# Catalyst A self-hosted infrastructure registry. Track every VM, container, and service across your homelab — their state, stack, and which internal services are running on them. --- ## Features - **Dashboard** — filterable, searchable instance list with state and stack badges - **Detail pages** — per-instance view with service flags, Tailscale IP, and timestamps - **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 - **REST API** — every operation is a plain HTTP call; no magic, no framework lock-in - **Persistent storage** — SQLite database 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 run -d \ --name catalyst \ -p 3000:3000 \ -v catalyst-data:/app/data \ gitea.thewrightserver.net/josh/catalyst:latest ``` Or with the included Compose file: ```bash docker compose up -d ``` Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000). --- ## 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` or `vmid` | | `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": 0, "semaphore": 0, "patchmon": 1, "tailscale": 1, "andromeda": 0, "hardware_acceleration": 1, "created_at": "2024-01-15T10:30:00.000Z", "updated_at": "2024-03-10T14:22:00.000Z" } ] ``` --- #### `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 | | `404` | No instance with that VMID | | `400` | VMID is not a valid integer | --- #### `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, unique | | `state` | string | yes | `deployed`, `testing`, or `degraded` | | `stack` | string | yes | `production` or `development` | | `tailscale_ip` | string | no | Defaults to `""` | | `atlas` | 0\|1 | no | Defaults to `0` | | `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 | | `404` | No instance with that VMID | | `422` | Instance is on the `production` stack | | `400` | VMID is not a valid integer | --- ## 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 — all CRUD operations, constraints, filters | | `tests/api.test.js` | HTTP API — all endpoints, status codes, error cases | | `tests/helpers.test.js` | UI helper functions — `esc()` XSS contract, `fmtDate()` | --- ## Versioning Catalyst uses [semantic versioning](https://semver.org). `package.json` is the single source of truth for the version number. | Change | Bump | Example | |--------|------|---------| | Bug fix | patch | `1.0.0` → `1.0.1` | | New feature, backward compatible | minor | `1.0.0` → `1.1.0` | | Breaking change | major | `1.0.0` → `2.0.0` | ### Cutting a release ```bash # 1. Bump version in package.json, then: git add package.json git commit -m "chore: release v1.1.0" git tag v1.1.0 git push && git push --tags ``` Pushing a tag triggers the full CI pipeline: **test → build → release**. - Docker image tagged `:1.1.0`, `:1.1`, and `:latest` in the Gitea registry - A Gitea release is created at `v1.1.0`
