urlwatch-docker

This is an image with urlwatch installed.

Info

There are 2 images, slim and navigate. The latter one is larger, with more dependencies to run headless Chromium which is used for navigate jobs (when websites require JS to render). Slim has the bare minimum number of dependencies.

Additionally, to enable sandboxing in Chromium you might need to do sysctl modification:

kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=1

The image uses yacron for easy cron scheduling via yaml file

Basic example

docker-compose.yaml

version: '2.4'

services:
  urlwatch:
    image: ghcr.io/vs-x/urlwatch-docker:navigate
    container_name: urlwatch
    user: 1000:1000
    cap_add: # is needed in `navigate` to enable sandboxing in Chromium
      - SYS_ADMIN
    volumes:
      - /ContainerData/urlwatch:/home/urlwatch/.urlwatch
    restart: unless-stopped

Additionally this image needs 3 more files: cron.yaml, urls.yaml, urlwatch.yaml.

cron.yaml - modify schedule cron to your needs

jobs:
  - name: run urlwatch
    command: urlwatch --urls urls.yaml --config urlwatch.yaml --hooks hooks.py --cache cache.db
    shell: /bin/bash
    schedule: '*/30 * * * *'

Consult official urlwatch docs to find out what urls.yaml and urlwatch.yaml should contain.
