rays b94a74ef15 Sign out through the proxy when the proxy signed you in
Sign out cleared ipx's cookies and showed its password page, while
Cloudflare Access still vouched for the person: nothing was signed out,
and the page looked like the wrong login. /api/me now says, for someone
the proxy signed in, where to go instead ([web] sign_out_url, which is
/cdn-cgi/access/logout behind Access), and /login sends anyone the proxy
vouches for on to their feeds. The header check both use is one function.

# Configuration
One TOML file, read at startup and re-read whenever the web UI writes to it — most changes take
effect without a restart. Default location `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/ipx/config.toml`
(`~/.config/ipx/config.toml`), overridden with `--config` or `$IPX_CONFIG`.
| What | Where | Override |
|---|---|---|
| Config | `~/.config/ipx/config.toml` | `--config`, `$IPX_CONFIG` |
| Database | `~/.local/share/ipx/state.db` | `$IPX_DATA_DIR` |
| Control socket | `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/ipx.sock` | `[general] socket` |
| Downloads | `[general] download_dir` | — |
`~` is expanded in paths. The database is SQLite in WAL mode; back it up by copying `state.db`
while the daemon is stopped, or with `sqlite3 state.db .backup`.
## `[general]`
```toml
[general]
download_dir = "~/Podcasts"
socket = "/run/user/1000/ipx.sock"
schedule = "every 1h" # "every 30m", "every 4h", "2d", "90" (minutes)
organize = "feed" # "feed" | "date"
max_total_gb = 50 # 0 = unlimited
max_age_days = 30 # 0 = keep forever
max_new_per_check = 3 # per feed, per scan. 0 = unlimited
media_types = ["audio", "video"]
```
* **`schedule`** — how often feeds are re-checked. A feed's own `<ttl>` still wins when it asks to
be polled *less* often, and a per-feed `schedule` overrides both. Admin-only from the UI.
* **`organize`** — `feed` files downloads under the feed's folder; `date` under `YYYY-MM-DD`.
* **`max_total_gb`** — the reaper deletes to get back under this, oldest first, keeping a 50 MB
pad. Kept items are never deleted, and a file only counts as read once every subscriber has
read it. `0` disables it entirely.
* **`max_age_days`** — items older than this with no file on disk are pruned from the database.
Kept ones stay. `0` disables it.
* **`max_new_per_check`** — the cap that stops a new subscription pulling a whole back catalogue.
`0` means unlimited, which is rarely what you want: subscribing to an OPML of 80 feeds with no cap
fetched 216 files and 22 GB in one scan.
* **`media_types`** — top-level MIME types taken automatically. Anything else is still listed and
can be fetched by hand; blog feeds put each article's header image in an `<enclosure>`, and
without this the disk fills with artwork. Empty takes everything.
## `[torrent]`
```toml
[torrent]
enabled = true
seed_ratio = 1.0 # stop seeding at this ratio ...
seed_time_mins = 60 # ... or after this long, whichever comes first
port_range = "6881-6889"
stall_mins = 30 # give up on a torrent making no progress
```
A `.torrent` body is handed to the torrent path whatever MIME type it was advertised as. Torrents
run on their own tasks (two at a time) so a slow swarm never blocks a scan.
## `[web]`
```toml
[web]
enabled = true
bind = "0.0.0.0:8099" # 127.0.0.1:8080 by default
token = "" # generated and saved on first run
trusted_header = "" # e.g. "Cf-Access-Authenticated-User-Email"
trusted_proxies = ["127.0.0.1", "::1"]
auto_create_users = true
sign_out_url = "" # e.g. "/cdn-cgi/access/logout"
session_days = 30
```
* **`token`** — the shared secret, which signs in as the **admin**. `?token=…` sets a cookie, so
you paste it once per browser. It is what the Docker healthcheck and any scripts use.
* **`trusted_header`** — a header naming the signed-in user, set by whatever fronts ipx. Empty
disables that path. See [sso.md](sso.md).
* **`trusted_proxies`** — addresses allowed to assert that header, and the entire security boundary
for it. Name the proxy, never a subnet.
* **`auto_create_users`** — create an account the first time the proxy vouches for a new name.
* **`sign_out_url`** — where Sign out sends someone the proxy signed in: the proxy's own sign-out,
`/cdn-cgi/access/logout` behind Cloudflare Access. Empty sends them to the sign-in page, where
the proxy signs them straight back in.
* **`session_days`** — sign a session out after this long without a request.
It is plain HTTP. On a LAN bind everything crosses the network in the clear — and a feed URL can
itself carry a credential. Put TLS in front of it if that matters.
## `[feeds.<id>]`
The table key is the feed id: stable, human-readable, and used in paths and the API. `ipx add`
derives it from the feed title.
```toml
[feeds.atp]
url = "https://atp.fm/rss"
folder = "Accidental Tech Podcast" # default: the feed title
schedule = "every 6h" # overrides [general] for this feed
media_types = ["audio"] # overrides [general] for this feed
username = "ray" # HTTP basic auth
password_env = "IPX_ATP_PASS" # preferred over a literal `password`
```
With more than one account, **`keywords`, `auto_download`, `allow_explicit` and
`max_new_per_check` live on each person's subscription in the database**, not here — the values in
config.toml are the fallback for a feed nobody has claimed. The keys above describe the feed itself
and are the same for everyone. See [users.md](users.md).
Feeds derived from a subscribed OPML are **not** written here: the OPML is the source of truth and
they are re-derived on every scan. Editing one in the UI promotes it to a real config entry.
## Environment
| Variable | Effect |
|---|---|
| `IPX_CONFIG` | Config file path |
| `IPX_DATA_DIR` | Directory holding `state.db` |
| `IPX_LOG` | What reaches stderr (`ipx=debug`, `ipx::scan=debug`, …) |
| `IPX_UI_LOG` | What the in-process log buffer captures for the UI's Log view |
| `http_proxy` / `https_proxy` | Honoured for feed and enclosure fetches |
