changedetection.io

Self-hosted change monitoring of web pages.

Why? Many years ago I had used a couple of web site change detection/monitoring services, but they got bought up by larger media companies, after this, whenI logged in they wanted even more private data about me.

All I simply wanted todo was to know which pages were changing and when (and maybe see some basic information about what those changes were)

git clone https://github.com/dgtlmoon/changedetection.io.git
cd changedetection.io
docker-compose up -d

Now visit http://127.0.0.1:5000 , The interface will now expose the UI, you can change this in the docker-compose.yml

Future plans

• Greater configuration of check interval times, page request headers.
• General options for timeout, default headers
• On change detection, callout to another API (handy for notices/issue trackers)
• Explore the differences that were detected.
• Use a graphic/rendered page difference instead of text (see the experimental selenium branch)
