Write operations are serialised per app. While one runs, another write to the
same app returns `409` with `{"ok": false, "error": "...", "busy": "deploy"}`.
`deploy` returns the compose output in `stdout` (or `stderr` on failure).
### Create app (git repository, with environment variables)
```json
{
"name": "blog",
"routes": [{"domain": "blog.srazka.com", "upstream": "127.0.0.1:18090"}],
"auth": true,
"source_type": "git",
"repo_url": "https://git.srazka.com/reudy-net/blog.git",
"repo_branch": "",
"use_forgejo_token": true,
"env": [{"key": "DATABASE_URL", "value": "postgres://..."}],
"env_inject": true
}
```
- `repo_url` may be `https://…`, `ssh://git@host:port/owner/repo.git` or
`git@host:owner/repo.git`. ssh URLs use the panel's deploy key.
- `repo_token` sets an https token explicitly; `use_forgejo_token` uses the
token stored in Settings (only for URLs on the configured Forgejo host).
- An empty branch uses the repository's default branch. The compose file must
be at the repository root.
- The older `source_type: "github"` with `github_url` / `github_branch` /
`github_pat` is still accepted.
### Sync response (`repo-pull`)
```json
{
"ok": true,
"stdout": "HEAD is now at d7df557 Bump image tag\n...compose output...",
"before": {"sha": "4fb7976...", "short": "4fb7976", "subject": "Initial compose", "author": "reudy", "time": 1790460618},
"after": {"sha": "d7df557...", "short": "d7df557", "subject": "Bump image tag", "author": "reudy", "time": 1790460643},
"changed": true
}
```
### Status response (`/status`)
```json
{
"ok": true,
"time": 1790460650,
"apps": [
{
"name": "whoami",
"routes": [{"domain": "whoami.srazka.com", "upstream": "127.0.0.1:18080"}],
"auth": true,
"compose_file": "/var/lib/containers/stacks/whoami/compose.yaml",
"repo_url": "",
"repo_branch": "",
"busy": null,
"status": {
"state": "running",
"running": true,
"running_count": 1,
"total": 1,
"containers": [{"name": "whoami-app-1", "state": "running", "status": "Up 3 minutes", "image": "docker.io/traefik/whoami:latest", "running": true}]
}
}
]
}
```
`state` is one of `running`, `partial` (some containers down), `stopped` or `unknown`.

### Web UI features
- Create apps with multiple domains and wildcard support
- Live container status indicators (auto-refreshes)
- Deploy, restart, stop, remove from the UI
- Inline compose editor with save, validate, and save+deploy
- Log viewer with configurable tail length
- Volume backup management: create, list, download, restore
- Live status: one `/status` poll every few seconds (faster while something is
running, paused when the tab is hidden) updates cards in place, so open tabs,
unsaved edits and scroll positions are never lost. The header shows when the
panel last synced and warns when the Authelia session has expired.
- Per-app status (running / partial / stopped), container list, and a busy
indicator that is shared between browsers while an operation runs.
- New-app dialog: starter container, pasted compose file or git repository;
suggests the next free port and a domain based on the app name.
- Compose editor with unsaved-changes tracking, Ctrl+S, save & deploy, validate.
- Logs with follow mode, routes editor with validation, file browser with
drag-and-drop upload, backups with restore (and optional redeploy).
- Git source tab: deployed commit, "check for updates", and sync & deploy.
- Activity drawer with the output of every operation (e.g. why a deploy failed).
- Keyboard: `/` search, `N` new app, `Esc` closes menus. Deep links like
`#/whoami/logs` open an app on a specific tab.
### Git-backed apps
Apps created from a repository (Forgejo, GitHub or any git host, over https or
ssh) are cloned to `stacks/<app>/repo`.
**Forgejo.** `panel.nix` points the panel at the local Forgejo
(`PANEL_FORGEJO_URL`, `PANEL_FORGEJO_API_URL`, `PANEL_FORGEJO_SSH_URL`, taken
from `forgejo.nix`). In the panel's **Settings** you can connect a Forgejo
access token (read access to repositories and user). With it, the new-app
dialog lists your repositories and branches, and private ones are cloned over
https with the token. Without it, public repositories are listed and private
ones are cloned over ssh with the deploy key. Commit and compare links point at
Forgejo. The token is stored in `state/panel/forgejo-token` (mode 0600).
**SSH / deploy key.** The panel generates an ed25519 key pair in
`state/panel/ssh/` the first time it is needed. Its public half is shown in
Settings (and next to ssh URLs); add it as a read-only deploy key to a
repository — or to your Forgejo account for access to all repositories — to
clone `ssh://git@git.srazka.com:14922/owner/repo.git` style URLs. **Sync** fetches the configured branch and
hard-resets the checkout to it before redeploying, so the repository is the
source of truth: compose edits made in the panel are discarded on the next sync
(the UI warns about this). An access token for a private repository is stored in
the clone's `.git/config`; use a read-only token.
### Environment variables
Each app can have environment variables (the **Environment** tab, or when
creating the app; `.env` text can be pasted in). They are stored in
`state/env/<app>.env` as `KEY=VALUE` lines (mode 0600) — outside the repository
and stack directory, so git syncs never touch them — and `panelctl` passes them
to every compose command:
- They are always available for `${VAR}` interpolation in the compose file.
The UI points out variables the compose file uses without a default that
aren't set.
- With **Pass to every container** (the default), `deploy`/`restart` also
generate `stacks/<app>/.panel-env.yaml`, a compose override that lists the
keys under every service's `environment:`. Compose reads the values from its
own environment, so they are never quoted into YAML, and they take
precedence over values set in the compose file.
Values must be single-line. Names that would change how podman/compose run
(`PATH`, `HOME`, `XDG_*`, `DOCKER_*`, `COMPOSE_*`, `PODMAN_*`, …) are rejected.
Changes apply on the next deploy. Backups do not include variables.
### Concurrency
`panel-api` handles requests concurrently, so a long deploy never blocks status
or logs. Mutating operations are serialised per app — a second operation on a
busy app gets HTTP 409 — and `panelctl` takes a `flock` on the shared routes
file while rewriting it.
