Kristian WindandClaude Opus 5 7c9bde2cfd docs(phase6): documentation site, landing page and open-source scaffolding
Material for MkDocs under docs/, covering self-hosting, the Rune, the
quick-add and filter languages, importing from Todoist, CalDAV,
mail-to-task, MCP, the AI layer and the API. The version is pinned: the
maintainers have announced that MkDocs 2.0 removes the plugin system
with no migration path, and an unpinned install would break this build
on the day it lands.

The landing page shows the quick-add parser as actual text rather than a
screenshot of it — that is the thing worth showing, and it reads better
as the real thing. It shares the app's design tokens, so the site and
what it describes look like one project.

MIT licence, contributing guide, security policy and issue templates.
Pages deployment is behind workflow_dispatch, so the docs build on every
push but nothing is published until the owner chooses to.

Configuration

Everything is an environment variable. There is no config file — a Rune has nowhere to put one that the operator would ever see.

Core

Variable Default What it does
VERDANDE_BASE_URL http://localhost:8080 The public address. Invite links, password resets, calendar feeds and the mail-to-task address are all built from it.
VERDANDE_ADDR :8080 Listen address.
VERDANDE_DATA_DIR /data Database, uploaded files and backups.
VERDANDE_DEV false Human-readable logs at debug level, and a relaxed origin check so a Vite dev server can connect. Never in production.
Variable Default What it does
VERDANDE_SESSION_TTL 720h How long a login lasts.
VERDANDE_INVITE_TTL 168h How long an invite link stays valid.
VERDANDE_RESET_TTL 1h How long a password-reset link stays valid.

Any Go duration: 720h, 30m, 45s.

Mail

Variable Default What it does
VERDANDE_SMTP_HOST — Blank disables outbound mail entirely.
VERDANDE_SMTP_PORT 587
VERDANDE_SMTP_USER —
VERDANDE_SMTP_PASS —
VERDANDE_SMTP_FROM verdande@localhost Sender address. Also decides the domain of the mail-to-task address.
VERDANDE_SMTP_STARTTLS true unless port 465 Port 465 is TLS from the first byte; everything else negotiates.
VERDANDE_SMTP_INSECURE false Skip certificate verification. For a self-signed internal mail server, and nothing else.

!!! info "Running without a mail server" Perfectly supported. Invite links are shown in the app for you to send yourself, password resets are written to the log, and reminders arrive in the app and as Web Push rather than by email.

What is not configured here

AI providers are per-user, under settings in the app — see AI. One person's key is not the instance's key.

The VAPID keypair for Web Push is generated on first use and stored in the database. There is nothing to set.
