# Spielerplus Chat Watcher

Periodically pulls chat messages from Spielerplus and informs about new ones.

## Setup

To run the script uv and Firefox need to be installed.

In a copy of this repository on the intended host machine run

```
uv sync
```

Make a copy of `.env.example` called `.env` and provide values for the environment variables.

The script can be run as a daemon using a systemd service,
defined in `spcw.service.`
To install the service copy the file to `~/.config/systemd/user/` and provide the correct path to a copy of this project as the working directory.
Then enable and start the service.

``` bash
systemctl --user enable spcw
systemctl --user start spcw
```

The service would stop if the starting user logs out.
You can prevent this by enabling user lingering for that user:

```
sudo loginctl enable-linger $USER
```
