Fancy status page and status logger for the Lisbon Metro, that scrapes the official website for information. Live at https://perturbacoes.pt.
The server is written in Go. It is compatible with PostgreSQL only and designed to run behind a reverse proxy.
The code can be modified to work with other networks, including multiple networks at once and multiple sources of information for a single network.
It can also be extended to support other kinds of network incidents ("disturbances"), including whole-network incidents. Right now all "disturbances" are line-oriented.
Since the service, in its current form, monitors a Portuguese subway network, it targets a Portuguese audience and the frontend is in pt-PT. All code and comments are in English.
The website contains a heavily modified version of cnanney's CSS flip counter.
go get -u github.com/gbl08ma/disturbancesmlx, as is tradition with Go projects.
Use the schema.sql file to create the schema on your PostgreSQL database, and edit the database connection string in secrets-debug.json.
go build, run disturbancesmlx and wait for the "Scraper completed second fetch" log message to appear. The HTTP server should be available on localhost port 8089 by then.
