Kiosks running our pre-built image (managed_image=true at pairing) can
have their hostname, timezone, network (DHCP/static + VLAN), and Wi-Fi
configured from the admin UI. Pull-model: server stores desired-state
JSON, kiosk heartbeat returns pending_config when version exceeds
applied_version, kiosk echoes applied_version back. Wi-Fi PSK encrypted
with the cluster key so ciphertext at rest is shipped to the kiosk
without per-kiosk re-encryption.
Server side only — kiosk Rust applier (betterframe-apply-config helper
+ rollback timer) and pair-initiate marker file are next.
ci(pi-gen): use action's image-path output for asset upload
pi-gen writes the .img.xz into pi-gen-action's own working dir, not our
repo deploy/. Glob never matched. Use steps.pigen.outputs.image-path
directly — no glob needed.
Adds aggressive normalisation to tryParsePrivateKey:
- Strip UTF-8 BOM
- Replace smart quotes (" " ' ') with ASCII
- Strip multiple layers of wrapping quotes
- Combine escape-unfold with quote-strip (env vars that quote AND escape)
- Strip whitespace inside base64 candidate before decode
On parse failure, dumps length + head/tail samples + first-byte hex so
the operator can spot exactly what shape the env var arrived in.
Coolify / docker compose env injection routinely strips real newlines or
wraps in quotes, causing createPrivateKey to throw ERR_OSSL_UNSUPPORTED
and crashing the server before it can even start.
tryParsePrivateKey now attempts: literal, \n→LF, CRLF→LF, quote-stripped,
base64-decoded, and single-line PEM re-wrapped to 64-col. On total
failure, logs a clear warning and falls back to on-disk / generated key
instead of crashing.
Kiosk now exposes :18090 with two surfaces:
- GET /local/layout/:id?key=<kiosk_local_key>
Bookmark-friendly layout switch on this kiosk. Auth = kiosk-generated
local key (32 random bytes, hex, stored at <state_dir>/local.key).
- ANY /proxy/* — forwards to BF server with the request's Authorization
header preserved. Lets LAN clients reach a cloud-hosted BF server via
the kiosk's local socket; kiosk adds no auth of its own.
Heartbeat reports {local_key, local_port}; kiosks table grows
local_key/local_port/local_last_ip columns. Admin kiosk edit page now
shows the local URLs as a copy-paste block.
Override port: BF_KIOSK_LOCAL_PORT. Disable: BF_KIOSK_LOCAL_DISABLE=1.
Three related fixes:
1. Idle reverts (and any other kiosk-initiated layout switch) now POST
layout.changed to /api/kiosk/event. Previously the server only emitted
on admin-initiated switches, so Node-RED never saw the idle revert.
2. Server's /api/kiosk/event splays the payload to the top level when
the topic has a dedicated trigger node (layout.changed, kiosk.changed,
kiosk.status, display.power.changed, camera.changed). The trigger
nodes expect flat shapes matching the admin emit; the old wrapped
shape left every field undefined.
3. Auto-provisioning of bf-server-config in Node-RED: extend retry
window to ~5 min, log per attempt, force v2 API + full-deploy header
so credentials inline get accepted, surface response body on failure.
Server mints a dedicated admin API key on first boot (persisted plaintext
encrypted in setup_state.extras) and POSTs a bf-server-config node into
Node-RED's flow graph via /nrdp/flows. Idempotent — skips if any
bf-server-config already exists, so user-owned configs win.
New admin-http config 'selfUrl' (defaults to http://127.0.0.1:18080)
tells Node-RED how to reach the BF server. Docker compose sets it to
http://server:18080 so requests stay inside the compose network.
is_enabled column on displays (default 1). Disabled displays are filtered
from the kiosk bundle so the kiosk never opens a window on them. Admin
edit page exposes a checkbox; list page shows a "disabled" badge.
Trigger nodes now self-contained inputs (inputs:0):
- Each registers POST /api/internal/<topic> on RED.httpNode
- Angie returns 404 for any /api/* not whitelisted (kiosk/pair/admin)
so external requests cannot trigger BF nodes
- Server bridge POSTs direct to nodered container (bypasses Angie)
- nodered-bridge.ts updated to use /api/internal/<topic>
- 6 trigger nodes converted: display-power, layout-changed,
kiosk-changed, camera-changed, status, kiosk-camera-event
- Optional per-node filters (display_id, kiosk_id, camera_id)
- close handler removes only this node's route layer
Multi-display:
- Bundle ships displays[] each with own layouts + idle/sleep
- Rust kiosk creates one ApplicationWindow per gdk monitor
- Per-display state (layout, idle, sleep) via HashMap
- WARM_CAMERAS pool shared across displays
- Backward-compat top-level display/layouts still emitted
System Health (/admin/health):
- Online status, CPU temp (color-coded), fan RPM/PWM
- Bundle version mismatch detection
- 30s auto-refresh
Camera snapshot/test:
- shared/snapshot.ts: ffmpeg/gst-launch fallback, 5s timeout
- /admin/entities/:id/snapshot returns JPEG
- EntityEditPage shows live preview with Refresh
GPIO (Pi buttons/sensors):
- kiosk_gpio_bindings table + CRUD admin UI
- Bundle ships gpio_bindings[]
- kiosk/src/gpio.rs with gpiod crate, worker thread per pin
- Edge events POST to /api/kiosk/event with source_type=gpio
Layout switch fixes:
- GET aliases added so direct URL hits work
- New /admin/displays/:displayId/layout/:layoutId for multi-display
- DisplayEditPage gets "Switch Layout Now" section
Node-RED embed:
- /admin/nodered renders iframe at /nrdp/
- Sandbox attrs allow scripts/forms/popups
- Sidebar link now opens embedded view
Entities:
- New entities table — id, name, type (camera|html|web), camera_id,
html_content, web_url
- Auto-create entity per camera on createCamera
- Layout cells reference entity_id (replaces inline content_type/
camera_id/html_content/web_url)
- Bundle resolves entities back to legacy cell fields for kiosk compat
(Rust kiosk unchanged)
- Full CRUD: /admin/entities, /admin/entities/new, /admin/entities/:id
- Cell editor: single entity dropdown with type badges
ONVIF discovery:
- /admin/cameras/discover — host/port/user/pass form
- Server queries ONVIF device, lists profiles with name/resolution/
encoding/framerate
- "Add" creates camera + main stream from chosen profile
- shared/onvif.ts: minimal SOAP+UsernameToken+PasswordDigest client
(no external dep)
- Camera new form simplified to RTSP-only with discover link
- shared/nodered-bridge.ts: fire-and-forget POST to Node-RED HTTP-in
- api-http: kiosk event endpoint now forwards to Node-RED at /in/<topic>
- Best-effort, never blocks. 3s timeout, warn on failure.
- sec-config: noderedUrl on api-http (defaults to http://127.0.0.1:1880)
Node-RED flows can attach http-in nodes at /in/<topic> to receive
camera motion, GPIO events, etc. Inbound commands (Node-RED → server)
go through the admin API with admin Bearer token (no new endpoints
needed for v0.1).
Server side:
- service-coordinator-ws: full WS implementation using ws package
- Auth via ?token=<kiosk_key> query param
- Coordinator registry for cross-plugin notification
- Admin mutations call notifyKiosks() → server pushes reload-bundle
- 30s ping/pong heartbeat
Kiosk side:
- Rust ws_client with tokio runtime + tokio-tungstenite
- Auto-reconnect with exponential backoff (1s → 60s cap)
- On reload-bundle: re-fetches bundle, re-renders layout
- Pong replies to server pings
Also fix: auto-suffix kiosk name on UNIQUE collision (re-pair with
same hostname no longer fails).
- Cells own position directly (row/col/row_span/col_span)
- Drop regions JSON from layouts (cells ARE the regions)
- Drop is_default from layouts (display.default_layout_id owns)
- Drop grid_cols/grid_rows from layouts (computed from cells)
- Layout new form: name, description, priority, resets_idle_timer only
- Layout edit: visual grid builder, + buttons on cell edges,
click cell to assign content
- Bundle cells now carry position directly
- Rust kiosk attaches widgets using cell position
- Migration v0.4: backfills cell positions from old region map
- Eliminated layout_templates as separate entity — regions/grid now
live directly on layouts
- Displays created from kiosk pairing (not standalone), each display
has kiosk_id FK
- Removed Templates from sidebar nav and all template routes/pages
- Layout creation uses preset buttons (fullscreen, 2x2, 1+3, 3x3)
that set regions directly on the layout
- Setup no longer creates default display/layout (deferred to pairing)
- Pairing creates HDMI-0 display for new kiosk
- Bundle reads regions from layout directly, no template lookup
- Rust kiosk updated to match new bundle format
- DB migration adds regions/grid_cols/grid_rows to layouts, kiosk_id
to displays, copies existing template data
cookieMac was using encryptString which generates a random IV per
call, making the HMAC key non-deterministic. Cookie signed at login
could never verify on subsequent requests. Now uses deriveKey(info)
which uses HKDF — deterministic for same server key.
BSB plugins should be actual services (own port, lifecycle, resource
ownership). Moved secrets, auth, pairing, bundle, nodered-bridge, and
cec-relay from plugin folders to shared modules under server/src/shared/.
4 BSB plugins remain: service-store, service-admin-http,
service-api-http, service-coordinator-ws.
service-admin-http now initializes secrets + auth as plain modules in
init() using the store repo from the plugin-registry singleton. No
more setSiblings() hack or inter-plugin wiring.
sec-config.yaml updated: secrets/auth config moved into
service-admin-http, pairing config into service-api-http, nodered
config into service-coordinator-ws.
