Update README and add HANDOFF.md for session handoff
Documents the real backend, all 8 completed integration adapters, known
caveats (Proxmox TLS, fast-jwt vuln, SSH key textarea UX, the
IntegrationType/integrationTypes enum duplication footgun), and what's
explicitly on hold (Terminal/Termix), so another AI session can resume
work with full context.

# ArchNest
A self-hosted ops dashboard — infrastructure monitoring, a bookmark hub for your homelab/cloud links, an embedded terminal, and system settings, all in one place. Real backend, real integrations, no mock data.
Frontend: React 19 + TypeScript + Vite, styled with Tailwind CSS v4, charts via Recharts, icons via Lucide React.
Backend: Fastify + TypeScript + SQLite (`better-sqlite3`), JWT auth, AES-256-GCM encrypted integration secrets.
**For a full handoff/status writeup (what's done, what's not, how to resume), see [`HANDOFF.md`](./HANDOFF.md).**
## Pages
| Page | Route | Status |
|------|-------|--------|
| Glance | `/` | Done — real backend data (system status, resource overview, alerts, network traffic) |
| Infrastructure | `/infrastructure` | Done — resource distribution, node status grid, cost/trend breakdown, all from real integration data. "Network" sub-tab planned as a future addition. |
| BookNest | `/booknest` | Done — categorized bookmark hub wired to the real bookmarks API |
| Terminal | `/terminal` | **Pending / on hold** — will be based on a fork of the (archived) Termix project; user has the fork and intends to hand this off to another AI session to integrate. Do not start this without explicit instruction. |
| Settings | `/settings` | Done — Profile (real user identity + avatar, editable via API), Appearance, Integrations (8 real adapters), Notifications, Data & Backup, About |
See `archnest-blueprint.md` for the original per-page design spec and `design-decisions.md` for the visual/UX conventions and lessons learned while building each page — read that file before making layout changes, it documents *why* things are built the way they are (hero banner layering, card blend techniques, icon library gotchas, etc.).
## Development
Frontend:
```bash
npm install
npm run dev
```
Backend:
```bash
cd backend
npm install
ARCHNEST_SECRET_KEY=$(openssl rand -hex 32) ARCHNEST_JWT_SECRET=$(openssl rand -hex 32) npm run dev
```
Both `ARCHNEST_SECRET_KEY` (encrypts integration secrets at rest) and `ARCHNEST_JWT_SECRET` (signs auth tokens) are required env vars with no defaults — the server will refuse to start without them. `ARCHNEST_DB_PATH` optionally overrides the SQLite file location (defaults to a local path under `backend/`). `PORT` overrides the listen port (default 4000-range, check `server.ts`).
Type-check both before committing:
```bash
npx tsc --noEmit # from repo root, frontend
cd backend && npx tsc --noEmit # backend
```
Vite/the browser surface some runtime errors (e.g. missing icon exports) that the type-checker won't catch, so also smoke-test pages in a browser.
## Tech Stack
**Frontend**
- React 19 + Vite + TypeScript
- React Router for routing
- Tailwind CSS v4
- Recharts (donuts, line/area charts)
- Lucide React (icons)
**Backend**
- Fastify 5 + TypeScript, `tsx` for dev, `tsc -b` for build
- `better-sqlite3` for storage
- `@fastify/jwt` for auth tokens, `bcryptjs` for password hashing
- `zod` for request validation
- AES-256-GCM (Node `crypto`) for encrypting integration secrets at rest
- Integration adapters: Proxmox, Docker, NetBird, Cloudflare, AWS, Uptime Kuma, Weather, SSH (see `backend/src/integrations/`)
**Deploy target:** Docker on `racknerd1` → NPM (Nginx Proxy Manager) proxy at `archnest.snsnetlabs.com`.
## Deployment
This project is deployed via Docker on `racknerd1`, proxied through Nginx Proxy Manager at `archnest.snsnetlabs.com`. **Not yet deployed as of this writing** — still under active development on the `claude/wonderful-faraday-qxym5t` branch.
