busyboy

Console application to display various information on BUSYBar.

Installation

uv tool install busyboy

Configuration

Both variables are required:

Variable Meaning
BUSYBOY_HOST Hostname or IP of the bar, e.g. 10.0.4.20
BUSYBOY_TOKEN API token for the bar

--host and --token override them for a single invocation.

Usage

export BUSYBOY_HOST=10.0.4.20
export BUSYBOY_TOKEN=your-token

# Show a message on the front display
busyboy text "BUILD OK"

# In colour, disappearing after 30 seconds
busyboy text "deploy failed" --color red --timeout 30

# Take it down again
busyboy clear

Text stays on the display until it is replaced, cleared, or its --timeout expires. Anything too wide for the 72x16 front display scrolls; pass --scroll-rate 0 to switch that off.

Successful commands print nothing and exit 0. Failures print one line to stderr and exit 1. Use --verbose to see the underlying requests.
