iOS Dev Space Server Scripts

This repository houses automated scripts for iOS Dev Space server administration and maintenance tasks.

Scripts

WelcomeBot

A Swift script that automatically sends welcome direct messages to newly approved users on the iOS Dev Space Mastodon instance.

How it works:

• Checks for accounts created since the last run that have been approved
• Sends a personalized welcome DM to each new iOS Dev Space member
• Updates a timestamp file to track progress
• Runs automatically 3 times daily via GitHub Actions (8am, 2pm, 8pm UTC)

Requirements:

• Admin access to the iOS Dev Space Mastodon instance
• Mastodon API credentials (access token)

Running Locally

WelcomeBot

1. Create a .env file in the repository root:

   MASTODON_BASE_URL=https://iosdev.space
   MASTODON_ACCESS_TOKEN=your-access-token
   

2. Run the script:

   chmod +x WelcomeBot.swift
   swift WelcomeBot.swift

The script will:

• Read the last check timestamp from last_check_timestamp.txt
• Process new approved users
• Update the timestamp file after each successful message
