nvc-dhl-tracker

Automatically track and record records for NVC shipments!

Installation

pip install nvc-dhl-tracker

Or clone from github and run

pip install -e "."

Usage

• Follow the gspread documentation to create a service account: https://docs.gspread.org/en/latest/

• Copy the URL of the google spreadsheet

• Create a new sheet in the document and copy the ID out of the URL, this will be the tracking sheet ID.

Then run

i129f_nvc_tracker

And answer the questions it asks. You should be able to let this run indefinitely, but eventually the database will fill up.

As a SystemD service

Before running as a systemd service you should run the command with a –start-number to seed the database. Otherwise if the service crashes it will restart from the previous start number which may be significantly out of date.

/root/i129fvenv/bin/python -m i129f.nvc_dhl_tracker.cli --no-input --dhl-keys [..., ...] --start-number [...] --google-spreadsheet-url [...] --google-sheet-id [...]

The command below does not include –start-number to make it easier to copy and paste.
