+# Cal-Funnel
+
+Merge multiple iCalendar feeds into one and serve the result over HTTP. Built with [mergecal](https://pypi.org/project/mergecal/) and designed to run behind Traefik.
+
+## Quick start
+
+1. Copy the environment template:
+
+   ```bash
+   cp .env.example .env
+   ```
+
+2. Edit `.env` and set your calendar URLs and Traefik host.
+
+3. Start behind Traefik (requires external `proxy` network):
+
+   ```bash
+   docker compose up -d
+   ```
+
+4. Subscribe your calendar client to:
+
+   ```
+   https://<TRAEFIK_HOST>/calendar.ics
+   ```
+
+## Local testing (without Traefik)
+
+Create `docker-compose.override.yml` (gitignored) with a port mapping:
+
+```yaml
+services:
+  cal-funnel:
+    ports:
+      - "8080:8080"
+```
+
+Then run:
+
+```bash
+docker compose up -d
+curl http://localhost:8080/health
+curl http://localhost:8080/calendar.ics
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+| Variable | Default | Description |
+|----------|---------|-------------|
+| `CALENDAR_URLS` | *(required)* | Comma-separated iCal feed URLs |
+| `FETCH_INTERVAL_SECONDS` | `900` | How often feeds are re-fetched |
+| `PORT` | `8080` | HTTP listen port |
+| `CALENDAR_PATH` | `/calendar.ics` | Path served to calendar clients |
+| `HTTP_TIMEOUT_SECONDS` | `30` | Per-feed fetch timeout |
+| `PRODID` | *(optional)* | RFC5545 PRODID for merged calendar |
+| `TRAEFIK_HOST` | *(compose only)* | Hostname for Traefik routing |
+| `TRAEFIK_CERT_RESOLVER` | *(compose only)* | Traefik cert resolver name |
+
+## Endpoints
+
+| Path | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `/calendar.ics` | Merged iCalendar feed |
+| `/health` | Health check (`200` when ready) |
+| `/` | Short HTML page with subscription link |
+
+## Build image
+
+```bash
+docker build -t cal-funnel:latest .
+```

+Create a Docker environment with a minimal base OS. The container should use the 'mergecal' library to fetch multiple iCalendar feeds from URLs provided via environment variables, merge them into a single feed, and update this at regular intervals. The fetch interval should also be configurable via the .env file.
