Vaccine Notifier

Vaccine Notifier is a quick site I threw together that provides notifications for vaccine availability information provided by the service Vaccine Spotter. I would like to rewrite this website in something more modern like Node sometime.

Self-Host Usage

• A web server with PHP is required. A MySQL database will also be required. Ensure PHP >= 7.4 is installed.
• You will also need credentials to an email account, a Google Maps API key, and a VAPID key
• Run composer install to install dependencies
• Prevent web access to src/, composer.json, composer.lock, vendor, README.MD, .git, .idea and .gitignore in your web server configuration (or make sure these are not uploaded to your web root).
• Run src/vaccine.sql in your MySQL server to generate the vaccine database
• Copy and fill in config.example.php, saving to config.php
• Setup a cronjob to access run.php at your desired frequency. Ensure self_ip is correct in config.php so that run.php will not reject your request. Below is an example for every minute:

* * * * * curl https://vaccine.andrewtran.xyz/run.php
