Test how often google calendar pulls ics feeds

readme.md

Testing to see how often google calendar really pulls our ics feeds. The ics file we are hosting has a 15 minute TTL. This docker container hosts it in nginx and stores logs.

(Using a docker container so that easy to find in logs and not polluted by other things)

on host:

1. in /etc/nginx/sites-available/recaltest.conf:

upstream recaltest.localhost {
    server 127.0.0.1:3165;
}

server {

    #listen 80;

    gzip_types text/plain text/css application/json application/x-javascript
               text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript;

    server_name dev.recal.io;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://recaltest.localhost;
        include /etc/nginx/proxy_params;
    }
}

2. make symlink to it in sites-enabled

3. sudo service nginx reload

4. run.sh

5. add to gcal, look at logs after a few hours. then stop.sh.

default

server {
    root /var/www;
    index index.html index.htm;

    # Make site accessible from http://localhost/
    server_name localhost;

    location / {
        # First attempt to serve request as file, then
        # as directory, then fall back to index.html
        #try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
    }

    location = /monitoring/health {
	  return 200;
	  access_log off; # don't log the healthcheck calls
	}
}
