KindleCalendar

Selenium automation to screenshot your calendar and view it on the Kindle browser

How to get started

  1. log in to your Pi (or whatever device you want to use)
  2. Clone this repo: git clone https://github.com/morrolinux/KindleCalendar.git
  3. Install python dependencies: cd KindleCalendar && pip install -r requirements.txt && cd ..
  4. Install systemd user services: cp KindleCalendar/config/systemd/user/* .config/systemd/user/
  5. Enable systemd services: systemctl --user daemon-reload && systemctl --user enable kindleserver && systemctl --user enable screenshot
  6. Install Firefox and login with your google account
  7. Visit Google Calendar just to make sure it loads correctly
  8. Install the selenium webdriver for firefox: instructions here
  9. Edit KindleCalendar/screenshot.py and set your Firefox profile path under profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile(...
  10. Install nodejs and npm sudo apt install nodejs npm
  11. Install project dependencies with npm: cd KindleCalendar && npm i

If everything went fine, you should be able to visit your Pi's IP address on port 8080 with any browser including Kindle, but make sure Javascript is enabled in browser settings.

Enjoy!
