NODEMAILER_PASS=your_email_app_passwordThese are the core env vars currently used by the app:
MONGODB_URI: MongoDB connection string used by database calls.NEXTAUTH_SECRET: Secret used by NextAuth for signing/encryption.NODEMAILER_EMAIL: Sender account used for verification/reset/reminder emails.NODEMAILER_PASS: App password/token for the sender email account.

npm startnpm testNotify uses two cron-hit APIs in production:
-
GET /api/update-contest- Fetches latest contests from platforms.
- Detects newly added contests.
- Sends contest detail emails for newly discovered contests.
-
GET /api/send-reminders- Sends reminders for contests starting in the next 30-60 minutes.
- Sends one-day reminders for contests starting in the next 23h30m-24h.
/api/send-reminders: every 30 minutes (*/30 * * * *)/api/update-contest: every 6 hours (0 */6 * * *)
{
"crons": [
{ "path": "/api/send-reminders", "schedule": "*/30 * * * *" },
{ "path": "/api/update-contest", "schedule": "0 */6 * * *" }
]
}If you are using another scheduler (GitHub Actions, Cron-job.org, UptimeRobot, etc.), simply send a GET request to:

You can run Notify using Docker if you dont wanna go in burden of installing node.js.
- Docker installed on your system
Create a .env file in the project root and fill in the required values:
MONGODB_URI=your_mongodb_connection_string
NEXTAUTH_SECRET=your_strong_random_secret
NODEMAILER_EMAIL=your_sender_email
NODEMAILER_PASS=your_email_app_passworddocker build . -t notify-app .docker run -p 3000:3000 --env-file .env notify-app- The app will be available at http://localhost:3000
- You can override environment variables at runtime using
-e VAR_NAME=valueif needed.
For a more complete development setup, create a docker-compose.yml file:
version: "3.8"
