Reddit Push Dispatcher

Push new posts from your favorite subreddit right to your phone!

Pushover

You will need an account at Pushover to be able to run this. Be sure to also create an application and get the associated API Token/Key as well.

Settings

Once you create an account and have both a User Key and an API Token/Key, you need to pass them in at runtime. Feel free to also set your preferred subreddit and the rate at which the services will poll and scrape Reddit. URLs must be to old.reddit.com. The optional settings are:

• PushoverUserKey
• PushoverAppKey
• RedditFeedUrl (optional, defaults to r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/new/)
• PollRateInMinutes (optional, defaults to 60)

Deploying

Simply run with the necessary environment variables set and the image specified.

docker run -itd --restart unless-stopped \
--env Settings__PushoverUserKey='abcd1234' \
--env Settings__PushoverAppKey='abcd1234' \
ghcr.io/rickdgray/redditpushdispatcher:main

Updating

First kill any currently running containers. Then update your local docker image with the following command.

docker pull ghcr.io/rickdgray/redditpushdispatcher:main

Then you can run the deployment command above to start anew.

Building

Projects in .NET have an unusual folder structure, so when building we must both specify the context to be at the root of the solution, but also specify the location of the dockerfile.

docker build -f .\RedditPushDispatcher\Dockerfile .

Debugging

You can edit the launchSettings.json file with your secrets. Then set the startup dropdown to "Docker" so that Visual Studio will create a container. This will allow you to debug with a local container.
