Spot the difference on the web.
Tired of clicking F5 waiting for a change on a web page? Define a list of pages to watch, and receive an email when something has changed.
Just run:
./run-docker.sh
To install it:
wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
sudo python3 get-pip.py
# if you want to install these modules for an unprivileged user, add --user and remove "sudo";
# if you want to upgrade the versions already present in the system, also add --upgrade
sudo pip3 install lxml
sudo pip3 install pytz
sudo pip3 install apscheduler
sudo pip3 install requests
sudo pip3 install sqlalchemy
sudo pip3 install tornado
git clone https://github.com/alberanid/diffido
cd diffido
./diffido.py --debugNow you can point your browser to http://localhost:3210/
You can also run the server in https, putting in the ssl directory two files named diffido_key.pem and diffido_cert.pem
You can edit the conf/diffido.conf file (Python syntax) to change the global settings; you almost surely have to configure the SMTP settings, at least.
Each schedule has its own web page GUI; the settings should be pretty self-explanatory, except:
- XPath selector: define which portion of a web page to consider
- minimum change: float between 0.0 and 1.0, which represent the minimum amount of the page (in percentage of number of lines) that has to be changed to send a notification; if left empty, any change will be notified
- crontab: a complete crontab definition, to specify the period of the check
See the docs/DEVELOPMENT.md file for more information about how to contribute.
- VueJS 2 for the webApp
- Vue Material for the UI components
- Tornado web as web server
- APScheduler to run the scheduled jobs
- Python 3
- Git to store the data
