felhom-hub

Central operator dashboard for monitoring and managing Felhom customer deployments.

A lightweight Go service that receives periodic reports from felhom-controller instances, stores them in SQLite, and provides a web dashboard for fleet monitoring. Also serves as the infrastructure backup store for disaster recovery.

Current version: v0.2.1

API Endpoints

All API endpoints require Authorization: Bearer <api_key> (except /healthz and /api/v1/config/{id}). Auth accepts both the global report_api_key and per-customer API keys (generated when creating customer configs).

Report Ingest

Method	Path	Description
POST	/api/v1/report	Controller pushes periodic status report
GET	/api/v1/customers	List all customers with latest report summary
GET	/api/v1/customers/{id}	Get latest full report for a customer
GET	/api/v1/customers/{id}/history?period=7d	Get report history

Infrastructure Backup (Disaster Recovery)

Method	Path	Description
POST	/api/v1/infra-backup	Controller pushes infrastructure snapshot
GET	/api/v1/infra-backup/{customer_id}	Fresh controller pulls backup for restore

The infra-backup payload contains everything needed to restore a customer deployment:

• controller.yaml (base64, full config including secrets)
• settings.json (base64, backup preferences, storage paths)
• Disk layout (UUIDs, labels, mount points, fstab options, bind-mount topology)
• Deployed stacks manifest (app names, HDD paths, display names)
• Restic passwords (primary + cross-drive, for encrypted backup access)

Disaster recovery flow:

1. Customer's system drive fails → replaced with fresh Debian install
2. docker-setup.sh deploys controller with Hub details (customer_id + API key)
3. Controller detects fresh deployment → calls GET /api/v1/infra-backup/{customer_id}
4. Controller uses disk UUIDs to auto-mount surviving drives
5. Controller restores apps from local backups on those drives

Notifications

Method	Path	Description
POST	/api/v1/notify	Controller sends event notification (backup_failed, disk_warning, etc.)
POST	/api/v1/preferences	Controller syncs customer notification preferences

Notifications are sent via Resend.com email API.

Customer Config Retrieval

Method	Path	Description
GET	/api/v1/config/{customer_id}	Download generated controller.yaml (auth: X-Retrieval-Password header)

Config retrieval uses a separate per-customer retrieval password (not the API key). The Hub generates a complete controller.yaml by deep-merging controller.yaml.example (periodically fetched from the Gitea repo) with customer-specific overrides (identity, infrastructure tokens, hub API key, session secret).

Health

Method	Path	Description
GET	/healthz	Health check (no auth required)

Web Dashboard

Protected by bcrypt password + session cookie (7-day expiry).

Pages

• Dashboard (/) — Fleet overview table showing all customers with live status. Config-only customers (no reports yet) appear as "PENDING" with gray badge. Blocked customers are hidden. Auto-refreshes every 60 seconds.
• Customers (/configs) — Customer management list. Shows all customers (both managed and manual), their status, controller version, and config type (MANAGED/MANUAL). Blocked customers shown grayed-out with BLOCKED badge.
• Unified Customer Detail (/customers/{id}) — Single page per customer combining config management and live monitoring. Adapts content based on available data:
  • Managed + reporting: Full view — config info, system metrics, storage, containers, backup status, credentials, setup commands, YAML preview, controller update, notifications, history
  • Managed + no reports yet: Config info, credentials, setup commands, "Waiting for first report" indicator
  • Manual (report-only): System metrics, storage, containers, backup, with "Create Config" button to convert to managed
• Config Form (/configs/new, /configs/{id}/edit) — Create/edit customer configurations with identity, infrastructure tokens, and monitoring overrides

Customer States

State	Dashboard	Customers List	Detail Page
Active + reporting	Shown with live status	MANAGED + status badge	Full unified view
Active + no reports	Shown as PENDING (gray)	MANAGED + no status	Config + "waiting for report"
Manual (report-only)	Shown with live status	MANUAL + status badge	Reports + "Create Config" button
Blocked	Hidden	Shown grayed-out, BLOCKED badge	Blocked banner + Unblock button

Customer Actions

Action	Description
Block/Unblock	Toggle blocked status — blocked customers are hidden from dashboard and notifications are suppressed, but reports are still accepted and stored
Push Config	Generate YAML from Hub config and POST it to the controller's /api/config/apply endpoint (requires controller URL from reports)
Create Config	Auto-create a managed config from a manual customer's report data, then redirect to edit form
Trigger Update	Instruct controller to self-update to the latest version
Delete	Remove customer config (customer reappears as manual if reports continue)

Status Logic

• OK (green): report < 30 min old, health = ok
• WARN (yellow): 30-60 min stale or health = warn
• DOWN (red): > 60 min stale or health = fail
• DISABLED (gray): controller monitoring paused
• PENDING (gray): config exists but no reports received yet
• BLOCKED (gray): customer blocked by operator

Data Storage

SQLite with WAL mode. Tables:

Table	Purpose
reports	Full JSON reports with denormalized fields for dashboard queries
infra_backups	Per-customer infrastructure snapshots for disaster recovery
customer_notifications	Email + enabled event types per customer
notification_log	Send/skip/fail history for notifications
customer_configs	Pre-configured customer settings, retrieval passwords, per-customer API keys, status (active/blocked)

Retention: configurable (default 90 days), daily prune at 04:30 Budapest time.

Configuration

# hub.yaml
auth:
  password_hash: ""           # bcrypt hash for dashboard login (empty = no auth)

notifications:
  resend_api_key: ""          # Resend.com API key for email
  from_email: "monitoring@felhom.eu"

retention:
  max_days: 90
  prune_schedule: "04:30"

alerting:
  stale_threshold: "30m"      # Customer considered stale after this duration

registry:
  image: "gitea.dooplex.hu/admin/felhom-controller"
  username: ""                # Gitea registry credentials
  token: ""
  check_interval: "30m"      # How often to check for new controller versions

Deployment

Runs on k3s (Kubernetes) in the felhom-system namespace:

• PVC: 1GB Longhorn volume for SQLite database
• Resources: 64Mi-256Mi memory, 50m-500m CPU
• Ingress: hub.felhom.eu with TLS (cert-manager)
• Geo-restriction: Hungary only (nginx annotation)
