LinuxDo Daily Check-in

Project Description

This project is designed to automatically log into the LinuxDo website and randomly read several posts. It utilizes Python in conjunction with the Playwright automation library to simulate browser login and post browsing activities.

Features

  • Automatically logs into LinuxDo.
  • Completes daily check-ins.
  • Automatically browse posts.
  • Runs automatically in GitHub Actions.

How to Use

This section solely focuses on how to utilize GitHub Actions. Prior to proceeding, you need to fork this project first.

Setting Environment Variables

Before using this automation script, you need to configure two environment variables USERNAME and PASSWORD in your GitHub repository, which will be used to log into LinuxDo. Follow these steps to set up:

  1. Log into GitHub and navigate to your repository.
  2. Click on the Settings tab of the repository.
  3. Find the Secrets section on the left menu and click on Actions.
  4. Click the New repository secret button.
  5. Add both USERNAME and PASSWORD:
    • In the Name field, enter USERNAME and in the Value field, enter your LinuxDo username or email.
    • Repeat the process, this time entering PASSWORD as the Name and the corresponding password as the Value.

GitHub Actions Automatic Execution

The GitHub Actions configuration in this project automatically runs the check-in script at midnight UTC every day. You do not need to take any action to initiate this automated task. The workflow file is located in the .github/workflows directory and is named daily-check-in.yml.

If you need to manually trigger this workflow, you can do so by following these steps:

  1. Go to the Actions tab of your GitHub repository.
  2. Select the workflow you want to run.
  3. Click the Run workflow button, choose the branch, and then click Run workflow to initiate the workflow.
