Catch incoming email and save the attachments to nextcloud (or any webdav backend).
This project is a simple HTTP service that accepts multipart form POSTs containing structured email data. It validates the attachments and uploads them to a Nextcloud folder based on the recipient. You can have "work-filedrop@yourdomain.com" route files to a separate folder than "personal-filedrop@yourdomain.com".
This service supports two incoming email sources:
- py-imap-to-http recommended, self-hosted imap watcher
- Mailgun's Inbound Routing only available with monthly subscription plan, not available on the pay as you go plan
Easiest way to get going is using docker.
- Go fetch my fork of py-imap-to-http
- Copy
docker-compose.sample.ymltodocker-compose.yml - Edit the
build: ../py-imap-to-httpline in the imap service to the location of the dir from step 1 - Fill in your env vars.
docker-compose up
This project requires Python 3, and the python deps in requirements.txt. Using
a virtualenv is recommended.
cp env-sample .env
# Edit .env with your values
pip install -r requirements.dev.txt
I recommend creating a specific nextcloud user to run this under rather than your own account. Just share your inbox dirs to the user.
The settings should be self explanatory, except NCFD_ROUTES.
NCFD_ROUTES should be a comma separated list of email, path pairs which
themselves are separated by colons. Each email represents a recipient, and the
path is the remote path in Nextcloud that attachments from the recipient will be
uploaded to. This lets you run multiple filedrop emails from one instance.
python -m ncfd
