changedetection.io - The best and simplest self-hosted website change detection monitoring service

Last update: Jan 01, 2023

Overview

changedetection.io

Self-hosted change monitoring of web pages.

Know when web pages change! Stay ontop of new information!

Example use cases

Know when ...

Government department updates (changes are often only on their websites)
Local government news (changes are often only on their websites)
New software releases, security advisories when you're not on their mailing list.
Festivals with changes
Realestate listing changes

Get monitoring now! super simple, one command!

docker run -d --restart always -p "127.0.0.1:5000:5000" -v datastore-volume:/datastore --name changedetection.io dgtlmoon/changedetection.io

Now visit http://127.0.0.1:5000 , You should now be able to access the UI.

Updating to latest version

Highly recommended :)

docker pull dgtlmoon/changedetection.io
docker kill $(docker ps -a|grep changedetection.io|awk '{print $1}')
docker rm $(docker ps -a|grep changedetection.io|awk '{print $1}')
docker run -d --restart always -p "127.0.0.1:5000:5000" -v datastore-volume:/datastore --name changedetection.io dgtlmoon/changedetection.io

Screenshots

Examining differences in content.

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~~
Add more options to explore versions of differences
Use a graphic/rendered page difference instead of text (see the experimental selenium-screenshot-diff branch)

Heroku Support?

I'm trying to get changedetection.io to work with heroku free plan. Adding a "Deploy to heroku" button would make this service much more accessible

Add filter to remove elements by CSS rule from HTML before change detection is run

This PR adds a filter that will exclude header, footer and nav tags from HTML.

This is useful in situations where it is expected that interesting changes only happen outside of header, footer or navigation (in most cases that means in the main body of the document).

I get some failing tests, but tbh I have no clue why - I'm adding something very similar to PR #444, which passes, and the failing tests don't seem to be related directly to my changes.

The tests I added for this work (which pass) I adapted from test_css_selector.py and am not 100% sure about test_body_filter_full - @dgtlmoon perhaps you can have a closer look to make sure my intention with the test is executed correctly?

Reverse proxy - Password protection randomly disables when clicking logout

Describe the bug Not exactly sure what causes this. It's very random and does not always happen. Cannot find anything about this in the logs.

Version v0.39.13.1

Content from a different URL used in diff
Describe the bug

Notifications are being triggered and when I check the diff, the content for the previous version is the content from one of the other URLs I have configured.

For example, the watch I have configured for https://www.churnetvalleyrailway.co.uk/events/rail-ale-trail.html#timetable shows the new lines from that website, however, the old lines in the diff are from https://www.retrotink.com/product-page/2x-mini (another watch I have configured).

I have only seen this where the previous is wrong in the diff, not the current but I may have missed it.

Version

v0.39.19.1

I am aware this is an older version and have upgraded to v0.39.21.1 to see if it resolves the issue. I've not seen this in previous version but have just changed my hosting environment.

To Reproduce

I'm not sure what triggers this. Only that it is using other configured URLs so at least 2 URLs must be configured.

https://changedetection.io/share/CRdC1_e-W6Ea https://changedetection.io/share/O-fx5cPQLmMa

Expected behavior

Configured URLs should only diff and send notifications on changes to their own URLs

Screenshots

Host Environment (please complete the following information):

OS: [e.g. iOS] Raspberry Pi OS, Kubernetes, local path volume

Browser [e.g. chrome, safari] Firefox 106.0.4

~~I'm unsure if this would cause the issue but I am aware of a problem with the SMB volumes where data access is much slower than an application would usually expect. I am looking to resolve this but I wouldn't expect that to cause this behaviour in an app.~~ After checking, this container is using a local path volume rather than SMB.

Additional context

I'm open to ideas on how to get more information on this.

[feature] ability to import distill.io's/visualping.io exported JSON data
Distill.io offers the ability to export your data https://distill.io/docs/web-monitor/how-export-and-import-monitors/

wanted! please attach your distill.io/visualping export data if possible so we can learn more!

It would be amazing to be able to import their JSON data, atleast

[x] URLs

[x] Filters (xpath/css)

[x] Top frame only (we dont dig deeper into embedded iframes atm)

Mockup - I think putting the others under a tab each is good because there's more than likely going to be some checkbox options that apply to each

Docker - All data and config have been reset

Hi,

I have installed change detection in a Synology Docker and it has been working fine for a while. Then all URLs and config have been reset two days ago. Does anyone have the same issue?

Chrome/Webdriver support for Javascript websites
This actually provides a pluggable interface for adding different fetch/handling mechanisms, first of which is the requests HTTP plain html fetcher, and Chrome Webdriver support! 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉

DOES NOT WORK ON ARM / RaspberryPi type machines!

Todo

[ ] Make tests use the full docker stack with the chromedriver + relevant settings

[ ] Lower the number of workers (make it configurable per backend?) 10 is too many (is it?), but this is totally fine for requests/plaintext

[ ] Some kind of dom-wait-until-fully loaded or other

[ ] Handle failures better (better feedback so we know if its from chromedriver, or from the website)

[ ] Save last screenshot?

TO USE

Grab the docker-compose.yml from https://github.com/dgtlmoon/changedetection.io/blob/javascript-browser/docker-compose.yml

docker-compose up -d or how ever you like it

Enable the 'chrome' fetcher in [settings] tab at http://localhost:5000

Smart ignore

Better would be a way to click on the diff text (green/red insert/delete) and have some mechanism that lets us tell the machine that we want to ignore that block

can be based on context of the above 2 and below 2 lines

run before generating the checksum

maybe using the text highlight JS to get the lines/text selected, then we know where to set the context

and/or click on an individual line to add that ignore text to a config
