WG-Gesucht Profile Upranking

WG-Gesucht allows users to publish a profile about themselves in case they are looking for a shared apartment. Other people offering a room can then search through the ever growing list of profiles to find a cool roomie. This application upranks the profile to the beginning of the list by simply updating the title once an hour.

How to run

• Create wg-gesucht profile and get your application id.
• Create env-file from env-file.template and adapt user values accordingly.
• Adapt cron-job to appropriate update interval.
• Execute make run which builds the docker image and runs the docker container.
• Check docker logs with docker logs -f wg-gesucht.

Debug with display window on host system

The following steps allow you to follow on what the driver is actually executing in the browser window in case something goes wrong.

• Execute on host in virtual environment: pip install -r requirements.txt.
• Set debug_wg_gesucht="true" in env-file.
• Execute source env-file.
• Execute python upranking.py.

Note: This application will most likely break when the wg-gesucht website is updated.
