nixos/panel/API.md
agent a3c730e1db Move all services from srazka.com to reudy.net
Renames every domain in the config: Caddy virtual hosts (auth, hello,
nextcloud, git, panel), the ACME contact email, Authelia's session cookie
domain / portal URL / default redirect and TOTP issuer, Nextcloud's
hostName and overwritehost, and Forgejo's DOMAIN (ROOT_URL and ssh clone
URLs follow from it; the panel picks them up via panel.nix). Panel docs and
examples updated too, and a README paragraph that had run together is
split again.

Requires DNS for auth/hello/nextcloud/git/panel.reudy.net (or a
*.reudy.net wildcard) pointing at the server before deploying.

# panel-api
HTTP API wrapper around panelctl with a web UI.
Default bind: `127.0.0.1:9911`
## Endpoints
### Health & UI
| Method | Path | Description |
|--------|------|-------------|
| GET | `/` | Web UI (served from `frontend/index.html`) |
| GET | `/health` | Health check |
| GET | `/status` | All apps with routes, container status and running operation (what the UI polls) |
| GET | `/integrations` | Forgejo connection (`configured`, `url`, `has_token`, `user`) and the SSH deploy public key |
| POST | `/integrations/forgejo` | `{"token": "..."}` — verify against Forgejo and store; `""` disconnects |
| GET | `/forgejo/repos?q=` | Search repositories visible to the stored token (public ones without) |
| GET | `/forgejo/branches?repo=owner/name` | Branch names of a Forgejo repository |
### Apps — Read
| Method | Path | Description |
|--------|------|-------------|
| GET | `/apps` | List all apps |
| GET | `/apps/<name>` | Show single app manifest |
| GET | `/apps/<name>/routes` | Get parsed route entries |
| GET | `/apps/<name>/status` | Container status (running/stopped) |
| GET | `/apps/<name>/compose` | Read compose.yaml content |
| GET | `/apps/<name>/logs?tail=N` | Fetch last N log lines (default 100) |
| GET | `/apps/<name>/backups` | List available backups |
| GET | `/apps/<name>/backups/<file>` | Download backup zip |
| GET | `/apps/<name>/env` | Environment variables: `{"vars": [{"key", "value"}], "inject": true}` |
| GET | `/apps/<name>/repo` | Git source info (URL, web URL, provider, branch, deployed commit, local changes, deploy key for ssh) |
| GET | `/apps/<name>/repo?fetch=1` | Same, plus fetches the remote and reports `behind` / `remote` |
| GET | `/apps/<name>/volumes` | Volumes the file browser can open |
| GET | `/apps/<name>/volume/files?vol=&path=` | List a folder in a volume |
| GET | `/apps/<name>/volume/download?vol=&path=` | Download a file from a volume |
| PUT | `/apps/<name>/volume/files?vol=&path=` | Upload a file (raw body) |
| DELETE | `/apps/<name>/volume/files?vol=&path=` | Delete a file or folder |
### Apps — Write
| Method | Path | Description |
|--------|------|-------------|
| POST | `/apps/init` | Create a new app |
| POST | `/apps/<name>/routes` | Update routes (hot — Caddy reloads automatically) |
| POST | `/apps/<name>/deploy` | Deploy (compose up + caddy reload) |
| POST | `/apps/<name>/restart` | Restart (compose down + up) |
| POST | `/apps/<name>/stop` | Stop (compose down) |
| POST | `/apps/<name>/render-route` | Re-render Caddy route |
| POST | `/apps/<name>/compose` | Save compose.yaml content |
| POST | `/apps/<name>/validate-compose` | Validate compose file |
| POST | `/apps/<name>/backup` | Create volume backup (zip) |
| POST | `/apps/<name>/restore` | Restore from backup |
| POST | `/apps/<name>/remove` | Remove app |
| POST | `/apps/<name>/repo-pull` | Git apps: fetch branch, hard-reset checkout to it, redeploy |
| POST | `/apps/<name>/env` | Replace environment variables: `{"vars": [...], "inject": true, "deploy": false}` |
| POST | `/apps/<name>/volume-clear` | Stop the app and empty its default data folder |
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.reudy.net", "upstream": "127.0.0.1:18090"}],
"auth": true,
"source_type": "git",
"repo_url": "https://git.reudy.net/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.reudy.net", "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`.
## Example payloads
### Create app (single route)
```json
{
"name": "whoami",
"routes": [
{"domain": "whoami.reudy.net", "upstream": "127.0.0.1:18080"}
],
"auth": true
}
```
### Create app (multiple routes, different ports)
```json
{
"name": "myapp",
"routes": [
{"domain": "app.reudy.net", "upstream": "127.0.0.1:18080"},
{"domain": "api.app.reudy.net", "upstream": "127.0.0.1:18081"}
],
"auth": true
}
```
### Create app (multiple routes, different ports, with paths)
```json
{
"name": "pocketbase",
"routes": [
{"domain": "pb.reudy.net", "upstream": "127.0.0.1:8090", "path": "/_/*"}
],
"auth": true
}
```
The `path` field is optional. When present, it generates a Caddy `reverse_proxy /_/* 127.0.0.1:8090` rule, letting you route requests to a specific path prefix within a domain.
### Create app (wildcard domain)
```json
{
"name": "wildcard",
"routes": [
{"domain": "*.reudy.net", "upstream": "127.0.0.1:18082"}
],
"auth": false
}
```
Note: Wildcard domains require DNS challenge configuration in Caddy.
### Update routes (hot)
```json
{
"routes": [
{"domain": "app.reudy.net", "upstream": "127.0.0.1:18080"},
{"domain": "api.reudy.net", "upstream": "127.0.0.1:18081"},
{"domain": "pb.reudy.net", "upstream": "127.0.0.1:8090", "path": "/_/*"}
]
}
```
The optional `path` field generates a Caddy `reverse_proxy <path> <upstream>` rule for sub-path routing.
Caddy reloads automatically via the systemd path watcher. Containers stay running.
### Save compose
```json
{
"content": "services:\n app:\n image: nginx:latest\n ports:\n - '127.0.0.1:18080:80'\n"
}
```
### Remove and keep volumes
```json
{
"keepVolumes": true
}
```
### Restore from backup
```json
{
"file": "whoami-20260101-120000.zip"
}
```
## Routes response
```json
{
"ok": true,
"name": "myapp",
"routes": [
{"domain": "app.reudy.net", "upstream": "127.0.0.1:18080"},
{"domain": "api.reudy.net", "upstream": "127.0.0.1:18081", "path": "/api/*"}
]
}
```
The `path` field is only present when a route has a path configured.
## Response format
All JSON responses include an `ok` boolean:
```json
{
"ok": true,
"apps": [...]
}
```
Error responses:
```json
{
"ok": false,
"error": "description",
"stderr": "panelctl error output"
}
```
## Status response
```json
{
"ok": true,
"name": "whoami",
"running": true,
"containers": [
{
"name": "whoami-app-1",
"state": "running",
"image": "docker.io/traefik/whoami:latest"
}
]
}
```
