-## Requirements
-
-### Env file
-
-Make rules:
-* [.] add make rules python cronjob for servers
-  * [.] make `.env`: `setup_server_ip_sync_dotenv_file`
-  * [.] make venv and install requirements: `setup_server_ip_sync_python_env`
-  * [ ] add oneliner to cron `<path-to-venv>/python server-ip-sync.py --upload`
-
-```makefile
-" https://stackoverflow.com/a/9578959
-addcron:
-    CRONENTRY=
-    { crontab -l; echo "* * * * * path-to-venv/python >> ip.log" } | crontab -
-
-add_github_token:
-    echo "Visit github to generate new token:"
-    echo "    github.com/settings/tokens/new"
-    @echo "Enter github token: "; \
-    read token; \
-    echo "Your token is ", $$(token)
-```
-
-
-* [get token](https://github.com/settings/tokens/new)
-* refernce [API description](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/gists#update-a-gist)
-
-```python
-# template .env file
-token='ghp_<your gist token>'     # github token
-gist_id='abc...123'               # gist id
-filename='<filename-in-gist>'     # nickname for the server (i.e iot-hub-server)
-```
-
-### python requirements
-
-Install [python-dotenv](https://pypi.org/project/python-dotenv/)
-
-```
-# %pip install python-dotenv
-```
-
-These imports are necessary for reading and updating gists
-
-```python
-from dotenv import load_dotenv
-# in-built libraries
-import requests
-import json
-import os
-```
-
-
-### Reading `.env`
-
-```python
-# read env vars
-# S/O https://stackoverflow.com/a/61029741
-load_dotenv()
-token = os.getenv('token')
-gist_id = os.getenv('gist_id')
-filename = os.getenv('filename')
-```
-
-
-### write current machine ip address to gist file
-
-```python
-# fetch external ip address
-# S/O https://stackoverflow.com/a/36205547
-ip_addr = requests.get('https://api.ipify.org').content.decode('utf8')
-
-# request gist changes
-# S/O https://stackoverflow.com/a/65761251
-headers = {'Authorization': f'token {token}'}
-request_url = f'https://api.github.com/gists/{gist_id}'
-request_data = json.dumps({'files':{filename:{"content":ip_addr}}})
-
-r = requests.patch(
-    url=request_url,
-    data=request_data,
-    headers=headers)
-```
-
-
-### Read gist file content
-
-```python
-### fetch gist file content
-
-headers = {'Authorization': f'token {token}'}
-request_url = f'https://api.github.com/gists/{gist_id}'
-request_data = json.dumps({'files':{filename:{"content":ip_addr}}})
