Mailing List Stats Tool

This tool allows you to see some stats for a mailing list.

How to run

1. Clone the repository
2. Run composer install
3. Run php collector.php to download the mailing list archive/history. It is a bit of a hack, so I recommend using the online version or adjusting the max range/window in collector.php to avoid downloading the entire history.
4. Run cd public; php -S localhost:8000 to start the built-in PHP server OR docker compose up.

Environment variables:

• SALT: A salt to hash the email addresses. This is used to anonymize the email addresses. If you don’t set this, the email address will be a simple MD5 hash.
• UNSAFE_EMAILS: If set, the email addresses will not be anonymized. This is useful for debugging.

Production build

1. Push to main
2. Wait for GitHub Actions to build the production version
3. Update k8s-manifest.yaml with the current commit hash
4. Apply the manifest to the Kubernetes cluster
