bobbanandClaude Sonnet 5 e35da87886 Add a Diagnostic Log, ported and generalized from Sloth Manager
Sloth Manager tracked every API call made to DNS providers for
connectivity troubleshooting. Port that here, generalized to cover
every outbound integration this app makes, not just DNS -- Tailscale,
Proxmox, Synology, Semaphore, Gitea, and Dockhand calls now show up
too, since a broken API token or unreachable host on any of them is
just as worth diagnosing.

New services/diagLog.ts: a generic withDiagLogging(source, adapter)
wraps every async method of any adapter object with timing +
success/failure recording, without touching a single adapter's
request/error-handling internals -- every DNS and integration adapter
interface here is already just a flat set of async methods, so this
one wrapper works for all twelve of them. Applied it at each adapter
factory's own return statement (one line each) rather than at the
route layer, so background jobs that construct adapters directly
(the Tailscale key-expiry scheduler, IPAM sync, agent-driven Proxmox
lookups) get logged too, not just requests through routes/integrations.ts.

New diag_log table (ring-buffered to the last 500 rows, mirroring
Sloth Manager's approach -- this is for live troubleshooting, not a
durable record) and admin-only GET/DELETE /api/diag-log routes, source/
result filters, pagination.

New admin-only Diagnostic Log page: filterable, paginated table with a
Clear button. Also introduces the shared useSortable hook + SortableTh
component used here for the first time -- a follow-up commit applies
the same sorting (and CSV export) to the rest of the app's tables, per
the same request.

Verified end-to-end against a temp SQLite DB with real migrations: a
fake wrapped adapter's successful and failing calls both land correctly
in the log with the right source/operation/latency/error, and the
source/ok filters and clear-log operation all behave correctly.

# 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
- **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
- **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.
Proxmox-linked servers also get start/stop/restart buttons right on the
detail page.
- **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, and a live
running/total widget.
Add/edit/enable/disable/remove each integration's credential itself
under Integrations → Manage integrations.
- **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 date/time display format
(date order, 12/24-hour clock) applied consistently to every table in
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**.
**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.
## 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.
