This repository contains Python code for two applications that scrape arrest records from the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office website. One application is a script that currently runs once per day and sends the the scraped arrest records to a configurable email address. The other is a simple web application that allows a user to select a date range over which arrest records will be returned.
These applications have been built and run using docker. There is a Makefile
that is used to do this. You can build and then run the cron application with
the following commands:
$ make build-cron
$ make run-cron
Similarly, you can build and run the web application with these commands:
$ make build-web
$ make run-web
These applications are running on a host whose IP address is currently 45.77.115.74.
You can then edit, run, commit and push code normally. When you are ready to
deploy the code to the server, ssh into the machine and cd into the working
copy of the code:
$ ssh root@45.77.115.74
$ cd hillsborough-sheriff-scraper
Then pull the most recent changes:
$ git pull
Once that is done, you can then build and run the applications using the make
commands given above.
