🚨 IG Monitoring ends its way 🚨

The open source version will still be available on github, but will no longer be developed or actively supported.

IG Monitoring Cloud

Let me introduce you to a cloud version of a system I'm currently working on. Perhaps it will answer your needs. That will be more featured version of the system you know from GitHub, with more extensive tag analytics and account analytics expanded with locations. Additionally it'll have various permission levels, so you can create an account for a Client with stats available there. And that's just for a starter :)

Installation

Before you start

You need WORKING proxies (at least 2). (I recommend the private, dedicated ones [aff link])

You need a server (vps will be ok) with linux, root access and configured LEMP, that is:

• php minimum 7.2
• latest nginx, recommended server configuration https://www.yiiframework.com/doc/guide/2.0/en/start-installation#configuring-web-servers
• mysql minimum 5.7 (or the appropriate mariadb, e.g. 10.3)
• installation instructions on Debian (there is no need for a firewall ;)

System installation (terminal)

• create database: mysql, utf8mb4
• run git clone https://github.com/jakim/ig-monitoring.git
• run cd ig-monitoring (you will enter the project catalog)
• download composer
• run php composer.phar install
• run chmod 0777 runtime
• run chmod 0777 web/assets
• run chmod 0777 web/uploads
• copy config/db.dist => config/db.php and enter the access data to the created database
• run php yii migrate (tables in the database should be created)
• run php yii admin/dictionaries

Configure google sign-in

• go to: https://console.developers.google.com and create a new project
• enable API: Google+ API
• add oAuth login credentials (type: web application)
• add authorized redirect url YOUR_DOMAIN/admin/auth/auth?authclient=google
• copy config/authClientCollection.php.dist => config/authClientCollection.php and enter clientId, clientSecret and redirectUrl as above

Worker configuration (data refreshing)

• install the supervisord, the method of installation depends on the system
• add configuration according to https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2-queue/blob/master/docs/guide/worker.md (in Debian 8 and 9: /etc/supervisor/conf.d/ig_monitoring.conf)
• change in the configuration:
  • user => nginx
  • numprocs => 2 is enough (I recommend twice less than the number of proxy and a number equal to the number of processor cores/threads)
  • I suggest stdout_logfile to be set to the project directory, ie PROJECT_FULL_PATH/runtime/logs/supervisor.log
• run supervisord
• add cron hourly for php /PROJECT_FULL_PATH/yii stats/update-accounts and php /PROJECT_FULL_PATH/yii stats/update-tags

Adding and activation of the system user

• try to log in, if everything goes well, you'll see an "inactive account message"
• run the command php yii user/activate 'YOUR_GOOGLE_EMAIL'
• log in again

Next steps

• add a few accounts and tags
• enjoy the system
• write a review
• tell your friends about the system
• star the project on github :)
• support the project by taking the cloud version

FAQ

Why did I build it?

• Because I need something that I can quickly change for my needs.

Why is it free?

• Because I realized that I like building tools more than using them :)

Is it safe for usage?

• You never known, but I’m using this for few months now without any issue.

Do I need to enter my Instagram login and password?

• No, the system is based on publicly available data, so you do not have to provide any sensitive data.

Will the system harm my accounts?

• No, everyone can monitor public accounts.

Why did you build two versions?

• I needed a system to monitor accounts (now it's several thousands), but I enjoy software development more than accounts maintenance, which is why the free version was created. The cloud version was created as a response to all users problems with the installation and maintenance of the free version.

What do I expect from this share?

• New ideas would be great, feel free to create issue and PR. :)

Free Version PREMIUM SUPPORT

If you do not know how to get into the installation, I can do it for you. As part of the support, I offer:

• installation of a www server
• database installation
• script configuration
• free, good ssl certificate (letsencrypt)
• script modifications, according to requirements
• other software integration

Troubleshooting

'SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1071 Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes

You probably have a low database version, make sure your system meets the requirements
