This is a daemon that deletes your oldest tweets, but there are two huge limitations:
- You can't get API keys for this stuff from Twitter anymore, so unless you already have one, move on.
- The Twitter API only lets you get your most recent 3200 tweets, so use some other method to nuke yourself down to <= 3200 tweets, then this daemon can keep you below 3200 (the exact number to keep is configurable in the config file)
You probably don't want any of this, but I do, so yay.
This is how I run it:
- Take
sample_config.json
and put the relevant values in, put it somewhere asconfig.json
- Configure Docker to run twhittle (it's on Docker hub here) and add a volume where your
config.json
lives as/config
- Tell Docker to set the environment variable
TWHITTLE_CONFIG
to/config/config.json
