Air-gap:
- DynamicRecord.refreshAll() called getPublicIp() (api.ipify.org,
icanhazip.com, ifconfig.me) every 4h on a timer regardless of
whether any dynamic records were configured -- the one background
call in the repo not actually gated by feature use. Now skips the
lookup entirely when there's nothing to refresh.
- Removed the stray, unauthenticated GET /test page (a leftover
jq-repeat demo) that loaded jQuery + Mustache from external CDNs.
- Removed a dead IE<9-only html5shim script tag pointing at a domain
that no longer resolves.
Docs:
- New GET /docs (index) and /docs/:slug routes render this project's
own README, DEPLOYMENT, api.md, and docs/*.md server-side via
marked (new dependency) -- so the documentation is readable from
the running app with no route to GitHub Pages, where it otherwise
only lives. Public, no auth, same tier as the health endpoint.
- .dockerignore/Dockerfile updated: docs/, DEPLOYMENT.md, and
nodejs/api.md were previously excluded from the image entirely
("served via GitHub Pages, not from the image") -- now copied in
alongside README.md/tos.md-style, since they're needed at runtime.
* Fix TLS handshake failure for any host without a cached target
Reported: fallback SSL doesn't work in the Docker build. Reproduced —
it's worse than the fallback specifically: TLS was broken for nearly
every connection, including ones with no SNI at all:
$ curl -vk https://127.0.0.1/
* TLSv1.3 (IN), TLS alert, internal error (592)
* OpenSSL/3.0.13: error:0A000438:SSL routines::tlsv1 alert internal error
Root cause: targetinfo.lua's M.get() is shared by two call sites in
two incompatible nginx phases —
- proxy.conf's access_by_lua_block (a normal HTTP request phase,
where ngx.exit() is valid)
- nginx.conf's request_domain callback, which runs during the TLS
handshake itself (ssl_certificate_by_lua*), where ngx.exit() is
NOT a supported API
M.get() called ngx.exit() on every lookup failure (no domain/SNI, a
Redis error, or an unregistered host). When invoked from the SSL
phase, that aborted the handshake with a bare "internal error" alert
and produced no log output anywhere — silent and total, not limited
to the unregistered-domain case, since even a connection with no SNI
hits the same code path immediately.
Fix: M.get() no longer calls ngx.exit() itself — it returns
(nil, httpStatus) on failure. proxy.conf now checks the return value
and calls ngx.exit() itself (the phase where that's actually
supported). nginx.conf's request_domain guards the now-possibly-nil
result before indexing it, and leaves ngx.ctx.toAllow unset on
failure so allow_domain() correctly denies issuance and auto-ssl
falls through to the static fallback cert in autossl.conf.
Verified end to end against a running Docker build (deployed the
changed files into a live container and reloaded, rather than relying
on a full rebuild each iteration):
- No SNI at all: TLS now completes; HTTP layer correctly returns 406
(previously: broken handshake, no response at all)
- Unregistered SNI: same — TLS completes, 406, and openssl s_client
confirms the cert served is genuinely the fallback
(CN=sni-support-required-for-valid-ssl)
- A real registered Host: TLS completes and proxies through to the
backend correctly (confirms the success path is unaffected)
- npm test: 192/192 pass
* Fix footer not sticking to the bottom on short pages
body had no sticky-footer layout at all (sso-manager-node already had
this; proxy never did), so on any page with little content (e.g.
/login) the footer sat right after the content instead of at the
bottom of the viewport, leaving a large gap below it.
Added the same flex-based pattern already used in sso-manager-node:
body is a column flex container, #spa-shell grows to fill the
remaining space, pushing the footer (the next sibling) to the bottom.
Verified visually (screenshot) and via computed layout
(footer.getBoundingClientRect().bottom === window.innerHeight) before
and after.
* Fix commit hash not showing in Docker builds
build_info.js computed buildHash via `git rev-parse --short HEAD` at
runtime, but the final image intentionally has no git binary and no
.git directory (kept lean, per .dockerignore) — so this always failed
silently and the footer's version line showed "unknown" for every
Docker deployment. Working correctly only for bare-metal/dev, where
git + .git are actually present.
Added a throwaway gitinfo build stage that reuses the main base image
(no extra pull) with git installed just for this stage, reads .git
from the build context (now no longer excluded — see .dockerignore),
and bakes the resolved short hash into a small file that IS copied
into the final image. build_info.js reads that file first, falling
back to the old git-rev-parse behavior (still needed for bare-metal).
Verified against a real build: `docker exec proxy cat
/app/.build_commit` matches `git rev-parse --short HEAD` on the host,
and the footer now shows the real hash instead of "unknown".
* Allow the local anti-lockout admin's initial password to be configured
The local "proxyadmin2" bootstrap account was always created with
username == password == "proxyadmin2" — a hardcoded, publicly-known
default with no way to set it to something else before first boot.
Fine for a quick local test, not for anything exposed publicly, and
orchestrators like theta-env's setup.sh (which already generates a
random password for the SSO admin) had no way to do the same here.
Added conf.auth.localAdminPass (proxy-secrets.js / app_auth__localAdminPass):
if set, it's used as the initial password instead of the hardcoded
default. Only read on first creation — once the account exists this
is never consulted again, so it's safe to leave set. Falls back to
the previous behavior (password == username) when unset, so this is
fully backward compatible.
Verified: with app_auth__localAdminPass set, login with the new
password succeeds and the old default ("proxyadmin2") is correctly
rejected. Confirmed in a real Docker build too (secrets.js
auth.localAdminPass), and npm test 192/192 pass.
* Support GIT_COMMIT build-arg override for submodule builds
The gitinfo stage from the previous commit works for a standalone
clone (.git is a real directory) but not when this repo is built as a
git submodule (e.g. from theta-env): a submodule's .git is a pointer
FILE, not a directory — the real object database lives in the
superproject's .git/modules/, outside this repo's own directory and
therefore outside Docker's build context entirely. `git rev-parse`
can never resolve it from in here no matter what, so builds via
theta-env still baked in "unknown" despite the earlier fix.
Add an optional GIT_COMMIT build-arg that, when set, wins over the
in-context git resolution. theta-env's setup.sh now computes it on the
host (where the submodule DOES resolve correctly) and passes it via
docker-compose.yml's build.args.
Verified via theta-env's actual setup.sh end to end: rebuilding with
this change, `docker exec proxy cat /app/.build_commit` now matches
`git -C proxy rev-parse --short HEAD` on the host (previously:
"unknown", confirmed via the "[Warning] One or more build-args
[GIT_COMMIT] were not consumed" message before this fix synced into
the docker-compose.yml side).
Prepares the docs for the public release announcement: removes obsolete/dead
material, fixes drift between the API reference and the actual routes, and
standardizes on the default GitHub Pages URL.
- Remove Vagrant entirely: delete Vagrantfile, docs/dev_setup.md, and stale
vagrant references in .gitignore/.dockerignore; rewrite openresty/README.md
to describe the actual (currently unused) directory and point to
ops/nginx_conf/ for the real OpenResty config.
- Delete docs/Update 4.11.md (personal scratch changelog) and drop both its
and dev_setup.md's references from docs/README.md's Legacy Documentation
section.
- Remove checkmark emoji from docs/contributing.md's PR Requirements list.
- Bring the auth model docs up to date with the code: document
GET /api/auth/oidc/start + /callback, the /api/permission and /api/group
RBAC routers, the /api/dns/dynamic/* sub-API, and /api/api-token (self
-service PATs) in both nodejs/api.md and docs/api.md; add the missing
"Clear Host Cache" section; drop the invite-token/SSH-key endpoints that no
longer exist in nodejs/routes/user.js; note admin-only routes. Mention
OIDC/LDAP/RBAC as core features in README.md.
- Keep nodejs/api.md and docs/api.md fully in sync (same body, differing only
in Jekyll front matter / relative links) instead of letting them drift.
- Fix Node.js version references (20.x -> 22.x) in README.md and
docs/installation.md to match ops/install.sh and the Dockerfile.
- Note that the manual nginx-conf/systemd install steps in README.md and
docs/installation.md won't auto-track repo changes the way install.sh's
symlink approach does, and recommend install.sh.
- Update the stale test/unit file lists in docs/contributing.md and
nodejs/test/README.md to match the actual directory contents.
- Add npm run test:integration to README.md's Running Tests section.
- Add nodejs/conf/, nodejs/controller/, and nodejs/migrations/ to the project
structure diagrams in README.md, docs/architecture.md, and
docs/contributing.md.
- Standardize "CloudFlare" -> "Cloudflare" everywhere to match the actual API
value in nodejs/models/dns_provider.js.
- Add the missing app_auth__adminGroups row to DEPLOYMENT.md's app_* table.
- Delete docs/CNAME (custom domain) so GitHub Pages serves from the default
https://theta42.github.io/proxy/, matching docs/README.md.
