Systemd Service Setup

To ensure your server runs continuously, even after a system reboot or crash, you can create a systemd service.

1. Create a service file: Create a new file named promotion_scraper.service in /etc/systemd/system/.

[Unit]
Description=Restaurant Promotion Scraper Service
After=network.target

[Service]
Environment=NODE_PORT=3501
Type=simple
User=<username>
ExecStart=/usr/bin/node /path/to/your/project/lib/index.js
Restart=on-failure

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Replace with your Linux username and /path/to/your/project/ with the actual path to your project directory.

2. Enable and start the service:

systemctl enable promotion_scraper.service
systemctl start promotion_scraper.service
systemctl status promotion_scraper.service

3. Check the logs of your service with:

journalctl -u promotion_scraper.service

From here, you can create a cron job to periodically scrape promotions from your favorite restaurants and send you an email or telegram notification with the results.
