A service consisting of a Rest API to allow users to sign up for weather alerts and a scheduler
called notifier which will poll the API for which alerts it needs to check, and then
calls the OpenWeatherMap API to see if the user needs to be alerted.
For more detailed information about the services in the project, check the subfolder READMEs
To start all the components of the project locally, use the docker-compose file.
You'll need to get an API_KEY (see the notifier README for details if you don't have one)
Add this to the .env.example and rename to .env or set the API_KEY env variable to the API KEY
When this is done run docker compose up (or docker-compose up if you've installed docker-compose
separately)
This will start the REST API, the notifier scheduler, the Postgres database as well as a Mailhog email server
To see the emails coming in, navigate to http://localhost:8025 - it should take 1 minute for the first email to tick in
