Email registration prototype

[neowinx]

Basic email registration prototype

Just spin up a smpt server (like docker run -d -p 25:25 namshi/smtp) and configure linka with these environment variables:

    MAIL_USERNAME=""
    MAIL_PASSWORD=""
    MAIL_FROM="linka@planeteers.org"
    MAIL_PORT=25
    MAIL_SERVER="localhost"
    MAIL_FROM_NAME="Linka"
    MAIL_TLS=False
    MAIL_SSL=False
    USE_CREDENTIALS=False

or use your gmail account, if you want, like here

The values of these variables can be found on the app/send_email.py

The hash challenge is just using the api_key_hash column of api_keys table but with a different algorithm in order to reuse the field for email validation and api_key storage

disclaimer:

• Input validation of the form is still returning json, but I am too lazy to correct this right now
• A lot of info still missing on the emails sended, but this makes me even moaar lazy, so I leave it to you guys :relaxed:
• Probably this approach will generate a lot of new inserts in api_keys per source (although this can be easily corrected)
• This is just a proposal, everything can be discarded if the maintainers find a better approbach, no hard feelings of course :smile_cat:

The power is yours!

Sorry for the late response, I was out of town

Sure. I will separate the corresponding parts in another project as soon as I have some spare time

I will close this PR in the meantime

regards!
