# Run Instructions

## Project Description

Minmon is a student-friendly web dashboard for managing private servers, services, domains, and internal notes. The current implementation focuses on protected CRUD flows plus lightweight DNS A-record checking.

## Current Main Features

- Admin sign-in with better-auth
- Root route (`/`) redirects automatically:
  - logged in -> `/dashboard`
  - not logged in -> `/login`
- Dashboard summary for:
  - total servers
  - total services
  - total domains
  - DNS match / mismatch / unresolved counts
  - inactive or down services
  - recent notes
- Server CRUD
- Service CRUD
- Domain CRUD
- Note CRUD
- Domain DNS check from:
  - domain list
  - domain detail page
- Server detail page includes notes that belong to that server
- Foreign-key form fields use select inputs for related records:
  - service -> server
  - domain -> service
  - note -> server
- Sample seeded admin and demo dataset

## Current Route Structure

- `/` -> auth-based redirect
- `/login` -> sign-in page
- `/dashboard` -> summary page
- `/dashboard/servers` -> server list
- `/dashboard/servers/new` -> create server
- `/dashboard/servers/$serverId` -> server detail + edit + related notes
- `/dashboard/services` -> service list
- `/dashboard/services/new` -> create service
- `/dashboard/services/$serviceId` -> service detail + edit
- `/dashboard/domains` -> domain list
- `/dashboard/domains/new` -> create domain
- `/dashboard/domains/$domainId` -> domain detail + edit
- `/dashboard/notes` -> note list
- `/dashboard/notes/new` -> create note
- `/dashboard/notes/$noteId` -> note detail + edit

## Local Setup

1. Install dependencies

```bash
bun install
```

2. Prepare environment file at `apps/server/.env`

Example values:

```env
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/minmon
BETTER_AUTH_SECRET=your-32-char-or-longer-secret-value-here
BETTER_AUTH_URL=http://localhost:3000
CORS_ORIGIN=http://localhost:5173
NODE_ENV=development
```

3. Prepare web environment at `apps/web/.env`

```env
VITE_SERVER_URL=http://localhost:3000
```

4. Ensure the web app can reach the server

- The web client uses the better-auth client with `env.VITE_SERVER_URL`
- Make sure the web environment points to the running API server

5. Start PostgreSQL if needed

```bash
bun run db:start
```

6. Apply schema

```bash
bun run db:push
```

7. Seed sample data

```bash
bun run --filter @minmon/db db:seed
```

Seeded admin login:

- Email: `admin@minmon.local`
- Password: `admin12345`

8. Run the apps

```bash
bun run dev
```

9. Open the app

- Web: `http://localhost:5173`
- API: `http://localhost:3000`

## Current Behavior Notes

### List Ordering

- Main CRUD list pages are ordered by:
  - `createdAt DESC`
  - then `id DESC`
- This keeps row ordering deterministic after refetch.

### Delete Actions

- List pages use a two-click destructive icon flow:
  - first click: trash icon
  - second click: check icon confirms delete
- Confirm state resets on blur and timeout.

### Domain DNS Check

- Domain list uses the DNS status badge itself as the check trigger.
- Domain detail page also provides a DNS check action.
- DNS checking resolves IPv4 A records only.

### Relationship Behavior

- Deleting a server removes related services, domains, and notes through cascade rules in the database.
- Deleting a service removes related domains through cascade rules.

## Helpful Commands

```bash
bun run check-types
bun run db:push
bun run db:studio
bun run --filter web check-types
bun run --filter server check-types
bun x tsc --noEmit -p packages/api/tsconfig.json
```

## Notes

- Full workspace typecheck may still fail because of a pre-existing `apps/desktop` typing issue for `three`.
- The verified implementation path is the web app + server app + database push + database seed.
- DNS checking is limited to A record / IPv4.
- This project is not a deployment platform and does not include SSH, Docker orchestration, or reverse proxy automation.
