# `lfm_embed`
A simple webserver for rendering a last.fm embed.

More specifically, this displays a simple webpage with info about your current or most recent last.fm scrobble.
Its intended use is to be put on a personal site or whatever.

## Usage
`lfm_embed` is, as it stands, designed to use a reverse proxy.
A future release may include HTTPS support, but currently, it will only listen on `localhost`, prohibiting it from public access.
Once configured, a request of the form `http://localhost:9999/<last.fm username>` will render out an embed with the default theme.

As it stands, there are no plans to support displaying users with private listen history.

***

## Configuration
Configuration should be done via the environment.
`lfm_embed` also supports reading from a standard `.env` file.
The following are the environment variables which `lfm_embed` understands.

***

### `LMFE_API_KEY` (Required)
Your last.fm API key. You'll need to create one [here](https://www.last.fm/api/account/create) for self-hosting.

### `LFME_WHITELIST_MODE` (Default: `"open"`)
The following(case-insensitive) values are supported:
- `open`: Allow requests for all users.
- `exclusive`: Only allow requests for users in `LFME_WHITELIST`, returning HTTP 403 for all others. `LFME_WHITELIST` _must_ be set if this mode is enabled.

If the user requested has their listen history private, a 403 will be returned.

### `LFME_WHITELIST` (Default: `""`)
This is expected to be a sequence of comma-separated usernames.
Leading/trailing whitespace will be stripped, and unicode is fully supported.

### `LFME_WHITELIST_REFRESH` (Default: `"1m"`)
The amount of time to cache whitelisted user info for.
It is interpreted as a sequence of `<num><suffix>` values, where `num` is a positive integer,
and `suffix` is one of `y`,`mon`,`w`,`d`,`h`,`m`,`s`, `ms`, `µs`, or `ns`, each of which
corresponds to a self-explanatory unit of time.
For most practical applications, one should only use `m` and `s`, as caching your current listen for more than that time has the potential to omit most songs.
Parsing is delegated to the [`duration_str`](https://docs.rs/duration-str/latest/duration_str/) crate, and further info may be found there.

### `LFME_DEFAULT_REFRESH` (Default: `"5m"`)
The amount of time to cache non-whitelisted user info for.
See `LFME_WHITELIST_REFRESH` for more info.

### `LFME_PORT` (Default: `9999`)
The port to serve on locally.

### `LFME_THEME_DIR`
If set, must be a valid path to a directory containing [Handlebars](https://handlebarsjs.com/guide/#language-features) files, ending in LFME_THEME_EXT.
They will be registered as themes on top of the builtin ones, with each theme's name being their filename minus the extension.
Same-named themes will override builtin ones.

Theme names are the same as their path, minus the extension. Given an extension of .hbs, a directory like:
```
themes/
  mytheme.hbs
  myothertheme.hbs
  myunrelatedfile.css
  alices-themes/
    mytheme.hbs
    mysuperawesometheme.hbs
```
results in the following themes:
```
mytheme
myothertheme
alices-themes/mytheme
alices-themes/mysuperawesometheme
```

By default, these are loaded and compiled once, at startup.

### `LFME_THEME_EXT` (Default: `hbs`)
The file extension for themes in `LFME_THEME_DIR`.

### `LFME_THEME_DEV` (Default: `0`)
If set to `1`, existing themes will be reloaded on edit.

Note: Even with this mode, adding a new theme requires a full reload.
Themes are only enumerated once, at startup. (This is a limitation of the [`handlebars`](https://docs.rs/handlebars/latest/handlebars) implementation in use, and may change.)

### `LFME_THEME_DEFAULT` (Default: `"plain"`)
The theme to use when no query string is present.

### `LFME_LOG_LEVEL` (Default: `"warn"`)
The loglevel. This is actually parsed as an [`env_logger`](https://docs.rs/env_logger/latest/env_logger) filter string.
Read the docs for more info.

### `LFME_LOG_FILE`
If set, logs will be written to the specified file. Otherwise, logs are written to `stderr`.

### `LFME_NO_REFRESH` (Default: `0`)
If set to `1`, disable outputting of the HTML `meta http-eqiv="refresh"` tag, used for live status updates.

## Example Configuration
```ini
LFME_API_KEY=0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef
LFME_LOG_LEVEL=error
LFME_PORT=3000

LFME_WHITELIST_REFRESH=30s
LFME_WHITELIST_MODE=exclusive
LFME_WHITELIST=a_precious_basket_case, realRiversCuomo, Pixiesfan12345
```
