Cabin Porn It

Set the current screen to a cabin from CabinPorn.com.

Default is set to the most recent picture, which it downloads and puts into a folder in the current directory.

PRs accepted but not expected.

Installation

Download cabin-porn-it.py to wherever you want, or clone this entire repository.

Run using python cabin-porn-it.py or see below for creating a cabin global alias.

If you get an error about bs4 missing:

ImportError: No module named bs4

Then you will need to install dependencies. If you do not already have the pip command, run:

sudo easy_install pip

Once pip is available, dependencies can be installed with:

sudo pip install requests beautifulsoup4

If you get an error about AppKit missing:

ImportError: No module named AppKit

Then you will also need to install Obj-C bindings:

sudo pip install pyobjc

Note that installing pyobjc will take a long time and appear to stall. Be patient!

Using Large Images

If you plan to use the large image flag, you will need to install pillow. Normally this can be done with:

sudo pip install pillow

If that does not work, try installing the source file and running python setup.py install.

Requirements: Python 2.7+, Mac OSX Mavericks

Automate

Alternatively, if you want to set it up to be automatic:

chmod a+x cabin-porn-it.py
ln -s $(pwd)/cabin-porn-it.py /usr/local/bin/cabin

This will allow you to type $ cabin whenever you, you know, want a new cabin. Note: If you set this up, the base dir will be relative to your home folder. Adding in an absolute path as the base directory will stop this from putting pictures into your base Pictures/ folder. For instance: $ cabin path=/Users/richard/Pictures/cabins.

Launchctl

On OSX, .plist files are the preferred way of running cronjobs - using the native launchctrl program.

If you want this to run automatically, copy the com.burntfen.cabin-porn-it.plist file in your ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ folder:

cp com.burntfen.cabin-porn-it.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/

Note that a symlink will not work, the file must be copied!

Edit the file by adding a <script>-r</script> line if you want a random photo, and change the integer number to whatever amount of seconds you want (3600 is one hour). Then load it with launchctl:

launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.burntfen.cabin-porn-it.plist

If you do this, the base directory needs to be an absolute path (see above), or permissions will most likely break and the script won't work.

For troubleshooting and more configuration options, see this excellent explanation of launchctl.

Crontab

If you want to use the old crontab, type: env EDITOR=nano crontab -e. From there, enter in * */3 * * * /path/to/cabin-porn-it.py. Save and you should be good: it'll check every two hours if there is a new picture for you or not. If you want a random picture, just add an -r at the end, of course.

Options

• -r, choose a random image from the current page
• -i, choose a specific image by the post id
• -l, limit images to images larger than 1024x748
• path=BASE_DIR, choose a directory for the photos to be put into
