Control had two transports and neither fitted the ordinary customer. OCPP waits for the charger to dial in, which needs a public endpoint it can reach, a certificate, and a firmware willing to talk to our CSMS. Modbus TCP dials the charger, which needs the server on the charger's own network. Between them they cover a charger we host and a charger we stand next to; the common case is a charger behind someone else's router, and that had nothing. It was never unreachable, though. The charger holds a connection open to Anker's own broker — it is how the mobile app drives it from anywhere, and it is the mqttStatus register the Modbus snapshot has been reporting all along. So a third control mode joins that broker as the account: get_user_mqtt_info issues a client certificate, mTLS to aiot-mqtt-eu.anker.com:8883, and commands go out on the same topics the app publishes on. Nothing on the customer's side has to be forwarded, addressed or certificated. What travels is not an API call. The payload is a JSON envelope around a base64 binary frame the device itself speaks — marker, little-endian length, message type, name/length/type/value fields, XOR checksum — so mqttframe.go is a codec rather than a client, written from the message maps in anker-solix-api and anchored on the one frame that project documents byte for byte. A frame whose fields do not tile exactly up to the checksum is refused rather than half-read: these arrive over a link we do not control, and a truncated frame must not read as a charger reporting zeros. Two of the charger's habits shape the rest. It publishes nothing unless asked, so a status read arms a telemetry trigger and waits for the next frame, and a poll inside that window answers from what has since arrived. And a broker connection costs a fetched certificate and a TLS handshake while the plugin manager builds a throwaway instance per request — so the connection lives on the account's shared session beside the auth token, for exactly the reason the token lives there, and closes itself after five idle minutes. The transport also sees two signals no other one does: the boost flag, and the plug and start countdowns. The package doc has said since the first commit that they are never set and the derived mode must do without them. Here they are set, so a charger that has been told to start and is counting down a delay says so rather than sitting in "preparing", and "skip the delay" is offered only while there is a delay to skip. The clients generalise instead of growing a second layout. Both snapshots name the same quantities the same way, so what was Modbus-only in the readouts is now whichever transport read the charger — ModbusStatus becomes ChargerStatus on the phone, mb becomes dev on the web. What each transport can be *told* still differs, and the buttons branch on that: reset and clear-limit stay with OCPP, the timeout and phase registers with Modbus, skip-delay with the cloud. A command a transport has no equivalent for is refused by name, saying which one has it. The cost is worth saying plainly. This leans on Anker's cloud being up and on an unofficial protocol the app may change under us, where Modbus leans on nothing but the LAN. And it is checked against the reference implementation's own worked example rather than against hardware — there is no charger on this end to point it at.

# 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_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.
|
|
|
|
> **PocketBase note:** collections created by the setup script do **not** get
|
|
> automatic `created`/`updated` autodate fields in this PocketBase version —
|
|
> sorting on `created` fails unless an explicit `F.autodate(...)` is added. When
|
|
> adding a new car spec field, extend `DESIRED.cars` in `setup-pocketbase.mjs`,
|
|
> add it to `models.Car` + the record mapping in `records.go`, then rebuild.
|
|
|
|
> **Startup bootstrap:** the server also runs this same create/reconcile on boot
|
|
> (`internal/bootstrap`, a Go mirror of `setup-pocketbase.mjs`) whenever a service
|
|
> account is configured, so the Docker prod stack needs no manual setup step. It
|
|
> is idempotent and gated by `PB_BOOTSTRAP` (default `true`; set to `false` to
|
|
> skip). With `DRIVERVAULT_SUPERADMIN_EMAIL` + `DRIVERVAULT_SUPERADMIN_PASSWORD`
|
|
> set it also creates the first `superadmin` user when absent. **Keep the two
|
|
> schemas in sync:** a change to `DESIRED` in the script must be mirrored in
|
|
> `internal/bootstrap/schema.go` (guarded by `TestSchemaConsistency`).
|
|
|
|
## 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.
