CERN: User defined notifications

Ability to set a notification workflow for specific files/directories to trigger a mail to a specific e-group/person.

TODO(labkode): provide more info, Watcher in Dropbox

Building blocks are in place:

  1. Reva emits all file related events and sends it to the nats service in ocis (on the edge branch)
  2. Nats is bundled in ocis but could also be used with a dedicated system. Nats is an industry standard and needs to be scaled accordingly
  3. We have an implementation in ocis for an email messaging service. That could also be a push-notifications service.

For sending mails, a dedicated service will be created that reads from the event queue and dispatches them.

@micbar can you paste here an event payload that contains for example "new file created"? I expect the payload to contain a path.

Can we have an example of a payload for a file created?

There are some examples

We'll implement in master based on the work in edge. The big chunk of work is in the driver, so by respecting the interface of edge we'll be on the safe side when moving to edge.

@labkode What can we do here? This seems to be CERN todo.

To update from what was discussed on the workshop in Feb. 2023, the current implemented state is:

  • oCIS Edge comes with a notification service. Currently that sends emails on the following events:
    • Share created, share expiered
    • Space shared, space unshared, space membership expired

The email text can be customized for the site using templates as in https://github.com/owncloud/ocis/tree/master/services/notifications/pkg/email/templates - just copy the templates to a custom dir, change it and point the environment variable OCIS_EMAIL_TEMPLATE_PATH to it.

Additional CERN wishes:

  • Have a checkbox when creating a share to enable email notification to the receivers, default off.
  • Prevention that email is sent to too many people unintentionally ("Shared with group all"). This can be done
    • hardcoded: NEVER send emails to groups with more than 100 (or x) receivers
    • as an attribute of the group, ie. "never send email if shared with this group".
