Default to America/Phoenix and email-alert once when the session expires 
Phoenix doesn't observe DST, so schedule times stay meaningful
year-round without needing a seasonal adjustment.

notify.py reuses lunch-notifier's existing Gmail-SMTP-with-app-password
pattern rather than adding a new notification channel. The alert fires
exactly once per expiry (not on every failed scheduled run while it's
down) via a dedupe flag in notify_state.json, reset the moment a fresh
session is successfully imported.

name description
deploy-massprice Use when deploying MassPrice Scheduler, restarting the massprice container on Unraid, confirming a deploy landed, logging into MassPrice via the Session page, or troubleshooting its scheduled-rule automation.

Deployment

Target: Unraid server, container path /mnt/user/appdata/massprice, built from Dockerfile/docker-compose.yml in this repo. Container name massprice, port 5057 (overridable via HOST_PORT — 5056 was already taken by arr-summary, despite its own docs saying 5055) → container port 5000.

Deploy mechanism: Forgejo push-to-deploy, the same pattern as arr-summary, card-grader, lunch-notifier, n64-tracker — see arr-summary's deploy-arr-summary skill or card-grader's CLAUDE.md for the full runner mechanics. Push to main on the forgejo remote (https://git.hippofam.com/ninja_hippo/massprice.git) triggers .forgejo/workflows/deploy.yml, which syncs into /mnt/user/appdata/massprice (excluding .git, .env, data/) and runs docker compose up -d --build.

Restarting the container manually: use Compose, not the Unraid Docker UI — same reasoning as the other projects (every deploy recreates the container with a new Docker ID; Unraid's UI caches the old one). From the Unraid terminal:

cd /mnt/user/appdata/massprice && docker compose restart

docker compose up -d --force-recreate for a guaranteed-clean recreate; docker ps --filter name=massprice to check real state.

Confirming a deploy landed: the footer renders v<APP_VERSION> · <APP_VERSION_DATE> from constants near the top of app.py. Bump them every commit.

First deploy checklist

  1. Create /mnt/user/appdata/massprice on Unraid and a real .env there (copy .env.example, fill in LOGIN_PASSWORD, SECRET_KEY, HOST_PORT, TZ — and optionally GMAIL_USER/GMAIL_APP_PASSWORD/ ALERT_EMAIL for the session-expiry email alert, same Gmail-app- password pattern as lunch-notifier).
  2. First docker compose up -d --build — confirm the container starts and /login responds on HOST_PORT.
  3. Log into the webui, go to the Session page, and follow its instructions: log into massprice.tcgplayer.com in your own regular Chrome, export its cookies with the Cookie-Editor extension, paste them into the box, and click "Import Session". MassPrice's login is behind hCaptcha, which blocks any form of automated login (confirmed by testing — see CLAUDE.md), so this manual export is the only path in, and needs repeating whenever the session eventually expires.
  4. Click "Refresh Rules" on the Dashboard — confirms the saved session actually works and pulls the real rule list.
  5. Set up at least one schedule and use "Run Now" once to confirm a click actually lands — cross-check by looking at MassPrice's own Activity Log (https://massprice.tcgplayer.com/Activity/List) for a fresh timestamp on that rule.
  6. Only after step 5 succeeds, go to each existing rule on massprice.tcgplayer.com (three-dot menu → Edit Schedule) and set Status to Inactive, so native scheduling stops double-triggering runs and this tool becomes the sole source of scheduled runs.

Persistent state, never touched by deploys

.env holds LOGIN_PASSWORD, SECRET_KEY, and (optionally) GMAIL_USER/GMAIL_APP_PASSWORD/ALERT_EMAIL. data/ (bind-mounted to /data) holds schedules.json (the schedules set from the webui), auth_state.json (the saved MassPrice session imported via the Session page — a live bearer credential for the user's MassPrice account while valid, see CLAUDE.md; losing this just costs one re-import, not data), run_history.json, rules_cache.json, and notify_state.json (the session-expiry alert's send-once dedupe flag). Both are excluded from the deploy rsync (which runs --delete) and from git.

If scheduled runs stop working

Check, in order:

  1. Dashboard banner / Activity page — a "session expired or missing" message means go log in again via the Session page. "rule id not found" means a rule was renamed/deleted on MassPrice — click "Refresh Rules".
  2. Is the container still running — docker ps --filter name=massprice — a Chromium crash inside the container (rare, but possible if shm_size ever gets dropped from docker-compose.yml) would show as the container restarting.
  3. Timezone — TZ in .env controls what "6:00 AM" means for every schedule; confirm it matches what the user actually expects before assuming a schedule itself is wrong.
  4. Session import fails with "didn't authenticate" — the export was probably taken from the wrong tab or before login finished. Re-export only after you're actually looking at massprice.tcgplayer.com's own Dashboard/Rules pages, not the login page or store.tcgplayer.com.
  5. Session import fails with "none of the pasted cookies are for tcgplayer.com" — the extension exported the wrong site's cookies; make sure the active tab was massprice.tcgplayer.com when you clicked Export.
