This commit adds support for shipping logs to external centralized logging platforms, addressing the MEDIUM priority task for structured logging infrastructure.
## Key Changes:
### 1. New Documentation: Docs/Observability.md
- Comprehensive guide to logging architecture and configuration
- Covers all three supported platforms (Datadog, Papertrail, Elasticsearch)
- Includes best practices, security considerations, and troubleshooting
- Documents sensitive data handling and compliance requirements
### 2. Core Implementation: app/utils/external_logging.py
- ExternalLogHandler: Abstract base class for non-blocking log delivery
- DatadogLogHandler: HTTP API integration with JSON payloads
- PapertrailLogHandler: Syslog protocol over TCP
- ElasticsearchLogHandler: Bulk API integration with NDJSON format
- Features:
- Async buffering with configurable batch size and flush interval
- Exponential backoff retry logic
- Non-blocking delivery (never blocks application logic)
- Proper error handling and internal logging
- Lifecycle management (start/shutdown)
### 3. Configuration: app/config.py
- New Settings fields for external logging:
- external_logging_enabled (default: False)
- external_logging_provider (datadog/papertrail/elasticsearch)
- external_logging_buffer_size (default: 1000)
- external_logging_flush_interval_seconds (default: 5.0)
- Provider-specific configuration (API keys, hosts, batch sizes)
- All fields have sensible defaults
- Full field validation and normalization
### 4. Integration: app/main.py
- Global _external_log_handler for application lifecycle
- _external_logging_processor: structlog processor for handler integration
- Updated _configure_logging(): Add handler to processor chain when enabled
- Updated _lifespan(): Initialize handler before startup, shutdown on termination
### 5. Tests: backend/tests/test_external_logging.py
- 20 comprehensive tests covering all handlers and factory
- Configuration validation tests
- All tests passing
## Design Decisions:
1. **Non-blocking Delivery**: External logging never blocks request handling.
Failures are logged locally but don't impact application.
2. **Buffering Strategy**: In-memory buffer with configurable size prevents
unbounded memory growth. When buffer fills, oldest logs are dropped with
a warning.
3. **Retry Logic**: Transient failures (timeouts, 5xx errors) are retried
with exponential backoff. Permanent failures (bad credentials) are logged
and skipped.
4. **Disabled by Default**: External logging is opt-in via environment
variables, maintaining backward compatibility with existing deployments.
5. **Provider Flexibility**: Support for multiple platforms allows users to
choose based on their infrastructure (cloud-native, on-premise, etc).
## Backward Compatibility:
- All new configuration fields have defaults
- External logging disabled by default
- No changes to existing logging behavior unless explicitly configured
- No new required dependencies
## Testing:
- All 20 new tests passing
- Existing tests unaffected (same count of passing tests)
- Configuration validation tested
- Handler creation and lifecycle management tested

Adds support for gradual session secret rotation without forcing logout:
- Add BANGUI_SESSION_SECRET_PREVIOUS config field for rotation window
- Implement unwrap_session_token_with_rotation() to accept tokens signed with
either current or previous secret
- Update validate_session() to transparently accept old tokens during rotation
- Update logout() to accept tokens from both secrets
- Add comprehensive logging for rotation events and metrics
- Add 8 new tests covering all rotation scenarios
- Update documentation with step-by-step rotation strategy
- Update .env.example with previous secret field
Key features:
- No forced logout: old tokens continue working during rotation window
- Transparent validation: old tokens are automatically logged for monitoring
- Production-safe: can rotate secrets without service interruption
- Metrics-ready: logs track token rotation for observability
Rotation workflow:
1. Generate new secret and set BANGUI_SESSION_SECRET
2. Set BANGUI_SESSION_SECRET_PREVIOUS to old secret
3. Wait for old tokens to expire (≥ session_duration_minutes)
4. Unset BANGUI_SESSION_SECRET_PREVIOUS to complete rotation

Make MaxMind GeoLite2-Country MMDB the primary IP resolver (local, encrypted)
and demote ip-api.com to optional fallback only (disabled by default).
Changes:
- Add geoip_allow_http_fallback config flag (default False) to Settings
- Refactor GeoCache.lookup() and lookup_batch() to try MMDB first
- Update startup.py to pass config flag and log security warning when HTTP enabled
- Update all 49 tests to reflect new MMDB-primary strategy
- Add comprehensive geoip configuration section to Backend-Development.md
- Update Architekture.md to show MMDB + optional HTTP in system dependencies
- Update .env.example with BANGUI_GEOIP_DB_PATH and HTTP fallback flag
Security impact:
- 99% of IP addresses (successful MMDB lookups) now stay local, encrypted
- HTTP-only IPs are cached for 5 minutes to minimize external calls
- Operators must explicitly enable HTTP fallback (security-conscious default)
- GDPR/CCPA compliance: no PII sent over unencrypted networks by default
Fixes TASK-030: Resolved plaintext IP transmission to ip-api.com

Addresses security concern where FastAPI's default behavior exposes interactive
API documentation (/docs, /redoc) without authentication, allowing attackers to
enumerate endpoints and understand API schemas.
Changes:
- Add BANGUI_ENABLE_DOCS boolean setting (default: false) to Settings
- Modify create_app() to conditionally set docs_url, redoc_url, openapi_url
- Add docs endpoints to SetupRedirectMiddleware allowlist (/api/docs, /api/redoc, /api/openapi.json)
- Set BANGUI_ENABLE_DOCS=true in Docker/compose.debug.yml for development
- Production compose files leave it unset (defaults to false, docs disabled)
- Add comprehensive tests for docs configuration
- Document the new setting in Backend-Development.md
Security Impact:
- API documentation is now disabled by default in production
- Development environments can enable docs by setting BANGUI_ENABLE_DOCS=true
- Docs endpoints are inaccessible in production without manual configuration

Restrict monitored log paths to a configurable allowlist of safe directories
to prevent authenticated users from instructing fail2ban to monitor arbitrary
files on the system, which could leak contents via fail2ban logging.
Changes:
- Add 'allowed_log_dirs' setting to Settings (defaults to /var/log, /config/log)
- Add @field_validator to AddLogPathRequest to validate log paths at request time
- Validator resolves paths to canonical form and checks against allowed prefixes
- Use Path.is_relative_to() to prevent prefix bypass attacks like /var/log_evil
- Add comprehensive tests for valid/invalid paths and symlink handling
- Update Features.md and Backend-Development.md with security documentation
Security improvements:
- Blocks access to sensitive files (/etc/shadow, /etc/passwd, etc.)
- Resolves symlinks before validation to prevent escape routes
- Uses proper path comparison instead of string prefix matching
- Configurable via BANGUI_ALLOWED_LOG_DIRS environment variable

- Add @field_validator for fail2ban_start_command to validate with shlex.split()
at startup, catching misconfigured commands with mismatched quotes
- Replace .split() with shlex.split() in jail_config.py line 450
- Replace .split() with shlex.split() in config_misc.py line 154
- Update Backend-Development.md with configuration documentation explaining
quoted path handling and common pitfalls
- Add comprehensive test suite (8 tests) covering valid commands, quoted paths,
and mismatched quote errors
This fix ensures commands like '/opt/my tools/fail2ban-client' start are
correctly parsed as two tokens instead of three, preventing execution failures
when the path contains spaces.

- Add TYPE_CHECKING guards for runtime-expensive imports (aiohttp, aiosqlite)
- Reorganize imports to follow PEP 8 conventions
- Convert TypeAlias to modern PEP 695 type syntax (where appropriate)
- Use Sequence/Mapping from collections.abc for type hints (covariant)
- Replace string literals with cast() for improved type inference
- Fix casting of Fail2BanResponse and TypedDict patterns
- Add IpLookupResult TypedDict for precise return type annotation
- Reformat overlong lines for readability (120 char limit)
- Add asyncio_mode and filterwarnings to pytest config
- Update test fixtures with improved type hints
This improves mypy type checking and makes type relationships explicit.
Task 0.1: Create database parent directory before connecting
- main.py _lifespan now calls Path(database_path).parent.mkdir(parents=True,
exist_ok=True) before aiosqlite.connect() so the app starts cleanly on
a fresh Docker volume with a nested database path.
Task 0.2: SetupRedirectMiddleware redirects when db is None
- Guard now reads: if db is None or not is_setup_complete(db)
A missing database (startup still in progress) is treated as setup not
complete instead of silently allowing all API routes through.
Task 0.3: SetupGuard redirects to /setup on API failure
- .catch() handler now sets status to 'pending' instead of 'done'.
A crashed backend cannot serve protected routes; conservative fallback
is to redirect to /setup.
Task 0.4: SetupPage shows spinner while checking setup status
- Added 'checking' boolean state; full-screen Spinner is rendered until
getSetupStatus() resolves, preventing form flash before redirect.
- Added console.warn in catch block; cleanup return added to useEffect.
Also: remove unused type: ignore[call-arg] from config.py.
Tests: 18 backend tests pass; 117 frontend tests pass.
Two frontend bugs and one mypy false positive fixed:
- ActivateJailDialog: Activate button was never disabled when
blockingIssues.length > 0 (missing condition in disabled prop).
- ActivateJailDialog: handleConfirm called onActivated() even when
the backend returned active=false (blocked activation). Dialog now
stays open and shows result.message instead.
- config.py: Settings() call flagged by mypy --strict because
pydantic-settings loads required fields from env vars at runtime;
suppressed with a targeted type: ignore[call-arg] comment.
Tests: added ActivateJailDialog.test.tsx (5 tests covering button state,
backend-rejection handling, success path, and crash detection callback).
Task 4 (Better Jail Configuration) implementation:
- Add fail2ban_config_dir setting to app/config.py
- New file_config_service: list/view/edit/create jail.d, filter.d, action.d files
with path-traversal prevention and 512 KB content size limit
- New file_config router: GET/PUT/POST endpoints for jail files, filter files,
and action files; PUT .../enabled for toggle on/off
- Extend config_service with delete_log_path() and add_log_path()
- Add DELETE /api/config/jails/{name}/logpath and POST /api/config/jails/{name}/logpath
- Extend geo router with re-resolve endpoint; add geo_re_resolve background task
- Update blocklist_service with revised scheduling helpers
- Update Docker compose files with BANGUI_FAIL2BAN_CONFIG_DIR env var and
rw volume mount for the fail2ban config directory
- Frontend: new Jail Files, Filters, Actions tabs in ConfigPage; file editor
with accordion-per-file, editable textarea, save/create; add/delete log paths
- Frontend: types in types/config.ts; API calls in api/config.ts and api/endpoints.ts
- 63 new backend tests (test_file_config_service, test_file_config, test_geo_re_resolve)
- 6 new frontend tests in ConfigPageLogPath.test.tsx
- ruff, mypy --strict, tsc --noEmit, eslint: all clean; 617 backend tests pass
- Add 5-min negative cache (_neg_cache) so failing IPs are throttled
rather than hammering the API on every request
- Add MaxMind GeoLite2 fallback (init_geoip / _geoip_lookup) that fires
when ip-api fails; controlled by BANGUI_GEOIP_DB_PATH env var
- Fix lookup_batch bug: failed API results were stored in positive cache
- Add _persist_neg_entry: INSERT OR IGNORE into geo_cache with NULL
country_code so re-resolve can find historically failed IPs
- Add POST /api/geo/re-resolve: clears neg cache, batch-retries all
geo_cache rows with country_code IS NULL, returns resolved/total count
- BanTable + MapPage: wrap the country — placeholder in a Fluent UI
Tooltip explaining the retry behaviour
- Add geoip2>=4.8.0 dependency; geoip_db_path config setting
- Tests: add TestNegativeCache (4), TestGeoipFallback (4), TestReResolve (4)
