# Go Watch [![Build Status](https://drone.broodjeaap.net/api/badges/broodjeaap/go-watch/status.svg)](https://drone.broodjeaap.net/broodjeaap/go-watch) A change detection server that can notify through various services, written in Go # Intro GoWatch works through filters, a filter performs operations on the input it recieves. Here is an example of a 'Watch' that calculates the lowest and average price of 4090s on NewEgg and notifies the user if the lowest price changed: ![NewEgg 4090](docs/images/newegg_4090.png) Note that everything, including scheduling/storing/notifying, is a `filter`. `Schedule` is a [cron](#cron) filter with a '@every 15m' value, so this will run every 15 minutes. `NewEgg Fetch` is a [Get URL](#get-url) filter with a 'https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?N=100007709&d=4090&isdeptsrh=1&PageSize=96' value, it's output will be the HTTP response. `Select Price` is a [CSS](#css) filter with the value '.item-container .item-action strong[class!="item-buying-choices-price"]' value, it's output will be the html elements containing the prices. An [XPath](#xpath) filter could also have been used. `Sanitize` is a [Replace](#replace) filter, using a regular expression ('[^0-9]') it removes anything that's not a number. `Avg` is an [Average](#average) filter, it calculates the average value of its inputs. `Min` is a [Minimum](#minimum) filter, it calculates the minimum value of its inputs. `Average` and `Minimum` are [Store](#store) filters, they store its input values in the database. `Diff` is a [Different Than Last](#different-than-last) filter, only passing on the inputs that are different then the last value stored in the database. `Notify` is a [Notify](#notify) filter, if there are any inputs to this filter, it will execute a template and send the result to a user defined 'notifier' (Telegram/Discord/etc). # Run ## Docker Easiest way to get started is with the prebuilt docker image: ``` docker run \ -p 8080:8080 \ -v /host/path/to/config:/config \ ghcr.io/broodjeaap/go-watch:master ``` This will start GoWatch with a SQLite database, stored in the `/config` directory, which is probably fine for most use cases. To use another database, the environment variable `GOWATCH_DATABASE_DSN` can be used, for example with a PostgreSQL database: ``` version: "3" services: app: build: context: . dockerfile: Dockerfile target: base container_name: go-watch environment: - GOWATCH_DATABASE_DSN=postgres://gorm:gorm@db:5432/gorm volumes: - /host/path/to/config:/config ports: - "8080:8080" depends_on: db: condition: service_healthy db: image: postgres:15 environment: - POSTGRES_USER=gorm - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=gorm - POSTGRES_DB=gorm volumes: - /host/path/to/db:/var/lib/postgresql/data healthcheck: test: ["CMD-SHELL", "pg_isready -d $${POSTGRES_DB} -U $${POSTGRES_USER}"] interval: 10s timeout: 5s retries: 5 ``` ### Authentication Go-Watch doesn't have built in authentication, but we can use a reverse proxy for that, for example through Traefik: ``` version: "3" services: app: build: context: . dockerfile: Dockerfile target: base container_name: go-watch environment: - GOWATCH_DATABASE_DSN=postgres://gorm:gorm@db:5432/gorm volumes: - /host/path/to/config:/config ports: - "8181:8080" depends_on: db: condition: service_healthy labels: - "traefik.http.routers.gowatch.rule=Host(`192.168.178.254`)" - "traefik.http.routers.gowatch.middlewares=test-auth" db: image: postgres:15 environment: - POSTGRES_USER=gorm - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=gorm - POSTGRES_DB=gorm volumes: - /host/path/to/db:/var/lib/postgresql/data healthcheck: test: ["CMD-SHELL", "pg_isready -d $${POSTGRES_DB} -U $${POSTGRES_USER}"] interval: 10s timeout: 5s retries: 5 depends_on: - proxy proxy: image: traefik:v2.9.6 command: --providers.docker labels: - "traefik.http.middlewares.test-auth.basicauth.users=broodjeaap:$$2y$$10$$aUvoh7HNdt5tvf8PYMKaaOyCLD3Uel03JtEIPxFEBklJE62VX4rD6" ports: - "8080:80" volumes: - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock ``` Change the `Host` label to the correct ip/hostname and generate a user/password string with [htpasswd](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/programs/htpasswd.html) for the `basicauth.users` label, note that the `$` character is escaped with `$$` # Filters GoWatch comes with many filters that should, hopefully, be enough to allow for most use cases. ## Cron The `cron` filter is used to schedule when your watch will run. It uses the [cron](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/robfig/cron/v3@v3.0.0#section-readme) package to schedule go routines, some common examples would be: - `@every 15m`: will trigger every 15 minutes starting on server start. - `@hourly`: will trigger every beginning of hour. - `30 * * * *`: will trigger every hour on the half hour. For more detailed instructions you can check its documentation. ## Get URL Fetches the given URL and outputs the HTTP response. For more complicated requests, POSTing/headers/login, use the [HTTP functionality](https://github.com/vadv/gopher-lua-libs/tree/master/http#client-1) in the Lua filter. During editing, http requests are cached, so not to trigger any DOS protection on your sources. ## Get URLs Fetches every URL given as input and outputs every HTTP response. During editing, http requests are cached, so not to trigger any DOS protection on your sources. ## CSS Use a [CSS selector](https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_selectors.php) to filter your http responses. The [Cascadia](https://github.com/andybalholm/cascadia) package is used for this filter, check the docs to see what is and isn't supported. ## XPath Use an [XPath](https://www.w3schools.com/xml/xpath_intro.asp) to filter your http responses. The [XPath](https://github.com/antchfx/xpath) package is used for this filter, check the docs to see what is and isn't supported. ## JSON Use a this to filter your JSON responses, the [gjson](https://github.com/tidwall/gjson) package is used for this filter. Some common examples would be: - product.price - items.3 - products.#.price ## Replace Simple replace filter, supports regular expressions. If the `With` value is empty, it will just remove matching text. ## Match Searches for the regex, outputs every match. ## Substring Substring allows for a [Python like](https://learnpython.com/blog/substring-of-string-python/) substring selection. For the input string 'Hello World!': - `:5`: Hello - `6:`: World! - `6,0,7`: WHo - `-6:`: World! - `-6:,:5`: World!Hello ## Contains Inputs pass if they contain the given value, basically same as Match but more basic. ## Store Stores each input value in the database under its own name, should probably limit this to single inputs (after Minimum/Maximum/Average filters). ## Notify Executes the given template and sends the resulting string as a message to the given notifier(s). It uses the [Golang templating language](https://pkg.go.dev/text/template), the outputs of all the filters can be used by the name of the filters. So if you have a `Min` filter like in the example, it can be referenced in the template by using `{{ .Min }}`. The name of the watch is also included under `.WatchName`. To configure notifiers see the [notifiers](#notifiers) section. ## Math ### Sum Sums the inputs together, nonnumerical values are skipped. ### Minimum Outputs the lowest value of the inputs, nonnumerical values are skipped. ### Maximum Outputs the highest value of the inputs, nonnumerical values are skipped. ### Average Outputs the average of the inputs, nonnumerical values are skipped. ### Count Outputs the number of inputs. ### Round Outputs the inputs rounded to the given decimals, nonnumerical valuesa are skipped. ## Condition ### Different Than Last Passes an input if it is different than the last stored value. ### Lower Than Last Passes an input if it is lower than the last stored value. ### Lowest Passes an input if it is lower than all previous stored values. ### Lower Than Passes an input if it is lower than a given value. ### Higher Than Last Passes an input if it is higher than the last stored value. ### Highest Passes an input if it is higher than all previous stored values. ### Higher Than Passes an input if it is higher than a given value. ## Lua The Lua filter wraps [gopher-lua](https://github.com/yuin/gopher-lua), with [gopher-lua-libs](https://github.com/vadv/gopher-lua-libs) to greatly extend the capabilities of the Lua VM. A basic script that just passes all inputs to the output looks like this: ``` for i,input in pairs(inputs) do table.insert(outputs, input) end ``` Both `inputs` and `outputs` are convenience tables provided by GoWatch to make Lua scripting a bit easier. There is also a `logs` table that can be used the same way as the `outputs` table (`table.insert(logs, 'this will be logged')`) to provide some basic logging. Much of the functionality that is provided through individual filters in GoWatch can also be done from Lua. The gopher-lua-libs provide an [http](https://github.com/vadv/gopher-lua-libs/tree/master/http) lib, whose output can be parsed with the [xmlpath](https://github.com/vadv/gopher-lua-libs/tree/master/xmlpath) or [json](https://github.com/vadv/gopher-lua-libs/tree/master/json) libs and then filtered with a [regular expression](https://github.com/vadv/gopher-lua-libs/tree/master/regexp) or some regular Lua scripting to then finally be turned into a ready to send notification through a [template](https://github.com/vadv/gopher-lua-libs/tree/master/template). # Notifiers The basic form is: ``` notifiers: : type: "" other: "" values: "" etc: "" ``` See below for possible types. ## Shoutrrr [Shoutrrr](https://containrrr.dev/shoutrrr/v0.5/) can be used to notify many different services, check their docs for a [list](https://containrrr.dev/shoutrrr/v0.5/services/overview/) of which ones. An example config for sending notifications through Shoutrrr: ``` notifiers: Shoutrrr-telegram-discord: type: "shoutrrr" urls: - telegram://@telegram?chats=, - discord://@ - etc... database: dsn: "watch.db" prune: "@every 1h" ``` ## Telegram Get a bot token from the [@BotFather](https://core.telegram.org/bots/tutorial) and get the [chatID](https://www.alphr.com/find-chat-id-telegram/) of the chat want to send the notifications to. An example config for sending notifications through Telegram: ``` notifiers: Telegram: token: "" chat: "" debug: false database: dsn: "watch.db" prune: "@every 1h" ``` ## Discord To get a token, userID and/or serverID you first have to enable [Developer Mode and create a new application](https://www.ionos.com/digitalguide/server/know-how/creating-discord-bot/). Then you can right click on your username in any chat to copy your user ID or right click on a server/channel to get the server/channel ID. An example config for sending DM notifications through Discord: ``` notifiers: Discord: type: "discord" token: "" userID: "" debug: false database: dsn: "watch.db" prune: "@every 1h" ``` An example config for sending channel notifications: ``` notifiers: Discord: type: "discord" token: "" server: ID: "" channel: "" debug: false database: dsn: "watch.db" prune: "@every 1h" ``` Both a userID and serverID/channelID is also possible. ## Email An example config for sending email notifications through a SMTP relay server: ``` notifiers: Email-to-at-email-com: type: "email" server: "smtp.relay.com" port: "465" from: "from@email.com" user: "apikey" password: "-" to: "to@email.com" database: dsn: "watch.db" prune: "@every 1h" ``` # Dev ## type script compilation `tsc static/*.ts --lib es2020,dom --watch --downlevelIteration` # Dependencies The following libaries are used in Go-Watch: - [Gin](https://github.com/gin-gonic/gin) for HTTP server - [multitemplate](https://github.com/gin-contrib/multitemplate) for template inheritance - [Cascadia](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/andybalholm/cascadia) for CSS selectors - [htmlquery](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/antchfx/htmlquery) for XPath selectors - [validator](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/go-playground/validator/v10@v10.11.0) for user user input validation - Notifiers - [Shoutrrr](https://github.com/containrrr/shoutrrr/) for many different services - [tgbotapi](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/go-telegram-bot-api/telegram-bot-api/v5@v5.5.1) for Telegram - [discordgo](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/bwmarrin/discordgo) for Discord - [gomail](https://pkg.go.dev/gopkg.in/gomail.v2?utm_source=godoc) for Email - [cron](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/robfig/cron/v3@v3.0.0) for job scheduling - [viper](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/spf13/viper@v1.12.0) for config management - [gjson](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/tidwall/gjson@v1.14.2) for JSON selectors - [gopher-lua](https://github.com/yuin/gopher-lua) for Lua scripting - [gopher-lua-libs](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/vadv/gopher-lua-libs@v0.4.0) for expanding the Lua scripting functionality - [net](https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/net) for http fetching - [gorm](https://pkg.go.dev/gorm.io/gorm@v1.23.8) for database abstraction - [sqlite](https://pkg.go.dev/gorm.io/driver/sqlite@v1.3.6) - [postgres](https://github.com/go-gorm/postgres) - [mysql](https://github.com/go-gorm/mysql) - [sqlserver](https://github.com/go-gorm/sqlserver) - [bootstrap](https://getbootstrap.com/)
