• Usage Instructions
• Docker Instructions
• Cron Instructions

Usage Instructions:

1. Clone the repository

2. Within the repository, create the following file: users.json

3. Within users.json, provide the login(s) in JSON format like so:

{
    "users": [
        {"email": "[email protected]","password": "PASSWORD"},
        {"email": "[email protected]","password": "PASSWORD"},
        {"email": "[email protected]","password": "PASSWORD"}
    ]
}

Done! Feel free to cargo run and watch the script go.

Below are optional steps for the following:

• Running it within a docker container
• Scheduling a cron job to have it run every day

Docker Instructions:

1. Navigate into the repository

cd /path/to/cloned/repository

2. Build the docker image and name it "chumba-claim-daily".

docker build -t chumba-claim-daily .

3. Run the docker image

docker run --rm chumba-claim-daily:latest

Voila! Docker will create and run a container with the script running inside.

Cron Instructions

There will be two sets of cron instructions:

• Cron job running the script directly on the host machine
• Cron job runnint the script within a docker container

Note

Both methods will utilize the crontab of the host machine. The only difference is where the chumba-claim-daily script is executed.

Host Machine

1. Open crontab

crontab -e

2. Add the following to crontab to execute the script every day at 5am

0 5 * * * cd /path/to/cloned/repository && cargo run --release

Done! Every day at 5am, cargo run --release will be executed within the repository's directory and run the script.

Docker

I have personally had issues with running docker commands from within crontab, so I create shell scripts containing the docker commands I need crontab to run.

1. Create a shell script such as docker-run.sh and add

docker run --rm chumba-claim-daily:latest

2. Open crontab

crontab -e

3. Add the following to crontab to execute the script every day at 5am

0 5 * * * /bin/sh /path/to/shell/script/docker-run.sh

4. Save changes and exit crontab

Done! Every day at 5am, the container will be created and run the script.
