Tasks tab: NE Hub lists plus iCloud reminder lists where Apple exposes them
- Lists, quick add, due dates, notes, complete/reopen, delete; Home card for overdue/due today
- iCloud VTODO lists read and written over CalDAV (If-Match, edits patch the latest copy so
  priority/alarms survive); NE Hub lists work regardless
- Fix: text inside a nested VALARM was read as the task's / event's own description and then
  written back on edit; nested components are now skipped (regression tests added)

NE Hub

One installable web app (PWA) for Seafile, OnlyOffice and your four webmail accounts. Mobile-first; bottom tabs on phones, side rail on iPad and desktop (tuned for 12.9" at 1024 and 1366 wide).

Configure

cp .env.example .env     # set ONLYOFFICE_JWT_SECRET (same value as the Document Server) and PUBLIC_URL

PUBLIC_URL must be an address the OnlyOffice server can reach (not localhost): it posts saved edits back there.

Run

docker compose up -d --build     # http://localhost:8080
# or: node server.js

Put it behind your reverse proxy with HTTPS (needed for "Add to Home Screen" and the service worker), e.g. hub.necloud.us. Settings: SEAFILE_URL, ONLYOFFICE_URL env vars in docker-compose.yml.

What each part does

  • Files: signs in with your Seafile account, browses libraries, uploads, creates folders, downloads, deletes. The server proxies /sf/* to Seafile because Seafile sends no CORS headers. Token lives in the browser only. Office files open in Seafile's own OnlyOffice integration.
  • Edit here: opens docs inside the app via OnlyOffice. The server signs each editor config with the JWT secret and saves edits back to Seafile.
  • Sign-in: the whole app sits behind a passkey (WebAuthn). First run: open the site and enter the setup code (HUB_SETUP_CODE, or the one printed in the server log) to create a passkey; add more devices from Settings. Passkeys and the session secret live in /data (a Docker volume).
  • Files: also rename, move, share links, image/PDF/video/audio preview, and New document/spreadsheet/presentation.
  • Calendar: month grid and agenda. Add, edit and delete events:
    • NE Hub calendar: events you create are stored in /data/events.json and published as a private subscribe link (Manage calendars -> copy link) so Outlook, Google or Apple Calendar can show them (read-only there).
    • iCloud (two-way): connect with an Apple ID and an app-specific password (appleid.apple.com). Credentials are encrypted in /data/icloud.json; only *.icloud.com is contacted. Edits keep alarms and attendees intact.
    • ICS links (Google secret address, Outlook/M365 published calendar) are read-only.
  • Tasks: to-do lists stored in NE Hub (/data/tasks.json), with due dates, notes and completion. If the connected iCloud account exposes reminder lists over CalDAV they appear too and sync both ways. Apple hides Reminders lists that were upgraded for iOS 13+, so for most accounts only NE Hub lists are available.
  • Search: libraries, file names (scans libraries if Seafile has no search index) and Plex artists/albums/tracks.
  • Music: Plex player. Sign in goes through plex.tv (no password handled), the server proxies your Plex server and adds the token itself, and a mini player keeps playing as you move between tabs; the queue (play next / add to queue) and position are remembered.
  • Audio: embeds audiobooks.necloud.us; sign-in details saved in Settings can be copied with one tap.
  • Podcast and Podcast Admin: launchers that open PODCAST_URL (a home-network address) and VERSE_URL in their own tabs.
  • Office: embeds onlyoffice.necloud.us in a frame, with an "open in new tab" fallback if it blocks framing.
  • Mail: deep links to Gmail, Outlook.com, Microsoft 365 and iCloud webmail (inbox + compose). Providers forbid framing, and a real unified inbox would need Google/Azure app registrations.

Build and deploy with Gitea

.gitea/workflows/build.yml builds the container on every push to main (and v* tags) and pushes it to git.necloud.us/nate/hub (tags: latest, short commit sha, git tag). amd64 (x86) only.

One-time setup in Gitea: create an access token with the write:package scope, then add it to the repo under Settings -> Actions -> Secrets as REGISTRY_TOKEN (optionally REGISTRY_USER). The runner needs Docker.

On the server:

cp .env.example .env                # fill in secrets, PUBLIC_URL, etc.
docker compose pull && docker compose up -d
docker compose logs hub | grep "Setup code"   # first sign-in: create your passkey
