# puppy-tracker

A tiny offline-first PWA for tracking your puppy's sleep, meals, pees, poos, and
weight.
The browser is the primary client; a small Go server provides a shared
source-of-truth and sync between devices.

## How sync works

- Each event has a UUID and an `updatedAt` timestamp.
- Mutations (add / edit / delete) happen against `localStorage` first, so the
  app keeps working when offline. Deletes are recorded as tombstones so they
  can propagate.
- On app load, on `online`, on every mutation (debounced), and every 60 s, the
  client POSTs its full event list to `/api/events/sync`. The server merges
  it with its own copy using last-write-wins on `updatedAt` and returns the
  merged set.
- The server keeps its copy in a SQLite database (`puppy.db`); events and the
  shared profile are separate tables, and last-write-wins is enforced by the
  upsert itself. On first start it auto-imports any legacy `events.json` /
  `config.json` sitting alongside it, renaming them to `*.imported`.
- Service worker bypasses cache for `/api/*` so writes always hit the server
  when online; static assets are still cached for offline use.
- The puppy's name and birthday are a per-account profile stored on the host
  (`GET`/`PUT /api/config`), so a new device picks them up automatically instead
  of being configured per-client. The client caches the last-seen values in
  `localStorage` for offline/instant paint and reconciles with the server by
  last-write-wins on `updatedAt`. The age shown in the header (in weeks and
  months) is derived from the birthday.
- All data is scoped to the signed-in account (see [Accounts](#accounts)): every
  event, profile and photo carries a `user_id`, and `localStorage` is namespaced
  per user so two accounts on one browser never mix.

A status pill in the header shows `syncing…` / `synced 2m ago` / `pending` /
`sync error` / `offline`. Tap it to force-sync.

## Run locally

```sh
nix run                       # http://localhost:8080, data in $XDG_DATA_HOME/puppy-tracker
PUPPY_ADDR=:9000 nix run      # custom port

# Registration needs an invite code (see Accounts). Set it in the environment:
PUPPY_INVITE_CODE=letmein nix run

# Hot-iterate (data in /tmp):
nix develop -c sh -c 'cd server && go run . -static ../src -data /tmp/puppy.db -invite-code letmein'
```

## Accounts

The app is multi-tenant: each person signs in and sees only their own puppy's
events, profile and photos.

- **Sessions.** Passwords are hashed with bcrypt; login mints a random session
  token stored (hashed) in the `sessions` table and set as an `HttpOnly` cookie.
  `/api/*` (except `login`/`register`/`logout`) requires a valid session.
- **Registration is invite-gated.** Sign-up requires the shared secret passed via
  `-invite-code` / `PUPPY_INVITE_CODE`. With no code set, registration is
  disabled (existing accounts can still log in). Share the code with whoever you
  want to give an account.
- **First account adopts existing data.** When accounts are introduced on a DB
  that already had single-tenant data (or that imported a legacy `events.json`),
  the first account to register inherits all of it — events, profile and photos.
- **Serve over HTTPS in production.** Session cookies are only marked `Secure`
  when you pass `-secure-cookies` (enable it behind a TLS proxy), so passwords
  aren't sent in the clear.

## Use it on NixOS

In your system flake:

```nix
{
  inputs.puppy-tracker.url = "path:/path/to/puppy-tracker";

  outputs = { self, nixpkgs, puppy-tracker, ... }: {
    nixosConfigurations.my-host = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
      system = "x86_64-linux";
      modules = [
        puppy-tracker.nixosModules.default
        {
          services.puppy-tracker = {
            enable = true;
            port = 8080;
            openFirewall = true;
            # Registration secret, kept out of the Nix store. The file holds:
            #   PUPPY_INVITE_CODE=some-shared-secret
            inviteCodeFile = "/run/secrets/puppy-invite-code";
            # Enable once you terminate TLS in front of the service.
            secureCookies = false;
          };
        }
      ];
    };
  };
}
```

The server runs as a `DynamicUser` systemd unit. Data is stored in a SQLite
database at `/var/lib/puppy-tracker/puppy.db` via `StateDirectory` (with photos
alongside it under `photos/`).

## Notes

- Accounts gate access, but there is no built-in TLS. If exposing publicly,
  terminate TLS with a reverse proxy in front (Caddy / nginx / Tailscale Funnel)
  and set `secureCookies = true`. Without HTTPS, passwords and session cookies
  travel in the clear.
