Now visit http://127.0.0.1:5000 , You can only access the UI only from local machine.

If you run in another machine:

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

Now visit http://127.0.0.1YOUR-MACHINE-IP:5000 , You should now be able to access the UI through IP.

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)
