🐝 honeybee(1) — General Commands Manual, but make it group chat 🐝

okay so bestie, welcome to honeybee(1) from the General Commands Manual — yes, we're doing Unix but make it cute. 💅

💖 NAME 💖

Make calls on linux using borogove sdk — that's literally the whole vibe. 🐝✨

🌟 SYNOPSIS 🌟

To start the call daemon:

honeybee [options]

Then use honeyctl to use the daemon. See honeyctl(1). 🫶

🎀 CONFIGURATION 🎀

Make a config in your $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/honeybee/config.json:

           {
                "username": "test@example.com",
                "password_eval": "gopass -o websites/example.com/test@example.com | tr -d 'n'"
           }

okay so the password_eval's value will be evaluated using your /bin/sh shell. The command's standard output will be your account password. In this configuration example, our password is encrypted on disk and we use gopass to decrypt our password. Most password managers will append 'n' to the end of your password when printing to stdout. If your password does not have a 'n' at the end of your password, remember to trim the 'n' special character using the tr command. 😭💖

🦋 HOOKS 🦋

Hooks are user defined scripts that run during certain events. You can assign a hook for "start_call, incoming_call, end_call, online, offline" events. Hooks are to be placed in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/honeybee/. If there is a jabber id associated with the hook type, the jabber id will be passed in as the first argument to the script. Make sure your hooks have the executable bits set. 👑✨

For example, here is my incoming_call hook at $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/honeybee/incoming_call:

#!/bin/sh

notify-send "Call from $1"
