ScarriffleandClaude Opus 5 9bf7d3797d Take in invitations that arrive by mail
A watched mailbox is a trust boundary this app did not have: anyone who knows
the address can hand the server an iCalendar file. So a mail can do exactly one
thing — create a row in event_invites. No calendar read path touches that
table, and an invitation becomes an event only when a person accepts it.

Routing is by the ATTENDEE address, never the From header, which a sender can
claim freely. Addresses are matched against users.email plus a dedicated table,
so forwarded mail still finds its owner: the invitation names the original
address, not the mailbox it landed in.

An accepted invitation gets a fresh UID; the organiser's goes to external_uid.
LocalEvent.uid is globally unique, so reusing it would let a stranger's mail
collide with an event already there. That case has a test, because it is the
one that would be a real problem.

parse_ics now reads METHOD, SEQUENCE, the organiser address, the ATTENDEE list
and RECURRENCE-ID. All additive — existing callers read the keys they knew.
METHOD sits on the VCALENDAR, so it is read outside the component loop; that is
the only reliable way to tell an invitation from a plain calendar file. A VEVENT
carrying RECURRENCE-ID is skipped rather than applied, since treating one
occurrence as the series would move every other date.

The mailbox job registers only when IMAP_HOST is set: an unconditional job would
log every few minutes that it has nothing to do, and test_scheduler asserts the
exact job set. Credentials come from the environment, which keeps the one secret
that opens a whole mailbox out of a table an endpoint could return.

Replies to the organiser are the next step; accepting and declining work without
them.

## Installation
### Requirements
- Python 3.9+
- Linux (Debian/Ubuntu recommended)
### Quick Start
```bash
git clone https://git.scarriffle.com/Scarriffle/calendarr
cd calendarr
./install.sh
./start.sh
```
The app will be available at `http://localhost:8080`. On first visit, the setup wizard creates the admin account.
### systemd Service
```bash
sudo cp calendarr.service /etc/systemd/system/
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable --now calendarr
```
---
## Configuration
Configuration is done via environment variables. The `install.sh` script generates a `.env` file automatically.
| Variable | Default | Description |

| `PORT` | `8080` | Server port |
| `HOST` | `0.0.0.0` | Bind address |
| `DATA_DIR` | `./data` | Directory for the SQLite database, avatars, branding and attachments |
| `GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID` | — | Google OAuth2 Client ID *(optional)* |
| `GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET` | — | Google OAuth2 Client Secret *(optional)* |
| `GOOGLE_REDIRECT_URI` | — | e.g. `https://yourdomain.com/api/google/callback` *(optional)* |
| `PUBLIC_BASE_URL` | *(derived)* | Public origin behind a reverse proxy — **required for SSO** and for attachment links in CalDAV |
| `ATTACHMENT_PUBLIC_LINKS` | `1` | `0` disables the unauthenticated attachment URLs (see below) |
| `SCHEDULER_ENABLED` | `1` | `0` disables all background jobs |
| `ATTACHMENT_SWEEP_HOURS` | `24` | How often orphaned attachments are cleaned up |
| `ICAL_REFRESH_MINUTES` | `15` | How often iCal subscriptions are checked in the background |
| `IMAP_HOST` | — | Mailbox watched for invitations. Unset disables the whole feature *(optional)* |
| `IMAP_PORT` | `993` | |
| `IMAP_SSL` | `1` | `0` for a plain connection |
| `IMAP_USER` / `IMAP_PASSWORD` | — | Mailbox credentials |
| `IMAP_FOLDER` | `INBOX` | |
| `MAIL_POLL_MINUTES` | `5` | How often the mailbox is read |
| `OIDC_PROVIDERS` | — | Comma-separated provider keys, e.g. `authentik` *(optional)* |
Per provider `<KEY>` listed in `OIDC_PROVIDERS` (variable names are uppercased):
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `OIDC_<KEY>_ISSUER` | — | **Required.** Issuer URL, e.g. `https://authentik.example.com/application/o/calendarr/` |
| `OIDC_<KEY>_CLIENT_ID` | — | **Required.** Client ID of the web application |
| `OIDC_<KEY>_CLIENT_SECRET` | — | Leave empty for a public client (PKCE only) |
| `OIDC_<KEY>_NAME` | *(key)* | Label on the login button |
| `OIDC_<KEY>_SCOPES` | `openid profile email` | Requested scopes — **must be quoted**, see below |
| `OIDC_<KEY>_MOBILE_CLIENT_ID` | — | Client ID(s) of the native apps, comma-separated |
| `OIDC_<KEY>_MOBILE_ISSUER` | *(issuer)* | Only if mobile uses a second application |
| `OIDC_<KEY>_ALLOW_SIGNUP` | `false` | Create accounts on first SSO login |
| `OIDC_<KEY>_ALLOWED_DOMAINS` | — | Email-domain allowlist for signup |
| `OIDC_<KEY>_LINK_BY_EMAIL` | `false` | Auto-link to an existing account by email |
| `OIDC_<KEY>_USERNAME_CLAIM` | `preferred_username` | Claim used to derive the username |
| `OIDC_<KEY>_REDIRECT_URI` | *(derived)* | Overrides the derived callback URL |
### Single Sign-On (OpenID Connect / Authentik)
Adds an SSO button to the login screen **alongside** password login. With
`OIDC_PROVIDERS` unset, nothing changes — the feature is invisible.
**In Authentik:** create one OAuth2/OpenID provider, client type **Public**
(the web flow uses PKCE, so a secret buys little), with two redirect URIs:
- Web: `https://calendar.example.com/api/auth/oidc/authentik/callback`
- iOS: `com.scarriffleservices.calendarr.ios:/oauth2redirect`
- Android: `com.scarriffle.calendarr:/oauth2redirect`
The mobile apps live in this repository under `ios/` and `android/`, and
authenticate as **public** clients via AppAuth — PKCE, no client secret.
Set `OIDC_<KEY>_MOBILE_CLIENT_ID` to the client id they use; without it the apps
show no SSO button.
Signing key RS256, scope mappings `openid`, `profile`, `email` — and
**`offline_access` for the mobile apps**. Since Authentik 2024.2 that scope has
to be mapped explicitly; without it no refresh token is issued and the apps
appear to log out every week. Restrict access with an Authentik group binding —
that, not `ALLOWED_DOMAINS`, is the real authorization control.
**In `.env`:**
```bash
PUBLIC_BASE_URL=https://calendar.example.com
OIDC_PROVIDERS=authentik
OIDC_AUTHENTIK_NAME=Authentik
OIDC_AUTHENTIK_ISSUER=https://authentik.example.com/application/o/calendarr/
OIDC_AUTHENTIK_CLIENT_ID=...
OIDC_AUTHENTIK_MOBILE_CLIENT_ID=calendarr-mobile
OIDC_AUTHENTIK_SCOPES="openid profile email"
OIDC_AUTHENTIK_ALLOW_SIGNUP=false
```
> **`install.sh` does not overwrite an existing `.env`.** On an existing
> installation append these lines by hand, then `systemctl restart calendarr`.
> **Quote every value containing a space.** `start.sh` does
> `set -a; source .env; set +a`, so an unquoted
> `OIDC_AUTHENTIK_SCOPES=openid profile email` makes the shell try to run
> `profile` and startup fails.
**Account matching.** An identity is matched on the provider's `sub` claim.
A first SSO login with no matching account does **not** fail. The verified
identity is parked in a short-lived signed cookie and the login screen asks the
user to sign in once with their Calendarr password; the identity is then
attached to exactly that account. Both halves are proven — the ID token by us,
the account by the password — so no trust in the provider'''s email handling is
required.
`LINK_BY_EMAIL=true` links automatically to an existing account with the same
address instead (additionally requiring `email_verified`). It saves one step,
but means anyone who can set an arbitrary email at the identity provider
inherits the matching account, including an admin'''s. Prefer the default.
With `ALLOW_SIGNUP=true`, unknown users get an account on first login. Such
accounts have no usable password; they use **app passwords** for CalDAV, the
same as 2FA users.
**Adding a second provider** is configuration only: append its key to
`OIDC_PROVIDERS`, add the matching `OIDC_<KEY>_*` block, restart. No code change.
**Rollback:** remove `OIDC_PROVIDERS` and restart. Accounts created via SSO
remain and must be removed (or given a password) by an admin.
### Attachments
Events in **local** calendars can carry files: PDFs, images (PNG/JPEG/WebP/GIF)
and text files (TXT/Markdown/CSV), up to **10 MB per file and 10 per event**.
Events from CalDAV, Google, Home Assistant or iCal subscriptions cannot — they
are fetched live from their own server and have no record here to attach to.
Files are stored under `DATA_DIR/attachments`; **back that up together with the
database**, or a restored database will point at files that no longer exist.
Who may attach or remove a file is the same rule as who may edit the event:
the calendar's owner, group members, and anyone with a read-write share. A
read-only share can view and download. Private events of other users expose
neither their attachments nor their number.
**Attachments in external calendar clients.** The generated ICS carries an
`ATTACH` line per file, so Apple Calendar, Thunderbird and DAVx5 show the
attachment and can download it. Those clients cannot send a login, so the URL
has to work without one: each attachment gets its own unguessable 256-bit
token, and anyone who has that URL can fetch the file.
Weigh that honestly. The link only ever reaches clients that were already
allowed to read the calendar, and it dies when the attachment is deleted — but
it is long-lived, it ends up in plain text in the client's local calendar
store, and it would appear in a reverse-proxy access log. If that is not
acceptable for your deployment, set `ATTACHMENT_PUBLIC_LINKS=0`: no `ATTACH`
line is written and the public URL stops answering. Attachments then work in
the web UI and the mobile apps only.
`PUBLIC_BASE_URL` must be set for the links to be correct behind a reverse
proxy; without a usable base URL the `ATTACH` line is omitted entirely.
### Background jobs
The server runs two periodic jobs in-process:
| Job | Interval | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| `attachments.sweep` | 24 h | Removes attachment records whose event is gone, and files with no record |
| `ical.refresh` | 15 min | Re-fetches iCal subscriptions that are due |
| `mail.invites` | 5 min | Reads the watched mailbox for invitations *(only when `IMAP_HOST` is set)* |
#### Invitations by mail
With a mailbox configured, invitations sent to it appear under **Requests** and
become calendar entries only once someone accepts them. Nothing a mail contains
is written to a calendar on its own.
An invitation is matched to a user by its `ATTENDEE` address, never by the
sender — compared against that user's `email` plus any additional addresses.
That matters when mail is forwarded: the invitation still names the original
address, not the mailbox it arrived in, so put the address people actually
invite into the user's profile.
Credentials live in the environment rather than the database, so the one secret
that opens a whole mailbox is never returned by any endpoint. One mailbox per
instance; a forwarding target is the intended setup.
Attachments are normally cleaned up the moment an event, calendar or user is
deleted; the sweep is the safety net for what gets past that — an external
CalDAV client deleting an event, or a request that died mid-upload. It leaves
files younger than an hour alone, so it cannot race an upload in progress.
The iCal job only drives the same refresh the app already did on demand, so
subscription intervals are unchanged. What is new is that subscriptions stay
current while nobody has the app open.
Both jobs assume a single server process, which is how `main.py` starts
uvicorn. Running multiple workers would run every job once per worker.
### Google Calendar Setup
1. Create a project in [Google Cloud Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/)
2. Enable the **Google Calendar API**
3. Create an **OAuth 2.0 Client ID** (Web application type)
4. Add your redirect URI to the authorized redirect URIs
5. Set `GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID`, `GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET`, and `GOOGLE_REDIRECT_URI` in `.env`
