-#+TITLE: Org Agenda As My New Tab Page
-#+DATE: 2021-01-13T20:02:32-05:00
-#+DRAFT: true
-#+DESCRIPTION:
-#+TAGS[]: emacs org-mode agenda
-#+KEYWORDS[]: emacs org-mode agenda
-#+SLUG:
-#+SUMMARY:
-
-I absolutely love [[https://orgmode.org/][Org mode]]. I use it extensively almost every day to
-keep track of tasks and due dates, both for my personal life and at
-work. A lot of this workflow centres around the [[https://orgmode.org/features.html#agendas][org agenda]], which
-compiles all the current and upcoming tasks and due dates from several
-files into a single view.
-
-The only gripe I had with it was that I had to be within Emacs to use
-it. This wasn't a deal breaker, but there were often times when I
-wanted to check my agenda, but I wasn't already in Emacs. In these
-cases I had to open Emacs and pull up the agenda. This felt a little
-clunky for something I may check a dozen times every day.
-
-The solution I came up with was a way to automatically generate and
-export an HTML version of my agenda every 15 minutes on my server.
-That way I can serve it over HTTP and access it on all my devices.
-They are also password protected so that strangers on the internet
-can't see my agenda.
-
-The heart of this system is a small set of scripts I wrote called
-[[https://github.com/dantecatalfamo/agenda-html][agenda-html]], which let you export a fully fontified view of the org
-agenda to HTML without having to open Emacs in a terminal. This means
-it can be easily scripted.
-
-My org mode files are synchronized between my machines using a
-self-hosted [[https://nextcloud.com/][Nextcloud]] instance. This means that I have access to all
-my up to date org documents on a remote machine, which will come in
-handy very soon.
-
-To start setting things up, I first cloned [[https://github.com/dantecatalfamo/agenda-html][agenda-html]] onto the server
-which hosts my Nextcloud.
-
-I edited =config.el= and set the location of the org files I wanted
-included in the agenda. These files are located inside of the
-Nextcloud storage directory. This would typically be somewhere like
-=/var/www/nextcloud/data/<user>/files/Org=. I then set the output for
-HTML to be =/var/www/html/agenda/agenda.html=, so that it is served by
-=nginx=.
-
-To protect the =/agenda= path, I then put it behind basic auth.
-
-To do this I downloaded =apache2-utils= for the =htpasswd= tool and
-used it to generate an =htpasswd= file at =/etc/nginx/htpasswd=.
-
-#+begin_src sh
-htpasswd -c /etc/nginx/htpasswd <user>
-#+end_src
-
-I then opened the site's nginx config file in my text editor and
-added these lines.
-
-#+begin_src js
-location /agenda {
- auth_basic "Agenda Files";
- auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/htpasswd;
-}
-#+end_src
-
-Then I reloaded =nginx= using the command =nginx -s reload=.
-
-Finally I edited root's crontab to run =agenda-html.sh= every 15
-minutes, using this line.
-
-#+begin_src
-*/15 * * * * /root/agenda-html/agenda-html.sh
-#+end_src
-
-Now every 15 minutes the latest version of my org files are pulled
-from my Nextcloud storage and exported as an agenda, which I can view
-from any device. I'm also able to set as the new tab page in my
-browser. I'm even able to check it from my phone now that I no longer
-have to have Emacs installed on a device.
