The easiest way to run this application is if you have Docker installed and running on your machine.

Configuration

Create your .env.local from .env.dist with:

• AWS_KEY=<YOUR_AWS_KEY>
• AWS_SECRET=<YOUR_AWS_SECRET>
• AWS_SNS_TOPIC=<YOUR_SNS_TOPIC>
  • Eg: arn:aws:sns:eu-central-1:<123456678>:<TOPIC_NAME>

💡 For your AWS credentials you will need at least AWS::AmazonSNSFullAccess policy

It works with IFTTT

If you have IFTTT and wants to blink your lights or maybe play music at your home when new spots are available, just create a WebHook at https://ifttt.com/maker_webhooks and change your environment variables to:

• IFTTT_WEBHOOK_ENABLED=1
• WEBHOOK_KEY=<YOUR_KEY>
• WEBHOOK_EVENT_NAME=<YOUR_EVENT_NAME>

Setup the application

$ make setup

Check if there is any Anmeldung einer Wohnung available

$ make run

The application runs the command every 5 minutes, if you want to change that just change the env variable WAIT_TIME to your desired time (seconds) at .env.local.

Background

If you want to keep it running from a server overnight or days just use the script bin/run with the following command:

• Run script does not use Docker, if you want to run it on Docker please change the script before execution.

$ nohup /app/bin/run > /app/var/log/run.log 2>&1 & echo $! > /app/var/save_pid.txt
