alexa2anylist

Sync Alexa shopping list with Anylist, the hard way (thanks, Amazon!).

This will do a two-way sync between Anylist and Alexa lists. It will do it's best to reconcile changes from either side, but if it's unable to figure it out, the list from Anylist will overwrite the one on Alexa.

Setup

Create a config file like called config.json, like this one:

{
    "amazon_url": "amazon.es",
    "amazon_username": "[email protected]",
    "amazon_password": "xxxxx",
    "amazon_mfa_secret": "xxxx",
    "anylist_username": "[email protected]",
    "anylist_password": "xxxxx",
    "anylist_list_name": "Anylist List"
}

Place it somewhere, like /data/alexa2anylist/ in the example below:

Run the container like so:

...
  alexa2anylist:
    image: alexiri/alexa2anylist:latest
    volumes:
      - /data/alexa2anylist:/config
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
    environment:
      - TZ=Europe/Madrid
    restart: unless-stopped

restart: unless-stopped is important, as this container will crash for various hard-to-avoid reasons. Upon startup, the synchronization should continue from where it left off.

The pre-built container is at available on dockerhub: https://hub.docker.com/r/alexiri/alexa2anylist
