Get notified when a new drop is available on Twitch

TL;DR (Arch Linux + PostgreSQL)

Install and initialize Postgres, then start the service:

sudo pacman -S postgresql
sudo -u postgres initdb -D /var/lib/postgres/data
sudo systemctl enable --now postgresql

Create a local role and database:

sudo -u postgres createuser -P ttvdrops
sudo -u postgres createdb -O ttvdrops ttvdrops

Point Django at the unix socket used by Arch (/run/postgresql):

POSTGRES_USER=ttvdrops
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=your_password
POSTGRES_DB=ttvdrops
POSTGRES_HOST=/run/postgresql
POSTGRES_PORT=5432

Linux (Systemd)

sudo useradd --create-home --home-dir /home/ttvdrops --shell /bin/fish ttvdrops
sudo passwd ttvdrops
sudo usermod -aG wheel ttvdrops
su - ttvdrops
git clone https://git.lovinator.space/TheLovinator/ttvdrops.git
cd ttvdrops
uv sync --no-dev

# Modify .env with the correct database credentials and other settings, then run migrations:
uv run python manage.py migrate

Install the systemd service from the repo:

sudo install -m 0644 tools/systemd/ttvdrops.socket /etc/systemd/system/ttvdrops.socket
sudo install -m 0644 tools/systemd/ttvdrops.service /etc/systemd/system/ttvdrops.service

Enable and start the service:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable --now ttvdrops.socket
sudo systemctl enable --now ttvdrops.service

curl --unix-socket /run/ttvdrops/ttvdrops.sock https://ttvdrops.lovinator.space

Install and enable timers:

sudo install -m 0644 tools/systemd/ttvdrops-backup.{service,timer} /etc/systemd/system/
sudo install -m 0644 tools/systemd/ttvdrops-import-drops.{service,timer} /etc/systemd/system/
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable --now ttvdrops-backup.timer ttvdrops-import-drops.timer

Development

uv run python manage.py createsuperuser
uv run python manage.py makemigrations
uv run python manage.py migrate
uv run python manage.py collectstatic
uv run python manage.py runserver
uv run pytest

Celery

Start a worker:

uv run celery -A config worker --loglevel=info
uv run celery -A config beat --loglevel=info --scheduler django_celery_beat.schedulers:DatabaseScheduler

Import Drops

uv run python manage.py better_import_drops <file|dir> [--recursive] [--verbose] [--crash-on-error] [--skip-broken-moves]

Import Chat Badges

Import Twitch's global chat badges for archival and reference:

uv run python manage.py import_chat_badges

Requires TWITCH_CLIENT_ID and TWITCH_CLIENT_SECRET environment variables to be set.

Create DB Backup

Create a zstd-compressed SQL dump (only twitch_ tables) in the datasets directory:

uv run python manage.py backup_db

Optional arguments:

uv run python manage.py backup_db --output-dir "<path>" --prefix "ttvdrops"
