bobbanandClaude Sonnet 5 aae4f0d74f Add maintenance mode to silence alerts while working on a server or integration
Rebooting Proxmox or patching a server triggered failure/offline alerts
you then had to dismiss. A maintenance window silences alerts about one
server, integration, or DNS provider for a chosen time. New Maintenance
page (start with a duration and optional reason, end early, see what's
silenced and what isn't) and a banner in the app shell so every signed-in
user can see what is currently silenced. Starting/ending is operator-only
and audit-logged; starting one on a target that already has a window
restarts its clock instead of stacking.

Silenced for the target: server offline/disk alerts, Proxmox/Synology
storage and health alerts, Proxmox backup alerts, and "integration down"
alerts. Not silenced: expiry and update reminders, DNS change notices.

The design goal is that this cannot hide a real outage:
- Every window has a required end (5 min to 7 days); there is no
  open-ended option, so a forgotten window expires by itself.
- A silenced problem is deliberately NOT recorded as "known". If it is
  still present when the window ends it alerts then, as new. A problem
  that was already alerted before the window stays known, so it isn't
  repeated, and is reported cleared only after the window ends.
- Failure alerts keep counting failures during a window without marking
  themselves alerted, so an outage that outlasts the window alerts on the
  very next failed call.

Known limitation, stated on the page: integration-failure alerts are
tracked per service TYPE (all "proxmox"), not per configured instance, so
a window on one Proxmox integration also silences a failure on a second
Proxmox integration while it's open. Fixing that means threading the
integration id through every adapter and the diagnostic log, which is a
much larger change than this feature.

Also moved the API-error-message helper out of Secrets.tsx into a shared
util now that two pages use it. New table maintenance_windows (migration
0008).

Verified with 44 checks: the condition-key-to-subject mapping (including
server:3 vs server:33), the diff rules with silenced subjects (new problem
not recorded, alerts when the window ends; already-known one carried and
not repeated; clears only after the window), window expiry and
integration/DNS-provider source matching, the failure tracker end to end
against a webhook (silent during a window while an unrelated service still
alerts; outage that outlasts the window alerts on the next failure and
only once; fail-and-recover fully inside a window sends nothing), a full
health pass against a real window, and the real router with a stubbed
session (role rules, duration bounds including the missing-duration case,
extend-not-stack, 404s, deleted targets hidden, audit entries). Real dev
database mtime untouched.

Not done: I haven't clicked through the new page or banner in a browser
(they sit behind the Authentik login); it builds and the API behind it is
tested.

# Homelab Manager
Repository: `git@10.200.5.13:bobban/Homelab-manager.git` ([gitea.labsconnect.se/bobban/Homelab-manager](https://gitea.labsconnect.se/bobban/Homelab-manager) externally).
A single dashboard for a homelab: Proxmox, Synology DSM, Semaphore, Tailscale,
Gitea, and Dockhand/Docker status and basic actions, plus DNS record
management, an IP address inventory (IPAM), and a secret-expiry tracker
(ported from [Sloth Manager](../Sloth%20manager)) and scheduled-task tracking
across Debian/Raspbian hosts (ported from
[Schedule Task Manager](../ScheduleTaskManager)). Looks and feels like a
[Tabler](https://tabler.io) admin dashboard. Sign-in is delegated to
Authentik (OIDC), with local admin/operator/viewer roles.
## Status
All modules from the original plan are built:
- Monorepo scaffold, Tabler-themed app shell/navigation
- Authentik OIDC login, roles (first user to sign in becomes admin), audit log
- **Dashboard** — an overview of every system this app tracks, all sharing
one widget-card design (label + status badge, a small stat row, then its
own breakdown): DNS (domain/record counts per provider, cached records by
type), Secrets (monitored/expiring/expired, by type), and one widget per
integration — Tailscale by OS, Proxmox by node (VM/LXC counts too),
Dockhand by container state (plus host count), Semaphore and Gitea by
last-run status (plus private-repo count), and Synology's CPU/RAM
alongside its disk-health breakdown. Breakdowns render as a stacked
proportion bar with a legend — no charting
library, matching the rest of the app's plain-Tabler-CSS approach.
- **Diagnostic Log** (admin-only) — every call this app makes to a DNS
provider or integration (Tailscale, Proxmox, Synology, Semaphore, Gitea,
Dockhand), success or failure, with latency and the error message if it
failed — the last 500 calls, filterable by source/result, for
troubleshooting connectivity issues (ported from Sloth Manager's
provider-diagnostics log, generalized to cover every integration this app
has, not just DNS)
- **Secrets** — expiry tracking for API tokens/certs/passwords. An SSL
certificate can optionally be given a host:port to watch: the app opens a
real TLS connection (daily, and on demand via "Check now"), reads the
certificate's actual expiry, and keeps the date current — so a renewed cert
is picked up automatically and an unreachable host is flagged instead of
silently going stale
- **IP Addresses (IPAM)** — inventory of IPs across vendors/locations,
with "Sync from Tailscale" and "Sync from Proxmox" actions to pull in
tailnet device IPs and VM/LXC IPs (never overwrites a
manually-entered IP), and each entry now shows its matching DNS
record(s) from the DNS module's cache
- **DNS** — zone/record management across Cloudflare, Loopia, Pi-hole, Azure
DNS, cPanel, and Technitium; providers are configured in-app (not via env
vars) and their credentials are encrypted at rest
- **Servers** — cron/systemd tracking across Debian/Raspbian servers via a
lightweight push agent (`agent/linux/`), plus manual entries for things an
agent can't see (Docker jobs, backups). The Servers page itself just lists
registered servers and (admin-only) adds new ones / issues agent tokens;
clicking a server opens its detail page with CPU/RAM/disk status, IP
addresses, matching DNS names (looked up from the DNS module's cache), and
its scheduled tasks — live hardware from Proxmox for VM/LXC-backed
servers, or from the agent's own hardware report for everything else,
both showing the same per-disk usage breakdown (an LXC's root filesystem
read straight from the host; a QEMU VM's actual mounts via its guest
agent, alongside the allocated size Proxmox already knew about without
one). Proxmox-linked servers also get start/stop/restart buttons right on the
detail page. The detail page also has an **Admin Links** section
(operator/admin to add/edit/remove) for bookmarking that server's own
admin UIs — Dockge, Webmin, Cockpit, Portainer, or anything else reachable
by URL. Since not every server is a Proxmox VM, an admin can hide the
"Proxmox link" card per server ("Not a VM? Hide this" / "+ Show Proxmox
link options") — it stays visible regardless once a server actually is
linked, so unlinking is always reachable.
- **Tailscale**, **Proxmox**, **Synology**, **Semaphore**, **Gitea**,
and **Docker** each get their own top-level page (backed by the
matching integration) instead of living inside a shared Integrations
browsing view:
- **Tailscale** — device list with online/authorized status, and
authorize/deauthorize/remove actions; a live device-count widget.
- **Proxmox** — VM/LXC status across every node in the cluster, with
start/restart/shutdown/stop actions; a live running/total widget. Each
online node also gets its own host-stats card — uptime, CPU usage/cores/
load average, RAM and swap usage, and per-storage usage (local, LVM-thin,
ZFS, NFS, etc). Supports self-signed certificates (common in homelab
setups).
- **Synology** — volume and disk health (read-only by design).
Supports self-signed certificates.
- **Semaphore** — Ansible run status per template across every
project, with a "Run" action to trigger a template; a live
template-count widget (with a last-failed warning).
- **Gitea** — repo list with each repo's last CI run status, and
re-running just the failed jobs in a run; a live repo-count widget
(with a failing-build warning).
- **Docker** — container status across every Docker host Dockhand
manages (one credential covers all of them), with
start/stop/restart actions, a host filter, image-update status per
container (from Dockhand's own cached update check, plus a button
to trigger a fresh one), and a live running/total widget (with an
updates-available count).
The Integrations page itself is now just a list of configured
integrations (name/type/status, visible to every role) with an
admin-only "Add integration" button and edit/enable/disable/delete
actions per row — the six dedicated pages above are where you
actually use each one.
- Every table in the app is click-to-sort on any column (numbers, booleans,
and dates/text sort correctly regardless of how the column formats them)
and has an "Export CSV" button next to it that exports whatever's
currently sorted/filtered. Tables that can realistically grow large
(DNS zones/records, IP Addresses, Secrets, Servers, Audit Log, and each
integration's device/container/guest/repo/template list) are paginated,
20 rows per page by default — adjustable under Settings → Display — and
CSV export still covers every sorted/filtered row, not just the current
page.
- **Settings** (admin-only) — notification channels (Gotify, ntfy, SMTP,
generic webhook) with per-channel test buttons, per-event toggles (DNS
record added/updated/deleted, daily secret-expiry reminder and daily
Tailscale key-expiry reminder — both sharing one configurable
time/timezone), badge-color customization for both DNS
providers and integration types, and a **Display** tab (date order,
12/24-hour clock, and rows-per-page for every paginated table) applied
consistently across the app.
All six integrations follow the same config-in-UI + encrypted-credentials
pattern, added (and edited — e.g. to rotate an expired API token without
recreating the whole integration) through **Integrations → Manage
integrations**. See [INTEGRATIONS.md](INTEGRATIONS.md) for exactly what
credential to create and what access it needs in each target system,
for every integration and DNS provider.
**Verified for real, end to end**: every module above — including all six
integrations, both their read-only views and their write actions
(start/stop/restart, trigger-a-run, authorize/deauthorize) — has been
exercised against the user's actual live homelab, not just built against
specs. That pass also found and fixed two real bugs: the Synology adapter
assumed HTTPS-only (the NAS is reached over plain HTTP), and the Tailscale
adapter read `online`/`isExitNode` fields that don't actually exist in the
real API response (fixed to derive them from `connectedToControl` and
`enabledRoutes`). See the git log for the full verification notes per
integration.
Server and storage health is watched every 15 minutes: a server whose agent
stops reporting, a server disk / Proxmox storage / Synology volume passing a
usage threshold, and a Synology volume or disk that's degraded or failing each
raise one notification when the problem starts and one when it clears (both
thresholds are set under Settings → Notifications). Active problems are
remembered across restarts, so a rebuild doesn't re-alert them.
**Maintenance mode** silences alerts about one server, integration, or DNS
provider while you work on it (server offline / disk, storage and Synology
health, Proxmox backup alerts, and "integration down" for that service type).
Every window has a fixed end (5 minutes to 7 days) and expires on its own, and
a problem that began during a window and is still present when it ends alerts
then — a forgotten window can't hide an outage. A banner shows what's currently
silenced to every signed-in user.
The app is installable as a PWA — "Install app" / "Add to Home Screen" from the
browser gives it its own icon and a standalone window on phone or desktop. This
needs the site to be served over HTTPS (browsers only offer install on secure
origins; `localhost` also counts). The bundled service worker deliberately
caches nothing, so an installed copy always shows the current build.
## Requirements
- Node.js 20+
- An Authentik instance reachable from wherever this app runs
## 1. Set up an Authentik application
1. Create an **OAuth2/OpenID Provider**:
- Redirect URI: `<APP_BASE_URL>/auth/callback`
- Scopes: `openid`, `email`, `profile`
2. Create an **Application** using that provider, and assign the users/groups
who should be able to sign in — Authentik controls who can authenticate;
the app's own admin/operator/viewer roles control what they can do once in.
3. Copy the provider's issuer URL, client ID, and client secret into `.env`.
## 2. Local development
```bash
cp .env.example .env # fill in AUTHENTIK_*, SESSION_SECRET, CREDENTIALS_ENCRYPTION_KEY
npm install
npm run dev:server # http://localhost:3000 (API)
npm run dev:web # http://localhost:5173 (Vite dev server, proxies /api and /auth to :3000)
```
Visit `http://localhost:5173` during development. Database migrations run
automatically on server start. SQLite data lands in `./data` (gitignored).
Generate `SESSION_SECRET` and `CREDENTIALS_ENCRYPTION_KEY` with:
```bash
node -e "console.log(require('crypto').randomBytes(32).toString('hex'))"
```
## 3. Run with Docker
```bash
cp .env.example .env
# edit .env
docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d --build # build locally
# or, once an image is published to your registry:
docker compose up -d
```
The app listens on `HOST_PORT` (default `3000`); SQLite data persists in
`./data` on the host.
