+# ---/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 Devcontainer Notes
+
+This devcontainer replicates the production container as closely as practical, with a few development-oriented differences.
+
+Key behavior
+- No init process: Services are managed by shell scripts using killall, setsid, and nohup. Startup and restarts are script-driven rather than supervised by an init system.
+- Autogenerated Dockerfile: The effective devcontainer Dockerfile is generated on demand by `.devcontainer/scripts/generate-dockerfile.sh`. It combines the root `Dockerfile` (with certain COPY instructions removed) and an extra "devcontainer" stage from `.devcontainer/resources/devcontainer-Dockerfile`. When you change the resource Dockerfile, re-run the generator to refresh `.devcontainer/Dockerfile`.
+- Where to put setup: Prefer baking setup into `.devcontainer/resources/devcontainer-Dockerfile`. Use `.devcontainer/scripts/setup.sh` only for steps that must happen at container start (e.g., cleaning up nginx/php ownership, creating directories, touching runtime files) or depend on runtime paths.
+
+Debugging (F5)
+The Frontend and backend run in debug mode always.  You can attach your debugger at any time.  
+- Python Backend Debug: Attach - The backend runs with a debugger on port 5678. Set breakpoints in the code and press F5 to begin triggering them.
+- PHP Frontend (XDebug) Xdebug listens on 9003. Start listening and use an Xdebug extension in your browser to debug PHP.
+
+Common workflows (F1->Tasks: Run Task)
+- Regenerate the devcontainer Dockerfile: Run the VS Code task "Generate Dockerfile" or execute `.devcontainer/scripts/generate-dockerfile.sh`. The result is `.devcontainer/Dockerfile`.
+- Re-run startup provisioning: Use the task "Re-Run Startup Script" to execute `.devcontainer/scripts/setup.sh` in the container.
+- Start services:
+  - Backend (GraphQL/Flask): `.devcontainer/scripts/restart-backend.sh` starts it under debugpy and logs to `/app/log/app.log`
+  - Frontend (nginx + PHP-FPM): Started via setup.sh; can be restarted by the task "Start Frontend (nginx and PHP-FPM)".
+
+Production Container Evaulation
+1. F1 → Tasks: Shutdown services ([Dev Container] Stop Frontend & Backend Services)
+2. F1 → Tasks: Docker system and build prune ([Any] Docker system and build Prune)
+3. F1 → Remote: Close Unused Forwarded Ports (VS Code command)
+4. F1 → Tasks: Build & Launch Production (Build & Launch Prodcution Docker 
+5. visit http://localhost:20211
+
+Unit tests
+1. F1 → Tasks: Rebuild test container ([Any] Build Unit Test Docker image)
+2. F1 → Test: Run all tests
+
+Testing
+- pytest is installed via Alpine packages (py3-pytest, py3-pytest-cov).
+- PYTHONPATH includes workspace and venv site-packages so tests can import `server/*` modules and third-party libs.
+- Run tests via VS Code Pytest Runner or `pytest -q` from the workspace root.
+
+Conventions
+- Don’t edit `.devcontainer/Dockerfile` directly; edit `.devcontainer/resources/devcontainer-Dockerfile` and regenerate.
+- Keep setup in the resource Dockerfile when possible; reserve `setup.sh` for runtime fixes.
+- Avoid hardcoding ports/secrets; prefer existing settings and helpers (see `.github/copilot-instructions.md`).

+# 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.

+# NetAlertX AI Assistant Instructions
+This is NetAlertX — network monitoring & alerting. NetAlertX provides Network inventory, awareness, insight, categorization, intruder and presence detection. This is a heavily community-driven project, welcoming of all contributions.
+
+You are expected to be concise, opinionated, and biased toward security and simplicity.
+
+## Architecture (what runs where)
+- Backend (Python): main loop + GraphQL/REST endpoints orchestrate scans, plugins, workflows, notifications, and JSON export.
+	- Key: `server/__main__.py`, `server/plugin.py`, `server/initialise.py`, `server/api_server/api_server_start.py`
+- Data (SQLite): persistent state in `db/app.db`; helpers in `server/database.py` and `server/db/*`.
+- Frontend (Nginx + PHP + JS): UI reads JSON, triggers execution queue events.
+	- Key: `front/`, `front/js/common.js`, `front/php/server/*.php`
+- Plugins (Python): acquisition/enrichment/publishers under `front/plugins/*` with `config.json` manifests.
+- Messaging/Workflows: `server/messaging/*`, `server/workflows/*`
+- API JSON Cache for UI: generated under `api/*.json`
+
+Backend loop phases (see `server/__main__.py` and `server/plugin.py`): `once`, `schedule`, `always_after_scan`, `before_name_updates`, `on_new_device`, `on_notification`, plus ad‑hoc `run` via execution queue. Plugins execute as scripts that write result logs for ingestion.
+
+## Plugin patterns that matter
+- Manifest lives at `front/plugins/<code_name>/config.json`; `code_name` == folder, `unique_prefix` drives settings and filenames (e.g., `ARPSCAN`).
+- Control via settings: `<PREF>_RUN` (phase), `<PREF>_RUN_SCHD` (cron-like), `<PREF>_CMD` (script path), `<PREF>_RUN_TIMEOUT`, `<PREF>_WATCH` (diff columns).
+- Data contract: scripts write `/tmp/log/plugins/last_result.<PREF>.log` (pipe‑delimited: 9 required cols + optional 4). Use `front/plugins/plugin_helper.py`’s `Plugin_Objects` to sanitize text and normalize MACs, then `write_result_file()`.
+- Device import: define `database_column_definitions` when creating/updating devices; watched fields trigger notifications.
+
+### Standard Plugin Formats
+* publisher: Sends notifications to services. Runs `on_notification`. Data source: self.
+* dev scanner: Creates devices and manages online/offline status. Runs on `schedule`. Data source: self / SQLite DB.
+* name discovery: Discovers device names via various protocols. Runs `before_name_updates` or on `schedule`. Data source: self.
+* importer: Imports devices from another service. Runs on `schedule`. Data source: self / SQLite DB.
+* system: Provides core system functionality. Runs on `schedule` or is always on. Data source: self / Template.
+* other: Miscellaneous plugins. Runs at various times. Data source: self / Template.
+
+### Plugin logging & outputs
+- Always check relevant logs first.
+- Use logging as shown in other plugins.
+- Collect results with `Plugin_Objects.add_object(...)` during processing and call `plugin_objects.write_result_file()` exactly once at the end of the script.
+- Prefer to log a brief summary before writing (e.g., total objects added) to aid troubleshooting; keep logs concise at `info` level and use `verbose` or `debug` for extra context.
+
+- Do not write ad‑hoc files for results; the only consumable output is `last_result.<PREF>.log` generated by `Plugin_Objects`.
+## API/Endpoints quick map
+- Flask app: `server/api_server/api_server_start.py` exposes routes like `/device/<mac>`, `/devices`, `/devices/export/{csv,json}`, `/devices/import`, `/devices/totals`, `/devices/by-status`, plus `nettools`, `events`, `sessions`, `dbquery`, `metrics`, `sync`.
+- Authorization: all routes expect header `Authorization: Bearer <API_TOKEN>` via `get_setting_value('API_TOKEN')`.
+
+## Conventions & helpers to reuse
+- Settings: add/modify via `ccd()` in `server/initialise.py` or per‑plugin manifest. Never hardcode ports or secrets; use `get_setting_value()`.
+- Logging: use `logger.mylog(level, [message])`; levels: none/minimal/verbose/debug/trace.
+- Time/MAC/strings: `helper.py` (`timeNowDB`, `normalize_mac`, sanitizers). Validate MACs before DB writes.
+- DB helpers: prefer `server/db/db_helper.py` functions (e.g., `get_table_json`, device condition helpers) over raw SQL in new paths.
+
+## 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 `/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: 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:
+- 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.
+- Always leave logging enabled. If there is a possiblity it will be difficult to debug with current logging, add more logging.
+- Always run the testFailure tool before executing any tests to gather current failure information and avoid redundant runs.
+- Always prioritize using the appropriate tools in the environment first. As an example if a test is failing use `testFailure` then `runTests`. Never `runTests` first. 
+- Docker tests take an extremely long time to run.  Avoid changes to docker or tests until you've examined the exisiting testFailures and runTests results.
+- Environment tools are designed specifically for your use in this project and running them in this order will give you the best results.

+
+# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
+
+## Our Pledge
+
+We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our
+community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
+size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender
+identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status,
+nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual
+identity and orientation.
+
+We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming,
+diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
+
+## Our Standards
+
+Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our
+community include:
+
+- Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
+- Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
+- Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
+- Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes,
+  and learning from the experience
+- Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the overall
+  community
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
+
+- The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or advances of
+  any kind
+- Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
+- Public or private harassment
+- Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email address,
+  without their explicit permission
+- Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
+  professional setting
+
+## Enforcement Responsibilities
+
+Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of
+acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in
+response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive,
+or harmful.
+
+Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject
+comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are
+not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation
+decisions when appropriate.
+
+## Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when
+an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces.
+Examples of representing our community include using an official email address,
+posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
+representative at an online or offline event.
+
+## Enforcement
+
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
+reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement at <jokob@duck.com>.
+All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.
+
+All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the
+reporter of any incident.
+
+## Ethical Use Clause (Project-Specific)
+
+While NetAlertX is a tool designed to empower users with greater insight into their own networks, we expect and encourage all users to use this software **ethically and legally**.
+
+- Do not use this software to scan or monitor networks without **explicit authorization**.
+- Respect privacy, consent, and data protection laws applicable in your jurisdiction.
+- Any use of NetAlertX for malicious surveillance, stalking, or unauthorized access is explicitly discouraged and may be grounds for removal from the community and revocation of support.
+
+We reserve the right to take appropriate action to uphold the ethical integrity of this project.
+
+## Enforcement Guidelines
+
+Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining
+the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct:
+
+### 1. Correction
+
+**Community Impact**: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed
+unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.
+
+**Consequence**: A private, written warning from community leaders, providing
+clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the
+behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.
+
+### 2. Warning
+
+**Community Impact**: A violation through a single incident or series of
+actions.
+
+**Consequence**: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No
+interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with
+those enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time. This
+includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels
+like social media. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or permanent
+ban.
+
+### 3. Temporary Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: A serious violation of community standards, including
+sustained inappropriate behavior.
+
+**Consequence**: A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public
+communication with the community for a specified period of time. No public or
+private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction
+with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this period.
+Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.
+
+### 4. Permanent Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community
+standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior, harassment of an
+individual, or aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals.
+
+**Consequence**: A permanent ban from any sort of public interaction within the
+community.
+

+
+This Code of Conduct is adapted from the
+[Contributor Covenant](https://www.contributor-covenant.org/), version 2.1,

+# 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.

+## 🚀 Quick Start
+
+> [!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.
+
+Start NetAlertX in seconds with Docker:
+
+```bash
+docker run -d \
+  --network=host \
+  --restart unless-stopped \
+  -v /local_data_dir/config:/data/config \
+  -v /local_data_dir/db:/data/db \
+  -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \
+  --tmpfs /tmp:uid=20211,gid=20211,mode=1700 \
+  -e PORT=20211 \
+  -e APP_CONF_OVERRIDE='{"GRAPHQL_PORT":"20214"}' \
+  ghcr.io/jokob-sk/netalertx:latest
+```
+
+To deploy a containerized instance directly from the source repository, execute the following BASH sequence:
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/jokob-sk/NetAlertX.git
+cd NetAlertX
+docker compose up --force-recreate --build
+# To customize: edit docker-compose.yaml and run that last command again
+```
+
+Need help configuring it? Check the [usage guide](https://github.com/jokob-sk/NetAlertX/blob/main/docs/README.md) or [full documentation](https://jokob-sk.github.io/NetAlertX/).

+
+## 🔐 Security & Privacy
+
+NetAlertX scans your local network and can store metadata about connected devices. By default, all data is stored **locally**. No information is sent to external services unless you explicitly configure notifications or integrations.
+
+To further secure your installation:
+- Run it behind a reverse proxy with authentication
+- Use firewalls to restrict access to the web UI
+- Regularly update to the latest version for security patches
+
+See [Security Best Practices](https://github.com/jokob-sk/NetAlertX/security) for more details.
+
+
+## ❓ FAQ
+
+**Q: Why don’t I see any devices?**
+A: Ensure the container has proper network access (e.g., use `--network host` on Linux). Also check that your scan method is properly configured in the UI.
+
+**Q: Does this work on Wi-Fi-only devices like Raspberry Pi?**
+A: Yes, but some scanners (e.g. ARP) work best on Ethernet. For Wi-Fi, try SNMP, DHCP, or Pi-hole import.
+
+**Q: Will this send any data to the internet?**
+A: No. All scans and data remain local, unless you set up cloud-based notifications.
+
+**Q: Can I use this without Docker?**
+A: Yes! You can install it bare-metal. See the [bare metal installation guide](https://github.com/jokob-sk/NetAlertX/blob/main/docs/HW_INSTALL.md).
+
+**Q: Where is the data stored?**
+A: In the `/data/config` and `/data/db` folders. Back up these folders regularly.
+
+
+## 🐞 Known Issues
+
+- Some scanners (e.g. ARP) may not detect devices on different subnets. See the [Remote networks guide](https://github.com/jokob-sk/NetAlertX/blob/main/docs/REMOTE_NETWORKS.md) for workarounds.
+- Wi-Fi-only networks may require alternate scanners for accurate detection.
+- Notification throttling may be needed for large networks to prevent spam.
+- On some systems, elevated permissions (like `CAP_NET_RAW`) may be needed for low-level scanning.

-                    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>.

-NetAlertX comes with a couple of API endpoints. All requests need to be authorized (executed in a logged in browser session) or you have to pass the value of the `API_TOKEN` settings as authorization bearer, for example:
+This API provides programmatic access to **devices, events, sessions, metrics, network tools, and sync** in NetAlertX. It is implemented as a **REST and GraphQL server**. All requests require authentication via **API Token** (`API_TOKEN` setting) unless explicitly noted. For example, to authorize a GraphQL request, you need to use a `Authorization: Bearer API_TOKEN` header as per example below:
 
 ```graphql
 curl 'http://host:GRAPHQL_PORT/graphql' \

-## API Endpoint: GraphQL
+The API server runs on `0.0.0.0:<graphql_port>` with **CORS enabled** for all main endpoints.
 
-- Endpoint URL: `php/server/query_graphql.php`
-- Host: `same as front end (web ui)`
-- Port: `20212` or as defined by the `GRAPHQL_PORT` setting

-### Example Query to Fetch Devices
+## Authentication
 
-First, let's define the GraphQL query to fetch devices with pagination and sorting options.
+All endpoints require an API token provided in the HTTP headers:
 
-```graphql

-  }'
-```
-
-### Explanation:
-
-1. **GraphQL Query**:
-   - The `query` parameter contains the GraphQL query as a string.
-   - The `variables` parameter contains the input variables for the query.
-
-2. **Query Variables**:
-   - `page`: Specifies the page number of results to fetch.
-   - `limit`: Specifies the number of results per page.
-   - `sort`: Specifies the sorting options, with `field` being the field to sort by and `order` being the sort order (`asc` for ascending or `desc` for descending).
-   - `search`: A search term to filter the devices.
-   - `status`: The status filter to apply (valid values are `my_devices` (determined by the `UI_MY_DEVICES` setting), `connected`, `favorites`, `new`, `down`, `archived`, `offline`).
-
-3. **`curl` Command**:
-   - The `-X POST` option specifies that we are making a POST request.
-   - The `-H "Content-Type: application/json"` option sets the content type of the request to JSON.
-   - The `-d` option provides the request payload, which includes the GraphQL query and variables.
-
-### Sample Response
-
-The response will be in JSON format, similar to the following:
+If the token is missing or invalid, the server will return:
 
 ```json

+# Database Query API
+
+The **Database Query API** provides direct, low-level access to the NetAlertX database. It allows **read, write, update, and delete** operations against tables, using **base64-encoded** SQL or structured parameters.
+
+> [!Warning] 
+> This API is primarily used internally to generate and render the application UI. These endpoints are low-level and powerful, and should be used with caution. Wherever possible, prefer the [standard API endpoints](API.md). Invalid or unsafe queries can corrupt data.
+> If you need data in a specific format that is not already provided, please open an issue or pull request with a clear, broadly useful use case. This helps ensure new endpoints benefit the wider community rather than relying on raw database queries.
+
+---
+
+## Authentication
+
+All `/dbquery/*` endpoints require an API token in the HTTP headers:
+
+```http
+Authorization: Bearer <API_TOKEN>
+```
+
+If the token is missing or invalid:
+
+```json
+{ "error": "Forbidden" }
+```
+
+---
+
+## Endpoints
+
+### 1. `POST /dbquery/read`
+
+Execute a **read-only** SQL query (e.g., `SELECT`).
+
+#### Request Body
+
+```json
+{
+  "rawSql": "U0VMRUNUICogRlJPTSBERVZJQ0VT"   // base64 encoded SQL
+}
+```
+
+Decoded SQL:
+
+```sql
+SELECT * FROM Devices;
+```
+
+#### Response
+
+```json
+{
+  "success": true,
+  "results": [
+    { "devMac": "AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF", "devName": "Phone" }

+## 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, 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.

+
+## 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.

+# [Deprecated] API endpoints
+
+> [!WARNING] 
+> Some of these endpoints will be deprecated soon. Please refere to the new [API](API.md) endpoints docs for details on the new API layer. 
+
+NetAlertX comes with a couple of API endpoints. All requests need to be authorized (executed in a logged in browser session) or you have to pass the value of the `API_TOKEN` settings as authorization bearer, for example:
+
+```graphql
+curl 'http://host:GRAPHQL_PORT/graphql' \
+  -X POST \
+  -H 'Authorization: Bearer API_TOKEN' \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  --data '{
+    "query": "query GetDevices($options: PageQueryOptionsInput) { devices(options: $options) { devices { rowid devMac devName devOwner devType devVendor devLastConnection devStatus } count } }",
+    "variables": {
+      "options": {
+        "page": 1,
+        "limit": 10,
+        "sort": [{ "field": "devName", "order": "asc" }],
+        "search": "",
+        "status": "connected"
+      }
+    }
+  }'
+```
+
+## API Endpoint: GraphQL
+
+- Endpoint URL: `php/server/query_graphql.php`
+- Host: `same as front end (web ui)`
+- Port: `20212` or as defined by the `GRAPHQL_PORT` setting
+
+### Example Query to Fetch Devices
+
+First, let's define the GraphQL query to fetch devices with pagination and sorting options.
+
+```graphql
+query GetDevices($options: PageQueryOptionsInput) {
+  devices(options: $options) {
+    devices {
+      rowid
+      devMac
+      devName
+      devOwner
+      devType
+      devVendor
+      devLastConnection
+      devStatus
+    }
+    count
+  }
+}
+```
+
+See also: [Debugging GraphQL issues](./DEBUG_API_SERVER.md)
+
+### `curl` Command
+
+You can use the following `curl` command to execute the query. 
+
+```sh
+curl 'http://host:GRAPHQL_PORT/graphql'   -X POST   -H 'Authorization: Bearer API_TOKEN'  -H 'Content-Type: application/json'   --data '{
+    "query": "query GetDevices($options: PageQueryOptionsInput) { devices(options: $options) { devices { rowid devMac devName devOwner devType devVendor devLastConnection devStatus } count } }",
+    "variables": {
+      "options": {
+        "page": 1,
+        "limit": 10,
+        "sort": [{ "field": "devName", "order": "asc" }],
+        "search": "",
+        "status": "connected"
+      }
+    }
+  }'
+```
+
+### Explanation:
+
+1. **GraphQL Query**:
+   - The `query` parameter contains the GraphQL query as a string.
+   - The `variables` parameter contains the input variables for the query.
+
+2. **Query Variables**:
+   - `page`: Specifies the page number of results to fetch.
+   - `limit`: Specifies the number of results per page.
+   - `sort`: Specifies the sorting options, with `field` being the field to sort by and `order` being the sort order (`asc` for ascending or `desc` for descending).
+   - `search`: A search term to filter the devices.
+   - `status`: The status filter to apply (valid values are `my_devices` (determined by the `UI_MY_DEVICES` setting), `connected`, `favorites`, `new`, `down`, `archived`, `offline`).
+
+3. **`curl` Command**:
+   - The `-X POST` option specifies that we are making a POST request.
+   - The `-H "Content-Type: application/json"` option sets the content type of the request to JSON.
+   - The `-d` option provides the request payload, which includes the GraphQL query and variables.
+
+### Sample Response
+
+The response will be in JSON format, similar to the following:
+
+```json
+{
+  "data": {
+    "devices": {
+      "devices": [
+        {
+          "rowid": 1,
+          "devMac": "00:11:22:33:44:55",

+## API Endpoint: JSON files 
+
+This API endpoint retrieves static files, that are periodically updated. 
+
+- Endpoint URL: `php/server/query_json.php?file=<file name>`
+- Host: `same as front end (web ui)`
+- Port: `20211` or as defined by the $PORT docker environment variable (same as the port for the web ui)
+
+### When are the endpoints updated
+
+The endpoints are updated when objects in the API endpoints are changed.
+
+### Location of the endpoints
+
+In the container, these files are located under the API directory (default: `/tmp/api/`, configurable via `NETALERTX_API` environment variable). You can access them via the `/php/server/query_json.php?file=user_notifications.json` endpoint.
+
+### Available endpoints
+
+You can access the following files:
+
+  | File name | Description | 
+  |----------------------|----------------------| 
+  | `notification_json_final.json` | The json version of the last notification (e.g. used for webhooks - [sample JSON](https://github.com/jokob-sk/NetAlertX/blob/main/front/report_templates/webhook_json_sample.json)). |
+  | `table_devices.json` | All of the available Devices detected by the app. |  
+  | `table_plugins_events.json` | The list of the unprocessed (pending) notification events (plugins_events DB table). |
+  | `table_plugins_history.json` | The list of notification events history. |

+...
+```
+

+
+### Metrics Explanation
+
+#### 1. Aggregate Device Counts
+
+Metric names prefixed with `netalertx_` provide aggregated counts by device status:
+
+* `netalertx_connected_devices`: number of devices currently connected
+* `netalertx_offline_devices`: devices currently offline
+* `netalertx_down_devices`: down/unreachable devices
+* `netalertx_new_devices`: devices recently detected
+* `netalertx_archived_devices`: archived devices
+* `netalertx_favorite_devices`: user-marked favorite devices
+* `netalertx_my_devices`: devices associated with the current user context
+
+These numeric values give a high-level overview of device distribution.
+
+#### 2. Per‑Device Status with Labels
+
+Each individual device is represented by a `netalertx_device_status` metric, with descriptive labels:
+
+* `device`: friendly name of the device
+* `mac`: MAC address (or placeholder)
+* `ip`: last recorded IP address
+* `vendor`: manufacturer or "None" if unknown
+* `first_connection`: timestamp when the device was first observed
+* `last_connection`: most recent contact timestamp
+* `dev_type`: device category or type
+* `device_status`: current status (Online / Offline / Archived / Down / ...)
+
+The metric value is always `1` (indicating presence or active state) and the combination of labels identifies the device.
+
+---
+
+### How to Query with `curl`
+
+To fetch the metrics from the NetAlertX exporter:
+
+```sh
+curl 'http://<server_ip>:<GRAPHQL_PORT>/metrics' \
+  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <API_TOKEN>' \
+  -H 'Accept: text/plain'
+```
+
+Replace:
+
+* `<server_ip>`: IP or hostname of the NetAlertX server
+* `<GRAPHQL_PORT>`: port specified in your `GRAPHQL_PORT` setting  (default: `20212`)
+* `<API_TOKEN>` your Bearer token from the `API_TOKEN` setting
+
+---
+
+### Summary
+
+* **Endpoint**: `/metrics` provides both summary counters and per-device status entries.
+* **Aggregate metrics** help monitor overall device states.
+* **Detailed metrics** expose each device’s metadata via labels.
+* **Use case**: feed into Prometheus for scraping, monitoring, alerting, or charting dashboard views.
+
+### Prometheus Scraping Configuration
+
+```yaml
+scrape_configs:
+  - job_name: 'netalertx'
+    metrics_path: /metrics
+    scheme: http
+    scrape_interval: 60s

+# Sync API Endpoint 
+
+---
+
+The `/sync` endpoint is used by the **SYNC plugin** to synchronize data between multiple NetAlertX instances (e.g., from a node to a hub). It supports both **GET** and **POST** requests.
+
+#### 9.1 GET `/sync`
+
+Fetches data from a node to the hub. The data is returned as a **base64-encoded JSON file**.
+
+**Example Request:**
+
+```sh
+curl 'http://<server>:<GRAPHQL_PORT>/sync' \
+  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <API_TOKEN>'
+```
+
+**Response Example:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "node_name": "NODE-01",
+  "status": 200,
+  "message": "OK",
+  "data_base64": "eyJkZXZpY2VzIjogW3siZGV2TWFjIjogIjAwOjExOjIyOjMzOjQ0OjU1IiwiZGV2TmFtZSI6ICJEZXZpY2UgMSJ9XSwgImNvdW50Ijog1fQ==",
+  "timestamp": "2025-08-24T10:15:00+10:00"
+}
+```
+
+**Notes:**
+
+* `data_base64` contains the full JSON data encoded in Base64.
+* `node_name` corresponds to the `SYNC_node_name` setting on the node.
+* Errors (e.g., missing file) return HTTP 500 with an error message.
+
+---
+
+#### 9.2 POST `/sync` 
+
+The **POST** endpoint is used by nodes to **send data to the hub**. The hub expects the data as **form-encoded fields** (application/x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data). The hub then stores the data in the plugin log folder for processing.
+
+#### Required Fields
+
+| Field       | Type              | Description                                                                                                                                                                  |
+| ----------- | ----------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `data`      | string            | The payload from the plugin or devices. Typically **plain text**, **JSON**, or **encrypted Base64** data. In your Python script, `encrypt_data()` is applied before sending. |
+| `node_name` | string            | The name of the node sending the data. Matches the node’s `SYNC_node_name` setting. Used to generate the filename on the hub.                                                |
+| `plugin`    | string            | The name of the plugin sending the data. Determines the filename prefix (`last_result.<plugin>...`).                                                                         |
+| `file_path` | string (optional) | Path of the local file being sent. Used only for logging/debugging purposes on the hub; **not required for processing**.                                                     |
+
+---
+
+### How the Hub Processes the POST Data
+
+1. **Receives the data** and validates the API token.
+2. **Stores the raw payload** in:
+
+```
+INSTALL_PATH/log/plugins/last_result.<plugin>.encoded.<node_name>.<sequence>.log
+```
+
+* `<plugin>` → plugin name from the POST request.
+* `<node_name>` → node name from the POST request.
+* `<sequence>` → incremented number for each submission.
+
+3. **Decodes / decrypts the data** if necessary (Base64 or encrypted) before processing.
+4. **Processes JSON payloads** (e.g., device info) to:
+
+   * Avoid duplicates by tracking `devMac`.
+   * Add metadata like `devSyncHubNode`.
+   * Insert new devices into the database.
+5. **Renames files** to indicate they have been processed:
+
+```
+processed_last_result.<plugin>.<node_name>.<sequence>.log
+```
+
+---
+
+### Example POST Payload
+
+If a node is sending device data:
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST 'http://<hub>:<PORT>/sync' \
+  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <API_TOKEN>' \
+  -F 'data={"data":[{"devMac":"00:11:22:33:44:55","devName":"Device 1","devVendor":"Vendor A","devLastIP":"192.168.1.10"}]}' \
+  -F 'node_name=NODE-01' \
+  -F 'plugin=SYNC'
+```
+
+* The `data` field contains JSON with a **`data` array**, where each element is a **device object** or **plugin data object**.
+* The `plugin` and `node_name` fields allow the hub to **organize and store the file correctly**.
+* The data is only processed if the relevant plugins are enabled and run on the target server. 
+
+---
+
+### Key Notes
+
+* **Always use the same `plugin` and `node_name` values** for consistent storage.
+* **Encrypted data**: The Python script uses `encrypt_data()` before sending, and the hub decodes it before processing.
+* **Sequence numbers**: Every submission generates a new sequence, preventing overwriting previous data.
+* **Form-encoded**: The hub expects `multipart/form-data` (cURL `-F`) or `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`.
+
+**Storage Details:**
+
+* Data is stored under `INSTALL_PATH/log/plugins` with filenames following the pattern:
+
+```
+last_result.<plugin>.encoded.<node_name>.<sequence>.log
+```
+
+* Both encoded and decoded files are tracked, and new submissions increment the sequence number.
+* If storing fails, the API returns HTTP 500 with an error message.
+* The data is only processed if the relevant plugins are enabled and run on the target server. 
+
+---
+
+#### 9.3 Notes and Best Practices
+
+* **Authorization Required** – Both GET and POST require a valid API token.
+* **Data Integrity** – Ensure that `node_name` and `plugin` are consistent to avoid overwriting files.
+* **Monitoring** – Notifications are generated whenever data is sent or received (`write_notification`), which can be used for alerting or auditing.
+* **Use Case** – Typically used in multi-node deployments to consolidate device and event data on a central hub.

-## 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

-### Loading...
+# Troubleshooting Common Issues
 
-Often if the application is misconfigured the `Loading...` dialog is continuously displayed. This is most likely caused by the backed failing to start. The **Maintenance -> Logs** section should give you more details on what's happening. If there is no exception, check the Portainer log, or start the container in the foreground (without the `-d` parameter) to observe any exceptions. It's advisable to enable `trace` or `debug`. Check the [Debug tips](./DEBUG_TIPS.md) on detailed instructions. 
+> [!TIP]
+> Before troubleshooting, ensure you have set the correct [Debugging and LOG_LEVEL](./DEBUG_TIPS.md).
 
-### Incorrect SCAN_SUBNETS
+---
 
-One of the most common issues is not configuring `SCAN_SUBNETS` correctly. If this setting is misconfigured you will only see one or two devices in your devices list after a scan. Please read the [subnets docs](./SUBNETS.md) carefully to resolve this.
+## Docker Container Doesn't Start
 
-### Duplicate devices and notifications
-
-The app uses the MAC address as an unique identifier for devices. If a new MAC is detected a new device is added to the application and corresponding notifications are triggered. This means that if the MAC of an existing device changes, the device will be logged as a new device. You can usually prevent this from happening by changing the device configuration (in Android, iOS, or Windows) for your network. See the [Random Macs](./RANDOM_MAC.md) guide for details. 
+Initial setup issues are often caused by **missing permissions** or **incorrectly mapped volumes**. Always double-check your `docker run` or `docker-compose.yml` against the [official setup guide](./DOCKER_INSTALLATION.md) before proceeding.
 
 ### Permissions
 
-Make sure you [File permissions](./FILE_PERMISSIONS.md) are set correctly.
+Make sure your [file permissions](./FILE_PERMISSIONS.md) are correctly set:
 
-* If facing issues (AJAX errors, can't write to DB, empty screen, etc,) make sure permissions are set correctly, and check the logs under `/app/log`. 
-* To solve permission issues you can try setting the owner and group of the `app.db` by executing the following on the host system: `docker exec netalertx chown -R www-data:www-data /app/db/app.db`. 
-* If still facing issues, try to map the app.db file (⚠ not folder) to `:/app/db/app.db` (see [docker-compose Examples](https://github.com/jokob-sk/NetAlertX/blob/main/dockerfiles/README.md#-docker-composeyml-examples) for details)
+* If you encounter AJAX errors, cannot write to the database, or see an empty screen, check that permissions are correct and review the logs under `/tmp/log`.
+* To fix permission issues with the database, update the owner and group of `app.db` as described in the [File Permissions guide](./FILE_PERMISSIONS.md).
 
-### Container restarts / crashes
+### Container Restarts / Crashes
 
-* Check the logs for details. Often a required setting for a notification method is missing. 
+* Check the logs for details. Often, required settings are missing.
+* For more detailed troubleshooting, see [Debug and Troubleshooting Tips](./DEBUG_TIPS.md).
+* To observe errors directly, run the container in the foreground instead of `-d`:
 
-### unable to resolve host
+```bash
+docker run --rm -it <your_image>
+```
 
-* Check that your `SCAN_SUBNETS` variable is using the correct mask and `--interface`. See the [subnets docs for details](./SUBNETS.md).

-### Invalid JSON
+## Docker Container Starts, But the Application Misbehaves
 
-Check the [Invalid JSON errors debug help](./DEBUG_INVALID_JSON.md) docs on how to proceed.
+If the container starts but the app shows unexpected behavior, the cause is often **data corruption**, **incorrect configuration**, or **unexpected input data**.
 
-### sudo execution failing (e.g.: on arpscan) on a Raspberry Pi 4 
+### Continuous "Loading..." Screen
 
-> sudo: unexpected child termination condition: 0
+A misconfigured application may display a persistent `Loading...` dialog. This is usually caused by the backend failing to start.
 
-Resolution based on [this issue](https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-papermerge/issues/4#issuecomment-1003657581)
+**Steps to troubleshoot:**
+
+1. Check **Maintenance → Logs** for exceptions.
+2. If no exception is visible, check the Portainer logs.
+3. Start the container in the foreground to observe exceptions.
+4. Enable `trace` or `debug` logging for detailed output (see [Debug Tips](./DEBUG_TIPS.md)).
+5. Verify that `GRAPHQL_PORT` is correctly configured.
+6. Check browser logs (press `F12`):
+
+   * **Console tab** → refresh the page

+
+### Common Configuration Issues
+
+#### Incorrect `SCAN_SUBNETS`
+
+If `SCAN_SUBNETS` is misconfigured, you may see only a few devices in your device list after a scan. See the [Subnets Documentation](./SUBNETS.md) for proper configuration.
+
+#### Duplicate Devices and Notifications
+
+* Devices are identified by their **MAC address**.
+* If a device's MAC changes, it will be treated as a new device, triggering notifications.
+* Prevent this by adjusting your device configuration for Android, iOS, or Windows. See the [Random MACs Guide](./RANDOM_MAC.md).
+
+#### Unable to Resolve Host
+
+* Ensure `SCAN_SUBNETS` uses the correct mask and `--interface`.
+* Refer to the [Subnets Documentation](./SUBNETS.md) for detailed guidance.
+
+#### Invalid JSON Errors
+
+* Follow the steps in [Invalid JSON Errors Debug Help](./DEBUG_INVALID_JSON.md).
+
+#### Sudo Execution Fails (e.g., on arpscan on Raspberry Pi 4)
+

-### Losing my settings and devices after an update
+#### Losing Settings or Devices After Update
 
-If you lose your devices and/or settings after an update that means you don't have the `/app/db` and `/app/config` folders mapped to a permanent storage. That means every time you update these folders are re-created. Make sure you have the [volumes specified correctly](./DOCKER_COMPOSE.md) in your `docker-compose.yml` or run command.
+* Ensure `/data/db` and `/data/config` are mapped to persistent storage.
+* Without persistent volumes, these folders are recreated on every update.
+* See [Docker Volumes Setup](./DOCKER_COMPOSE.md) for proper configuration.
 
+#### Application Performance Issues
 
-### The application is slow
+Slowness can be caused by:
+
+* Incorrect settings (causing app restarts) → check `app.log`.
+* Too many background processes → disable unnecessary scanners.
+* Long scans → limit the number of scanned devices.
+* Excessive disk operations or failing maintenance plugins.
+
+> See [Performance Tips](./PERFORMANCE.md) for detailed optimization steps.
 
-Slowness is usually caused by incorrect settings (the app might restart, so check the `app.log`), too many background processes (disable unnecessary scanners), too long scans (limit the number of scanned devices), too many disk operations, or some maintenance plugins might have failed. See the [Performance tips](./PERFORMANCE.md) docs for details.

+# Debugging GraphQL server issues
+
+The GraphQL server is an API middle layer, running on it's own port specified by `GRAPHQL_PORT`, to retrieve and show the data in the UI. It can also be used to retrieve data for custom third party integarions. Check the [API documentation](./API.md) for details.
+
+The most common issue is that the GraphQL server doesn't start properly, usually due to a **port conflict**. If you are running multiple NetAlertX instances, make sure to use **unique ports** by changing the `GRAPHQL_PORT` setting. The default is `20212`.
+
+## How to update the `GRAPHQL_PORT` in case of issues
+
+As a first troubleshooting step try changing the default `GRAPHQL_PORT` setting. Please remember NetAlertX is running on the host so any application uising the same port will cause issues.
+
+### Updating the setting via the Settings UI
+
+Ideally use the Settings UI to update the setting under General -> Core -> GraphQL port:
+
+![GrapQL settings](./img/DEBUG_API_SERVER/graphql_settings_port_token.png)
+
+You might need to temporarily stop other applications or NetAlertX instances causing conflicts to update the setting. The `API_TOKEN` is used to authenticate any API calls, including GraphQL requests.
+
+### Updating the `app.conf` file
+
+If the UI is not accessible, you can directly edit the `app.conf` file in your `/config` folder:
+
+![Editing app.conf](./img/DEBUG_API_SERVER/app_conf_graphql_port.png)
+
+### Using a docker variable
+
+All application settings can also be initialized via the `APP_CONF_OVERRIDE` docker env variable.
+
+```yaml
+...
+ environment:
+      - PORT=20213
+      - APP_CONF_OVERRIDE={"GRAPHQL_PORT":"20214"}
+...
+```
+
+## How to check the GraphQL server is running?
+
+There are several ways to check if the GraphQL server is running.
+
+### Init Check
+
+You can navigate to Maintenance -> Init Check to see if `isGraphQLServerRunning` is ticked:
+
+![Init Check](./img/DEBUG_API_SERVER/Init_check.png)
+
+### Checking the Logs
+
+You can navigate to Maintenance -> Logs and search for `graphql` to see if it started correctly and serving requests:
+
+![GraphQL Logs](./img/DEBUG_API_SERVER/graphql_running_logs.png)
+
+### Inspecting the Browser console
+
+In your browser open the dev console (usually F12) and navigate to the Network tab where you can filter GraphQL requests (e.g., reload the Devices page).
+
+![Browser Network Tab](./img/DEBUG_API_SERVER/network_graphql.png)
+

+# Device Heuristics: Icon and Type Guessing
+
+This module is responsible for inferring the most likely **device type** and **icon** based on minimal identifying data like MAC address, vendor, IP, or device name.
+
+It does this using a set of heuristics defined in an external JSON rules file, which it evaluates **in priority order**.
+
+>[!NOTE]
+> You can find the full source code of the heuristics module in the `device_heuristics.py` file.  
+
+---
+
+## JSON Rule Format
+
+Rules are defined in a file called `device_heuristics_rules.json` (located under `/back`), structured like:
+
+```json
+[
+  {
+    "dev_type": "Phone",
+    "icon_html": "<i class=\"fa-brands fa-apple\"></i>",
+    "matching_pattern": [
+      { "mac_prefix": "001A79", "vendor": "Apple" }
+    ],
+    "name_pattern": ["iphone", "pixel"]
+  }
+]
+```
+
+>[!NOTE]
+> Feel free to raise a PR in case you'd like to add any rules into the `device_heuristics_rules.json` file. Please place new rules into the correct position and consider the priority of already available rules.
+
+### Supported fields:
+
+| Field              | Type                 | Description                                                     |
+| ------------------ | -------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `dev_type`         | `string`             | Type to assign if rule matches (e.g. `"Gateway"`, `"Phone"`)    |
+| `icon_html`        | `string`             | Icon (HTML string) to assign if rule matches. Encoded to base64 at load time. |
+| `matching_pattern` | `array`              | List of `{ mac_prefix, vendor }` objects for first strict and then loose matching    |
+| `name_pattern`     | `array` *(optional)* | List of lowercase substrings (used with regex)                  |
+| `ip_pattern`       | `array` *(optional)* | Regex patterns to match IPs                                     |
+
+**Order in this array defines priority** — rules are checked top-down and short-circuit on first match.
+
+---
+
+## Matching Flow (in Priority Order)
+
+The function `guess_device_attributes(...)` runs a series of matching functions in strict order:
+
+1. MAC + Vendor → `match_mac_and_vendor()`
+2. Vendor only → `match_vendor()`
+3. Name pattern → `match_name()`
+4. IP pattern → `match_ip()`
+5. Final fallback → defaults defined in the `NEWDEV_devIcon` and `NEWDEV_devType` settings.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> The app will try guessing the device type or icon if `devType` or `devIcon` are `""` or `"null"`.
+
+### Use of default values
+
+The guessing process runs for every device **as long as the current type or icon still matches the default values**. Even if earlier heuristics return a match, the system continues evaluating additional clues — like name or IP — to try and replace placeholders.
+
+```python
+# Still considered a match attempt if current values are defaults
+if (not type_ or type_ == default_type) or (not icon or icon == default_icon):
+    type_, icon = match_ip(ip, default_type, default_icon)
+```
+
+In other words: if the type or icon is still `"unknown"` (or matches the default), the system assumes the match isn’t final — and keeps looking. It stops only when both values are non-default (defaults are defined in the `NEWDEV_devIcon` and `NEWDEV_devType` settings).
+
+---
+
+## Match Behavior (per function)
+
+These functions are executed in the following order:
+
+### `match_mac_and_vendor(mac_clean, vendor, ...)`
+
+* Looks for MAC prefix **and** vendor substring match
+* Most precise
+* Stops as soon as a match is found
+
+### `match_vendor(vendor, ...)`
+
+* Falls back to substring match on vendor only
+* Ignores rules where `mac_prefix` is present (ensures this is really a fallback)
+
+### `match_name(name, ...)`
+
+* Lowercase name is compared against all `name_pattern` values using regex
+* Good for user-assigned labels (e.g. "AP Office", "iPhone")
+
+### `match_ip(ip, ...)`
+
+* If IP is present and matches regex patterns under any rule, it returns that type/icon
+* Usually used for gateways or local IP ranges
+
+---
+
+## Icons
+
+* Each rule can define an `icon_html`, which is converted to a `icon_base64` on load
+* If missing, it falls back to the passed-in `default_icon` (`NEWDEV_devIcon` setting)
+* If a match is found but icon is still blank, default is used
+
+**TL;DR:** Type and icon must both be matched. If only one is matched, the other falls back to the default.
+
+---
+
+## Priority Mechanics
+
+* JSON rules are evaluated **top-to-bottom**
+* Matching is **first-hit wins** — no scoring, no weights
+* Rules that are more specific (e.g. exact MAC prefixes) should be listed earlier

+# Devcontainer for NetAlertX Guide
+
+This devcontainer is designed to mirror the production container environment as closely as possible, while providing a rich set of tools for development.
+
+## How to Get Started
+
+1.  **Prerequisites:**
+    * A working **Docker installation** that can be managed by your user. This can be [Docker Desktop](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/) or Docker Engine installed via other methods (like the official [get-docker script](https://get.docker.com)).
+    * [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) installed.
+    * The [VS Code Dev Containers extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers) installed.
+
+2.  **Launch the Devcontainer:**
+    * Clone this repository.
+    * Open the repository folder in VS Code.
+    * A notification will pop up in the bottom-right corner asking to **"Reopen in Container"**. Click it.
+    * VS Code will now build the Docker image and connect your editor to the container. Your terminal, debugger, and all tools will now be running inside this isolated environment.
+
+## Key Workflows & Features
+
+Once you're inside the container, everything is set up for you.
+
+### 1. Services (Frontend & Backend)
+
+![Services](./img/DEV/devcontainer_1.png)
+
+The container's startup script (`.devcontainer/scripts/setup.sh`) automatically starts the Nginx/PHP frontend and the Python backend. You can restart them at any time using the built-in tasks.
+
+### 2. Integrated Debugging (Just Press F5!)
+
+![Debugging](./img/DEV/devcontainer_2.png)
+
+Debugging for both the Python backend and PHP frontend is pre-configured and ready to go.
+
+* **Python Backend (debugpy):** The backend automatically starts with a debugger attached on port `5678`. Simply open a Python file (e.g., `server/__main__.py`), set a breakpoint, and press **F5** (or select "Python Backend Debug: Attach") to connect the debugger.
+* **PHP Frontend (Xdebug):** Xdebug listens on port `9003`. In VS Code, start listening for Xdebug connections and use a browser extension (like "Xdebug helper") to start a debugging session for the web UI.
+
+### 3. Common Tasks (F1 -> Run Task)
+
+![Common tasks](./img/DEV/devcontainer_3.png)
+
+We've created several VS Code Tasks to simplify common operations. Access them by pressing `F1` and typing "Tasks: Run Task".
+
+* `Generate Dockerfile`: **This is important.** The actual `.devcontainer/Dockerfile` is auto-generated. If you need to change the container environment, edit `.devcontainer/resources/devcontainer-Dockerfile` and then run this task.
+* `Re-Run Startup Script`: Manually re-runs the `.devcontainer/scripts/setup.sh` script to re-link files and restart services.
+* `Start Backend (Python)` / `Start Frontend (nginx and PHP-FPM)`: Manually restart the services if needed.
+
+### 4. Running Tests
+
+![Running tests](./img/DEV/devcontainer_4.png)
+
+The environment includes `pytest`. You can run tests directly from the VS Code Test Explorer UI or by running `pytest -q` in the integrated terminal. The necessary `PYTHONPATH` is already configured so that tests can correctly import the server modules.
+
+## How to Maintain This Devcontainer
+
+The setup is designed to be easy to manage. Here are the core principles:
+
+* **Don't Edit `Dockerfile` Directly:** The main `.devcontainer/Dockerfile` is a combination of the project's root `Dockerfile` and a special dev-only stage. To add new tools or dependencies, **edit `.devcontainer/resources/devcontainer-Dockerfile`** and then run the `Generate Dockerfile` task.
+* **Build-Time vs. Run-Time Setup:**
+    * For changes that can be baked into the image (like installing a new package with `apk add`), add them to the resource Dockerfile.
+    * For changes that must happen when the container *starts* (like creating symlinks, setting permissions, or starting services), use `.devcontainer/scripts/setup.sh`.
+* **Project Conventions:** The `.github/copilot-instructions.md` file is an excellent resource to help AI and humans understand the project's architecture, conventions, and how to use existing helper functions instead of hardcoding values.
+
+This setup provides a powerful and consistent foundation for all current and future contributors to NetAlertX.

+# 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.

+```sh
+docker compose up --force-recreate
 ```
 
-To run the container execute: `sudo docker-compose up -d`
+### Customize with Environmental Variables
 
-### Example 3
+You can override the default settings by passing environmental variables to the `docker compose up` command.
 
-`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 a single named volume (netalertx_data) mounted at /data. This single-volume layout is preferred because NetAlertX manages both configuration and the database under /data (for example, /data/config and /data/db) via its web UI. Using one named volume simplifies permissions and portability: Docker manages the storage and NetAlertX manages the files inside /data.
+
+A two-volume layout that mounts /data/config and /data/db separately (for example, netalertx_config and netalertx_db) is supported for backward compatibility and some advanced workflows, but it is an abnormal/legacy layout and not recommended for new deployments. 
+
+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, `/local_data_dir`.
+
+2. Create the subfolders: `mkdir -p /local_data_dir/config` and `mkdir -p /local_data_dir/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 `/local_data_dir` 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
+      - /local_data_dir/config:/data/config:rw
+      - /local_data_dir/db:/data/db:rw
+...
+```
+
+Now, any files created by NetAlertX in `/data/config` will appear in your `/local_data_dir/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

+# 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.

+# Deploying NetAlertX in Portainer (via Stacks)
+
+This guide shows you how to set up **NetAlertX** using Portainer’s **Stacks** feature.
+
+![Portainer > Stacks](./img/DOCKER/DOCKER_PORTAINER.png)
+
+---
+
+## 1. Prepare Your Host
+
+Before deploying, make sure you have a folder on your Docker host for NetAlertX data. Replace `APP_FOLDER` with your preferred location, for example `/local_data_dir` here:
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p /local_data_dir/netalertx/config
+mkdir -p /local_data_dir/netalertx/db
+mkdir -p /local_data_dir/netalertx/log
+```
+
+---
+
+## 2. Open Portainer Stacks
+
+1. Log in to your **Portainer UI**.
+2. Navigate to **Stacks** → **Add stack**.
+3. Give your stack a name (e.g., `netalertx`).
+
+---
+
+## 3. Paste the Stack Configuration
+
+Copy and paste the following YAML into the **Web editor**:
+
+```yaml
+services:
+  netalertx:
+    container_name: netalertx
+    # Use this line for stable release
+    image: "ghcr.io/jokob-sk/netalertx:latest"
+    # Or, use this for the latest development build
+    # image: "ghcr.io/jokob-sk/netalertx-dev:latest"
+    network_mode: "host"
+    restart: unless-stopped
+    cap_drop:       # Drop all capabilities for enhanced security
+      - ALL
+    cap_add:        # Re-add necessary capabilities
+      - NET_RAW
+      - NET_ADMIN
+      - NET_BIND_SERVICE
+    volumes:
+      - ${APP_FOLDER}/netalertx/config:/data/config
+      - ${APP_FOLDER}/netalertx/db:/data/db
+      # to sync with system time
+      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
+    tmpfs:
+      # All writable runtime state resides under /tmp; comment out to persist logs between restarts
+      - "/tmp:uid=20211,gid=20211,mode=1700,rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,async,noatime,nodiratime"
+    environment:
+      - PORT=${PORT}
+      - APP_CONF_OVERRIDE=${APP_CONF_OVERRIDE}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 4. Configure Environment Variables
+
+In the **Environment variables** section of Portainer, add the following:
+
+* `APP_FOLDER=/local_data_dir` (or wherever you created the directories in step 1)
+* `PORT=22022` (or another port if needed)
+* `APP_CONF_OVERRIDE={"GRAPHQL_PORT":"22023"}` (optional advanced settings, otherwise the backend API server PORT defaults to `20212`)
+
+---
+
+## 5. Ensure permissions
+
+> [!TIP]
+> If you are facing permissions issues run the following commands on your server. This will change the owner and assure sufficient access to the database and config files that are stored in the `/local_data_dir/db` and `/local_data_dir/config` folders (replace `local_data_dir` with the location where your `/db` and `/config` folders are located).
+>
+>  `sudo chown -R 20211:20211 /local_data_dir`
+>
+>  `sudo chmod -R a+rwx  /local_data_dir1`
+>
+
+
+---
+
+## 6. Deploy the Stack
+
+1. Scroll down and click **Deploy the stack**.
+2. Portainer will pull the image and start NetAlertX.
+3. Once running, access the app at:
+
+```
+http://<your-docker-host-ip>:22022
+```
+
+---
+
+## 7. Verify and Troubleshoot
+
+* Check logs via Portainer → **Containers** → `netalertx` → **Logs**.
+* Logs are stored under `${APP_FOLDER}/netalertx/log` if you enabled that volume.
+
+Once the application is running, configure it by reading the [initial setup](INITIAL_SETUP.md) guide, or [troubleshoot common issues](COMMON_ISSUES.md).

-# Managing File Permissions for NetAlertX on Nginx with Docker
+# Managing File Permissions for NetAlertX on a Read-Only Container
+
+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.
 
 > [!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.
+Try starting the container with all data to be in non-persistent volumes. If this works, the issue might be related to the permissions of your persistent data mount locations on your server.
 
-Option to set specific user UID and GID can be useful for host system users needing to access these files (e.g., backup scripts).
+```bash
+docker run --rm --network=host \
+  -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \
+  --tmpfs /tmp:uid=20211,gid=20211,mode=1700 \
+  -e PORT=20211 \
+  ghcr.io/jokob-sk/netalertx:latest
+```
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> The above should be only used as a test - once the container restarts, all data is lost.
+
+---
+
+## 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`.
+
+---
+
+### 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_data_dir/config:/data/config \
+  -v /local_data_dir/db:/data/db \
+  --tmpfs /tmp:uid=20211,gid=20211,mode=1700 \
+  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.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> If you are facing permissions issues run the following commands on your server. This will change the owner and assure sufficient access to the database and config files that are stored in the `/local_data_dir/db` and `/local_data_dir/config` folders (replace `local_data_dir` with the location where your `/db` and `/config` folders are located).
+>
+>  `sudo chown -R 20211:20211 /local_data_dir`
+>
+>  `sudo chmod -R a+rwx  /local_data_dir1`
+>
+
+---
+
+## Example: docker-compose.yml with `tmpfs`
+
+```yaml
+services:
+  netalertx:
+    container_name: netalertx
+    image: "ghcr.io/jokob-sk/netalertx"

+      - NET_BIND_SERVICE                            # Required to bind to privileged ports (nbtscan)
+    restart: unless-stopped
+    volumes:
+      - /local_data_dir/config:/data/config
+      - /local_data_dir/db:/data/db
+      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime
+    environment:
+      - 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.

+# Troubleshooting: Devices Show Offline When They Are Online
+
+In some network setups, certain devices may intermittently appear as **offline** in NetAlertX, even though they are connected and responsive. This issue is often more noticeable with devices that have **higher IP addresses** within the subnet.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+>
+> Network presence graph showing increased drop outs before enabling additional `ICMP` scans and continuous online presence after following this guide. This graph shows a sudden spike in drop outs probably caused by a device software update.
+> ![before after presence](./img/FIX_OFFLINE_DETECTION/presence_graph_before_after.png)
+
+## Symptoms
+
+* Devices sporadically show as offline in the presence timeline.
+* This behavior often affects devices with higher IPs (e.g., `192.168.1.240+`).
+* Presence data appears inconsistent or unreliable despite the device being online.
+
+## Cause
+
+This issue is typically related to scanning limitations:
+
+* **ARP scan timeouts** may prevent full subnet coverage.
+* **Sole reliance on ARP** can result in missed detections:
+
+  * Some devices (like iPhones) suppress or reject frequent ARP requests.
+  * ARP responses may be blocked or delayed due to power-saving features or OS behavior.
+
+* **Scanning frequency conflicts**, where devices ignore repeated scans within a short period.
+
+## Recommended Fixes
+
+To improve presence accuracy and reduce false offline states:
+
+### ✅ Increase ARP Scan Timeout
+
+Extend the ARP scanner timeout and DURATION to ensure full subnet coverage:
+
+```env
+ARPSCAN_RUN_TIMEOUT=360
+ARPSCAN_DURATION=30
+```
+
+> Adjust based on your network size and device count.
+
+### ✅ Add ICMP (Ping) Scanning
+
+Enable the `ICMP` scan plugin to complement ARP detection. ICMP is often more reliable for detecting active hosts, especially when ARP fails. 
+
+### ✅ Use Multiple Detection Methods
+
+A combined approach greatly improves detection robustness:
+
+* `ARPSCAN` (default)
+* `ICMP` (ping)
+* `NMAPDEV` (nmap)
+
+This hybrid strategy increases reliability, especially for down detection and alerting. See [other plugins](./PLUGINS.md) that might be compatible with your setup. See benefits and drawbacks of individual scan methods in their respective docs. 
+
+## Results
+
+After increasing the ARP timeout and adding ICMP scanning (on select IP ranges), users typically report:
+
+* More consistent presence graphs
+* Fewer false offline events
+* Better coverage across all IP ranges
+
+## Summary
+
+| Setting               | Recommendation                                |
+| --------------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
+| `ARPSCAN_RUN_TIMEOUT` | Increase to ensure scans reach all IPs        |
+| `ICMP` Scan           | Enable to detect devices ARP might miss       |
+| Multi-method Scanning | Use a mix of ARP, ICMP, and NMAP-based methods |
+
+---
+
+**Tip:** Each environment is unique. Consider fine-tuning scan settings based on your network size, device behavior, and desired detection accuracy.

 NetAlertX will be installed in `/app` and run on port number `20211`.
 
 Some facts about what and where something will be changed/installed by the HW install setup (may not contain everything!):
 
+- dependencies will be installed from the respective system repos
+- required python modules will be installed
 - `/app` directory will be deleted and newly created
-- `/app` will contain the whole repository (downloaded by `install/install.debian.sh`)
+- `/app` will contain the whole repository (downloaded by the install script)
 - The default NGINX site `/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default` will be disabled (sym-link deleted or backed up to `sites-available`)
 - `/var/www/html/netalertx` directory will be deleted and newly created
-- `/etc/nginx/conf.d/netalertx.conf` will be sym-linked to `/app/install/netalertx.debian.conf`
+- `/etc/nginx/conf.d/netalertx.conf` will be sym-linked to the appropriate installer location (depending on your system installer script)
 - Some files (IEEE device vendors info, ...) will be created in the directory where the installation script is executed
 
 ## Limitations
 
-- No system service is provided. NetAlertX must be started using `/app/install/start.debian.sh`.
+- No system service is provided. NetAlertX must be started using `/app/install/<system>/start.<system>.sh`.
 - No checks for other running software is done.
