Christmas Community

Web app for your family's Christmas shopping

Purpose

To create a simple place for your entire family to use to find gifts that people want, and to avoid double-gifting.

Amazon Smile

By default, Christmas Community converts www.amazon.com links to smile.amazon.com. If you do not want this, set the environment variable SMILE to false (if you are using Docker Compose, make sure to put "false" in quotes).

Root Path

If you want put Christmas Community on a subdirectory, such as /christmas-community, set ROOT_PATH to that path.

Docker

docker run --detach --name christmas-community -p 80:80 --restart always wingysam/christmas-community

Docker Compose

version: "3"
services:
  christmas-community:
    image: wingysam/christmas-community
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data
    ports:
      # If you want to go to localhost:8080 to access Christmas Community,
      # use - 8080:80 instead of
      - 80:80
    environment:
      # Amazon Smile, set to 'false' to disable www.amazon.com links
      # turning into smile.amazon.com
      SMILE: 'true'
      # Table mode, set to 'false' to revert to box mode

      SINGLE_LIST: 'false'
      # Some websites (like walmart) send headers that are larger than 8MB in

Adding Sites

Christmas Community gets data about products automatically with Wingysam/get-product-data. Please submit pull requests for new sites or fixes for changes to existing sites!

Groups

Christmas Community does not yet support having multiple families in one instance. This is a planned feature that will, for example, allow you to have one group for your mom's side of the family and one group for your dad's side of the family, where both groups can access your wishlist but not each others' wishlists. A fork of Christmas Community that has this feature does exist, but most likely will not receive all new features added to the main project. It was not merged into this project because the architecture of Christmas Community prevented implementing it in a maintainable way before some refactoring is done.
