# chutney
A Raspberry Pi project for displaying the time, temperature and garage door status. A Unicorn HAT HD is used for a simple display.
## Dependencies
```
sudo raspi-config nonint do_spi 0
sudo apt install python3-pip python3-dev python3-spidev
sudo pip3 install unicornhathd
```
## Configuration
```
cp chutney.sample.cfg chutney.cfg
```
## Installation
```
sudo ./install
```
## Output
By default output will be in `/var/log/syslog`.
A separate log file can be used by creating `/etc/rsyslog.d/30-chutney.conf` containing:
```
if $programname == 'chutney' then /var/log/chutney.log
& stop
```
and then restart the rsyslog service:
```
sudo systemctl restart rsyslog
```
This log file can be rotated by creating `/etc/logrotate.d/chutney` containing:
```
/var/log/chutney.log
{
rotate 14
daily
create
missingok
notifempty
compress
delaycompress
postrotate
/usr/lib/rsyslog/rsyslog-rotate
endscript
}
```
