Discount Bandit is a price tracker across multiple shopping websites simultaneously, and get notified when an item reaches the price you desire, so you don't have to keep checking shop stores for price changes.

Feel free to access the up-to-date documentation from Here

Discount Bandit uses a web interface, so you need to install some dependencies first:

• php
• composer
• apache or nginx (https://httpd.apache.org , https://www.nginx.com)
• mysql
• sqlite (Default Option)

or you can install something like MAMP instead of installing each one alone.

first, you need to install the packages with composer

composer install 

then run the following and follow the prompts

php artisan discount:install

To make it easier for everyone, whether you are self hosting or just want to use the software, i have found that https://ntfy.sh is the best solution. you can install their app from google play / appstore and can setup the notification very easily.

You can also setup telegram notifications.

If you updating the system, please run the following command

php artisan discount:update

The previous command will give the output if whether you want to run app in the terminal or as cron for windows, mac and linux.

If you want to update the code, after installing the new version run the following

php artisan discount:update

If you are coming outside github or don't like to use it, feel free to join Discord.

Please check the docker repos to pull the image you prefer Docker

If you run docker-compose before creating a .env file, it will have created a '.env'. To fix it, just delete the .env folder and make sure you create your own .env file before running:

rm -rf .env
cp .env.example .env

Don't forget to also populate the .env file with your own APP_KEY (a random 32 characters string).
