Spodcast

Spotify podcast manager because the Spotify desktop podcast management experience is not amazing.

Development

Because I like to spend money I am using remix. This unfortunately means you need to have a remix license to build this and you need to set your remix registry token in an environment variable called REMIX_REGISTRY_TOKEN.

Then, install all dependencies using npm:

$ npm install

Your @remix-run/* dependencies will come from the Remix package registry.

Once everything is installed, start the app in development mode with the following command:

$ npm start

This project uses firebase fairly heavily and when you run it locally you will end up starting a bunch of firebase emulators.

As I am writing this I am thinking about the fact that I have not set this up very well. It's very clunky. I will hopefully improve this and document it all better.

Locally I put it in .creds/ which is gitignored.

Configuration

Service Account

• Get a service account in firebase: https://firebase.google.com/docs/admin/setup#add_firebase_to_your_app
• Store it in a file in the repo called .creds/serviceAccountKey.json

That file is ignored by git. Locally this can be used to do asmin stuff in firebase.

In prod we load it from a config.

Spotify

You need to setup a Spotify app at https://developer.spotify.com/.

In the applications dashboard you can find the client id, the client secret and you can configured allowed redirect URLs. You will need one redirect for local development i.e. http://localhost:5000/callback. You will need another for your production url. Set those values and environment variables:

export SPODCAST_AUTH_CLIENT_ID="your-client-id"
export SPODCAST_AUTH_CLIENT_SECRET="your-client-secret"
export SPODCAST_AUTH_REDIRECT_URL="http://localhost:5000/callback"

Need these configured in firebase to work there:

firebase functions:config:set spodcast.spotify.client="${SPODCAST_AUTH_CLIENT_ID}"
 spodcast.spotify.secret="${SPODCAST_AUTH_CLIENT_SECRET}" spodcast.spotify.redirect="https://your-firebase-url/callback"

Cookies

export SPODCAST_SESSION_SECRET="your-secret"

firebase functions:config:set spodcast.session.secret="${SPODCAST_SESSION_SECRET}"

Firebase locally

This project will automatically load the firebase config when deployed. To control the firebase config locally you need to add the firebase configuration values to these environment variables.

export SPODCAST_FB_API_KEY=""
export SPODCAST_FB_AUTH_DOMAIN=""
export SPODCAST_PROJECT_ID=""
export SPODCAST_STORAGE_BUCKET=""
export SPODCAST_MESSAGING_SENDER=""
export SPODCAST_APP_ID=""
export SPODCAST_MEASUREMENT_ID=""
