 # ---/Dockerfile---
+# The NetAlertX Dockerfile has 3 stages:
+#
+# Stage 1. Builder - NetAlertX Requires special tools and packages to build our virtual environment, but
+# which are not needed in future stages.  We build the builder and extract the venv for runner to use as 
+# a base.
+#
+# Stage 2. Runner builds the bare minimum requirements to create an operational NetAlertX. The primary
+# reason for breaking at this stage is it leaves the system in a proper state for devcontainer operation
+# This image also provides a break-out point for uses who wish to execute the anti-pattern of using a 
+# docker container as a VM for experimentation and various development patterns.
+#
+# Stage 3. Hardened removes root, sudoers, folders, permissions, and locks the system down into a read-only
+# compatible image. While NetAlertX does require some read-write operations, this image can guarantee the 
+# code pushed out by the project is the only code which will run on the system after each container restart.
+# It reduces the chance of system hijacking and operates with all modern security protocols in place as is
+# expected from a security appliance.
+#
+# This file can be built with `docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up --build --force-recreate`

+# NetAlertX Multi-Folder Workspace
+
+This repository uses a multi-folder workspace configuration to provide easy access to runtime directories.
+
+## Opening the Multi-Folder Workspace
+
+After the devcontainer builds, open the workspace file to access all folders:
+
+1. **File** → **Open Workspace from File**
+2. Select `NetAlertX.code-workspace`
+
+Or use Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P):
+- Type: `Workspaces: Open Workspace from File`
+- Select `NetAlertX.code-workspace`
+
+## Workspace Folders
+
+The workspace includes:
+- **NetAlertX** - Main source code
+- **/tmp** - Runtime temporary files
+- **/tmp/api** - API response cache (JSON files)
+- **/tmp/log** - Application and plugin logs
+
+## Testing Configuration
+
+Pytest is configured to only discover tests in the main `test/` directory, not in `/tmp` folders.

 ## Dev workflow (devcontainer)
+- **Devcontainer philosophy: brutal simplicity.** One user, everything writable, completely idempotent. No permission checks, no conditional logic, no sudo needed. If something doesn't work, tear down the wall and rebuild - don't patch. We unit test permissions in the hardened build.
+- **Permissions:** Never `chmod` or `chown` during operations. Everything is already writable. If you need permissions, the devcontainer setup is broken - fix `.devcontainer/scripts/setup.sh` or `.devcontainer/resources/devcontainer-Dockerfile` instead.
+- **Files & Paths:** Use environment variables (`NETALERTX_DB`, `NETALERTX_LOG`, etc.) everywhere. `/data` for persistent config/db, `/tmp` for runtime logs/api/nginx state. Never hardcode `/data/db` or relative paths.
+- **Database reset:** Use the `[Dev Container] Wipe and Regenerate Database` task. Kills backend, deletes `/data/{db,config}/*`, runs first-time setup scripts. Clean slate, no questions.
 - Services: use tasks to (re)start backend and nginx/PHP-FPM. Backend runs with debugpy on 5678; attach a Python debugger if needed.
 - Run a plugin manually: `python3 front/plugins/<code_name>/script.py` (ensure `sys.path` includes `/app/front/plugins` and `/app/server` like the template).
 - Testing: pytest available via Alpine packages. Tests live in `test/`; app code is under `server/`. PYTHONPATH is preconfigured to include workspace and `/opt/venv` site‑packages.
+- **Subprocess calls:** ALWAYS set explicit timeouts. Default to 60s minimum unless plugin config specifies otherwise. Nested subprocess calls (e.g., plugins calling external tools) need their own timeout - outer plugin timeout won't save you.
 
 ## What “done right” looks like
-- When adding a plugin, start from `front/plugins/__template`, implement with `plugin_helper`, define manifest settings, and wire phase via `<PREF>_RUN`. Verify logs in `/app/log/plugins/` and data in `api/*.json`.
+- When adding a plugin, start from `front/plugins/__template`, implement with `plugin_helper`, define manifest settings, and wire phase via `<PREF>_RUN`. Verify logs in `/tmp/log/plugins/` and data in `api/*.json`.
 - When introducing new config, define it once (core `ccd()` or plugin manifest) and read it via helpers everywhere.
 - When exposing new server functionality, add endpoints in `server/api_server/*` and keep authorization consistent; update UI by reading/writing JSON cache rather than bypassing the pipeline.
 
 ## Useful references
 - Docs: `docs/PLUGINS_DEV.md`, `docs/SETTINGS_SYSTEM.md`, `docs/API_*.md`, `docs/DEBUG_*.md`
-- Logs: backend `/app/log/app.log`, plugin logs under `/app/log/plugins/`, nginx/php logs under `/var/log/*`
+- Logs: All logs are under `/tmp/log/`. Plugin logs are very shortly under `/tmp/log/plugins/` until picked up by the server.
+    - plugin logs: `/tmp/log/app.log`
+	- backend logs: `/tmp/log/stdout.log` and `/tmp/log/stderr.log`
+	- frontend commands logs: `/tmp/log/app_front.log`
+	- php errors: `/tmp/log/app.php_errors.log`
+	- nginx logs: `/tmp/log/nginx-access.log` and `/tmp/log/nginx-error.log`
 
-Assistant expectations
-- Reference concrete files/paths. Use existing helpers/settings. Keep changes idempotent and safe. Offer a quick validation step (log line, API hit, or JSON export) for anything you add.
+## Assistant expectations:
+- Be concise, opinionated, and biased toward security and simplicity.
+- Reference concrete files/paths/environmental variables.
+- Use existing helpers/settings.
+- Offer a quick validation step (log line, API hit, or JSON export) for anything you add.
+- Be blunt about risks and when you offer suggestions ensure they're also blunt,
+- Ask for confirmation before making changes that run code or change multiple files.
+- Make statements actionable and specific; propose exact edits.
+- Request confirmation before applying changes that affect more than a single, clearly scoped line or file.
+- Ask the user to debug something for an actionable value if you're unsure.
+- Be sure to offer choices when appropriate.
+- Always understand the intent of the user's request and undo/redo as needed.
+- Above all, use the simplest possible code that meets the need so it can be easily audited and maintained.

+# The NetAlertX Dockerfile has 3 stages:
+#
+# Stage 1. Builder - NetAlertX Requires special tools and packages to build our virtual environment, but
+# which are not needed in future stages.  We build the builder and extract the venv for runner to use as 
+# a base.
+#
+# Stage 2. Runner builds the bare minimum requirements to create an operational NetAlertX. The primary
+# reason for breaking at this stage is it leaves the system in a proper state for devcontainer operation
+# This image also provides a break-out point for uses who wish to execute the anti-pattern of using a 
+# docker container as a VM for experimentation and various development patterns.
+#
+# Stage 3. Hardened removes root, sudoers, folders, permissions, and locks the system down into a read-only
+# compatible image. While NetAlertX does require some read-write operations, this image can guarantee the 
+# code pushed out by the project is the only code which will run on the system after each container restart.
+# It reduces the chance of system hijacking and operates with all modern security protocols in place as is
+# expected from a security appliance.
+#
+# This file can be built with `docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up --build --force-recreate`

+# Warning - use of this unhardened image is not recommended for production use.
+# This image is provided for backward compatibility, development and testing purposes only.
+# For production use, please use the hardened image built with Alpine. This image attempts to
+# treat a container as an operating system, which is an anti-pattern and a common source of
+# security issues.
+#
+# The default Dockerfile/docker-compose image contains the following security improvements 
+# over the Debian image:
+# - read-only filesystem
+# - no sudo access
+# - least possible permissions on all files and folders
+# - Root user has all permissions revoked and is unused
+# - Secure umask applied so files are owner-only by default
+# - non-privileged user runs the application
+# - no shell access for non-privileged users
+# - no unnecessary packages or services
+# - reduced capabilities
+# - tmpfs for writable folders
+# - healthcheck
+# - no package managers
+# - no compilers or build tools
+# - no systemd, uses lightweight init system
+# - no persistent storage except for config and db volumes
+# - minimal image size due to segmented build stages
+# - minimal base image (Alpine Linux)
+# - minimal python environment (venv, no pip)
+# - minimal stripped web server
+# - minimal stripped php environment 
+# - minimal services (nginx, php-fpm, crond, no unnecessary services or service managers)
+# - minimal users and groups (netalertx and readonly only, no others)
+# - minimal permissions (read-only for most files and folders, write-only for necessary folders)
+# - minimal capabilities (NET_ADMIN and NET_RAW only, no others)
+# - minimal environment variables (only necessary ones, no others)
+# - minimal entrypoint (only necessary commands, no others)
+# - Uses the same base image as the development environmnment (Alpine Linux)
+# - Uses the same services as the development environment (nginx, php-fpm, crond)
+# - Uses the same environment variables as the development environment (only necessary ones, no others)
+# - Uses the same file and folder structure as the development environment (only necessary ones, no others)
+# NetAlertX is designed to be run as an unattended network security monitoring appliance, which means it 
+# should be able to operate without human intervention. Overall, the hardened image is designed to be as 
+# secure as possible while still being functional and is recommended because you cannot attack a surface
+# that isn't there.

 # NetAlertX - Network, presence scanner and alert framework
 
-Get visibility of what's going on on your WIFI/LAN network and enable presence detection of important devices. Schedule scans for devices, port changes and get alerts if unknown devices or changes are found. Write your own [Plugin](https://github.com/jokob-sk/NetAlertX/tree/main/docs/PLUGINS.md#readme) with auto-generated UI and in-build notification system. Build out and easily maintain your network source of truth (NSoT).

-                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
-                       Version 3, 29 June 2007
-
- Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <https://fsf.org/>
- Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
- of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
-
-                            Preamble
-
-  The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
-software and other kinds of works.
-
-  The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
-to take away your freedom to share and change the works.  By contrast,
-the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
-share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
-software for all its users.  We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
-GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
-any other work released this way by its authors.  You can apply it to
-your programs, too.
-
-  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
-price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
-have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
-them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
-want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
-free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
-
-  To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
-these rights or asking you to surrender the rights.  Therefore, you have
-certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
-you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
-
-  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
-gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
-freedoms that you received.  You must make sure that they, too, receive
-or can get the source code.  And you must show them these terms so they
-know their rights.
-
-  Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
-(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
-giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
-
-  For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
-that there is no warranty for this free software.  For both users' and
-authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
-changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
-authors of previous versions.
-
-  Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
-modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
-can do so.  This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
-protecting users' freedom to change the software.  The systematic
-pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
-use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable.  Therefore, we
-have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
-products.  If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
-stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
-of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
-
-  Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
-States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
-software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
-avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
-make it effectively proprietary.  To prevent this, the GPL assures that
-patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
-
-  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
-modification follow.
-
-                       TERMS AND CONDITIONS
-
-  0. Definitions.
-
-  "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
-
-  "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
-works, such as semiconductor masks.
-
-  "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
-License.  Each licensee is addressed as "you".  "Licensees" and
-"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
-
-  To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
-in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
-exact copy.  The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
-earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
-
-  A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
-on the Program.
-
-  To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
-permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
-infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
-computer or modifying a private copy.  Propagation includes copying,
-distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
-public, and in some countries other activities as well.
-
-  To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
-parties to make or receive copies.  Mere interaction with a user through
-a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
-
-  An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
-to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
-feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
-tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
-extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
-work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License.  If
-the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
-menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
-
-  1. Source Code.
-
-  The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
-for making modifications to it.  "Object code" means any non-source
-form of a work.
-
-  A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
-standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
-interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
-is widely used among developers working in that language.
-
-  The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
-than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
-packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
-Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
-Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
-implementation is available to the public in source code form.  A
-"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
-(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
-(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
-produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
-
-  The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
-the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
-work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
-control those activities.  However, it does not include the work's
-System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
-programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
-which are not part of the work.  For example, Corresponding Source
-includes interface definition files associated with source files for
-the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
-linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
-such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
-subprograms and other parts of the work.
-
-  The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
-can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
-Source.
-
-  The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
-same work.
-
-  2. Basic Permissions.
-
-  All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
-copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
-conditions are met.  This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
-permission to run the unmodified Program.  The output from running a
-covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
-content, constitutes a covered work.  This License acknowledges your
-rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
-
-  You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
-convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
-in force.  You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
-of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
-with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
-the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
-not control copyright.  Those thus making or running the covered works
-for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
-and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
-your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
-
-  Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
-the conditions stated below.  Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
-makes it unnecessary.
-
-  3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
-
-  No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
-measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
-11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
-similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
-measures.
-
-  When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
-circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
-is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
-the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
-modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
-users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
-technological measures.
-
-  4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
-
-  You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
-receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
-appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
-keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
-non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
-keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
-recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
-
-  You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
-and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
-
-  5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
-
-  You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
-produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
-terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
-
-    a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
-    it, and giving a relevant date.
-
-    b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
-    released under this License and any conditions added under section
-    7.  This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
-    "keep intact all notices".
-
-    c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
-    License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy.  This
-    License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
-    additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
-    regardless of how they are packaged.  This License gives no
-    permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
-    invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
-
-    d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
-    Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
-    interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
-    work need not make them do so.
-
-  A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
-works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
-and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
-in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
-"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
-used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
-beyond what the individual works permit.  Inclusion of a covered work
-in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
-parts of the aggregate.
-
-  6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
-
-  You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
-of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
-machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
-in one of these ways:
-
-    a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
-    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
-    Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
-    customarily used for software interchange.
-
-    b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
-    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
-    written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
-    long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
-    model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
-    copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
-    product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
-    medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
-    more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
-    conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
-    Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
-
-    c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
-    written offer to provide the Corresponding Source.  This
-    alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
-    only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
-    with subsection 6b.
-
-    d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
-    place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
-    Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
-    further charge.  You need not require recipients to copy the
-    Corresponding Source along with the object code.  If the place to
-    copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
-    may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
-    that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
-    clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
-    Corresponding Source.  Regardless of what server hosts the
-    Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
-    available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
-
-    e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
-    you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
-    Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
-    charge under subsection 6d.
-
-  A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
-from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
-included in conveying the object code work.
-
-  A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
-tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
-or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
-into a dwelling.  In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
-doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage.  For a particular
-product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
-typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
-of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
-actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product.  A product
-is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
-commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
-the only significant mode of use of the product.
-
-  "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
-procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
-and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
-a modified version of its Corresponding Source.  The information must
-suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
-code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
-modification has been made.
-
-  If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
-specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
-part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
-User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
-fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
-Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
-by the Installation Information.  But this requirement does not apply
-if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
-modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
-been installed in ROM).
-
-  The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
-requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
-for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
-the User Product in which it has been modified or installed.  Access to a
-network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
-adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
-protocols for communication across the network.
-
-  Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
-in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
-documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
-source code form), and must require no special password or key for
-unpacking, reading or copying.
-
-  7. Additional Terms.
-
-  "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
-License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
-Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
-be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
-that they are valid under applicable law.  If additional permissions
-apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
-under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
-this License without regard to the additional permissions.
-
-  When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
-remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
-it.  (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
-removal in certain cases when you modify the work.)  You may place
-additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
-for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
-
-  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
-add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
-that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
-
-    a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
-    terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
-
-    b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
-    author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
-    Notices displayed by works containing it; or
-
-    c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
-    requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
-    reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
-
-    d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
-    authors of the material; or
-
-    e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
-    trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
-
-    f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
-    material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
-    it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
-    any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
-    those licensors and authors.
-
-  All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
-restrictions" within the meaning of section 10.  If the Program as you
-received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
-governed by this License along with a term that is a further
-restriction, you may remove that term.  If a license document contains
-a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
-License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
-of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
-not survive such relicensing or conveying.
-
-  If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
-must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
-additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
-where to find the applicable terms.
-
-  Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
-form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
-the above requirements apply either way.
-
-  8. Termination.
-
-  You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
-provided under this License.  Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
-modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
-this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
-paragraph of section 11).
-
-  However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
-license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
-provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
-finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
-holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
-prior to 60 days after the cessation.
-
-  Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
-reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
-violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
-received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
-copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
-your receipt of the notice.
-
-  Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
-licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
-this License.  If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
-reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
-material under section 10.
-
-  9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
-
-  You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
-run a copy of the Program.  Ancillary propagation of a covered work
-occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
-to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance.  However,
-nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
-modify any covered work.  These actions infringe copyright if you do
-not accept this License.  Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
-covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
-
-  10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
-
-  Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
-receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
-propagate that work, subject to this License.  You are not responsible
-for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
-
-  An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
-organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
-organization, or merging organizations.  If propagation of a covered
-work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
-transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
-licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
-give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
-Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
-the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
-
-  You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
-rights granted or affirmed under this License.  For example, you may
-not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
-rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
-(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
-any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
-sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
-
-  11. Patents.
-
-  A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
-License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based.  The
-work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
-
-  A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
-owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
-hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
-by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
-but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
-consequence of further modification of the contributor version.  For
-purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
-patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
-this License.
-
-  Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
-patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
-make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
-propagate the contents of its contributor version.
-
-  In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
-agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
-(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
-sue for patent infringement).  To "grant" such a patent license to a
-party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
-patent against the party.
-
-  If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
-and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
-to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
-publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
-then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
-available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
-patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
-consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
-license to downstream recipients.  "Knowingly relying" means you have
-actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
-covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
-in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
-country that you have reason to believe are valid.
-
-  If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
-arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
-covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
-receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
-or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
-you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
-work and works based on it.
-
-  A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
-the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
-conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
-specifically granted under this License.  You may not convey a covered
-work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
-in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
-to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
-the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
-parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
-patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
-conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
-for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
-contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
-or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
-
-  Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
-any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
-otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
-
-  12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
-
-  If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
-otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
-excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot convey a
-covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
-License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
-not convey it at all.  For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
-to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
-the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
-License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
-
-  13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
-
-  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
-permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
-under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
-combined work, and to convey the resulting work.  The terms of this
-License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
-but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
-section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
-combination as such.
-
-  14. Revised Versions of this License.
-
-  The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
-the GNU General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
-be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
-address new problems or concerns.
-
-  Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the
-Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
-Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
-option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
-version or of any later version published by the Free Software
-Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of the
-GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
-by the Free Software Foundation.
-
-  If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
-versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
-public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
-to choose that version for the Program.
-
-  Later license versions may give you additional or different
-permissions.  However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
-author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
-later version.
-
-  15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
-
-  THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
-APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
-HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
-OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
-THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
-PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
-IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
-ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
-
-  16. Limitation of Liability.
-
-  IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
-WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
-THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
-GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
-USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
-DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
-PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
-EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
-SUCH DAMAGES.
-
-  17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
-
-  If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
-above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
-reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
-an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
-Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
-copy of the Program in return for a fee.
-
-                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
-
-            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
-
-  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
-possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
-free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
-
-  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
-to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
-state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
-the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
-
-    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
-    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
-
-    This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
-    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
-    the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
-    (at your option) any later version.
-
-    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
-    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
-    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
-    GNU General Public License for more details.
-
-    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
-    along with this program.  If not, see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
-
-Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
-
-  If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
-notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
-
-    <program>  Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
-    This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
-    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
-    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
-
-The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
-parts of the General Public License.  Of course, your program's commands
-might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
-
-  You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
-if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
-For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
-<https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
-
-  The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
-into proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you
-may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
-the library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
-Public License instead of this License.  But first, please read
-<https://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-not-lgpl.html>.

+## LangStrings Query
+
+The **LangStrings query** provides access to localized strings. Supports filtering by `langCode` and `langStringKey`. If the requested string is missing or empty, you can optionally fallback to `en_us`.
+
+### Sample Query
+
+```graphql
+query GetLangStrings {
+  langStrings(langCode: "de_de", langStringKey: "settings_other_scanners") {
+    langStrings {
+      langCode
+      langStringKey
+      langStringText
+    }
+    count
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Query Parameters
+
+| Parameter        | Type    | Description                                                                              |
+| ---------------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `langCode`       | String  | Optional language code (e.g., `en_us`, `de_de`). If omitted, all languages are returned. |
+| `langStringKey`  | String  | Optional string key to retrieve a specific entry.                                        |
+| `fallback_to_en` | Boolean | Optional (default `true`). If `true`, empty or missing strings fallback to `en_us`.      |
+
+### `curl` Example
+
+```sh
+curl 'http://host:GRAPHQL_PORT/graphql' \
+  -X POST \
+  -H 'Authorization: Bearer API_TOKEN' \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  --data '{
+    "query": "query GetLangStrings { langStrings(langCode: \"de_de\", langStringKey: \"settings_other_scanners\") { langStrings { langCode langStringKey langStringText } count } }"
+  }'
+```
+
+### Sample Response
+
+```json
+{
+  "data": {
+    "langStrings": {
+      "count": 1,
+      "langStrings": [
+        {
+          "langCode": "de_de",
+          "langStringKey": "settings_other_scanners",
+          "langStringText": "Other, non-device scanner plugins that are currently enabled."  // falls back to en_us if empty

 ## Notes
 
-* Device and settings queries can be combined in one request since GraphQL supports batching.
+* Device, settings, and LangStrings queries can be combined in **one request** since GraphQL supports batching.
+* The `fallback_to_en` feature ensures UI always has a value even if a translation is missing.
+* Data is **cached in memory** per JSON file; changes to language or plugin files will only refresh after the cache detects a file modification.
 * The `setOverriddenByEnv` flag helps identify setting values that are locked at container runtime.
 * The schema is **read-only** — updates must be performed through other APIs or configuration management. See the other [API](API.md) endpoints for details.

+{
+  "error": "Forbidden"
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Add an Action to the Execution Queue
+
+* **POST** `/logs/add-to-execution-queue` → Add a system action to the execution queue.
+
+**Request Body (JSON):**
+
+```json
+{
+  "action": "update_api|devices"
+}
+```
+
+**Authorization:**
+Requires a valid API token in the `Authorization` header.

+
+**Response:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "error": "Forbidden"
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Notes
+
+* Only predefined files in `/app/log` can be purged — arbitrary paths are **not permitted**.
+* When a log file is purged:
+
+  * Its content is replaced with a short marker text: `"File manually purged"`.
+  * A backend log entry is created via `mylog()`.
+  * A frontend notification is generated via `write_notification()`.
+* Execution queue actions are appended to `execution_queue.log` and can be processed asynchronously by background tasks or workflows.
+* Unauthorized or invalid attempts are safely logged and rejected.
+* For advanced log retrieval, analysis, or structured querying, use the frontend log viewer.
+* Always ensure that sensitive or production logs are handled carefully — purging cannot be undone.

-## Backup strategies
+## Where the Data Lives
 
-The safest approach to backups is to backup everything, by taking regular file system backups of the `/db` and `/config` folders (I use [Kopia](https://github.com/kopia/kopia)). 
-
-Arguably, the most time is spent setting up the device list, so if only one file is kept I'd recommend to have a latest backup of the `devices_<timestamp>.csv` or `devices.csv` file, followed by the `app.conf` and `workflows.json` files. You can also download `app.conf` and `devices.csv` file in the Maintenance section:
-
-![Backup and Restore Section in Maintenance](./img/BACKUPS/Maintenance_Backup_Restore.png)
-
-### Scenario 1: Full backup
-
-End-result: Full restore
-
-#### 💾 Source artifacts:
-
-- `/app/db/app.db` (uncorrupted)
-- `/app/config/app.conf`
-- `/app/config/workflows.json`
-
-#### 📥 Recovery:
-
-To restore the application map the above files as described in the [Setup documentation](https://github.com/jokob-sk/NetAlertX/blob/main/dockerfiles/README.md#docker-paths). 
-
-
-### Scenario 2: Corrupted database
-
-End-result: Partial restore (historical data and some plugin data will be missing)
-
-#### 💾 Source artifacts:
-
-- `/app/config/app.conf`
-- `/app/config/devices_<timestamp>.csv` or `/app/config/devices.csv`
-- `/app/config/workflows.json`
-
-#### 📥 Recovery:
-
-Even with a corrupted database you can recover what I would argue is 99% of the configuration. 
-
-- upload the `app.conf` and `workflows.json` files into the mounted `/app/config/` folder as described in the [Setup documentation](https://github.com/jokob-sk/NetAlertX/blob/main/dockerfiles/README.md#docker-paths).
-- rename the `devices_<timestamp>.csv` to `devices.csv` and place it in the `/app/config` folder
-- Restore the `devices.csv` backup via the [Maintenance section](./DEVICES_BULK_EDITING.md)
-
-## Data and backup storage
-
-To decide on a backup strategy, check where the data is stored:
+Understanding where your data is stored helps you plan your backup strategy.
 
 ### Core Configuration
 
-The core application configuration is in the `app.conf` file (See [Settings System](./SETTINGS_SYSTEM.md) for details), such as:
+Stored in `/data/config/app.conf`.
+This includes settings for:
 
-- Notification settings
-- Scanner settings
-- Scheduled maintenance settings
-- UI configuration
+* Notifications
+* Scanning
+* Scheduled maintenance
+* UI preferences
 
-### Core Device Data
+(See [Settings System](./SETTINGS_SYSTEM.md) for details.)
 
-The core device data is backed up to the `devices_<timestamp>.csv` or `devices.csv` file via the [CSV Backup `CSVBCKP` Plugin](https://github.com/jokob-sk/NetAlertX/tree/main/front/plugins/csv_backup). This file contains data, such as:
+### Device Data
 
-- Device names
-- Device icons
-- Device network configuration
-- Device categorization 
-- Device custom properties data
+Stored in `/data/config/devices_<timestamp>.csv` or `/data/config/devices.csv`, created by the [CSV Backup `CSVBCKP` Plugin](https://github.com/jokob-sk/NetAlertX/tree/main/front/plugins/csv_backup).
+Contains:
 
-### Historical data
+* Device names, icons, and categories
+* Network configuration
+* Custom properties
 
-Historical data is stored in the `app.db` database (See [Database overview](./DATABASE.md) for details). This data includes:
+### Historical Data
 
-- Plugin objects
-- Plugin historical entries
-- History of Events, Notifications, Workflow Events
-- Presence history
+Stored in `/data/db/app.db` (see [Database Overview](./DATABASE.md)).
+Contains:
 
+* Plugin data and historical entries
+* Event and notification history
+* Device presence history
 
+---
+
+## Backup Strategies
+
+The safest approach is to back up **both** the `/db` and `/config` folders regularly. Tools like [Kopia](https://github.com/kopia/kopia) make this simple and efficient.
+
+If you can only keep a few files, prioritize:
+
+1. The latest `devices_<timestamp>.csv` or `devices.csv`
+2. `app.conf`
+3. `workflows.json`
+
+You can also download the `app.conf` and `devices.csv` files from the **Maintenance** section:
+
+![Backup and Restore Section in Maintenance](./img/BACKUPS/Maintenance_Backup_Restore.png)
+
+---
+
+## Scenario 1: Full Backup and Restore
+
+**Goal:** Full recovery of your configuration and data.
+
+### 💾 What to Back Up
+
+* `/data/db/app.db` (uncorrupted)
+* `/data/config/app.conf`
+* `/data/config/workflows.json`
+
+### 📥 How to Restore
+
+Map these files into your container as described in the [Setup documentation](./DOCKER_INSTALLATION.md).
+
+---
+
+## Scenario 2: Corrupted Database
+
+**Goal:** Recover configuration and device data when the database is lost or corrupted.
+
+### 💾 What to Back Up
+
+* `/data/config/app.conf`
+* `/data/config/workflows.json`
+* `/data/config/devices_<timestamp>.csv` (rename to `devices.csv` during restore)
+
+### 📥 How to Restore
+
+1. Copy `app.conf` and `workflows.json` into `/data/config/`
+2. Rename and place `devices_<timestamp>.csv` → `/data/config/devices.csv`
+3. Restore via the **Maintenance** section under *Devices → Bulk Editing*
+
+This recovers nearly all configuration, workflows, and device metadata.
+
+---
+
+## Docker-Based Backup and Restore
+
+For users running NetAlertX via Docker, you can back up or restore directly from your host system — a convenient and scriptable option.
+
+### Full Backup (File-Level)
+
+1. **Stop the container:**
+
+   ```bash
+   docker stop netalertx
+   ```
+
+2. **Create a compressed archive** of your configuration and database volumes:
+
+   ```bash
+   docker run --rm -v local_path/config:/config -v local_path/db:/db alpine tar -cz /config /db > netalertx-backup.tar.gz
+   ```
+
+3. **Restart the container:**
+
+   ```bash
+   docker start netalertx
+   ```
+
+### Restore from Backup
+
+1. **Stop the container:**
+
+   ```bash
+   docker stop netalertx
+   ```
+
+2. **Restore from your backup file:**
+
+   ```bash
+   docker run --rm -i -v local_path/config:/config -v local_path/db:/db alpine tar -C / -xz < netalertx-backup.tar.gz
+   ```
+
+3. **Restart the container:**
+
+   ```bash
+   docker start netalertx
+   ```
+
+> This approach uses a temporary, minimal `alpine` container to access Docker-managed volumes. The `tar` command creates or extracts an archive directly from your host’s filesystem, making it fast, clean, and reliable for both automation and manual recovery.
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+* Back up `/data/config` for configuration and devices; `/data/db` for history
+* Keep regular backups, especially before upgrades
+* For Docker setups, use the lightweight `alpine`-based backup method for consistency and portability

+# Dev Ports in Host Network Mode
+
+When using `"--network=host"` in the devcontainer, VS Code's normal port forwarding model doesn't apply. All container ports are already on the host network namespace, so:
+
+- Listing ports in `forwardPorts` can cause VS Code to pre-bind or reserve them (conflicts with startup scripts waiting for a free port).
+- The PORTS panel will not auto-detect services reliably, because forwarding isn't occurring.
+- Debugger ports (e.g. Xdebug `9003`, Python debugpy `5678`) can still be listed safely.
+
+## Recommended Pattern
+
+1. Only include debugger ports in `forwardPorts`:
+   ```jsonc
+   "forwardPorts": [5678, 9003]
+   ```
+2. Do NOT list application service ports (e.g. 20211, 20212) there when in host mode.
+3. Use the helper task to enumerate current bindings:
+   - Run task: `> Tasks: Run Task` → `[Dev Container] List NetAlertX Ports`
+
+## Port Enumeration Script
+Script: `scripts/list-ports.sh`
+Outputs binding address, PID (if resolvable) and process name for key ports.
+
+You can edit the PORTS variable inside that script to add/remove watched ports.
+
+## Xdebug Notes
+Set in `99-xdebug.ini`:
+```ini
+xdebug.client_host=127.0.0.1
+xdebug.client_port=9003
+xdebug.discover_client_host=1
+```
+Ensure your IDE is listening on 9003.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+| Symptom | Cause | Fix |
+|---------|-------|-----|
+| `Waiting for port 20211 to free...` repeats | VS Code pre-bound the port via `forwardPorts` | Remove the port from `forwardPorts`, rebuild, retry |
+| PHP request hangs at start | Xdebug trying to connect to unresolved host (`host.docker.internal`) | Use `127.0.0.1` or rely on discovery |
+| PORTS panel empty | Expected in host mode | Use the port enumeration task |
+
+## Future Improvements
+- Optional: add a small web status endpoint summarizing runtime ports.
+- Optional: detect host mode in `setup.sh` and skip the wait loop if the PID using port is the intended process.

-`docker-compose.yml` 
+**Example using a single variable:**
+
+This command runs NetAlertX on port 8080 instead of the default 20211.
+
+```sh
+PORT=8080 docker compose up
+```
+
+**Example using all available variables:**
+
+This command demonstrates overriding all primary environmental variables: running with host networking, on port 20211, GraphQL on 20212, and listening on all IPs.
+
+```sh
+NETALERTX_NETWORK_MODE=host \
+LISTEN_ADDR=0.0.0.0 \
+PORT=20211 \
+GRAPHQL_PORT=20212 \
+NETALERTX_DEBUG=0 \
+docker compose up
+```
+
+## `docker-compose.yaml` Modifications
+
+### Modification 1: Use a Local Folder (Bind Mount)
+
+By default, the baseline compose file uses "named volumes" (`netalertx_config`, `netalertx_db`). **This is the preferred method** because NetAlertX is designed to manage all configuration and database settings directly from its web UI. Named volumes let Docker handle this data cleanly without you needing to manage local file permissions or paths.
+
+However, if you prefer to have direct, file-level access to your configuration for manual editing, a "bind mount" is a simple alternative. This tells Docker to use a specific folder from your computer (the "host") inside the container.
+
+**How to make the change:**
+
+1. Choose a location on your computer. For example, `/home/adam/netalertx-files`.
+
+2. Create the subfolders: `mkdir -p /home/adam/netalertx-files/config` and `mkdir -p /home/adam/netalertx-files/db`.
+
+3. Edit your `docker-compose.yml` and find the `volumes:` section (the one *inside* the `netalertx:` service).
+
+4. Comment out (add a `#` in front) or delete the `type: volume` blocks for `netalertx_config` and `netalertx_db`.
+
+5. Add new lines pointing to your local folders.
+
+**Before (Using Named Volumes - Preferred):**
 
 ```yaml
+...
+    volumes:
+      - netalertx_config:/data/config:rw #short-form volume (no /path is a short volume)
+      - netalertx_db:/data/db:rw
+...
+```
+
+**After (Using a Local Folder / Bind Mount):**
+Make sure to replace `/home/adam/netalertx-files` with your actual path. The format is `<path_on_your_computer>:<path_inside_container>:<options>`.
+
+```yaml
+...
+    volumes:
+#      - netalertx_config:/data/config:rw
+#      - netalertx_db:/data/db:rw
+      - /home/adam/netalertx-files/config:/data/config:rw
+      - /home/adam/netalertx-files/db:/data/db:rw
+...
+```
+
+Now, any files created by NetAlertX in `/data/config` will appear in your `/home/adam/netalertx-files/config` folder.
+
+This same method works for mounting other things, like custom plugins or enterprise NGINX files, as shown in the commented-out examples in the baseline file.
+
+## Example Configuration Summaries
+
+Here are the essential modifications for common alternative setups.
+
+### Example 2: External `.env` File for Paths
+
+This method is useful for keeping your paths and other settings separate from your main compose file, making it more portable.
+
+**`docker-compose.yml` changes:**
+
+```yaml
+...
 services:
   netalertx:
-    container_name: netalertx
-    # use the below line if you want to test the latest dev image
-    # image: "ghcr.io/jokob-sk/netalertx-dev:latest"

+### Example 3: Docker Swarm
 
-### Example 4: Docker swarm
+This is for deploying on a Docker Swarm cluster. The key differences from the baseline are the removal of `network_mode:` from the service, and the addition of `deploy:` and `networks:` blocks at both the service and top-level.
 
-Notice how the host network is defined in a swarm setup:
+Here are the *only* changes you need to make to the baseline compose file to make it Swarm-compatible.

+# The NetAlertX Container Operator's Guide
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> ⚠️ **Important:** The documentation has been recently updated and some instructions may have changed.  
+> If you are using the currently live production image, please follow the instructions on [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/jokobsk/netalertx) for building and running the container.  
+> These docs reflect the latest development version and may differ from the production image.
+
+This guide assumes you are starting with the official `docker-compose.yml` file provided with the project. We strongly recommend you start with or migrate to this file as your baseline and modify it to suit your specific needs (e.g., changing file paths). While there are many ways to configure NetAlertX, the default file is designed to meet the mandatory security baseline with layer-2 networking capabilities while operating securely and without startup warnings.
+
+This guide provides direct, concise solutions for common NetAlertX administrative tasks. It is structured to help you identify a problem, implement the solution, and understand the details.

+
+## Task: Using a Local Folder for Configuration
+
+### Problem
+
+You want to edit your `app.conf` and other configuration files directly from your host machine, instead of using a Docker-managed volume.
+
+### Solution
+
+1. Stop the container:
+
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose down
+   ```
+2. (Optional but Recommended) Back up your data using the method in Part 1.
+3. Create a local folder on your host machine (e.g., `/data/netalertx_config`).
+4. Edit `docker-compose.yml`:
+
+   * **Comment out** the `netalertx_config` volume entry.
+   * **Uncomment** and **set the path** for the "Example custom local folder" bind mount entry.
+
+   ```yaml
+   ...
+       volumes:
+         # - type: volume
+         #   source: netalertx_config
+         #   target: /data/config
+         #   read_only: false
+   ...
+       # Example custom local folder called /data/netalertx_config
+       - type: bind
+         source: /data/netalertx_config
+         target: /data/config
+         read_only: false
+   ...
+   ```
+5. (Optional) Restore your backup.
+6. Restart the container:
+
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose up -d
+   ```
+
+### About This Method
+
+This replaces the Docker-managed volume with a "bind mount." This is a direct mapping between a folder on your host computer (`/data/netalertx_config`) and a folder inside the container (`/data/config`), allowing you to edit the files directly.
+
+---
+
+## Task: Migrating from a Local Folder to a Docker Volume
+
+### Problem
+
+You are currently using a local folder (bind mount) for your configuration (e.g., `/data/netalertx_config`) and want to switch to the recommended Docker-managed volume (`netalertx_config`).
+
+### Solution
+
+1. Stop the container:
+
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose down
+   ```
+2. Edit `docker-compose.yml`:
+
+   * **Comment out** the bind mount entry for your local folder.
+   * **Uncomment** the `netalertx_config` volume entry.
+
+   ```yaml
+   ...
+       volumes:
+         - type: volume
+           source: netalertx_config
+           target: /data/config
+           read_only: false
+   ...
+       # Example custom local folder called /data/netalertx_config
+       # - type: bind
+       #   source: /data/netalertx_config
+       #   target: /data/config
+       #   read_only: false
+   ...
+   ```
+3. (Optional) Initialize the volume:
+
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose up -d && docker-compose down
+   ```
+4. Run the migration command (**replace `/data/netalertx_config` with your actual path**):
+
+   ```bash
+   docker run --rm -v netalertx_config:/config -v /data/netalertx_config:/local-config alpine \
+     sh -c "tar -C /local-config -c . | tar -C /config -x"
+   ```
+5. Restart the container:
+
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose up -d
+   ```
+
+### About This Method
+
+This uses a temporary `alpine` container that mounts *both* your source folder (`/local-config`) and destination volume (`/config`). The `tar ... | tar ...` command safely copies all files, including hidden ones, preserving structure.
+
+---
+
+## Task: Applying a Custom Nginx Configuration
+
+### Problem
+
+You need to override the default Nginx configuration to add features like LDAP, SSO, or custom SSL settings.
+
+### Solution
+
+1. Stop the container:
+
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose down
+   ```
+2. Create your custom config file on your host (e.g., `/data/my-netalertx.conf`).
+3. Edit `docker-compose.yml`:
+
+   ```yaml
+   ...
+       # Use a custom Enterprise-configured nginx config for ldap or other settings
+       - /data/my-netalertx.conf:/tmp/nginx/active-config/netalertx.conf:ro
+   ...
+   ```
+4. Restart the container:
+
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose up -d
+   ```
+
+### About This Method
+
+Docker’s bind mount overlays your host file (`my-netalertx.conf`) on top of the default file inside the container. The container remains read-only, but Nginx reads your file as if it were the default.
+
+---
+
+## Task: Mounting Additional Files for Plugins
+
+### Problem
+
+A plugin (like `DHCPLSS`) needs to read a file from your host machine (e.g., `/var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases`).
+
+### Solution
+
+1. Stop the container:
+
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose down
+   ```
+2. Edit `docker-compose.yml` and add a new line under the `volumes:` section:
+
+   ```yaml
+   ...
+       volumes:
+   ...
+         # Mount for DHCPLSS plugin
+         - /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases:/mnt/dhcpd.leases:ro
+   ...
+   ```
+3. Restart the container:
+
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose up -d
+   ```
+4. In the NetAlertX web UI, configure the plugin to read from:
+
+   ```
+   /mnt/dhcpd.leases
+   ```
+
+### About This Method
+
+This maps your host file to a new, read-only (`:ro`) location inside the container. The plugin can then safely read this file without exposing anything else on your host filesystem.

-# Managing File Permissions for NetAlertX on Nginx with Docker
+# Managing File Permissions for NetAlertX on a Read-Only Container
 
 > [!TIP]
-> If you are facing permission issues, try to start the container without mapping your volumes. If that works, then the issue is permission related. You can try e.g., the following command: 
->  ``` 
->  docker run -d --rm --network=host \
->  -e TZ=Europe/Berlin \
->  -e PUID=200 -e PGID=200 \
->  -e PORT=20211 \
->  ghcr.io/jokob-sk/netalertx:latest
-> ```
-NetAlertX runs on an Nginx web server. On Alpine Linux, Nginx operates as the `nginx` user (if PUID and GID environment variables are not specified, nginx user UID will be set to 102, and its supplementary group `www-data` ID to 82). Consequently, files accessed or written by the NetAlertX application are owned by `nginx:www-data`.
+> NetAlertX runs in a **secure, read-only Alpine-based container** under a dedicated `netalertx` user (UID 20211, GID 20211). All writable paths are either mounted as **persistent volumes** or **`tmpfs` filesystems**. This ensures consistent file ownership and prevents privilege escalation.
 
-Upon starting, NetAlertX changes nginx user UID and www-data GID to specified values (or defaults), and the ownership of files on the host system mapped to `/app/config` and `/app/db` in the container to `nginx:www-data`. This ensures that Nginx can access and write to these files. Since the user in the Docker container is mapped to a user on the host system by ID:GID, the files in `/app/config` and `/app/db` on the host system are owned by a user with the same ID and GID (defaults are ID 102 and GID 82). On different systems, this ID:GID may belong to different users, or there may not be a group with ID 82 at all.
+---
 
-Option to set specific user UID and GID can be useful for host system users needing to access these files (e.g., backup scripts).
+## Writable Paths
+
+NetAlertX requires certain paths to be writable at runtime. These paths should be mounted either as **host volumes** or **`tmpfs`** in your `docker-compose.yml` or `docker run` command:
+
+| Path                                 | Purpose                             | Notes                                                  |
+| ------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `/data/config`                        | Application configuration           | Persistent volume recommended                          |
+| `/data/db`                            | Database files                      | Persistent volume recommended                          |
+| `/tmp/log`                           | Logs                                | Lives under `/tmp`; optional host bind to retain logs  |
+| `/tmp/api`                           | API cache                           | Subdirectory of `/tmp`                                 |
+| `/tmp/nginx/active-config` | Active nginx configuration override | Mount `/tmp` (or override specific file)               |
+| `/tmp/run`                      | Runtime directories for nginx & PHP | Subdirectory of `/tmp`                                 |
+| `/tmp`                               | PHP session save directory          | Backed by `tmpfs` for runtime writes                   |
+
+> Mounting `/tmp` as `tmpfs` automatically covers all of its subdirectories (`log`, `api`, `run`, `nginx/active-config`, etc.).
+
+> All these paths will have **UID 20211 / GID 20211** inside the container. Files on the host will appear owned by `20211:20211`.
+
+---
+
+## Fixing Permission Problems
+
+Sometimes, permission issues arise if your existing host directories were created by a previous container running as root or another UID. The container will fail to start with "Permission Denied" errors.
+
+### Solution
+
+1. **Run the container once as root** (`--user "0"`) to allow it to correct permissions automatically:
+
+```bash
+docker run -it --rm --name netalertx --user "0" \
+  -v local/path/config:/data/config \
+  -v local/path/db:/data/db \
+  ghcr.io/jokob-sk/netalertx:latest
+```
+
+2. Wait for logs showing **permissions being fixed**. The container will then **hang intentionally**.
+3. Press **Ctrl+C** to stop the container.
+4. Start the container normally with your `docker-compose.yml` or `docker run` command.
+
+> The container startup script detects `root` and runs `chown -R 20211:20211` on all volumes, fixing ownership for the secure `netalertx` user.
+
+---
+
+## Example: docker-compose.yml with `tmpfs`
+
+```yaml
+services:
+  netalertx:                                  
+    container_name: netalertx                
+    image: "ghcr.io/jokob-sk/netalertx"  
+    network_mode: "host"       
+    cap_add:
+      - NET_RAW
+      - NET_ADMIN
+      - NET_BIND_SERVICE
+    restart: unless-stopped
+    volumes:
+      - local/path/config:/data/config         
+      - local/path/db:/data/db                 
+    environment:
+      - TZ=Europe/Berlin      
+      - PORT=20211
+    tmpfs:
+      - "/tmp:uid=20211,gid=20211,mode=1700,rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,async,noatime,nodiratime"
+```
+
+> This setup ensures all writable paths are either in `tmpfs` or host-mounted, and the container never writes outside of controlled volumes.

+
+## Viewing Logs on the File System
+
+You cannot find any log files on the filesystem. The container is `read-only` and writes logs to a temporary in-memory filesystem (`tmpfs`) for security and performance. The application follows container best-practices by writing all logs to the standard output (`stdout`) and standard error (`stderr`) streams. Docker's logging driver (set in `docker-compose.yml`) captures this stream automatically, allowing you to access it with the `docker logs <image_name>` command.
+
+* **To see all logs since the last restart:**
+
+  ```bash
+  docker logs netalertx
+  ```
+* **To watch the logs live (live feed):**
+
+  ```bash
+  docker logs -f netalertx
+  ```
+## Enabling Persistent File-Based Logs
+
+The default logs are erased every time the container restarts because they are stored in temporary in-memory storage (`tmpfs`). If you need to keep a persistent, file-based log history, follow the steps below.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> This might lead to performance degradation so this approach is only suggested when actively debugging issues. See the [Performance optimization](./PERFORMANCE.md) documentation for details.
+
+1. Stop the container:
+
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose down
+   ```
+
+2. Edit your `docker-compose.yml` file:
+
+   * **Comment out** the `/tmp/log` line under the `tmpfs:` section.
+   * **Uncomment** the "Retain logs" line under the `volumes:` section and set your desired host path.
+
+   ```yaml
+   ...
+       tmpfs:
+         # - "/tmp/log:uid=20211,gid=20211,mode=1700,rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,async,noatime,nodiratime"
+   ...
+       volumes:
+   ...
+         # Retain logs - comment out tmpfs /tmp/log if you want to retain logs between container restarts
+         - /home/adam/netalertx_logs:/tmp/log
+   ...
+   ```
+3. Restart the container:
+
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose up -d
+   ```
+
+This change stops Docker from mounting a temporary in-memory volume at `/tmp/log`. Instead, it "bind mounts" a persistent folder from your host computer (e.g., `/data/netalertx_logs`) to that *same location* inside the container.

+Starting from v25.10.1, the container uses a [more secure, read-only runtime environment](./SECURITY_FEATURES.md), which requires all writable paths (e.g., logs, API cache, temporary data) to be mounted as `tmpfs` or permanent writable volumes, with sufficient access [permissions](./FILE_PERMISSIONS.md). 
+
+#### STEPS: 
+
+1. Stop the container 
+2. [Back up your setup](./BACKUPS.md) 
+3. Upgrade to `v25.10.1` by pinning the release version (See the example below)
+
+```yaml
+services:
+  netalertx:                                  
+    container_name: netalertx                
+    image: "ghcr.io/jokob-sk/netalertx:25.10.1"         # 🆕 This is important

+    environment:
+      - TZ=Europe/Berlin      
+      - PORT=20211
+```
+
+4. Start the container and verify everything works as expected.
+5. Stop the container.
+6. Perform a one-off migration to the latest `netalertx` image and `20211` user:
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> The example below assumes your `/config` and `/db` folders are stored in `local/path`.  
+> Replace this path with your actual configuration directory. `netalertx` is the container name, which might differ from your setup.

+  -v local/path/config:/data/config \
+  -v local/path/db:/data/db \

+```
+
+7. Stop the container
+8. Update the `docker-compose.yml` as per example below.

-## config.json Lifecycle in NetAlertX
+# Plugins Implementation Details
 
-This document describes on a high level how `config.json` is read, processed, and used by the NetAlertX core and plugins. It also outlines the plugin output contract and the main plugin types.
+Plugins provide data to the NetAlertX core, which processes it to detect changes, discover new devices, raise alerts, and apply heuristics.
 
-> [!NOTE]
-> For a deep-dive on the specific configuration options and sections of the `config.json` plugin manifest, consult the [Plugins Development Guide](PLUGINS_DEV.md).
+---
+
+## Overview: Plugin Data Flow
+
+1. Each plugin runs on a defined schedule.
+2. Aligning all plugin schedules is recommended so they execute in the same loop.
+3. During execution, all plugins write their collected data into the **`CurrentScan`** table.
+4. After all plugins complete, the `CurrentScan` table is evaluated to detect **new devices**, **changes**, and **triggers**.
+
+Although plugins run independently, they contribute to the shared `CurrentScan` table.
+To inspect its contents, set `LOG_LEVEL=trace` and check for the log section:
+
+```
+================ CurrentScan table content ================
+```
+
+---
+
+## `config.json` Lifecycle
+
+This section outlines how each plugin’s `config.json` manifest is read, validated, and used by the core and plugins.
+It also describes plugin output expectations and the main plugin categories.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> For detailed schema and examples, see the [Plugin Development Guide](PLUGINS_DEV.md).
 
 ---
 
 ### 1. Loading
 
-* On startup, the app core loads `config.json` for each plugin.
-* The `config.json` represents a plugin manifest, that contains metadata and runtime settings.
+* On startup, the core loads `config.json` for each plugin.
+* The file acts as a **plugin manifest**, defining metadata, runtime configuration, and database mappings.
 
 ---
 
 ### 2. Validation
 
-* The core checks that each required settings key (such as `RUN`) for a plugin exists.
-* Invalid or missing values may be replaced with defaults, or the plugin may be disabled.
+* The core validates required keys (for example, `RUN`).
+* Missing or invalid entries may be replaced with defaults or cause the plugin to be disabled.
 
 ---
 
 ### 3. Preparation
 
-* The plugin’s settings (paths, commands, parameters) are prepared.
-* Database mappings (`mapped_to_table`, `database_column_definitions`) for data ingestion into the core app are parsed.
+* Plugin parameters (paths, commands, and options) are prepared for execution.
+* Database mappings (`mapped_to_table`, `database_column_definitions`) are parsed to define how data integrates with the main app.
 
 ---
 
 ### 4. Execution
 
-* Plugins can be run at different core app execution points, such as on schedule, once on start, after a notification, etc. 
-* At runtime, the scheduler triggers plugins according to their `interval`.
-* The plugin executes its command or script.
+* Plugins may run:
+
+  * On a fixed schedule.
+  * Once at startup.
+  * After a notification or other trigger.
+* The scheduler executes plugins according to their `interval`.
 
 ---
 
 ### 5. Parsing
 
-* Plugin output is expected in **pipe (`|`)-delimited format**.
-* The core parses lines into fields, matching the **plugin interface contract**.
+* Plugin output must be **pipe-delimited (`|`)**.
+* The core parses each output line following the **Plugin Interface Contract**, splitting and mapping fields accordingly.
 
 ---
 
 ### 6. Mapping
 
-* Each parsed field is moved into the `Plugins_` database tables and can be mapped into a configured database table.
-* Controlled by `database_column_definitions` and `mapped_to_table`.
-* Example: `Object_PrimaryID → Devices.MAC`.
+* Parsed fields are inserted into the plugin’s `Plugins_*` table.
+* Data can be mapped into other tables (e.g., `Devices`, `CurrentScan`) as defined by:
+
+  * `database_column_definitions`
+  * `mapped_to_table`
+
+**Example:** `Object_PrimaryID → devMAC`
 
 ---
 
 ### 6a. Plugin Output Contract
 
-Each plugin must output results in the **plugin interface contract format**, pipe (`|`)-delimited values, in the column order described under [Plugin Interface Contract](PLUGINS_DEV.md)
+All plugins must follow the **Plugin Interface Contract** defined in `PLUGINS_DEV.md`.
+Output values are pipe-delimited in a fixed order.
 
-#### IDs
+#### Identifiers
 
-  * `Object_PrimaryID` and `Object_SecondaryID` identify the record (e.g. `MAC|IP`).
+* `Object_PrimaryID` and `Object_SecondaryID` uniquely identify records (for example, `MAC|IP`).
 
-#### **Watched values (`Watched_Value1–4`)**
+#### Watched Values (`Watched_Value1–4`)
 
-  * Used by the core to detect changes between runs.
-  * Changes here can trigger **notifications**.
+* Used by the core to detect changes between runs.
+* Changes in these fields can trigger notifications.
 
-#### **Extra value (`Extra`)**
+#### Extra Field (`Extra`)
 
-  * Optional, extra field.
-  * Stored in the database but **not used for alerts**.
+* Optional additional value.
+* Stored in the database but not used for alerts.
 
-#### **Helper values (`Helper_Value1–3`)**
+#### Helper Values (`Helper_Value1–3`)
 
-  * Added for cases where more than IDs + watched + extra are needed.
-  * Can be made visible in the UI.
-  * Stored in the database but **not used for alerts**.
+* Optional auxiliary data (for display or plugin logic).
+* Stored but not alert-triggering.
 
-#### **Mapping matters**
+#### Mapping
 
-  * While the plugin output is free-form, the `database_column_definitions` and `mapped_to_table` settings in `config.json` determine the **target columns and data types** in NetAlertX.
+* While the output format is flexible, the plugin’s manifest determines the destination and type of each field.
 
 ---
 
 ### 7. Persistence
 
-* Data is upserted into the database.
-* Conflicts are resolved using `Object_PrimaryID` + `Object_SecondaryID`.
+* Parsed data is **upserted** into the database.
+* Conflicts are resolved using the combined key: `Object_PrimaryID + Object_SecondaryID`.
 
 ---
 
-### 8. Plugin Types and Expected Outputs
+## Plugin Categories
 
-Beyond the `data_source` setting, plugins fall into functional categories. Each has its own input requirements and output expectations:
+Plugins fall into several functional categories depending on their purpose and expected outputs.
 
-#### **Device discovery plugins**
+### 1. Device Discovery Plugins
 
-  * **Inputs:** `N/A`, subnet, or API for discovery service, or similar.
-  * **Outputs:** At minimum `MAC` and `IP` that results in a new or updated device records in the `Devices` table.
-  * **Mapping:** Must be mapped to the `CurrentScan` table via `database_column_definitions` and `data_filters`.
-  * **Examples:** ARP-scan, NMAP device discovery (e.g., `ARPSCAN`, `NMAPDEV`).
-
-#### **Device-data enrichment plugins**
-
-  * **Inputs:** Device identifier (usually `MAC`, `IP`).
-  * **Outputs:** Additional data for that device (e.g. open ports).
-  * **Mapping:** Controlled via `database_column_definitions` and `data_filters`.
-  * **Examples:** Ports, MQTT messages (e.g., `NMAP`, `MQTT`)
-
-#### **Name resolver plugins**
-
-  * **Inputs:** Device identifiers (MAC, IP, or hostname).
-  * **Outputs:** Updated `devName` and `devFQDN` fields.
-  * **Mapping:** Not expected.
-  * **Note:** Currently requires **core app modification** to add new plugins, not fully driven by the plugins’ `config.json`.
-  * **Examples:** Avahiscan (e.g., `NBTSCAN`, `NSLOOKUP`).
-
-#### **Generic plugins**
-
-  * **Inputs:** Whatever the script or query provides.
-  * **Outputs:** Data shown only in **Integrations → Plugins**, not tied to devices.
-  * **Mapping:** Not expected.
-  * **Examples:** External monitoring data (e.g., `INTRSPD`)
-
-#### **Configuration-only plugins**
-
-  * **Inputs/Outputs:** None at runtime.
-  * **Mapping:** Not expected. 
-  * **Examples:** Used to provide additional settings or execute scripts (e.g., `MAINT`, `CSVBCKP`).
+* **Inputs:** None, subnet, or discovery API.
+* **Outputs:** `MAC` and `IP` for new or updated device records in `Devices`.
+* **Mapping:** Required – usually into `CurrentScan`.
+* **Examples:** `ARPSCAN`, `NMAPDEV`.

-### 9. Post-Processing
+### 2. Device Data Enrichment Plugins
 
-* Notifications are generated if watched values change.
-* UI is updated with new or updated records.
-* All values that are configured to be shown in teh UI appear in the Plugins section.
+* **Inputs:** Device identifiers (`MAC`, `IP`).
+* **Outputs:** Additional metadata (for example, open ports or sensors).
+* **Mapping:** Controlled via manifest definitions.
+* **Examples:** `NMAP`, `MQTT`.
 
 ---
 
-### 10. Summary
+### 3. Name Resolver Plugins
 
-The lifecycle of `config.json` entries is:
+* **Inputs:** Device identifiers (`MAC`, `IP`, hostname`).
+* **Outputs:** Updated `devName` and `devFQDN`.
+* **Mapping:** Typically none.
+* **Note:** Adding new resolvers currently requires a core change.
+* **Examples:** `NBTSCAN`, `NSLOOKUP`.
+
+---
+
+### 4. Generic Plugins
+
+* **Inputs:** Custom, based on the plugin logic or script.
+* **Outputs:** Data displayed under **Integrations → Plugins** only.
+* **Mapping:** Not required.
+* **Examples:** `INTRSPD`, custom monitoring scripts.
+
+---
+
+### 5. Configuration-Only Plugins
+
+* **Inputs/Outputs:** None at runtime.
+* **Purpose:** Used for configuration or maintenance tasks.
+* **Examples:** `MAINT`, `CSVBCKP`.
+
+---
+
+## Post-Processing
+
+After persistence:
+
+* The core generates notifications for any watched value changes.
+* The UI updates with new or modified data.
+* Plugins with UI-enabled data display under **Integrations → Plugins**.
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+The lifecycle of a plugin configuration is:
 
 **Load → Validate → Prepare → Execute → Parse → Map → Persist → Post-process**
 
-Plugins must follow the **output contract**, and their category (discovery, specific, resolver, generic, config-only) defines what inputs they require and what outputs are expected.
+Each plugin must:
+
+* Follow the **output contract**.
+* Declare its type and expected output structure.
+* Define mappings and watched values clearly in `config.json`.

+# NetAlertX Security: A Layered Defense
+
+Your network security monitor has the "keys to the kingdom," making it a prime target for attackers. If it gets compromised, the game is over.
+
+NetAlertX is engineered from the ground up to prevent this. It's not just an app; it's a purpose-built **security appliance.** Its core design is built on a **zero-trust** philosophy, which is a modern way of saying we **assume a breach will happen** and plan for it. This isn't a single "lock on the door"; it's a **"defense-in-depth"** strategy, more like a medieval castle with a moat, high walls, and guards at every door.
+
+Here’s a breakdown of the defensive layers you get, right out of the box using the default configuration.
+
+## Feature 1: The "Digital Concrete" Filesystem
+
+**Methodology:** The core application and its system files are treated as immutable. Once built, the app's code is "set in concrete," preventing attackers from modifying it or planting malware.
+
+* **Immutable Filesystem:** At runtime, the container's entire filesystem is set to `read_only: true`. The application code, system libraries, and all other files are literally frozen. This single control neutralizes a massive range of common attacks.
+
+* **"Ownership-as-a-Lock" Pattern:** During the build, all system files are assigned to a special `readonly` user. This user has no login shell and no power to write to *any* files, even its own. It’s a clever, defense-in-depth locking mechanism.
+
+* **Data Segregation:** All user-specific data (like configurations and the device database) is stored completely outside the container in Docker volumes. The application is disposable; the data is persistent.
+
+**What's this mean to you:** Even if an attacker gets in, they **cannot modify the application code or plant malware.** It's like the app is set in digital concrete.
+
+## Feature 2: Surgical, "Keycard-Only" Access
+
+**Methodology:** The principle of least privilege is strictly enforced. Every process gets only the absolute minimum set of permissions needed for its specific job.
+
+* **Non-Privileged Execution:** The entire NetAlertX stack runs as a dedicated, low-power, non-root user (`netalertx`). No "god mode" privileges are available to the application.
+
+* **Kernel-Level Capability Revocation:** The container is launched with `cap_drop: - ALL`, which tells the Linux kernel to revoke *all* "root-like" special powers.
+
+* **Binary-Specific Privileges (setcap):** This is the "keycard" metaphor in action. After revoking all powers, the system uses `setcap` to grant specific, necessary permissions *only* to the binaries that absolutely require them (like `nmap` and `arp-scan`). This means that even if an attacker compromises the web server, they can't start scanning the network. The web server's "keycard" doesn't open the "scanning" door.
+
+**What's this mean to you:** A security breach is **firewalled.** An attacker who gets into the web UI **does not have the "keycard"** to start scanning your network or take over the system. The breach is contained.
+
+## Feature 3: Attack Surface "Amputation"
+
+**Methodology:** The potential attack surface is aggressively minimized by removing every non-essential tool an attacker would want to use.
+
+* **Package Manager Removal:** The `hardened` build stage explicitly deletes the Alpine package manager (`apk del apk-tools`). This makes it impossible for an attacker to simply `apk add` their malicious toolkit.
+
+* **`sudo` Neutralization:** All `sudo` configurations are removed, and the `/usr/bin/sudo` command is replaced with a non-functional shim. Any attempt to escalate privileges this way will fail.
+
+* **Build Toolchain Elimination:** The `Dockerfile` uses a multi-stage build. The initial "builder" stage, which contains all the powerful compilers (`gcc`) and development tools, is completely discarded. The final production image is lean and contains no build tools.
+
+* **Minimal User & Group Files:** The `hardened` stage scrubs the system's `passwd` and `group` files, removing all default system users to minimize potential avenues for privilege escalation.
+
+**What's this mean to you:** An attacker who breaks in finds themselves in an **empty room with no tools.** They have no `sudo` to get more power, no package manager to download weapons, and no compilers to build new ones.
+
+## Feature 4: "Self-Cleaning" Writable Areas
+
+**Methodology:** All writable locations are treated as untrusted, temporary, and non-executable by default.
+
+* **In-Memory Volatile Storage:** The `docker-compose.yml` configuration maps all temporary directories (e.g., `/tmp/log`, `/tmp/api`, `/tmp`) to in-memory `tmpfs` filesystems. They do not exist on the host's disk.
+
+* **Volatile Data:** Because these locations exist only in RAM, their contents are **instantly and irrevocably erased** when the container is stopped. This provides a "self-cleaning" mechanism that purges any attacker-dropped files or payloads on every single restart.
+
+* **Secure Mount Flags:** These in-memory mounts are configured with the `noexec` flag. This is a critical security control: it **prohibits the execution of any binary or script** from a location that is writable.
+
+**What's this mean to you:** Any malicious file an attacker *does* manage to drop is **written in invisible, non-permanent ink.** The file is written to RAM, not disk, so it **vaporizes the instant you restart** the container. Even worse for them, the `noexec` flag means they **can't even run the file** in the first place.
+
+## Feature 5: Built-in Resource Guardrails
+
+**Methodology:** The container is constrained by resource limits to function as a "good citizen" on the host system. This prevents a compromised or runaway process from consuming excessive resources, a common vector for Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.
+
+* **Process Limiting:** The `docker-compose.yml` defines a `pids_limit: 512`. This directly mitigates "fork bomb" attacks, where a process attempts to crash the host by recursively spawning thousands of new processes.
+
+* **Memory & CPU Limits:** The configuration file defines strict resource limits to prevent any single process from exhausting the host's available system resources.
+
+**What's this mean to you:** NetAlertX is a "good neighbor" and **can't be used to crash your host machine.** Even if a process is compromised, it's in a digital straitjacket and **cannot** pull a "denial of service" attack by hogging all your CPU or memory.
+
+## Feature 6: The "Pre-Flight" Self-Check
+
+**Methodology:** Before any services start, NetAlertX runs a comprehensive "pre-flight" check to ensure its own security and configuration are sound. It's like a built-in auditor who verifies its own defenses.
+
+* **Active Self-Diagnosis:** On every single boot, NetAlertX runs a series of startup pre-checks—and it's fast. The entire self-check process typically completes in less than a second, letting you get to the web UI in about three seconds from startup.
+
+* **Validates Its Own Security:** These checks actively inspect the other security features. For example, `check-0-permissions.sh` validates that all the "Digital Concrete" files are locked down and all the "Self-Cleaning" areas are writable, just as they should be. It also checks that the correct `netalertx` user is running the show, not `root`.
+
+* **Catches Misconfigurations:** This system acts as a "safety inspector" that catches misconfigurations *before* they can become security holes. If you've made a mistake in your configuration (like a bad folder permission or incorrect network mode), NetAlertX will tell you in the logs *why* it can't start, rather than just failing silently.
+
+**What's this mean to you:** The system is **self-aware and checks its own work.** You get instant feedback if a setting is wrong, and you get peace of mind on every single boot knowing all these security layers are **active and verified,** all in about one second.
+
+## Conclusion: Security by Default
+
+No single security control is a silver bullet. The robust security posture of NetAlertX is achieved through **defense in depth**, layering these methodologies.
+
+An adversary must not only gain initial access but must also find a way to write a payload to a non-executable, in-memory location, without access to any standard system tools, `sudo`, or a package manager. And they must do this while operating as an unprivileged user in a resource-limited environment where the application code is immutable and *actively checks its own integrity on every boot*.

+# Excessive Capabilities
+
+## Issue Description
+
+Excessive Linux capabilities are detected beyond the necessary NET_ADMIN, NET_BIND_SERVICE, and NET_RAW. This may indicate overly permissive container configuration.
+
+## Security Ramifications
+
+While the detected capabilities might not directly harm operation, running with more privileges than necessary increases the attack surface. If the container is compromised, additional capabilities could allow broader system access or privilege escalation.
+
+## Why You're Seeing This Issue
+
+This occurs when your Docker configuration grants more capabilities than required for network monitoring. The application only needs specific network-related capabilities for proper function.
+
+## How to Correct the Issue
+
+Limit capabilities to only those required:
+
+- In docker-compose.yml, specify only needed caps:
+  ```yaml
+  cap_add:
+    - NET_RAW
+    - NET_ADMIN
+    - NET_BIND_SERVICE
+  ```
+- Remove any unnecessary `--cap-add` or `--privileged` flags from docker run commands
+
+## Additional Resources
+
+Docker Compose setup can be complex. We recommend starting with the default docker-compose.yml as a base and modifying it incrementally.

+# File Permission Issues
+
+## Issue Description
+
+NetAlertX cannot read from or write to critical configuration and database files. This prevents the application from saving data, logs, or configuration changes.
+
+## Security Ramifications
+
+Incorrect file permissions can expose sensitive configuration data or database contents to unauthorized access. Network monitoring tools handle sensitive information about devices on your network, and improper permissions could lead to information disclosure.
+
+## Why You're Seeing This Issue
+
+This occurs when the mounted volumes for configuration and database files don't have proper ownership or permissions set for the netalertx user (UID 20211). The container expects these files to be accessible by the service account, not root or other users.
+
+## How to Correct the Issue
+
+Fix permissions on the host system for the mounted directories:
+
+- Ensure the config and database directories are owned by the netalertx user: `chown -R 20211:20211 /path/to/config /path/to/db`
+- Set appropriate permissions: `chmod -R 755 /path/to/config /path/to/db` for directories, `chmod 644` for files
+- Alternatively, restart the container with root privileges temporarily to allow automatic permission fixing, then switch back to the default user

+# Incorrect Container User
+
+## Issue Description
+
+NetAlertX is running as UID:GID other than the expected 20211:20211. This bypasses hardened permissions, file ownership, and runtime isolation safeguards.
+
+## Security Ramifications
+
+The application is designed with security hardening that depends on running under a dedicated, non-privileged service account. Using a different user account can silently fail future upgrades and removes crucial isolation between the container and host system.
+
+## Why You're Seeing This Issue
+
+This occurs when you override the container's default user with custom `user:` directives in docker-compose.yml or `--user` flags in docker run commands. The container expects to run as the netalertx user for proper security isolation.
+
+## How to Correct the Issue
+
+Restore the container to the default user:
+
+- Remove any `user:` overrides from docker-compose.yml
+- Avoid `--user` flags in docker run commands

+
+## Issue Description
+
+Raw network capabilities (NET_RAW, NET_ADMIN, NET_BIND_SERVICE) are missing. Tools that rely on these capabilities (e.g., nmap -sS, arp-scan, nbtscan) will not function.
+
+## Security Ramifications

+# Mount Configuration Issues
+
+## Issue Description
+
+NetAlertX has detected configuration issues with your Docker volume mounts. These may include write permission problems, data loss risks, or performance concerns marked with ❌ in the table.
+
+## Security Ramifications
+
+Improper mount configurations can lead to data loss, performance degradation, or security vulnerabilities. For persistent data (database and configuration), using non-persistent storage like tmpfs can result in complete data loss on container restart. For temporary data, using persistent storage may unnecessarily expose sensitive logs or cache data.
+
+## Why You're Seeing This Issue
+
+This occurs when your Docker Compose or run configuration doesn't properly map host directories to container paths, or when the mounted volumes have incorrect permissions. The application requires specific paths to be writable for operation, and some paths should use persistent storage while others should be temporary.
+
+## How to Correct the Issue
+
+Review and correct your volume mounts in docker-compose.yml:
+
+- Ensure `${NETALERTX_DB}` and `${NETALERTX_CONFIG}` use persistent host directories
+- Ensure `${NETALERTX_API}`, `${NETALERTX_LOG}` have appropriate permissions
+- Avoid mounting sensitive paths to non-persistent filesystems like tmpfs for critical data
+- Use bind mounts with proper ownership (netalertx user: 20211:20211)
+
+Example volume configuration:
+```yaml

+# Network Mode Configuration
+
+## Issue Description
+
+NetAlertX is not running with `--network=host`. Bridge networking blocks passive discovery (ARP, NBNS, mDNS) and active scanning accuracy.
+
+## Security Ramifications
+
+Host networking is required for comprehensive network monitoring. Bridge mode isolates the container from raw network access needed for ARP scanning, passive discovery protocols, and accurate device detection. Without host networking, the application cannot fully monitor your network.
+
+## Why You're Seeing This Issue
+
+This occurs when your Docker configuration uses bridge networking instead of host networking. Network monitoring requires direct access to the host's network interfaces to perform passive discovery and active scanning.
+
+## How to Correct the Issue
+
+Enable host networking mode:
+
+- In docker-compose.yml, add: `network_mode: host`

+# Nginx Configuration Mount Issues
+
+## Issue Description
+
+You've configured a custom port for NetAlertX, but the required nginx configuration mount is missing or not writable. Without this mount, the container cannot apply your port changes and will fall back to the default port 20211.
+
+## Security Ramifications
+
+Running in read-only mode (as recommended) prevents the container from modifying its own nginx configuration. Without a writable mount, custom port configurations cannot be applied, potentially exposing the service on unintended ports or requiring fallback to defaults.
+
+## Why You're Seeing This Issue
+
+This occurs when you set a custom PORT environment variable (other than 20211) but haven't provided a writable mount for nginx configuration. The container needs to write custom nginx config files when running in read-only mode.
+
+## How to Correct the Issue
+
+If you want to use a custom port, create a bind mount for the nginx configuration:
+
+- Create a directory on your host: `mkdir -p /path/to/nginx-config`
+- Add to your docker-compose.yml:
+  ```yaml
+  volumes:
+    - /path/to/nginx-config:/tmp/nginx/active-config
+  environment:
+    - PORT=your_custom_port
+  ```
+- Ensure it's owned by the netalertx user: `chown -R 20211:20211 /path/to/nginx-config`
+- Set permissions: `chmod -R 700 /path/to/nginx-config`
+
+If you don't need a custom port, simply omit the PORT environment variable and the container will use 20211 by default.

+# Port Conflicts
+
+## Issue Description
+
+The configured application port (default 20211) or GraphQL API port (default 20212) is already in use by another service. This commonly occurs when you already have another NetAlertX instance running.
+
+## Security Ramifications
+
+Port conflicts prevent the application from starting properly, leaving network monitoring services unavailable. Running multiple instances on the same ports can also create configuration confusion and potential security issues if services are inadvertently exposed.
+
+## Why You're Seeing This Issue
+
+This error typically occurs when:
+
+- **You already have NetAlertX running** - Another Docker container or devcontainer instance is using the default ports 20211 and 20212
+- **Port conflicts with other services** - Other applications on your system are using these ports
+- **Configuration error** - Both PORT and GRAPHQL_PORT environment variables are set to the same value
+
+## How to Correct the Issue
+
+### Check for Existing NetAlertX Instances
+
+First, check if you already have NetAlertX running:
+
+```bash
+# Check for running NetAlertX containers
+docker ps | grep netalertx
+
+# Check for devcontainer processes
+ps aux | grep netalertx
+
+# Check what services are using the ports
+netstat -tlnp | grep :20211
+netstat -tlnp | grep :20212
+```
+
+### Stop Conflicting Instances
+
+If you find another NetAlertX instance:
+
+```bash
+# Stop specific container
+docker stop <container_name>
+
+# Stop all NetAlertX containers
+docker stop $(docker ps -q --filter ancestor=jokob-sk/netalertx)
+
+# Stop devcontainer services
+# Use VS Code command palette: "Dev Containers: Rebuild Container"
+```
+
+### Configure Different Ports
+
+If you need multiple instances, configure unique ports:
+
+```yaml
+environment:
+  - PORT=20211          # Main application port
+  - GRAPHQL_PORT=20212  # GraphQL API port
+```
+
+For a second instance, use different ports:
+
+```yaml
+environment:
+  - PORT=20213          # Different main port
+  - GRAPHQL_PORT=20214  # Different API port
+```
+
+### Alternative: Use Different Container Names
+
+When running multiple instances, use unique container names:
+
+```yaml
+services:
+  netalertx-primary:
+    # ... existing config
+  netalertx-secondary:
+    # ... config with different ports
+```

+# Running as Root User
+
+## Issue Description
+
+NetAlertX has detected that the container is running with root privileges (UID 0). This configuration bypasses all built-in security hardening measures designed to protect your system.
+
+## Security Ramifications
+
+Running security-critical applications like network monitoring tools as root grants unrestricted access to your host system. A successful compromise here could jeopardize your entire infrastructure, including other containers, host services, and potentially your network.
+
+## Why You're Seeing This Issue
+
+This typically occurs when you've explicitly overridden the container's default user in your Docker configuration, such as using `user: root` or `--user 0:0` in docker-compose.yml or docker run commands. The application is designed to run under a dedicated, non-privileged service account for security.
+
+## How to Correct the Issue
+
+Switch to the dedicated 'netalertx' user by removing any custom user directives:
+
+- Remove `user:` entries from your docker-compose.yml
+- Avoid `--user` flags in docker run commands
+- Ensure the container runs with the default UID 20211:20211
+
+After making these changes, restart the container. The application will automatically adjust ownership of required directories.
