Hugvey / Pillow Talk

• Panpoticon
  • Fancy nickname for the web interface that allows altering the story and running the individual Hugveys
• Voice
  • Lyrebird voice syntehsis API wrapper. Set the oAuth token using a token generated here
• Client
  • Individual Hugveys that stream their mic output and play audiofiles trough the Panopticon. Communication with the server is done through zmq
  • Connect with them trough hugvey1.local etc (1-25).
• Central Command/server
  • One server to rule them all. Start individual threads/subprocesses for the individual Hugveys. The Panopticon is started when starting the server.

Server

Run the server: python hugvey_server.py --config server_config.yml

Panopticon

The server also integrates the panopticon, the monitoring & administration interface to Hugvey.

Client

To run it: python hugvey_client.py -c client_config.yml

Development

The Panopticon uses gulp to compile SASS into CSS, and to set up browser-sync for css & js. For now, no js user facing dependencies are managed trough node/npm.

After starting the server:

cd www
gulp

To run a command on all hugveys:

fab -H rubenvandeven.com,saclab@projects.rubenvandeven.com -- uname
