Event Notifier

This is a Python script that fetches events from an iCalendar feed and posts a summary of the day's events to a designated Slack channel. The script is designed to run daily using a Docker container and a cron job.

Prerequisites

To run this script, you will need the following:

A Slack bot token with the chat:write & channels:join scopes
An iCalendar feed URL
Docker installed on your system

Configuration

Before running the script, you need to set the following environment variables:

SLACK_BOT_TOKEN: Your Slack bot token
SLACK_CHANNEL: The name of the Slack channel to post the events summary to
ICS_URL: The URL of the iCalendar feed

You can set these variables using a .env file in the root of the project. There is an example file provided (example.env).

Usage

To run the script, use the following command:

docker-compose up

This will start the Docker container and run the script at 9am Eastern Time every day.

Modifying the Script

If you need to modify the script to meet your requirements, you can do so by editing the main.py file in the root of the project. Once you have made your changes, rebuild the Docker image using the following command:

docker-compose build
