The app uses the Web-Scraping technology to interact with the impfterminservice.de page and check if there are corona vaccine appointments available. If so, it will send an email and also attach all relevant screenshots.
Because https://impfterminservice.de/ needs JavaScript and to ensure maximum compatibility, the app uses a recent Chrome browser to perform the tasks.
cp .env.example .env
cp config-example.yml config.yml
vi .envEdit config.yml and .env.
Because this app uses Selenium and Chrome, a docker based environment is required.
docker-compose run --rm appTo rebuild the docker image, do:
docker-compose build appWhen doing a docker-compose up this app will run in a service mode.
You need to supply valid parameter in your .env file, the docker-compose will
use that to configure the app accordingly.
When running as a service, the app will do a retry every 60 seconds and will just exit after the first successful attempt.
docker-compose up -d You can monitor the progress using
docker-compose logs -fThis will show something like:
