Bridge: Life Dashboard Companion → Nextcloud Health v3
Minimal MVP. Forwards only the weight records from the Companion webhook
payload to Health v3's POST /entries endpoint, one entry per record, since
weight is currently the only OpenScale-relevant metric Health v3 has built in.
Requires Python 3.10+ (uses str | None type hints).
Setup
# One-time: obtain a Nextcloud app password via Login Flow v2.
# Opens a browser tab, confirm the login there, then this writes credentials.json.
uv run nc_login_flow.py https://your-nextcloud.example.com
# Set the same HMAC secret configured under "Webhook Headers" in the Companion app.
export NC_WEBHOOK_SECRET="..."
uv run server.py
Point the Companion app's webhook URL at http://<this-host>:8080/webhook/health-connect.
Scope
- Verifies
X-Signature: sha256=<hmac>on every request; rejects with 401 on mismatch (Companion does not retry on 401). - Only reads the
weightarray; everything else in the payload is ignored. - Uses the Health Connect record
uuidas Health'soperationIdfor idempotent retries where it parses as a UUID. - Returns 502 on partial forwarding failure so the Companion app retries the whole payload later (transient failures are retried by the app).
Not yet covered
- Body fat / muscle mass / body water (not yet built into Health v3; muscle mass and body water aren't even on Health v3's roadmap — see the main README's architecture diagram).
- Blood pressure, steps, activity (add once this MVP is proven out).
- Containerized deployment (currently a local script only, per the current iteration's scope).
