kyleandClaude Opus 5.5 d4e821799c Add an admin page for managing collector API keys
Admins (Microsoft 365 sign-in names in BACKUP_DASH_ADMINS) get an
Admin link to /admin.html, where they can create, list and revoke the
API keys collectors use, instead of running manage.py on the server.

Backend
- /api/v1/admin/keys (list, create, revoke), admins only (403
  otherwise); the user comes from the headers nginx sets after sign-in
- Changes need an X-Requested-By header, which another site's page
  can't add, so a signed-in admin's browser can't be used to forge them
- A new key is returned once; only its hash is stored. Names are unique
  for good, so revoked keys' history stays unambiguous
- Keys record who created/revoked them and the company they last
  reported for (schema v2; databases migrate automatically on start)
- /api/v1/me reports is_admin; manage.py shares the key code and
  records itself as creator/revoker

Frontend
- admin.html / admin.js: name validation shown after interaction
  (:user-invalid, aria-invalid kept in sync), the one-time key with a
  copy button (falls back to selecting it if clipboard access is
  refused), a key table flagging keys quiet for over 24 hours, and
  revoking confirmed in a <dialog>; results announced in a status region
- Shared el() and signed-in helpers moved to dom.js / signed-in.js
- Mock mode (?mock=1) includes sample keys

Tested: 15 new backend tests (access, forged requests, names,
duplicates, revoking, last-used company, v1 -> v2 upgrade); in the
browser, every admin flow in mock mode and at phone width; end to end
through the nginx config with the real API (a key created on the API
works for ingest; revoking it makes ingest 401; non-admins see an
explanation and no Admin link).

# Backup-Dashboard
Proof of concept backup dashboard, intended to display backup jobs from multiple sources.
```
collectors ──POST /api/v1/ingest (API key)──▶ ┌──────────────┐
│ FastAPI + │
browser ──nginx (TLS)──▶ /api/* ─────────────▶│ SQLite │
│ └─ static files: public/ └──────────────┘
└─ auth_request ─▶ oauth2-proxy ─▶ Microsoft Entra ID (Microsoft 365 sign-in)
```
- `public/`: static frontend (no build step). Add `?mock=1` to the URL to use built-in sample data.
- `backend/`: FastAPI API backed by a single SQLite file.
- `deploy/`: nginx site and systemd unit.
- `collectors/`: PowerShell scripts that report results from backup products ([Veeam B&R](collectors/veeam/README.md), [Azure Backup / MARS](collectors/mars/README.md), [Windows Server Backup](collectors/wsb/README.md), [Veeam Backup for M365](collectors/vb365/README.md)). Code they share (config, logging, posting, state, installing) is in `collectors/common/BackupDashboard.Collector.psm1`.
## Data model
- **Tenant** (company) → **Job** → **Run**.
- A job is keyed by `(tenant, source_system, job.external_id)`, so renaming a job at the source updates it instead of creating a duplicate.
- A run has `status` (`running` | `success` | `warning` | `failed`), `started_at` and `finished_at`.
The dashboard's **Last Run** is the most recent `finished_at`. While a job is running it shows
**Running**, and Last Run still shows when the previous run finished.
- Runs older than `BACKUP_DASH_RETENTION_DAYS` (default 90, minimum 30) are purged every 6 hours.
## Reporting results (collectors)
Each collector (a script on a Veeam server, a webhook relay, etc.) gets its own API key:
```bash
cd backend && python manage.py create-key veeam-acme
```
Then it POSTs one report per run. Send `running` when a run starts (optional) and the final status
when it ends. Reports with the same `started_at` (or `run.external_id`) update the same run, and
retries are safe.
```bash
curl -X POST https://backups.example.com/api/v1/ingest \
-H "Authorization: Bearer bdk_..." -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"tenant": "Acme Corp",
"source_system": "Veeam B&R",
"job": { "external_id": "4f1c…", "name": "File Server – Nightly", "next_run_at": "2026-10-05T22:00:00-04:00" },
"run": {
"status": "success",
"started_at": "2026-10-04T22:00:05-04:00",
"finished_at": "2026-10-04T22:47:12-04:00",
"message": "Job completed successfully.",
"size_bytes": 128849018880,
"details": { "repository": "REPO-01" }
}
}'
```
- All timestamps must include a timezone offset (`Get-Date -Format o` in PowerShell does this).
- `job.next_run_at` controls the **Overdue** flag. If you omit it, the stored value is kept. If you send `null`, it's cleared.
- `run` can be omitted to only register or update a job.
- Unknown fields are rejected (HTTP 422), so typos in collector scripts fail loudly.
## API (read)
| Endpoint | Returns |
|---|---|
| `GET /api/v1/jobs` | All jobs with current status, `running_since`, `last_run_at`, `next_run_at` |
| `GET /api/v1/jobs/{id}` | One job, plus the last finished run's duration, size, message and details |
| `GET /api/v1/jobs/{id}/runs?days=30` | Run history (no messages), newest first |
| `GET /api/v1/runs/{id}` | One run including message and details |
| `GET /api/v1/health` | `{"status": "ok"}` |
The OpenAPI schema is at `/api/v1/openapi.json`.
## Authentication
- **Dashboard users:** Microsoft 365 sign-in. nginx checks every request with
[oauth2-proxy](https://oauth2-proxy.github.io/oauth2-proxy/), which signs users in with Microsoft
Entra ID. Who may sign in is controlled in Entra (users or a group assigned to the app). Every
signed-in user can see every tenant. Sessions last 12 hours; signing in again is usually silent.
The dashboard shows who's signed in; **Sign out** also signs out of Microsoft in that browser,
otherwise the next visit would sign straight back in.
- **Admins:** the sign-in names in `BACKUP_DASH_ADMINS` (in `/etc/backup-dashboard/backup-dashboard.env`,
comma-separated) get an **Admin** link to the API keys page. Restart the API after changing it.
- **Collectors:** per-collector bearer keys, checked by the app. Only a SHA-256 hash is stored.
`/api/v1/ingest` is the only path that doesn't need Microsoft sign-in.
### Managing API keys
On the **Admin** page (`/admin.html`), admins can:
- **Create** a key. It's shown once, with a copy button. Paste it when a collector's installer
asks for the API key.
- **See** each key's status, when it was last used and for which company, and who created it.
Active keys quiet for over 24 hours are flagged, since collectors report hourly.
- **Revoke** a key. The collectors using it are refused from their next run. This can't be undone,
and names stay taken, so the history stays unambiguous.
The same is possible from the server with `manage.py` (`create-key`, `list-keys`, `revoke-key`),
recorded as created/revoked by `manage.py (<user>)`.
### Microsoft 365 sign-in setup
**In the Microsoft Entra admin center** (entra.microsoft.com), as an admin of your tenant:
1. *App registrations → New registration*. Name: `Backup Dashboard`. Supported account types:
**Accounts in this organizational directory only** (single tenant). Redirect URI: platform
**Web**, `https://<your dashboard host>/oauth2/callback`. Register.
2. On its *Overview*, note the **Application (client) ID** and **Directory (tenant) ID**.
3. *Certificates & secrets → New client secret*. Copy the secret's **Value** now (it's only shown
once). Note its expiry date: sign-in stops working when it expires, so set a reminder to
create a new one before then.
4. *Enterprise applications → Backup Dashboard → Properties*: set **Assignment required** to
**Yes**. Then *Users and groups → Add user/group* and add the people (or a group) who should
see the dashboard. Everyone else in the tenant is refused by Microsoft before reaching it.
No API permissions beyond the default `User.Read` are needed.
**On the dashboard server:**
1. Install oauth2-proxy 7.8 or newer from its
[releases](https://github.com/oauth2-proxy/oauth2-proxy/releases) as `/usr/local/bin/oauth2-proxy`,
and create its user: `sudo useradd --system --no-create-home oauth2-proxy`.
2. Install the config and the client secret, readable only by root and oauth2-proxy:
```bash
sudo install -d -m 750 -g oauth2-proxy /etc/oauth2-proxy
sudo install -m 640 -g oauth2-proxy deploy/oauth2-proxy.cfg /etc/oauth2-proxy/backup-dashboard.cfg
sudo sh -c 'umask 027; printf %s "<client secret value>" > /etc/oauth2-proxy/client-secret' && sudo chgrp oauth2-proxy /etc/oauth2-proxy/client-secret
```
In `/etc/oauth2-proxy/backup-dashboard.cfg`, fill in `<TENANT_ID>`, `<APPLICATION_CLIENT_ID>`,
`<DASHBOARD_HOST>`, and `<COOKIE_SECRET>`, generated with:
`openssl rand -base64 32 | tr -- '+/' '-_'`
3. Install `deploy/oauth2-proxy.service` into `/etc/systemd/system/`, then
`sudo systemctl daemon-reload && sudo systemctl enable --now oauth2-proxy`.
Check it with `journalctl -u oauth2-proxy -n 20`: it should say "OAuthProxy configured for
Microsoft Entra ID".
4. Install the new `deploy/nginx.conf` (keeping your server name and certificate paths), then
`sudo nginx -t && sudo systemctl reload nginx`. Basic auth and its htpasswd file are no longer
used.
**Troubleshooting:** sign-in problems show in `journalctl -u oauth2-proxy`. Microsoft's own
errors (wrong redirect URI, user not assigned, expired secret) appear on its sign-in page with an
`AADSTS…` code.
## Development
```bash
cd backend
python -m venv .venv && . .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt -r requirements-dev.txt
pytest
python manage.py --create seed-demo # 30 days of fake history in ./backup-dashboard.db
BACKUP_DASH_SERVE_STATIC=1 uvicorn --factory app.main:create_app --reload
# → http://localhost:8000
```
Collector tests (PowerShell 7 + Pester; see [collectors/tests](collectors/tests/README.md)):
```powershell
./collectors/tests/Invoke-CollectorTests.ps1
```
## Deployment (Linux, nginx)
1. Copy the repo to `/opt/backup-dashboard`, create a venv at `/opt/backup-dashboard/venv`, and run `pip install -r backend/requirements.txt`.
2. Copy `deploy/backup-dashboard.env` to `/etc/backup-dashboard/backup-dashboard.env`. Both the service and `manage.py` read their settings from it.
3. Create a `backupdash` system user, then install `deploy/backup-dashboard-api.service` into `/etc/systemd/system/` and enable it. The database is created on first start.
4. Copy `public/` to `/var/www/backup-dashboard/public`, install `deploy/nginx.conf`, get a certificate with certbot, and set up Microsoft 365 sign-in (see [Microsoft 365 sign-in setup](#microsoft-365-sign-in-setup)).
5. Run `manage.py` as the service user. It finds the database through the env file:
```bash
cd /opt/backup-dashboard/backend
sudo -u backupdash /opt/backup-dashboard/venv/bin/python manage.py create-key veeam-acme
```
It prints the database path it's using and won't create a new database unless you pass `--create`.
Back up the SQLite file with `sqlite3 backup-dashboard.db ".backup copy.db"`. Don't use a plain `cp`
while the service is running.
