Config files for my RPG Planets

Planet Jupiter Configurations

These are the configurations and themes I use for Old School RPG Planet, Indie RPG Planet, and the all-in-one RPG Planet.

This all started because Google announced the sunsetting of Google+ and the large RPG communities on Google+ started looking for places to go. People started collecting Old School Renaissance (OSR) blogs in a big spreadsheet and Ramanan S. transformed it into an OPML document.

I had run an version of the Old School RPG Planet in 2009 but shut it down in 2013. My main concern was that I had added people to the planet without their explicit consent and I didn't want to ask over 300 people for consent.

But with Google+ going down and me wishing for a comeback of the RPG blogosphere, here I am, running the Planet again (more than one!), and requiring the bloggers to apply for membership, thus solving the issue of consent.

If you ever feel like installing it all...

You need to get Planet Jupiter. I linked jupiter.pl in home/alex/bin/jupiter and this bin directory is in my PATH.

In the scripts below you'll note that I also add Perlbrew's bin path to my $PATH variable because I use Perlbrew to install the latest Perl. If you can run Jupiter using your system Perl, then there's no need for this.

My crontab calls two scripts every four hours. The first one updates the cache and the second one generates the HTML.

10 */4 *   *   *     /home/alex/bin/planet-update
40 */4 *   *   *     /home/alex/bin/planet-html

planet-update does the following:

#!/bin/sh
PATH=$PATH:/home/alex/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.32.0/bin
cd /home/alex/planet
jupiter --log=warn update indie.opml osr.opml other.opml alex.opml podcast.opml podcast-fr.opml jdr.opml

planet-html does the following:

#!/bin/sh
PATH=$PATH:/home/alex/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.32.0/bin
cd ~/planet
