which fortune file to use, edit
Fortune=$(/usr/games/fortune)
to readFortune=$(/usr/games/fortune MyFortuneFile)
-
If you wish to use a plain text file and output all of the quotations at once to your home directory, use
all_fortune_image.sh
with the text file as the first argument. -
Note that you will have to edit the sizes on lines 23 and 30 to get different output sizes.
5. Todo
- TBH, I'm probably not going to clean this up a lot more; there are too many variables possible for me to account for all of them.
