FOSDEM Recorder

A tool to schedule FOSDEM recordings and help you record the 5+ talks you wanted to attend at the same time.

Only for the impatient who can't wait for the official videos to be made available (usually this happens a few days after the event).

Installation

If you have Crystal 1.7+ installed on your system:

shards install
shards build
sudo cp bin/fosdem-recorder /usr/local/bin/fosdem-recorder

If you don't have crystal, you can also build it with docker:

docker run --name fosdem-recorder \
    -v $(pwd):/app crystallang/crystal:1.7.1 \
    sh -c "cd /app && shards install && shards build"
docker cp fosdem-recorder:/app/bin/fosdem-recorder fosdem-recorder
docker rm fosdem-recorder
mv fosdem-recorder /usr/local/bin/fosdem-recorder
