In this homelab series video I’m checking out PriceBuddy, a self-hosted price tracker you can run on your own server. The whole point is simple: track product prices over time, see the history from the moment you start tracking, and optionally get notified when something hits a target price (or drops by a percentage). I walk through the UI, add a couple products by pasting URLs (Amazon and UniFi), and show how tagging helps keep your dashboard organized when you’re tracking a bunch of stuff. The big win for me is that PriceBuddy actually works with Amazon pricing. I’ve been using ChangeDetection.io for a while, and Amazon price checking just doesn’t work there, so this is likely what I’ll switch to for my “watch this price” use case. I also show where notifications live (email, Pushover, Notify, Apprise) and how the scrape schedule works—one fetch a day is usually plenty, and if you crank it to every minute you’re basically asking to get flagged as a bot. For setup, I keep it Docker-simple: install Docker on a Linux server, grab their docker-compose file, create the .env file, and run `docker compose up -d`. It spins up the app plus a MySQL backend and a Selenium-based scraper, then you hit it on port 8080 and log in (and yes—change the default creds).
