Setup CardDAV client

Sinusbot doesn't allow direct communication via DAV, so this client runs seperately. They communicate via ws://127.0.0.1:23845, so the DAV program has to run on the same host as Sinusbot.

1. Download ws-server.js and node_modules into a seperate folder.

git clone https://github.com/subDesTagesMitExtraKaese/sinusbot-birthday-script
cd sinusbot-birthday-script

2. Create secrets.js and enter your CardDAV server credentials.

module.exports = {
  davUrl:         'https://example.com/dav.php',
  davUsername:    'username',
  davPassword:    'password',
  davAddressBook: ''
}

3. install node.js

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt install nodejs

4. test the program with sinusbot running

node ws-server.js

5. make it run on boot: create /lib/systemd/system/sinusbot-birthday-sync.service
