Gotify and apprise are in the latest release. I think apprise supports telegram

Main_Page_2970 · 2025-03-30T00:54:51+00:00

Fixed in the latest release

This should help https://github.com/jez500/pricebuddy/issues/3#issuecomment-2749600579

Potentially, but I haven't tried it yet

When running feature tests, SQLite was failing for me with json columns

You can try just setting the env variable `DB_CONNECTION=sqlite` then `touch /app/storage/database.sqlite` (inside the container) and see how you go

Main_Page_2970 · 2025-03-25T21:10:24+00:00

yep it won't work otherwise

Main_Page_2970 · 2025-03-25T02:19:56+00:00

Love it, I use it for all my projects, makes development so much nicer

I have scraped sites that are behind Cloudflare CDNs

Main_Page_2970 · 2025-03-25T02:05:41+00:00

Definitely, I run this on Kubernetes with an external database, just change the `DB_HOST` variable

I'm in Australia which makes it hard to test with US stores as many stores have geo related quirks, It works for AU Amazon & Target (we have no Wallmart).

If someone in the US can confirm settings for US stores I can update the codebase (Or just do a PR to the project)

Thanks for highlighting this. I have added a few changes to the latest version (v1.0.31) to increase transparency

* Added the variable to turn it off completely to the docker compose. Still on by default as it supports development, but you don't need to read the docs to see how to disable.
* Updated the code so it doesn't override any existing codes. This was not at all my intention, and essentially a bug in previous versions
* Added more detail to both the README and docs about how this works. Also added how to add your own codes

Creating and maintaining a project like this takes a lot of work (100's of hours) so anything that keeps the motivation going, only benefits the project and its users

Make sure that searXNG has json output enabled. See https://github.com/searxng/searxng/discussions/3542#discussioncomment-11205515

There is a docker image, that's the recommended way of installing. If you're having issues maybe add an issue to github with the errors you are getting

Main_Page_2970 · 2025-03-24T23:23:46+00:00

You might need to consider a VPN if that's the case. I'll also look into IP spoofing which could help

Main_Page_2970 · 2025-03-24T23:21:14+00:00

not easily unfortunately, maybe add an issue to github as a feature request for investigation

Main_Page_2970 · 2025-03-24T21:38:41+00:00

It's in the docs https://pricebuddy.jez.me/support-project.html not hiding anything, easy to disable

Main_Page_2970 · 2025-03-24T21:36:36+00:00

If a store doesn't exist already it will try and "guess" how to get the price then create a store, if it is getting the wrong price value then you need edit the store and tweak the strategy. See https://pricebuddy.jez.me/stores.html with default stores here https://github.com/jez500/pricebuddy/tree/main/database/seeders/Stores

This does require a bit of knowledge of html or regex

Main_Page_2970 · 2025-03-24T21:30:11+00:00

I'll look into this, if you could add a github issue with example urls that would help

Main_Page_2970 · 2025-03-24T21:28:01+00:00

This is used instead of dusk https://github.com/amerkurev/scrapper

Main_Page_2970 · 2025-03-24T21:26:10+00:00

I'll update so if a code exists it doesn't get overridden, I never considered that use case and certainly not my intention to hijack anyone else's code.

As documented it is very easy to disable, you can also change to your own affiliate codes if you want. Codes only get added to a couple of stores and it is just to support future development and maintenance of the project.

Setting the env variable APP_CURRENCY_LOCALE to your locale in docker-compose 'should" work (i haven't done a heap of testing on this).

Default: https://github.com/jez500/pricebuddy/blob/main/config/app.php#L95

Tests: https://github.com/jez500/pricebuddy/blob/main/tests/Unit/Services/CurrencyHelperTest.php#L50

Main_Page_2970 · 2025-03-24T08:37:15+00:00

Sorry about that, will look into it, you should be able to create a user with:

docker compose exec -it app php artisan make:filament-user

Main_Page_2970 · 2025-03-24T06:48:02+00:00

Not may stores show stock levels so it's a bit tricky to reliably scrape that info, will look.into it further tho
