aw-watcher-netstatus

An ActivityWatch monitor for observing the network connection status.

Purpose

On the internet, Wonderland is recursive, with rabbit holes opening up to yet more rabbit holes; you never stop falling.

—Henrik Karlsson

Librar𝘪𝘦𝘴 of Alexandria, brimming with knowledge, promise, culture; an unrelenting, expanding periphery; innumerable collections of untold riches; a source of wonder and awe—all a single keypress away. It's suffocating.

Installation

1. Install the module with pip. This will add aw-watcher-netstatus to your $PATH.

   pip install aw-watcher-netstatus
   

2. aw-qt can now find the module; to start it by default add aw-watcher-netstatus to the aw-qt.toml configuration file (find the location here), e.g.

   $ cat  $AW_DIRECTORY/aw-qt/aw-qt.toml
   
   [aw-qt]
   autostart_modules = ["aw-server", "aw-watcher-afk", "aw-watcher-window", "aw-watcher-netstatus"]
   

Development

1. Prerequisites: Clone the repository. Install Poetry.

2. Run poetry install in the root of the directory.

3. Start the ActivityWatch server in development mode:

   $ AW_PATH/aw-server --testing --verbose
   

4. Run aw-watcher-netstatus in development mode, this will connect to localhost:8080 by default.

   $ poetry run aw-watcher-netstatus --testing -v
   

5. Open a socket at that port; observe the logs produced by aw-watcher-netstatus, view the timeline at localhost:5666.

   nc -l -k 8080
