Every attachment — a document scan, a fuel receipt, a workshop invoice, a
photo of a part's box — has lived inside pb_data, in a directory beside the
SQLite file. One volume held both, so neither could be sized, backed up or
moved without the other. PocketBase can keep those bytes in an S3 bucket
instead, and now it is told to.
Nothing on the way to a client changes, because an attachment was never a
storage URL to begin with: it is fetched from GET /api/{records}/{id}/file,
which re-checks car access and asks PocketBase for the bytes as the service
account. PocketBase streams from the bucket through that same endpoint rather
than redirecting to it, so the web app, the phone and the plugin cannot tell
which side of the switch they are on.
The bootstrap that already creates the collections now writes PocketBase's
files-storage settings too, from PB_S3_*, on every boot and only when they
differ from what is already there — then asks PocketBase to prove it can reach
the bucket, and says so in the log either way. Two asymmetries are deliberate.
A read of the settings masks the stored secret, so a rotation of the secret
alone is invisible from here and needs another PB_S3_* to move with it. And it
never turns S3 back off: files already written to a bucket are reachable only
while PocketBase still points at it, so dropping the configuration would strand
them rather than undo anything.
Each deployment shape is one compose file with an .env example of the same
name, not a base plus an overlay to remember — six of each per folder, for
Docker and Docker-AIO alike: the plain one, .seaweedfs, .s3, and the three prod
twins. The SeaweedFS files run master, volume, filer and gateway as one process
and a one-shot init container beside it, because PocketBase never issues a
CreateBucket and SeaweedFS will not conjure one on first upload. The credentials
do double duty there — the gateway's only identity is also what PocketBase
authenticates with. In the all-in-one that gateway is a second container rather
than a fourth process under supervisord: keeping the object store inside the
image, on the volume the files are being moved off, would have defeated the
point and would have meant rebuilding.
Files uploaded before the switch are not carried across; PocketBase copies
nothing, and both READMEs say so where an operator will read it.
The TLS overlay and its Caddyfile go. The section they served stays, without
them: nothing in the stack terminates TLS any more, so it now names the four
variables to set in front of whichever proxy already does — TRUST_FORWARDED_PROTO
being the one that decides whether a charger is believed about how it arrived.
Unexercised: this was written on a machine without Docker, so the pinned
SeaweedFS image, the bucket-create and the settings write have not been run
against a live stack. The Go side builds, vets and tests clean.

# DriverVault — API Server
|
|
|
|
The central API Server for the DriverVault project. Written in Go (standard
|
|
library only, module `drivervault/apiserver`). It is the **single gateway**
|
|
between all clients (web app, phone app, Home Assistant plugin, ESP32 device)
|
|
and the PocketBase database — **clients never talk to PocketBase directly**. The
|
|
API Server authenticates to PocketBase as a superuser and all collection access
|
|
rules are left null, so data is only reachable through this server.
|
|
|
|
It also serves the **superadmin web panel** at the server root (`/`).
|
|
|

|
## Auth & access control
|
|
|
|
Authentication is **PocketBase's own**. `POST /api/auth/login` is proxied to the
|
|
PocketBase users collection and the client keeps the token PocketBase minted;
|
|
this server does not issue its own JWT. Every protected request re-resolves that
|
|
token against PocketBase (`auth-refresh`), so a role change or a deletion takes
|
|
effect **immediately** rather than lingering until a token expires.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
POST /api/auth/login { "email": "...", "password": "..." } -> PocketBase { token, record }
|
|
GET /api/auth/me (Authorization: <token>) -> { id, email, name, role }
|
|
GET /api/identity (Authorization: <token>) -> + organization
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Both `Authorization: Bearer <token>` and a raw `Authorization: <token>` are
|
|
accepted (PocketBase's own SDKs send the latter).
|
|
|
|
### Roles
|
|
|
|
`users.role` is `user` | `admin` | `superadmin` (empty is treated as `user`).
|
|
|
|
| Role | Can |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| **user** | their own cars, service records, parts, profile |
|
|
| **admin** | the above, plus manage users **within their own organization** |
|
|
| **superadmin** | everything, across all organizations, plus the PocketBase connection and plugins |
|
|
|
|
Guards worth knowing: an admin cannot create or edit a superadmin, cannot move
|
|
users between organizations, and nobody can change their own role or delete
|
|
their own account. An organization cannot be deleted while it still has members.
|
|
|
|
### Organizations
|
|
|
|
`organizations` is the tenant collection; `users.organization` is the
|
|
membership. A superadmin spans all organizations; an admin is scoped by the
|
|
server to their own. Users may have no organization at all.
|
|
|
|
Creating one is self-service: any user who does not already belong to an
|
|
organization may `POST /api/orgs`, and becomes that organization's **admin** and
|
|
first member in the same request (if the promotion fails the new organization is
|
|
rolled back, so it is never left with nobody able to administer it). A user who
|
|
already belongs to one is refused — membership is a single relation, so creating
|
|
a second would mean silently abandoning the first.
|
|
|
|
A superadmin is the exception: they create organizations without joining them,
|
|
since they already span every tenant.
|
|
|
|
From there an admin manages **their own** organization — rename it, or delete it
|
|
once they are its only member. Deleting it detaches and demotes them back to a
|
|
plain `user` before the record is removed, so the organization is empty when it
|
|
goes. A superadmin may rename or delete any organization, but still only once it
|
|
has no members at all.
|
|
|
|
### Per-user car ownership + sharing
|
|
|
|
Cars are not a global list. `cars.owner` marks ownership and `car_shares` grants
|
|
other users `read` or `write` access. Every car/service/part handler is gated by
|
|
`requireCarAccess`:
|
|
|
|
- **read** — view the car, its service records and parts.
|
|
- **write** — edit the car and full service/part CRUD.
|
|
- **owner only** — delete the car and manage its shares.
|
|
|
|
## Data model
|
|
|
|
| Collection | Purpose | Key fields |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| `cars` | one per car | name, make, model, year, registration, `registrationCountry`, vin, `fuelType`, `buildDate`, `firstRegistrationDate`, `currentKm`, `serviceIntervalDays` (365), `serviceIntervalKm` (15000), `technicalCheckIntervalDays` (365), `oilSpec`, `transmissionOilSpec`, `differentialOilSpec`, `brakeFluidSpec`, `coolantSpec`, `owner` |
|
|
| `service_records` | the service log | car, date, km, changed_oil, changed_engine_air_filter, changed_cabin_air_filter, notes |
|
|
| `technical_checks` | roadworthiness inspections (przegląd techniczny / MOT / TÜV) | car, date, `result` (passed \| failed), cost, station, `valid_until`, notes |
|
|
| `parts` | per-car parts catalog | car, name, part_number, category, notes |
|
|
| `fuel_entries` | refuelling log (efficiency derived on read) | car, date, km, liters, cost, `full_tank`, `missed_fill`, station, notes |
|
|
| `charging_sessions` | EV charging log, the same shape as the refuelling one (kWh/100km derived on read) | car, date, km, kwh, cost, `full_charge`, `missed_session`, location, notes |
|
|
| `maintenance_entries` | workshop visits & repairs (outside routine service) | car, date, km, type, status, workshop, parts_used, labor_cost, parts_cost, invoice_number, warranty_until, notes |
|
|
| `car_documents` | paperwork (insurance, registration, road tax, …) | car, type, title, provider, reference, issue_date, expiry_date, cost, notes |
|
|
| `reminders` | date/odometer reminders (some auto-derived) | car, title, type, due_date, due_km, repeat_days, repeat_km, done, done_at, notes |
|
|
| `car_shares` | grants another user access to a car | car, user, `permission` (read \| write) |
|
|
| `organizations` | tenants | name (unique) |
|
|
| `home_chargers` | the chargers a user owns, imported from a connected charger service | name, serial, vendor, model, site_name, power_kw, connector, `provider`, `provider_charger_id`, owner |
|
|
| `control_audit` | charger control-command audit trail | user, charger, action, result, timestamp |
|
|
| `users` | login + profile (built-in auth collection) | name, email, avatar, `role` (user \| admin \| superadmin), `organization`, bio, theme, locale, date_format, currency, font_size, deletion_requested_at |
|
|
|
|
Every record collection except `car_shares` / `organizations` / `control_audit`
|
|
/ `home_chargers` carries **one optional file attachment**, served only through
|
|
the API Server
|
|
(`GET /api/{records}/{id}/file`) — never a public PocketBase URL.
|
|
|
|
**Spreadsheet formulas** (from the original `Car Service.xlsx`), reproduced by
|
|
the API on read:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Next Service Date = service date + serviceIntervalDays (Excel: =A+365)
|
|
Next Service Km = service km + serviceIntervalKm (Excel: =B+15000)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
These come back on each service record as `nextServiceDate` / `nextServiceKm`.
|
|
|
|

`GET /api/cars` returns the caller's owned cars plus any shared with them, each
|
|
annotated with an `access` field. The per-record list endpoints also accept a
|
|
`?car={id}` filter (e.g. `GET /api/service-records?car={id}`).
|
|
|
|
> **Gotcha:** `updateCar` rewrites **all** car columns from the payload, so a
|
|
> `PATCH /api/cars/{id}` must send the **full** car object — omitted spec fields
|
|
> get blanked. (The phone's odometer quick-edit sends the whole car for this
|
|
> reason.) The two exceptions are `owner` and the provider link (`provider`,
|
|
> `provider_vehicle_id`), which `carPayload` deliberately leaves out so an
|
|
> ordinary edit can neither reassign the car nor break its connected service.
|
|
|
|
### Vehicle providers
|
|
|
|
`internal/api/vehicleproviders.go` turns a manufacturer-service plugin into a car
|
|
you can create from your own account with that service, plus a per-car tab showing
|
|
everything the service currently knows about it. Toyota (MyToyota) is the first
|
|
provider; adding the next one means writing a `vehicleSource` adapter and
|
|
appending it to `vehicleSources()` — no new endpoints and no Web App changes.
|
|
|
|
Two properties shape the design:
|
|
|
|
- **Credentials are always the caller's.** Every provider call resolves through
|
|
the same global → org → user cascade as the integration settings, so a car
|
|
shared with someone else shows them provider data only when that vehicle is on
|
|
*their* manufacturer account. The owner's credentials are never borrowed.
|
|
- **Upstream shapes are not modelled.** These are unofficial APIs. Rather than
|
|
hard-coding field paths, the layer searches payloads by key name for the handful
|
|
of readings worth promoting (odometer, fuel, battery, range) and flattens the
|
|
rest to dotted key/value pairs, shipping the raw payload alongside. A renamed
|
|
field costs one blank value instead of a broken page.
|
|
|
|
`POST .../import` takes `{vehicleId, name?, include?}`, where `include` selects
|
|
which groups to pull (`identity`, `fuelType`, `dates`, `odometer`). Omitting it
|
|
means "everything available". `POST /api/cars/{id}/provider/sync` takes the same
|
|
selection, and only ever moves the odometer forward — a reading that appears to go
|
|
backwards is a stale provider, not a car driven in reverse.
|
|
|
|
## The panel (`/`)
|
|
|
|
A Vue 3 + Tailwind app (source in `panel/`, built into `internal/api/dist` and
|
|
embedded at compile time). It is the superadmin console:
|
|
|
|
- **Overview** — live health of the API Server, PocketBase and the Web App.
|
|
- **Users / Organizations** — full management, scoped to the caller's role.
|
|
- **PocketBase** — retarget the database connection at runtime; test before
|
|
saving. Applied immediately **and** persisted to `.env`, so it survives a
|
|
restart. This is the escape hatch when the configured PocketBase is wrong or
|
|
unreachable — the settings endpoints deliberately do **not** require a working
|
|
service account.
|
|
- **Plugins** — enable/disable/configure integrations, run health checks,
|
|
register external plugins.
|
|
- **API** — the endpoint reference.
|
|
|
|
Log in with any DriverVault account; the sections you see depend on your role.
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
cd panel
|
|
npm install
|
|
npm run dev # localhost:5174, proxies /api to localhost:8080
|
|
npm run build # -> ../internal/api/dist (then rebuild the Go binary)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Editing panel source alone does nothing to the served panel — run `npm run build`
|
|
and then rebuild the Go binary, since `dist` is embedded.
|
|
|
|
## Plugins
|
|
|
|
An extension system for integrating third-party services, managed by a
|
|
superadmin. Two kinds share one contract: **built-in** (Go, compiled in) and
|
|
**external** (any HTTP service, registered at runtime, **no rebuild**). Enable
|
|
state and global config persist to PocketBase, in the `app_settings` singleton —
|
|
the same place the per-org and per-user layers of the cascade live.
|
|
|
|
See **[`internal/plugins/README.md`](internal/plugins/README.md)** for the full
|
|
guide. Four built-in connectors ship today — **Toyota Connected** (`toyota`,
|
|
read-only MyToyota vehicle data), the **Anker Solix** V1 EV charger
|
|
(`anker-solix`), the **Greencell** HabuDen EV charger (`greencell`) and
|
|
**Apprise** (`apprise`, notifications) — and any number of external HTTP plugins
|
|
can be registered at runtime with no rebuild.
|
|
|
|
### Integrations & charging control
|
|
|
|
Beyond the superadmin plugin registry, the built-in connectors are exposed
|
|
per-user through `/api/integrations/*` under a **superadmin → org admin → user**
|
|
cascade (each layer supplies defaults the next can override).
|
|
|
|
Anker Solix chargers can be controlled three ways, chosen per user with the
|
|
control mode, and they differ in what the deployment has to make reachable.
|
|
|
|
The **Anker cloud** mode asks nothing of the network at all. The charger already
|
|
holds a connection open to Anker's MQTT broker — it is how the mobile app reaches
|
|
it from anywhere — so the connector joins that broker as the account
|
|
(`app/devicemanage/get_user_mqtt_info` issues a client certificate; mTLS to
|
|
`aiot-mqtt-eu.anker.com:8883`) and publishes on the same topics the app does.
|
|
Nothing is forwarded, addressed or certificated on the customer's side, which
|
|
makes it the mode for a charger somewhere else entirely; the cost is a dependency
|
|
on Anker's cloud and on an unofficial protocol, since the messages carry a binary
|
|
device frame rather than an API call. It also reports two signals no other
|
|
transport can see — the boost flag and the plug/start countdowns.
|
|
|
|
**Modbus TCP** (`internal/modbus`) dials the charger on the local network using
|
|
the register map Anker publishes for the V1; the owner enables it in the Anker
|
|
app under Settings > Integrations and saves the address it shows. It needs no
|
|
inbound connectivity and no cloud, but it does need the server to share a network
|
|
with the charger.
|
|
|
|
The two **OCPP 1.6J** modes instead run a Central System (`internal/ocpp`) that
|
|
the charger dials back into at `GET /ocpp/{serial}` (authenticated with OCPP
|
|
Basic auth using a per-charger control token, not a bearer token), which requires
|
|
the charger to be able to reach this server.
|
|
|
|
Whichever is in force, the owner can start/stop and set charge limits, with every
|
|
command rate-limited and written to a `control_audit` trail. A command a
|
|
transport has no equivalent for is refused by name, saying which transport does
|
|
have it.
|
|
|
|
**Greencell** takes the other route. The HabuDen wallbox has no cloud API: it is
|
|
commissioned over Bluetooth in the Greencell GC app, pointed at an MQTT broker
|
|
the owner runs, and from then on publishes its telemetry there. The connector is
|
|
therefore an MQTT client (`internal/mqtt`, hand-rolled like the WebSocket layer,
|
|
since the server takes no dependencies) that joins the same broker and reads
|
|
`/greencell/evse/{sn}/…` — the topics Home Assistant's own `greencell`
|
|
integration speaks, which is the only published description of the protocol. It
|
|
is read-only: the device accepts START/STOP/SET_CURRENT in EXECUTE mode, but the
|
|
topic those go to is documented nowhere, and Home Assistant ships without control
|
|
for the same reason. An operator who has identified their own command topic can
|
|
set `commandTopic`, which is used only to send `QUERY` — the one command a
|
|
READ-mode device also honours — so a read does not have to wait out the
|
|
charger's own publish cadence.

|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and fill in. Summary:
|
|
|
|
| Variable | Default | Purpose |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| `API_ADDR` | `:8080` | listen address (bare port accepted) |
|
|
| `POCKETBASE_URL` | `http://10.2.1.10:8027` | PocketBase base URL |
|
|
| `POCKETBASE_ADMIN_EMAIL` / `_PASSWORD` | — | superuser service account |
|
|
| `CORS_ALLOW_ORIGINS` | `*` | comma-separated browser origins |
|
|
| `WEBAPP_URL` | `http://localhost:8090` | probed by `/api/status` |
|
|
| `AUTH_USERS_COLLECTION` | `users` | PocketBase auth collection |
|
|
| `OCPP_REQUIRE_TLS` | `true` | reject chargers that did not connect over TLS |
|
|
| `OCPP_PUBLIC_URL` | — | canonical `ws(s)://` base to point chargers at |
|
|
| `PB_BOOTSTRAP` | `true` | run the on-boot schema create/reconcile (leave on across upgrades) |
|
|
| `DRIVERVAULT_SUPERADMIN_EMAIL` / `_PASSWORD` / `_NAME` | — / — / `Administrator` | first `superadmin`, created on boot when absent |
|
|
| `PB_S3_ENABLED` | `false` | keep PocketBase's record files in an S3 bucket instead of on its own volume |
|
|
| `PB_S3_BUCKET` | `drivervault` | the bucket; it must already exist |
|
|
| `PB_S3_ENDPOINT` | — | e.g. `http://seaweedfs:8333`. No default: in-stack and external gateways are different addresses |
|
|
| `PB_S3_REGION` | `us-east-1` | SeaweedFS ignores it, PocketBase insists on one |
|
|
| `PB_S3_ACCESS_KEY` / `PB_S3_SECRET` | — | S3 credentials |
|
|
| `PB_S3_FORCE_PATH_STYLE` | `true` | path-style bucket addressing; `false` for AWS S3 proper |
|
|
|
|
The `PB_S3_*` block is applied by the same on-boot bootstrap that creates the
|
|
collections, and only when **all** of bucket, endpoint and credentials are set —
|
|
a half-filled config logs a warning and leaves uploads on the local volume. It
|
|
writes PocketBase's *Files storage* settings and nothing else: backups stay
|
|
where they are, and it never turns S3 back *off*, since files already in a bucket
|
|
are reachable only while PocketBase still points at it. Attachments are served
|
|
through this server either way ([`internal/api/attachments.go`](internal/api/attachments.go)),
|
|
so no client can tell the difference. See [`../Docker`](../Docker) for the compose
|
|
files that set these.
|
|
|
|
`PB_URL`, `PB_ADMIN_EMAIL`, `PB_ADMIN_PASSWORD`, `PORT` and `CORS_ORIGINS` are
|
|
still honoured for older deployments; the modern names win when both are set.
|
|
|
|
The server keeps **no state on disk**: plugin settings, like everything else it
|
|
owns, live in PocketBase. A `.env` in the working directory is read at startup as
|
|
a local-development convenience, and the panel writes back to it when a
|
|
superadmin retargets PocketBase or the Web App — but in Docker there is no volume
|
|
behind it, so those two screens apply for the life of the container only. Set the
|
|
environment variables to change them permanently; see [`Dockerfile`](Dockerfile)
|
|
and [`../Docker`](../Docker).
|
|
|
|
`CORS_ALLOW_ORIGINS` only matters for **browser** clients (the web app). Native
|
|
mobile apps are not subject to CORS.
|
|
|
|
The service account is **optional at startup**: without it the server still runs
|
|
and a superadmin can log in and configure it from the panel, while management
|
|
endpoints return 503.

## Scripts (`scripts/`)
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
node scripts/setup-pocketbase.mjs # create/reconcile collections (idempotent)
|
|
node scripts/create-user.mjs <email> <pw> "Name" # create an app login
|
|
node scripts/set-role.mjs <email> user|admin|superadmin
|
|
node scripts/backfill-car-owners.mjs # one-off: assign owner to legacy cars
|
|
python scripts/seed_from_excel.py "C:/Users/jania/Desktop/Car Service.xlsx"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The Node scripts read `POCKETBASE_URL` / `POCKETBASE_ADMIN_EMAIL` /
|
|
`POCKETBASE_ADMIN_PASSWORD` (or the legacy `PB_*` names) from the environment.

|
|
|
|
## First-time setup
|
|
|
|
1. **Create the PocketBase collections** (idempotent — safe to re-run on an
|
|
existing deployment; it adds `organizations`, `users.organization`, and grows
|
|
`users.role` to include `superadmin`):
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
$env:POCKETBASE_URL="http://10.2.1.10:8027"
|
|
$env:POCKETBASE_ADMIN_EMAIL="you@example.com"
|
|
$env:POCKETBASE_ADMIN_PASSWORD="secret"
|
|
node scripts/setup-pocketbase.mjs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. **Mint the first superadmin.** The panel's management screens need one, and
|
|
only a superadmin can promote another — so the first has to come from the
|
|
script:
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
node scripts/create-user.mjs admin@example.com "a-long-password" "Admin"
|
|
node scripts/set-role.mjs admin@example.com superadmin
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. **Run the server** — `go run ./cmd/server`, or build and run the binary.
|
|
|
|
4. **Open the panel** at `http://localhost:8080/` and sign in.
|
|
|
|
5. **(Optional) Seed from the spreadsheet** with the server running (see scripts).
|
|
|
|
## Build & run
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
go build -o bin/api-server.exe ./cmd/server
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The deployment runs the **prebuilt binary** `bin/api-server.exe` (not `go run`),
|
|
started detached so it survives the shell:
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
Start-Process -FilePath ".\bin\api-server.exe" -WorkingDirectory "." `
|
|
-WindowStyle Hidden -RedirectStandardOutput api-server.out.log `
|
|
-RedirectStandardError api-server.err.log
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Go's `log` package writes to **stderr**, so check `api-server.err.log` for
|
|
request logs and errors. After editing any Go source, rebuild and restart the
|
|
process — editing source alone does nothing until the binary is rebuilt.
|
|
|
|
## Migrating from the JWT build
|
|
|
|
Earlier builds minted their own HS256 JWT and tracked a `sessions` collection
|
|
for "active devices" / remote logout. That is gone — the server now relays
|
|
PocketBase tokens. Consequences:
|
|
|
|
- **`AUTH_SECRET` is obsolete** and ignored.
|
|
- **Login returns PocketBase's envelope** — `{token, record}`, not `{token, user}`.
|
|
- **`GET|DELETE /api/sessions*` are gone.** PocketBase tokens are stateless, so
|
|
there is nothing to revoke per-device. To lock every device out of an account,
|
|
change its password: PocketBase rotates the user's token key, which
|
|
invalidates every token already issued.
|
|
- **User management moved** from `/api/admin/users*` to `/api/users*`, and the
|
|
separate password-reset endpoint folded into `PATCH /api/users/{id}`
|
|
(`{"password": "..."}`). Responses are enveloped: `{users}` / `{user}`.
|
|
- **Existing tokens are invalid** — every client must log in once more.
|
|
- The `sessions` collection is left in PocketBase rather than dropped; delete it
|
|
by hand if you want it gone.
|
|
|
|
The Web App and Phone App in this repo are already updated for all of the above.
