myges-ics-stream

Serving my class schedule over HTTP as iCalendar for easy importing.

Why?

It often takes several minutes to load one's timetable from my school's offical website.
This small Python program provides an HTTP endpoint that will serve the provided user's schedule in iCalendar format, and that can be subscribed to using one's favorite calendar app.

How to run

Clone the repository, set the required environment variables in .env, then run

docker compose up -d

Alternatively, use the Docker image available on Docker Hub, like so:

services:
  myges-ics-stream:
    image: ryanmalonzo/myges-ics-stream:latest
    container_name: myges
    environment:
      MYGES_USERNAME: ${MYGES_USERNAME}
      MYGES_PASSWORD: ${MYGES_PASSWORD}
    restart: unless-stopped

Usage

By default, the calendar will be available on port 8080, at /calendar.
If running locally, an example URL would be http://localhost:8080/calendar or http://<local-ip>:8080/calendar.

Environment variables

Environment variable	Description	Example value	Required?
MYGES_USERNAME	Your MyGES username.	rmalonzo	True
MYGES_PASSWORD	Your MyGES password.	mypassword123	True
FETCH_INTERVAL_MINUTES	The time until each refresh of the calendar. Defaults to 60 minutes.	120	False
TIMEZONE	The TZ identifier for the calendar as described here. Defaults to Etc/UTC.	Asia/Tokyo	False

Important

In most cases, Etc/UTC should be the right value regardless of where you actually live. Instead, you should set the correct timezone in your calendar app settings.

Troubleshooting

Google Calendar

The subscription URL will not work if the DNS record is proxied through Cloudflare.
To avoid this, Bot Fight Mode needs to be turned off in Security > Bots.
