red-alert-listener

Requirements

1. red-alert-listener.conf.json is being searched under current working directory by default (can be changed by stating the path (can be relative) to the configuration file via -c flag).
2. JRE 21 (or newer)
3. Must have an Israeli IP address.
4. JAR can be downloaded through Packages → io.github.ashr123.red-alert-listener → Assets → red-alert-listener-<version>-jar-with-dependencies.jar

Capabilities

1. Display alerts as the Home Front Command produces them.
2. Make alert sound if the event contains areas of interest defined in red-alert-listener.conf.json.
3. Supports all official languages:
   • Hebrew (code HE)
   • English (code EN)
   • Russian (code RU)
   • Arabic (code AR)

Legal districts (and their translation) can be found by:

1. Running java -jar <downloaded-jar-file>.jar get-remote-districts-as-json -l <language code> | egrep -i "<district1>|<district2>[|...]"
2. Saving those districts to file like this: java -jar <downloaded-jar-file>.jar get-remote-districts-as-json-to-file -l <language code> [-o <your-file-name>.json] (the default file name is districts.json) and search in it as you may like.

Known bugs

• On Raspberry Pi 4 with Ubuntu 22.10, alert sound isn't working.
