Trigger DBus Desktop Notifications via WAMP

This example shows how to bridge WAMP and DBus.

The example allows to trigger Linux desktop notifications by publishing to a WAMP topic. This allows to show Linux desktop notifications on any number of Linux desktops. Kind of alert system.

Note: For DBus support, we will use txdbus, a native Python DBus binding for Twisted which does not depend on the glib reactor or libdbus Python bindings.

Prerequisites

You'll need txdbus installed:

pip install txdbus

Running on a single Host

Run the bridge with an embedded WAMP router

python bridge.py

and open

http://localhost:8080/

in your browser.

Running on multiples Hosts

On each host, start the bridge connecting to a central WAMP router

python bridge.py --router ws://myrouter.com

and open

http://localhost:8080/

in your browser on any host to send a notification that will pop up on all hosts.
