A small flask application to create NextCloud users on request based on presence (and properties) of users in Action Network.
Created for Stroud District Green Party (where we use NextCloud for local file sharing), so that anyone who is currently a member of the Green Party of England and Wales (which uses Action Network to maintain membership information) and is linked to the local party, can get a NextCloud account.
In order not to publicly reveal whether or not someone is a party member, the application will only send information to the e-mail address entered. Messages on screen do not reveal whether or not an e-mail address was found amongst registered users.
It's unlikely anyone else will have the exact same use case - but shared under MIT license just in case.
Edit the an_status_check function in app.py to configure the action network variables checked for each potential nextcloud user.
Copy template.env to .env and complete the following variables:
NC_HOST= - Nextcloud base URL
NC_USER= - Username of NextCloud user with API access
NC_PASSWORD= - Application password used for API access to NextCloud
AN_KEY= - ActionNetwork API Key
MAIL_SERVER= - SMTP server used to send e-amil
MAIL_PORT= - SMTP port used to send e-mail

MAIL_PASSWORD= - SMTP password
RECAPTCHA_SITE_KEY= - ReCaptcha v2 credentials from https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin/create
