This was largely inspired by Discount Bandit which is a very similar application, but it lacks the flexibility to use any store without code changes.
Easiest installation method is via docker-compose. Simply make a copy of
docker-compose.yml then tweak it to your liking then run
docker compose up -d. If using the defaults, the app will be available at
http://localhost:8080 with the username admin@example.com and password admin.
Due to the complexity of the app and its dependencies, other installation methods
are not recommended but if you are that keen to not use docker, look through the
docker/php.dockerfile and docker-compose.yml to see what is needed.
The docker container has a cron job baked in that will take care of background tasks such as fetching prices and sending notifications.
Most common settings are exposed in the application settings page. For more advanced
settings you can edit the .env file in the root of the project.
This application is built using Laravel and Filament. The development environment uses Lando to make it easier to setup the development environment.
Simply install lando, clone this repo, cd pricebuddy and run lando start to start
the development environment.
