# Catalyst

A self-hosted infrastructure registry for homelab Proxmox environments. Track virtual machines across stacks, monitor service health, and maintain a full audit log of every configuration change.

---

## Features

- **Dashboard** — filterable, searchable instance list with state and stack badges
- **Detail pages** — per-instance view with service flags, Tailscale IP, and a full change timeline
- **Audit log** — every field change is recorded with before/after values and a timestamp
- **Full CRUD** — add, edit, and delete instances via a clean modal interface
- **Production safeguard** — only development instances can be deleted; production instances must be demoted first
- **Export / import** — JSON backup and restore via the settings modal
- **REST API** — every operation is a plain HTTP call
- **Persistent storage** — SQLite on a Docker named volume; survives restarts and upgrades
- **Zero native dependencies** — SQLite via Node's built-in `node:sqlite`; no compilation, no binaries

---

## Quick start

```bash
docker compose up -d
```

Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000).

### Environment variables

| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `PORT` | `3000` | HTTP port the server binds to |
| `DB_PATH` | `data/catalyst.db` | Path to the SQLite database file |

---

## REST API

All endpoints are under `/api`. Request and response bodies are JSON.

### Instances

#### `GET /api/instances`

Returns all instances sorted by name. All query parameters are optional.

| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `search` | string | Partial match on `name`, `vmid`, or `stack` |
| `state` | string | Exact match: `deployed`, `testing`, `degraded` |
| `stack` | string | Exact match: `production`, `development` |

```
GET /api/instances?search=plex&state=deployed
```

```json
[
  {
    "vmid": 117,
    "name": "plex",
    "state": "deployed",
    "stack": "production",
    "tailscale_ip": "100.64.0.1",
    "atlas": 1, "argus": 1, "semaphore": 0,
    "patchmon": 1, "tailscale": 1, "andromeda": 0,
    "hardware_acceleration": 1,
    "created_at": "2024-01-15T10:30:00",
    "updated_at": "2024-03-10T14:22:00"
  }
]
```

---

#### `GET /api/instances/stacks`

Returns a sorted array of distinct stack names present in the registry.

```
GET /api/instances/stacks
→ ["development", "production"]
```

---

#### `GET /api/instances/:vmid`

Returns a single instance by VMID.

| Status | Condition |
|---|---|
| `200` | Instance found |
| `400` | VMID is not a valid integer |
| `404` | No instance with that VMID |

---

#### `GET /api/instances/:vmid/history`

Returns the audit log for an instance — newest events first.

| Status | Condition |
|---|---|
| `200` | History returned (may be empty array) |
| `400` | VMID is not a valid integer |
| `404` | No instance with that VMID |

```json
[
  {
    "id": 3,
    "vmid": 117,
    "field": "state",
    "old_value": "testing",
    "new_value": "deployed",
    "changed_at": "2024-03-10T14:22:00"
  },
  {
    "id": 1,
    "vmid": 117,
    "field": "created",
    "old_value": null,
    "new_value": null,
    "changed_at": "2024-01-15T10:30:00"
  }
]
```

---

#### `POST /api/instances`

Creates a new instance. Returns the created record.

| Status | Condition |
|---|---|
| `201` | Created successfully |
| `400` | Validation error — see `errors` array in response |
| `409` | VMID already exists |

**Request body:**

| Field | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| `name` | string | yes | |
| `vmid` | integer | yes | Must be > 0 and unique |
| `state` | string | yes | `deployed`, `testing`, or `degraded` |
| `stack` | string | yes | `production` or `development` |
| `tailscale_ip` | string | no | Valid IPv4 or empty string |
| `atlas` | 0\|1 | no | |
| `argus` | 0\|1 | no | |
| `semaphore` | 0\|1 | no | |
| `patchmon` | 0\|1 | no | |
| `tailscale` | 0\|1 | no | |
| `andromeda` | 0\|1 | no | |
| `hardware_acceleration` | 0\|1 | no | |

---

#### `PUT /api/instances/:vmid`

Replaces all fields on an existing instance. Accepts the same body shape as `POST`. The `vmid` in the body may differ from the URL — this is how you change a VMID.

| Status | Condition |
|---|---|
| `200` | Updated successfully |
| `400` | Validation error |
| `404` | No instance with that VMID |
| `409` | New VMID conflicts with an existing instance |

---

#### `DELETE /api/instances/:vmid`

Deletes an instance. Only instances on the `development` stack may be deleted.

| Status | Condition |
|---|---|
| `204` | Deleted successfully |
| `400` | VMID is not a valid integer |
| `404` | No instance with that VMID |
| `422` | Instance is on the `production` stack |

---

### Backup

#### `GET /api/export`

Downloads a JSON backup of all instances as a file attachment.

```json
{
  "version": 1,
  "exported_at": "2024-03-10T14:22:00.000Z",
  "instances": [ ... ]
}
```

#### `POST /api/import`

Replaces all instances from a JSON backup. Validates every row before committing — if any row is invalid the entire import is rejected.

| Status | Condition |
|---|---|
| `200` | Import successful — returns `{ "imported": N }` |
| `400` | Body missing `instances` array, or validation errors |

---

## Development

```bash
npm install
npm test            # run all tests once
npm run test:watch  # watch mode
npm start           # start the server on :3000
```

Tests are split across three files:

| File | What it covers |
|---|---|
| `tests/db.test.js` | SQLite data layer — CRUD, constraints, filters, history logging |
| `tests/api.test.js` | HTTP API — all endpoints, status codes, error cases |
| `tests/helpers.test.js` | UI helpers — `esc()` XSS contract, date formatting, history formatters |

---

## Versioning

Catalyst uses [semantic versioning](https://semver.org). `package.json` is the single source of truth.

| Change | Bump |
|---|---|
| Bug fix | patch |
| New feature, backward compatible | minor |
| Breaking change | major |

Pushing a tag triggers the CI pipeline: **test → build → release**.
Docker images are tagged `:x.y.z`, `:x.y`, and `:latest`.
