Discuss: Image scraping #11

Acceptance Criteria

  • [ A strategy for populating images for groups ]

Description

"Image Coming Soon :)" has existed for over a year now. I've been hesitant to add any user-uploaded images as community-driven initiatives like this are very difficult to push for.

Rather, I think it would be neat to scrape the image from the given link. Since most groups are from facebook, this could be handled as a weekly or nightly job that fetches the image for each group.

What is still unknown is:

  • Where will images be stored (S3?)
  • Scraper libraries for rails?
  • How will this job be executed (K8s cron job?)
