Fishing Report

This is not a working application at this time, feel free to open a pull request to participate

Goals

• Obtain fishing reports in an automated fashion from the State of California's DFG Stocking Report here -> https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FishPlants/ (click the "Export" button near the bottom of the page)
• We will need to import the data in a database, for Geo location features, at this time it doesnt matter whether its SQL, NoSQL, Redis or Elasticsearch (im strongly leaning toward elasticsearch right now), but because it will run on a cron task it will need to be running on a database which is always available.
• We will want to display the data on a geolocation aware map, we can probably use Elasticsearch + Kibana for this, which is the reason I think Elasticsearch might be the best option.
• I think this should stay as a rake task for obtaining data, because then we can just add the task to crontab
• It might be nice to implement some features like automated email notifications when stocking reports are near favorite spots, or near home

Dependencies

• Ruby 3.1.2 (can quickly be obtained from RVM)
• MongoDB Installed and Running

Installation

$ make install

Import Data

Webscrape Fishing Report Data and import into Database

$ make run

Display Data

Run Elasticsearch

- to view the data in a user interface, you will need elasticsearch and kibana running.

- in a second tab, run the elasticsearch service

- follow the instructions in the terminal for configuring your session

$ make elasticsearch

Run Kibana

- this will provide a graphical user interface to view map data

- in a third tab, run the kibana service and open browser to http://localhost:5601

$ make kibana
