Doveseed
========
Doveseed is a backend service for email subscriptions to RSS feeds.
Setup
-----
Configuration
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Doveseed requires a configuration file in JSON format. Take a look at
``config.sample.json``. The format is as follows:
* ``db``: JSON file in which Doveseed persists its data.
* ``rss``: URL to the RSS feed for which new notifications are to be send.
* ``smtp``
* ``host``: SMTP host used to send notification emails.
* ``port``: SMTP port used to send notification emails (defaul: ``0`` = auto-select).
* ``user``: SMTP logon user name.
* ``password``: SMTP logon password.
* ``ssl_mode``: Activate/deactivate SSL/TLS, valid values ``"no-ssl"``, ``"start-tls"``, ``"tls"`` (default ``"start-tls"``).
* ``check_hostname``: Whether to verify the hostname when using TLS (default ``true``).
* ``template_vars``: Defines template variables to replace in the email templates.
* ``display_name``: Name for the website to use in emails.
* ``host``: Hostname of the website.
* ``sender``: Email address that is sending the notifications.
* ``confirm_url_format``: Template for the URL that is used for confirmation
links. The following values will be replaced in it:
* ``{host}`` with the specified host,
* ``{email}`` with the email address to confirm,
* ``{token}`` with the confirmation token,
* ``{{`` and ``}}`` with ``{`` and ``}``.
* ``email_templates``: Path to the templates for the emails.
* ``confirm_timeout_minutes``: Timeout in minutes during which a subscription needs to be confirmed.
**Ensure that the configuration files have appropriate permissions, i.e. only
readable by you and Doveseed.**
By default the configuration filename is assumed to be ``config.json``.
Email templates
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Templates for the emails sent out are written in
`Jinja <https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/2.11.x/>`_.
Look in ``templates/example`` for example email templates.
There is a template for each type of email being sent:
* ``new-post.*``: for notifications about new posts,
* ``subscribe.*``: for requesting confirmation to a new subscription,
* and ``unsubscribe.*``: for requesting confirmation to a cancellation of a subscription.
Each of these templates consists out of three files:
* ``*.subject.txt``: for the subject line of the email,
* ``*.txt``: for the plain text version of the email,
* and ``*.html``: for the HTML version of the email.
REST service
^^^^^^^^^^^^
The REST service runs as a Python `ASGI app
<https://asgi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_. See the FastAPI documentation for
`deployment options <https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/deployment/>`_.
CORS
~~~~
To set appropriate CORS headers use the `FastAPI CORSMiddleware
<https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/tutorial/cors/>`_. Activate it by adding the
following lines to the file where you instantiate the app::
from doveseed.app import app
from fastapi.middleware.cors import CORSMiddleware
app.add_middleware(
CORSMiddleware,
allow_origins=["http://example.com"],
allow_methods=["GET", "POST"],
allow_headers=["Authorization"],
)
ReCaptcha
~~~~~~~~~
You activate `ReCaptcha (v2) <https://www.google.com/recaptcha/>`_ verification of
requests with Doveseed.
First, you need to install the required optional dependencies::
pip install 'doveseed[recaptcha]'
Then, add the follwing lines to the file where you instantiate the app::
from doveseed.app import app
from doveseed.recaptcha import ReCaptchaMiddleware
app.add_middleware = ReCaptchaMiddleware('^/(un)?subscribe/.*', 'recaptcha.json')
Also, create the ``recaptcha.json`` with the required ReCaptcha configuration:
* ``hostnames``: List of hostnames to accept ReCaptchas from.
* ``secret``: The shared key between your site and reCAPTCHA.
**Ensure that the configuration files have appropriate permissions, i.e. only
readable by you and Doveseed.**
Database cleanup
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Expired pending subscription can be cleaned from the database with::
python -m doveseed.cli clean <path to config file>
Ideally, this command is run once per day as a cron job.
Checking for new posts
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
To check for new post and send notification emails run::
python -m doveseed.cli notify <path to config file>
This can either run in a regular interval as a cron job or it can be triggered
in some way after new posts have been published.
**Run this command once to initialize the database before going live because
initially all items in the RSS feed will be considered to be old.** (This
prevents sending a notification email for all already existing items in the
feed.)
REST interface
--------------
Health
^^^^^^
To check the service health:
GET /health
Returns a 204 (no content) status if the service is up and running.
Subscribe
^^^^^^^^^
To subscribe with an email address::
POST /subscribe/<url encoded email>
Content-Type: application/json
{ captcha: "ReCaptcha returned from Google API" }
This will return a ``201 NO CONTENT`` and send out the email requesting
confirmation.
Unsubscribe
^^^^^^^^^^^
To unsubscribe an email address::
POST /unsubscribe/<url encoded email>
Content-Type: application/json
{ captcha: "ReCaptcha returned from Google API" }
This will return a ``201 NO CONTENT`` and send out the email requesting
confirmation if the email is subscribed.
Confirm
^^^^^^^
To confirm a request to subscribe or unsubscribe::
POST /confirm/<url encoded email>
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer <token from confirmation reuest email>
This will return a ``201 NO CONTENT`` on success,
and ``401 UNAUTHORIZED`` if the token or email is invalid.
