You can find your late bus.

YRDSB Latebus Notifications

You can find your late bus

1. Create a config file named latebus-config.yaml.
2. The file should contain the following:

config:
  timezone: "US/Eastern"
  webhook:
  - "https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/goingtobelate/with/key...........?value1="
  morningbus:
    bus_check: "MYSCHOOL PS</td><td>9999"
    start: "7:00"
    stop: "8:00"
  afternoonbus:
    bus_check: "MYSCHOOL PS</td><td>1111"
    start: "15:00"
    stop: "16:30"

Note: You must create an IFTTT webhook to notify or text you

3. The webhook entry is an array to support multiple hooks
4. This program is ready to be pushed in Cloud Foundry using the Python Buildpack
5. Command from the repository's root directory:

cf push latebus --no-route -u process

Run as a docker container

---

Long running docker container (Daemon)

1. Create the latebus-config.yaml file, by editing and saving latebus-config-example.yaml.
2. Build your container image from the root directory of this repository.

cp Dockerfile.template Dockerfile
echo CMD python Latebus.py >> Dockerfile
docker build . -t latebus:latest

# OR

build.bat

4. Run your container image with

docker run -d --restart unless-stopped --name latebus latebus

Note: This runs the container as non-interactive. It will start with your system and uses the container name "latebus". The last reference "latebus" is the image name created in Step 2

---

Limited duration docker container

1. Create the latebus-config.yaml file, by editing and saving the latebus-config-example.yaml. morningbus and afternoonbus sections are NOT used.
2. This container should be run once for each monitoring window. It takes four environment variables(in addition to the latebus-config.yaml):

• CHECK_URL This is the URL to monitor for the bus
• CHECK_DURATION This is how many minutes to monitor for once the container is launched
• SCHOOL_NAME This is the name of the school
• BUS_NUMBER This is the bus number
  
  Note: The SCHOOL_NAME and BUS_NUMBER are concatonated together with </td><td> for the search term. This is because the bus numbers are used more then once for different schools in the table on School Bus City

export CHECK_URL=http://net.schoolbuscity.com
export CHECK_DURATION=1
export SCHOOL_NAME=Yorkbus
export BUS_NUMBER=1111

3. Add the following to a scheduled task (Windows) or cronjob.
   

docker run --name latebus -e CHECK_URL="http://net.schoolbuscity.com" -e CHECK_DURATION=60 -e SCHOOL_NAME="MYSCHOOL PS" -e BUS_NUMBER=9999 --rm latebus-limited-duration

Note: The task will show as running for the full CHECK_DURATION value in minutes because there is no -d option
