# onboarding_system
This project automates the synchronization of local folders (`attachments` and `onboarded_person`) with corresponding directories in a Nextcloud instance. It checks for new or modified files in local folders and uploads them to the designated Nextcloud directories, using a persistent session for efficient authentication. Additionally, it includes features for email notification and PDF generation from HTML templates and CSV files.
## Features
- Generate pdf from the dynamic CSV file.
- Send email to to the recipient when it is necessary.
- Automatically syncs files between local folders and Nextcloud.
- Uploads only new or modified files to Nextcloud.
- Processes CSV attachments from emails to generate PDFs.
- Sends email notifications based on specific CSV content.
- Configurable synchronization interval (default is 60 seconds).
- Uses a persistent HTTP session for efficient communication with Nextcloud.
- Tracks files locally to prevent re-uploading of unchanged files.
## Requirements
- Python 3.8+
- Required Python libraries:
- `requests`
- `python-dotenv`
- `HTTPBasicAuth` (from `requests`)
- `pandas`
- `jinja2`
- `pdfkit`
- `PyPDF2`
- `imaplib`
- `email`
- `smtplib`
## Setup
### Step 1: Clone the Repository
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Bostame/onboarding_system.git
cd onboarding_system
```
### Step 2: Install Dependencies
Make sure you have Python 3.8+ installed. Use the following command to install dependencies:
```bash
pip install -r requirements.yml
```
### Step 3: Configure Environment Variables
Create an `.env` file inside the `env/` directory with the following content:
```env
# Nextcloud credentials and URLs
NEXTCLOUD_BASE_URL=https://your-nextcloud-url/remote.php/dav/files/your-user
NEXTCLOUD_USERNAME=your-username
NEXTCLOUD_PASSWORD=your-password
NEXTCLOUD_DIRECTORY=Group-on-off-boarding
# Sync interval in seconds (default: 60 seconds)
SYNC_INTERVAL=60
# Local folder paths
TEMPLATES_DIR=templates
ATTACHMENTS_DIR=attachments
ONBOARDED_DIR=onboarded_person
TEMP_PDF_DIR=temp_pdf
EMAIL_TEXT_DIR=email_text
# Email details (if applicable)
IMAP_SERVER=imap.example.com
SMTP_SERVER=smtp.example.com
EMAIL_PORT=465
EMAIL_ACCOUNT=your-email@example.com
PASSWORD=your-email-password
MINUTH_EMAIL=minuth@example.com
DRITICH_EMAIL=dritich@example.com
```
### Step 4: Create Local Folders
Ensure the following local directories exist:
- `attachments/`
- `onboarded_person/`
- `templates/`
- `temp_pdf/`
- `email_text/`
You can modify these folder paths via the `.env` file as needed.
### Step 5: Run the Script
To manually run the synchronization and CSV processing:
```bash
python sync_script.py
```
### Creating Systemd Service Units
To continuously run the synchronization and processing in the background, create systemd service units.
#### Step 1: Create the `nextcloud-sync.service` Unit
1. Create a service file:
```bash
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/nextcloud-sync.service
```
2. Add the following content to the file:
```ini
[Unit]
Description=Nextcloud Folder Sync Service
After=network.target
[Service]
User=root
Environment="PATH=/root/miniconda3/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"
WorkingDirectory=/path/to/your/project
ExecStart=/bin/bash -lc 'source /root/miniconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh && conda activate csv_pdf && /root/miniconda3/envs/csv_pdf/bin/python sync_script.py'
Restart=always
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```
3. Save the file and close it.
#### Step 2: Reload Systemd Daemon
```bash
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
```
#### Step 3: Enable and Start the Service
```bash
sudo systemctl enable nextcloud-sync.service
sudo systemctl start nextcloud-sync.service
```
#### Step 4: Check the Service Status
```bash
sudo systemctl status nextcloud-sync.service
```
### Logging
To view logs for the `nextcloud-sync` service, use the following command:
```bash
journalctl -u nextcloud-sync.service
```
