Laravel 5 Up Checker with Pushover notifications
Although the correlation in name is evident, and some might take that in the pejorative sense, it is not meant as such, it mainly being an anglicisation of the Gaelic Maol Dòmhnaich, which rougly translates as "son of the servant of the Lord (Sunday)".
It's a rudimentary Up Checker based on L5 / beanstalkd / scheduling and the adapter project for push notifications. Although feedback is welcome; I don't consider it fit for production purposes, so do that at your own peril.
After cloning the project and installing the dependencies, run:
php artisan migrate && php artisan db:seed
It christens the DB with a generic group and stub host list.
In homestead, do:
sudo service beanstalkd start
In your project folder, run:
php artisan queue:listen --tries=2
In config/rest_resources.php, set your PushOver auth:
'base_url' => 'https://api.pushover.net/1',
'defaults' => [
'query' => [
'token' => 'foo', // app token
'user' => 'bar' // group or user token
]
]
If you look at config/downie.php:
// The maximum number of days host state data is kept
'state_max_days' => 180,
// Whether or not to display the root status page
'status_page' => true
The latter meaning that you can browse to your project homestead root in the browser and view the status of your hosts. Setting it to false means a blank HTTP 200.
A cleanup utility is included that swipes the downie_hosts_states monthly. State records older than state_max_days get purged.
Append it to your crontab:
* * * * * php /path/to/artisan schedule:run 1>> /dev/null 2>&1
Of course, individual commands can also be cronned separately.
