Phase A - Stability:
- Engine.Start(): recovers orphaned jobs (running/queued/waking_up) after crash
- Engine.Stop(): graceful shutdown - cancels all in-flight jobs and waits
- Queue keyed by jobID (not syncPairID): cancel now targets exact job
- Local rsync uses jobCtx (context.Background() replaced)
- Migrations wrapped in transactions; checksums stored
Phase B - Security:
- admin/admin default removed: SYNCSERVER_ADMIN_PASSWORD required on first run
- Path validation: rejects .., leading -, null bytes in sync pair paths
- Rsync flags allowlist: dangerous flags blocked (--rsync-path, -e, --files-from)
- Shell concat in RunRemote replaced with proper sh -c escaping
- knownhosts: replaced custom parser with golang.org/x/crypto/ssh/knownhosts
- RequireAdmin wired: machine CRUD, SSH key ops, settings require admin role
- deploy-keys: uses authorized_keys only (no private key upload)
- Hardcoded /var/lib/syncserver/ssh paths replaced with cfg.SSHDir()
Phase C - Operational:
- /readyz health check: DB query + SSH dir accessibility
- /metrics endpoint: Prometheus text format (jobs, queue, machines)
- Event struct JSON tags: job_id, machine_id, type (snake_case)
- EventBus broadcast: fanned out to all subscribers
- SQLite VACUUM INTO backup: scheduled before cleanup if BackupDir set
- Filesystem job log cleanup: removes .log files for purged jobs
- Backup retention: old backups auto-purged
Phase D - Frontend:
- Schedules page: REST API + full CRUD UI for cron schedules
- Dashboard: cancel button for running/queued jobs
- JobDetail: server-side log download via API
- Settings: displays data_dir from server
- 404 page: proper NotFound component
Phase E - Tests:
- auth_test.go: JWT, bcrypt, middleware, seed (18 tests)
- models_test.go: Job, Machine, SyncPair, Schedule repos (18 tests)
- go test -race: no data races found
Backend:
- New migration: add shutdown_command TEXT column to machines table
- Machine model updated with ShutdownCommand field (Create/GetAll/GetByID/Update)
- MachineRequest/MachineResponse DTOs updated with shutdown_command field
- New ShutdownResponse DTO
- New POST /api/machines/{id}/shutdown handler via SSH
- Refactor sshmanager/testconn.go: extract dialSSH() helper shared with shutdown.go
- New sshmanager/shutdown.go: RunRemoteCommand with 15s timeout
Frontend:
- New shutdownMachine() API helper and ShutdownResponse type in client.ts
- New shutdown_command field in MachineForm
- Power button (amber) in machines table actions
- Shutdown confirmation modal with WoL warning notice
- shutdown_command input field in machine edit/create form
- Machine interface updated with shutdown_command and last_seen_at fields
- internal/db/db.go: Use _pragma syntax so modernc.org/sqlite actually
applies busy_timeout(5000) and journal_mode(WAL). Eliminates SQLITE_BUSY
500s when concurrent reads hit a writer holding the DELETE-mode lock.
- internal/api/handlers_*.go: Add slog.Error before every writeError with
StatusInternalServerError so real errors appear in logs (30+ sites across
handlers_jobs, handlers_machines, handlers_syncpairs, handlers_sshkeys).
Full-stack Go monolith with embedded React frontend for orchestrating
rsync-over-SSH file synchronization with Wake-on-LAN support.
Features:
- JWT auth (HS256) with bcrypt password hashing
- CRUD for machines (with WoL config) and sync_pairs
- Ed25519 SSH key generation and known_hosts management
- WoL magic packet sender + TCP-connect waiter with backoff
- Sync engine: rsync subprocess, per-pair job queue, progress parsing
- Homebrew cron parser for scheduled syncs
- SSE stream for live job status (queued/waking_up/running/success/failed)
- React+TS+Vite+Tailwind SPA embedded via embed.FS
- Debian packaging with systemd unit, postinst/prerm/postrm
Tech stack:
- Go 1.22+ (CGO_ENABLED=0, pure SQLite via modernc.org/sqlite)
- chi router for HTTP API
- TypeScript + React 18 + Tailwind CSS frontend
- Cross-compiled to Linux amd64 for Proxmox LXC deployment
Tests: wol (MAC parsing, magic packet), syncengine/queue, scheduler/cron
