# Project Box
|
|
|
|
Project Box is a Go + vanilla web app for managing user projects.
|
|
|
|
Features:
|
|
- Workspace model mapping each app-user workspace to a host Unix account
|
|
- Create projects per authenticated user
|
|
- Auto-create Forgejo repository or onboard an existing repository URL
|
|
- Auto-create Caddy reverse-proxy route via Admin API (optional)
|
|
- Manage project env vars
|
|
- Auto-generate user-scoped systemd service per project
|
|
- PostgreSQL persistence with startup migration
|
|
- Authentik forward-auth header support + dev mode demo user
|
|
- HTTP server on TCP and optional Unix socket
|
|
- Request/access logs
|
|
|
|
## Run
|
|
|
|
1. Copy config:
|
|
```bash
|
|
cp .env.example .env
|
|
```
|
|
2. Start PostgreSQL and create database `box`.
|
|
3. Start app:
|
|
```bash
|
|
go run .
|
|
```
|
|
4. Open `http://localhost:8080`.
|
|
|
|
## Environment Variables
|
|
|
|
See `.env.example`.
|
|
|
|
Important:
|
|
- `DEV_MODE=true` uses a demo user and bypasses forward-auth headers.
|
|
- `DEV_MODE=false` expects auth headers from your reverse proxy:
|
|
- `X-authentik-username`
|
|
- `X-authentik-email`
|
|
- `FORGEJO_BASE_URL` + `FORGEJO_TOKEN` enable repository creation.
|
|
- `FORGEJO_ORG` switches creation from personal repos to org repos.
|
|
- `UNIX_SOCKET_PATH` enables unix socket listener in addition to `LISTEN_ADDR`.
|
|
- `CADDY_ROUTE_ENABLED=true` enables route provisioning.
|
|
- `CADDY_ADMIN_URL` points to the Caddy Admin API (default `http://localhost:2019`).
|
|
- `CADDY_SERVER_ID` is the HTTP server object id under `apps.http.servers` (default `srv0`).
|
|
- `CADDY_DOMAIN_SUFFIX` controls generated host as `<slug>.<suffix>` (if empty: `<user>-<slug>.local`).
|
|
- `WEBHOOK_BASE_URL` sets absolute webhook URLs returned by API/UI (recommended behind reverse proxy).
|
|
|
|
## Caddy API Behavior
|
|
|
|
On project creation, when Caddy routing is enabled, the app appends a route to:
|
|
- `POST /config/apps/http/servers/<CADDY_SERVER_ID>/routes`
|
|
|
|
Route shape:
|
|
- `match.host = [<project host>]`
|
|
- `handle[0].handler = reverse_proxy`
|
|
- `handle[0].upstreams[0].dial = 127.0.0.1:<target_port>`
|
|
|
|
## Workspaces and Unix Users
|
|
|
|
- Create one or more workspaces per authenticated user.
|
|
- Each workspace stores a `unix_user` (must exist on the host).
|
|
- Project creation requires selecting a workspace.
|
|
- Service/env files are written under that Unix user's home:
|
|
- `~/.config/systemd/user/<service>.service`
|
|
- `~/.config/project-manager/<app-user>/<project>/service.env`
|
|
- The app attempts to run user-systemd commands as that Unix user via:
|
|
- `sudo -n -u <unix_user> systemctl --user ...`
|
|
|
|
## Existing Repos
|
|
|
|
- In project creation, set `repo_url` (or fill \"Existing Repo URL\" in UI) to onboard an existing repo.
|
|
- If `repo_url` is provided, Forgejo repo creation is skipped.
|
|
- If `repo_url` is empty, the app tries to create a Forgejo repo when Forgejo env vars are configured.
|
|
|
|
## Auto Deploy via Webhook
|
|
|
|
- Each project gets a unique deploy webhook URL, exposed as `webhook_url` in project API responses and shown in UI.
|
|
- For repos hosted on the configured Forgejo instance, the app now auto-provisions the repository webhook via Forgejo API.
|
|
- If auto-provisioning cannot apply (for example external non-Forgejo repo), configure a webhook manually to call `webhook_url`.
|
|
- Deploy runs only when payload `ref` equals `refs/heads/main`.
|
|
- Deploy behavior:
|
|
1. Clone repo to `<PROJECTS_ROOT>/<app-user>/<workspace>/<project>/repo` if missing.
|
|
2. Otherwise `fetch origin main` and `reset --hard origin/main`.
|
|
3. Restart the project user service via `systemctl --user restart`.
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
- `WEBHOOK_BASE_URL` should be set to an externally reachable base URL so Forgejo can call webhook endpoints.
|
|
|
|
## Runtime Status and Logs
|
|
|
|
- Per-project runtime endpoints:
|
|
- `GET /api/projects/:id/status`
|
|
- `GET /api/projects/:id/logs?lines=200`
|
|
- `POST /api/projects/:id/reprovision` (retry provisioning for failed/pending projects)
|
|
- Status is read via `systemctl --user show <service>`.
|
|
- Logs are read via `journalctl --user -u <service>`.
|
|
- Both commands are executed as the workspace Unix user via `sudo -n -u <unix_user> ...`.
|
|
- The app also auto-runs `loginctl enable-linger <unix_user>` (via sudo) to keep user systemd available without active login.
|
|
|
|
## Systemd
|
|
|
|
For each project in workspace `<ws>` owned by unix user `<unix_user>`, the app writes:
|
|
- env file: `<PROJECTS_ROOT>/<app-user>/<workspace>/<project>/.env`
|
|
- unit file: `<home-of-unix-user>/.config/systemd/user/projectmgr-<app-user>-<project>.service`
|
|
|
|
Then it attempts as that unix user:
|
|
- `systemctl --user daemon-reload`
|
|
- `systemctl --user enable --now <service>`
|
|
|
|
The generated `.env` is synced from the project env-var configuration and always includes:
|
|
- `LISTEN_NETWORK=unix`
|
|
- `LISTEN_ADDRESS=<PROJECTS_ROOT>/<app-user>/<workspace>/<project>/app.sock`
|
|
|
|
If user systemd is not available in the runtime environment, project creation still succeeds and unit files are still generated.
