Extract jail, filter, and action configuration management into separate
domain-focused service modules:
- jail_config_service.py: Jail activation, deactivation, validation, rollback
- filter_config_service.py: Filter discovery, CRUD, assignment to jails
- action_config_service.py: Action discovery, CRUD, assignment to jails
Benefits:
- Reduces monolithic 3100-line module into three focused modules
- Improves readability and maintainability per domain
- Clearer separation of concerns following single responsibility principle
- Easier to test domain-specific functionality in isolation
- Reduces coupling - each service only depends on its needed utilities
Changes:
- Create three new service modules under backend/app/services/
- Update backend/app/routers/config.py to import from new modules
- Update exception and function imports to source from appropriate service
- Update Architecture.md to reflect new service organization
- All existing tests continue to pass with new module structure
Relates to Task 4 of refactoring backlog in Docs/Tasks.md
Task 2: rename 'Failures:' label to 'Failed Attempts:' and update tooltip
to 'Total failed authentication attempts currently tracked by fail2ban
across all active jails' — more accurate than 'Currently failing IPs'.
Task 3: move <ServerHealthSection /> to the top of ServerTab so users
see connectivity status before scrolling through all settings fields.
- Inject __APP_VERSION__ at build time via vite.config.ts define (reads
frontend/package.json#version); declare the global in vite-env.d.ts.
- Render 'BanGUI v{__APP_VERSION__}' in the sidebar footer (MainLayout)
when expanded; hidden when collapsed.
- Rename fail2ban version tooltip to 'fail2ban daemon version' in
ServerStatusBar so it is visually distinct from the app version.
- Sync frontend/package.json version (0.9.0 → 0.9.3) to match
Docker/VERSION; update release.sh to keep them in sync on every bump.
- Add vitest define stub for __APP_VERSION__ so tests compile cleanly.
- Add ServerStatusBar and MainLayout test suites (10 new test cases).
On startup BanGUI now verifies that the four fail2ban jail config files
required by its two custom jails (manual-Jail and blocklist-import) are
present in `$fail2ban_config_dir/jail.d`. Any missing file is created
with the correct default content; existing files are never overwritten.
Files managed:
- manual-Jail.conf (enabled=false template)
- manual-Jail.local (enabled=true override)
- blocklist-import.conf (enabled=false template)
- blocklist-import.local (enabled=true override)
The check runs in the lifespan hook immediately after logging is
configured, before the database is opened.
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.
Rename GET/PUT /api/config/actions/{name} to /actions/{name}/raw in
file_config.py to eliminate the route-shadowing conflict with config.py,
which registers its own GET /actions/{name} returning ActionConfig.
Add configActionRaw endpoint helper in endpoints.ts and update
fetchActionFile/updateActionFile in config.ts to use it. Add
TestGetActionFileRaw and TestUpdateActionFileRaw test classes.
- Replace vague 'System Recovered' message with 'Configuration Rolled Back'
and actionable text describing the rollback outcome
- Replace 'Manual Intervention Required' with 'Rollback Unsuccessful' and
specific instructions: check jail.d/{name}.local, fix manually, restart
- Add test_activate_jail_rollback_deletes_file_when_no_prior_local to cover
rollback path when no .local file existed before activation
- Mark all three tasks complete in Tasks.md
- jail_service.restart(): replace invalid ["restart"] socket command with
["stop"], matching fail2ban transmitter protocol. The daemon is now
stopped via socket; the caller starts it via subprocess.
- config_file_service: expose _start_daemon and _wait_for_fail2ban as
public start_daemon / wait_for_fail2ban functions.
- restart_fail2ban router: orchestrate stop (socket) → start (subprocess)
→ probe (socket). Returns 204 on success, 503 when fail2ban does not
come back within 10 s. Catches JailOperationError → 409.
- reload_fail2ban router: add JailOperationError catch → 409 Conflict,
consistent with other jail control endpoints.
- Tests: add TestJailControls.test_restart_* (3 cases), TestReloadFail2ban
502/409 cases, TestRestartFail2ban (5 cases), TestRollbackJail (6
integration tests verifying file-write, subprocess invocation, socket-
probe truthiness, active_jails count, and offline-at-call-time).
The container init script (init-fail2ban-config) copies jail.conf from the
image's /defaults/ on every start, overwriting any direct edits. The correct
fix is jail.local, which is not present in the image defaults and therefore
persists across restarts.
Changes:
- Add Docker/fail2ban-dev-config/fail2ban/jail.local with [DEFAULT] overrides
for banaction = iptables-multiport and banaction_allports = iptables-allports.
fail2ban loads jail.local after jail.conf so these values are available to
all jails during %(action_)s interpolation.
- Untrack jail.local from .gitignore so it is committed to the repo.
- Fix TypeError in config_file_service: except jail_service.JailNotFoundError
failed when jail_service was mocked in tests because MagicMock attributes are
not BaseException subclasses. Import JailNotFoundError directly instead.
- Mark BUG-001 as Done in Tasks.md.
This commit implements fixes for three independent bugs in the fail2ban configuration and integration layer:
1. Task 1: Detect UnknownJailException and prevent silent failures
- Added JailNotFoundError detection in jail_service.reload_all()
- Enhanced error handling in config_file_service to catch JailNotFoundError
- Added specific error message with logpath validation hints
- Added rollback test for this scenario
2. Task 2: Fix iptables-allports exit code 4 (xtables lock contention)
- Added global banaction setting in jail.conf with -w 5 lockingopt
- Removed redundant per-jail banaction overrides from bangui-sim and blocklist-import
- Added production compose documentation note
3. Task 3: Suppress log noise from unsupported backend/idle commands
- Implemented capability detection to cache command support status
- Double-check locking to minimize lock contention
- Avoids sending unsupported get <jail> backend/idle commands
- Returns default values without socket calls when unsupported
All changes include comprehensive tests and maintain backward compatibility.
Global tab provided the same four editable fields as Server tab:
log_level, log_target, db_purge_age, db_max_matches. Server tab already
has these fields plus additional read-only info (db_path, syslog_socket)
and a Flush Logs button.
- Add hint text to DB Purge Age and DB Max Matches fields in ServerTab
- Remove GlobalTab component import from ConfigPage
- Remove 'global' from TabValue type
- Remove Global tab element from TabList
- Remove conditional render for GlobalTab
- Remove GlobalTab from barrel export (index.ts)
- Delete GlobalTab.tsx file
- Update ConfigPage test to remove Global tab test case
All 123 frontend tests pass.
Task 1: Move Configuration to last position in sidebar NAV_ITEMS
Task 2: Add automatic rollback when jail activation fails
- Back up .local override file before writing
- Restore original file (or delete) on reload failure, health-check
failure, or jail not appearing post-reload
- Return recovered=True/False in JailActivationResponse
- Show warning/critical banner in ActivateJailDialog based on recovery
- Add _restore_local_file_sync and _rollback_activation_async helpers
- Add 3 new tests: rollback on reload failure, health-check failure,
and double failure (recovered=False)
Task 3: Color pie chart legend labels to match their slice color
- legendFormatter now returns ReactNode with span style={{ color }}
- Import LegendPayload from recharts/types/component/DefaultLegendContent
Implements the missing UI control for POST /api/jails/{name}/ignoreself:
- Add jailIgnoreSelf endpoint constant to endpoints.ts
- Add toggleIgnoreSelf(name, on) API function to jails.ts
- Expose toggleIgnoreSelf action from useJailDetail hook
- Replace read-only 'ignore self' badge with a Fluent Switch in
IgnoreListSection to allow enabling/disabling the flag per jail
- Add 5 vitest tests for checked/unchecked state and toggle behaviour
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).
After deactivation the endpoint now calls _run_probe to flush the
cached server status immediately, matching the activate_jail behaviour
added in Task 5. Without this, the dashboard active-jail count could
remain stale for up to 30 s after a deactivation reload.
- config.py: capture result, await _run_probe, return result
- test_config.py: add test_deactivate_triggers_health_probe; fix 3
pre-existing UP017 ruff warnings (datetime.UTC alias)
- test_health.py: update test to assert the new fail2ban field
Task 2: adds a new Log tab to the Configuration page.
Backend:
- New Pydantic models: Fail2BanLogResponse, ServiceStatusResponse
(backend/app/models/config.py)
- New service methods in config_service.py:
read_fail2ban_log() — queries socket for log target/level, validates the
resolved path against a safe-prefix allowlist (/var/log) to prevent
path traversal, then reads the tail of the file via the existing
_read_tail_lines() helper; optional substring filter applied server-side.
get_service_status() — delegates to health_service.probe() and appends
log level/target from the socket.
- New endpoints in routers/config.py:
GET /api/config/fail2ban-log?lines=200&filter=...
GET /api/config/service-status
Both require authentication; log endpoint returns 400 for non-file log
targets or path-traversal attempts, 502 when fail2ban is unreachable.
Frontend:
- New LogTab.tsx component:
Service Health panel (Running/Offline badge, version, jail count, bans,
failures, log level/target, offline warning banner).
Log viewer with color-coded lines (error=red, warning=yellow,
debug=grey), toolbar (filter input + debounce, lines selector, manual
refresh, auto-refresh with interval selector), truncation notice, and
auto-scroll to bottom on data updates.
fetchData uses Promise.allSettled so a log-read failure never hides the
service-health panel.
- Types: Fail2BanLogResponse, ServiceStatusResponse (types/config.ts)
- API functions: fetchFail2BanLog, fetchServiceStatus (api/config.ts)
- Endpoint constants (api/endpoints.ts)
- ConfigPage.tsx: Log tab added after existing tabs
Tests:
- Backend service tests: TestReadFail2BanLog (6), TestGetServiceStatus (2)
- Backend router tests: TestGetFail2BanLog (8), TestGetServiceStatus (3)
- Frontend: LogTab.test.tsx (8 tests)
Docs:
- Features.md: Log section added under Configuration View
- Architekture.md: config.py router and config_service.py descriptions updated
- Tasks.md: Task 2 marked done
The Jail page is now a pure operational view showing only jails that
fail2ban reports as active. The backend GET /api/jails already queried
only the fail2ban socket status command, so no backend changes were
needed.
Frontend changes:
- Remove Inactive Jails table, Show-inactive toggle, and all related
state (showInactive, inactiveJails, activateTarget)
- Remove fetchInactiveJails() call and loadInactive/handleActivated
callbacks
- Remove ActivateJailDialog import and usage
- Remove unused imports: useCallback, useEffect, Switch, InactiveJail
Inactive-jail discovery and activation remain fully functional via the
Configuration page Jails tab (JailsTab.tsx) — unchanged.
Stage 1.1-1.3: reload_all include/exclude_jails params already implemented;
added keyword-arg assertions in router and service tests.
Stage 2.1/6.1: _send_command_sync retry loop (3 attempts, 150ms exp backoff)
retrying on EAGAIN/ECONNREFUSED/ENOBUFS; immediate raise on all other errors.
Stage 2.2: asyncio.Lock at module level in jail_service.reload_all to
serialize concurrent reload--all commands.
Stage 3.1: activate_jail re-queries _get_active_jail_names after reload;
returns active=False with descriptive message if jail did not start.
Stage 4.1/6.2: asyncio.Semaphore (max 10) in Fail2BanClient.send, lazy-
initialized; logs fail2ban_command_waiting_semaphore at debug when waiting.
Stage 5.1/5.2: unit tests asserting reload_all is called with include_jails
and exclude_jails; activation verification happy/sad path tests.
Stage 6.3: TestSendCommandSyncRetry (5 cases) + TestFail2BanClientSemaphore
concurrency test.
Stage 7.1-7.3: _since_unix uses time.time(); bans_by_jail debug logging with
since_iso; diagnostic warning when total==0 despite table rows; unit test
verifying the warning fires for stale data.
Add alignItems: "end" to the fieldRow grid style so that all grid
cells align their content to the bottom edge of the row. This ensures
the DNS Mode <Select> and the Date Pattern <Combobox> sit on the same
horizontal baseline even though Date Pattern carries a hint line that
makes it taller.
All other fieldRow usages have consistent hint presence across their
fields, so no visual regressions are introduced.
Task 1: Backend/LogEncoding/DatePattern dropdowns in JailConfigDetail
- Added BACKENDS, LOG_ENCODINGS, DATE_PATTERN_PRESETS constants
- Backend and Log Encoding: <Input readOnly> → <Select> (editable, auto-saves)
- Date Pattern: <Input> → <Combobox freeform> with presets
- Extended JailConfigUpdate model (backend, log_encoding) and service
- Added readOnly prop to JailConfigDetail (all fields, toggles, buttons)
- Extended RegexList with readOnly prop
Task 2: Fix raw action/filter config always blank
- Added key={selectedAction.name} to ActionDetail in ActionsTab
- Added key={selectedFilter.name} to FilterDetail in FiltersTab
Task 3: Inactive jail full GUI same as active jails
- Extended InactiveJail Pydantic model with all config fields
- Added _parse_time_to_seconds helper to config_file_service
- Updated _build_inactive_jail to populate all extended fields
- Extended InactiveJail TypeScript type to match
- Rewrote InactiveJailDetail to reuse JailConfigDetail (readOnly=true)
Task 4: Fix banaction interpolation error when activating jails
- _write_local_override_sync now includes banaction=iptables-multiport
and banaction_allports=iptables-allports in every .local file
- Remove Export tab and all its imports from ConfigPage.tsx
- Remove Refresh and Reload fail2ban buttons from JailsTab; clean up
associated state (reloading, reloadMsg, deactivating) and handlers
- Add Create Config button to Jails tab list pane (listHeader pattern);
create CreateJailDialog component that calls createJailConfigFile API
- Remove Active/Inactive and 'Has local override' badges from FilterDetail
and ActionDetail; remove now-unused Badge imports
- Replace read-only log path spans with editable Input fields in JailConfigDetail
- Export CreateJailDialog from components/config/index.ts
- Mark all 5 tasks done in Docs/Tasks.md
- Rewrite FiltersTab: use fetchFilters() for FilterConfig[] with embedded active
status; show 'Active — sshd, apache-auth' badge labels; FilterDetail sub-
component with source_file/override badges, FilterForm, Assign button, raw
config section
- New AssignFilterDialog: selects jail from enabled-jails list, calls
POST /config/jails/{name}/filter with optional fail2ban reload
- New CreateFilterDialog: name+failregex+ignoreregex form, calls
POST /config/filters, closes and selects new filter on success
- Extend ConfigListDetail: add listHeader (for Create button) and
itemBadgeLabel (for custom badge text) optional props
- Fix updateFilterFile bug: was PUT /config/filters/{name} (structured
endpoint), now correctly PUT /config/filters/{name}/raw
- Fix createFilterFile bug: was POST /config/filters, now POST /config/filters/raw
- Add updateFilter, createFilter, deleteFilter, assignFilterToJail to api/config.ts
- Add FilterUpdateRequest, FilterCreateRequest, AssignFilterRequest to types/config.ts

- Tests: 24 new tests across FiltersTab, AssignFilterDialog, CreateFilterDialog
(all 89 frontend tests passing)
- PUT /api/config/filters/{name}: updates failregex/ignoreregex/datepattern/
journalmatch in filter.d/{name}.local; validates regex via re.compile();
supports ?reload=true
- POST /api/config/filters: creates filter.d/{name}.local from FilterCreateRequest;
returns 409 if file already exists
- DELETE /api/config/filters/{name}: deletes .local only; returns 409 for
conf-only (readonly) filters
- POST /api/config/jails/{name}/filter: assigns filter to jail by writing
'filter = {name}' to jail.d/{jail}.local; supports ?reload=true
- New models: FilterUpdateRequest, FilterCreateRequest, AssignFilterRequest
- New service helpers: _safe_filter_name, _validate_regex_patterns,
_write_filter_local_sync, _set_jail_local_key_sync
- Fixed .local-only filter discovery in _parse_filters_sync (5-tuple return)
- Fixed get_filter extension stripping (.local is 6 chars not 5)
- Renamed file_config.py raw-write routes to /raw suffix
(PUT /filters/{name}/raw, POST /filters/raw) to avoid routing conflicts
- Full service + router tests; all 930 tests pass
