The deployment is a public hostname behind Traefik rather than a LAN-only
box, which changes two things.
TLS is now terminated by the proxy, so Basic credentials are no longer in
cleartext. The container publishes no ports: doing so would leave an
unencrypted copy of the app on the host, bypassing the proxy. The hostname
lives in .env rather than compose.yaml, so no infrastructure detail is
committed and the MIT publication option stays open.
The password is now the only thing between the internet and the app, and a
500 ms sleep is not a defence at that exposure. Wrong guesses are rate
limited per client address: five in a burst, then one per ten seconds,
answered with 429.
Two details that decide whether this works at all:
- a request with no Authorization header is not charged. That is the
handshake every browser session opens with, and counting it would lock the
household out for simply opening the app a few times.
- X-Forwarded-For is believed only when the connection arrived from a private
address, i.e. through the proxy, and then only its last entry, which is the
one the proxy observed. A direct client could otherwise forge a fresh
address per attempt and walk past the limiter entirely.
None of this substitutes for a strong password. It removes brute force as a
practical route, nothing more. PRD §3, §9 and §10 are updated: "no external
internet exposure" is no longer true.
main carries released versions only, so its history is the deployment
history and every release tag points into it. Development happens on dev
and merges into main when a release is cut.
Three pieces of chrome that were missing or misleading.
A header with the bowl mark and the app name, on every page. The page title
bar below it is no longer sticky: on a phone a tall sticky header eats the
screen, and the bottom tab bar already handles navigation.
A theme toggle, remembered per device in localStorage, because a shared
instance with no accounts should let the kitchen phone and the laptop
disagree. Dark by default, and the default lives in the server-rendered
markup so it survives with JavaScript off and never flashes. The button shows
the theme that is on — moon while dark, sun while light — rather than the one
a click would bring, and its label names the state before the action. Both
icons ship on every page and CSS picks one, so the server never needs to know
what this device chose. Following the system was considered and dropped: a
third state costs a control harder to read than the choice is worth.
The checkbox chips no longer hide the native control behind opacity: 0. With
only a background colour to go on there was no way to tell "Tarjoillaan
lisukkeiden kanssa" on from off. Colour is not a state indicator; a checkbox
is. This covers the side, category and has_sides chips alike.
Smoke checks cover the parts that would regress silently: that dark is the
no-JS default, and that both theme icons are present for CSS to choose from.
Stage 1's point is collecting eating history, so the logging path is the one
that has to be frictionless: pick a dish, tick sides, done.
Kirjaa:
- dishes ordered and sized by how often they have been eaten, so the likely
answer is the biggest target on the screen
- picking a dish opens the sides step; a dish with has_sides false says so
instead of offering an empty list
- saving redirects, so a refresh cannot double-post
- a day already logged shows the entry with edit and delete. Editing reopens
the sides step with the existing sides ticked, which makes editing and
creating the same screen
- day switcher and a server-side search over the catalog
Historia walks back day by day to the oldest entry, so a day nobody wrote
down appears as an explicit gap rather than quietly missing.
No JavaScript is involved: every interaction is a link or a form, and the
checked-chip styling is :has(input:checked). Datastar stays loaded but unused
until an interaction genuinely needs to avoid a page load.
Also fix a Makefile ordering bug: lint did not depend on generate, so `go vet`
could run against templ output that was being rewritten. check now runs its
phases as sub-makes so `make -j` cannot interleave them.
Records two features that are specified but not built: dish CRUD in the UI
(§7.3, only import exists today) and a per-device light/dark switch (§7.4).
The switch must show the state that is active, not the one clicking produces.
SQLite writes three files — the database plus its -wal and -shm companions.
Putting them in one directory means a deployment mounts a single path and a
backup copies a single directory.
- FOODSTER_DB defaults to ./data/foodster.db, and openDB creates the parent
directory on startup rather than failing on a fresh checkout
- compose bind-mounts ./data instead of using a named volume, so the file can
be listed, copied and opened with any sqlite client without going through
the container engine
- the image runs as UID 65534, which cannot write to a host directory owned
by someone else, so compose now sets user: from FOODSTER_UID/FOODSTER_GID
- `make up` creates ./data first: left to the engine it appears root-owned
and the app silently cannot write to it
Bring up the stage 1 skeleton described in the PRD, enough that the app
builds, serves, and can be populated with dishes.
- net/http server with shared-password Basic auth, /healthz outside it,
graceful shutdown, and TZ-aware calendar days
- SQLite via modernc (pure Go, static binary), opened with WAL and a single
connection
- migration runner: numbered SQL files embedded and applied once each inside
a transaction, recorded in schema_migrations
- bundle import (PRD §7.3) as a live feature on the Ruoat tab: paste JSON or
upload a file, get a per-row Finnish report. The same importer is reachable
as `foodster -import` for repopulating a scratch database
- templ views and hand-written CSS with light-dark() theming; the Datastar
v1.0.3 client is vendored, since the Go SDK ships no browser asset and a
CDN would break an offline LAN
Names are normalized to sentence case rather than title case: Finnish
capitalizes only the first word of a phrase, so "Keitetyt perunat" is right
and "Keitetyt Perunat" is not. PRD §6 and §7.3 are amended to match.
Testing is behind make targets rather than ad-hoc commands: `make check` runs
lint, unit tests and scripts/smoke.sh, which exercises auth, static assets
and every import path against a scratch database on a spare port.
Foodster is a self-hosted dinner log and meal suggester for one household.
Stage 1 (eating history) is in development; stage 2 (the suggester) follows
once there is enough history to weight against.
Replace the PRD's original stack (Nuxt, Postgres, Drizzle, Pico CSS) with
Go 1.27, net/http, templ, Datastar and SQLite — one static binary, no
Node.js in the build. Sections 3, 4, 5, 9, 10 and 11 are rewritten to match.
Record the decisions made while reviewing mockups:
- the UI is written in Finnish; PRD, code and comments stay English
- access is one shared password over HTTP Basic rather than open on the LAN
- images are CalVer vYYYYMMDD-N, built with Podman, run under Docker Compose
- registry coordinates live in .env, so no infrastructure detail is
committed and the MIT publication option stays open
mockups/ holds standalone HTML design studies. log-fi.html is the current
one; the others are superseded exploration kept for reference.
