Deployment

Currently, I am running this is AWS EC2 instance (free tier).

The steps are outlined in the README.md.

You need to have these env vars present in your env before doing make build.

FROM_ADDR=...
EMAIL_PASSWORD=...
URL=https://www.bigbasket.com/pd/241600/tata-salt--iodized-1-kg-pouch/

These are the email id and the password for the account used by the service to send delivery alerts. I use the above URL to check whether there are slots (since I think salt is super important :P). So you can keep the URL as it is.

Add a subscribers.json file which is of the format: Note that email can also be a list of strings.

[
  {
    "city": "xyz1",
    "area": "xyz1",
    "email": "xyz1@abc.com"
  },
  {
    "city": "xyz2",
    "area": "xyz2",
    "email": ["xyz2@abc.com", "xyz3@abc.com"]
  }
]

You can add as many subscribers as you like (ideally ~5, since currently there is no concurrency). Alerts will be sent to these emails.

Note that the area string should be something which has a suggestion in the drop down.

After the above 2 steps, just do make build.

In AWS EC2, I need to download the zip of this repo & unzip first:

wget https://github.com/saubhik/bb-slotter/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip

before running the build.

Note that you might need to install docker in the EC2 instance - you can check the docs here.

After building the image, run the image using make run.

That's it.
