The iframe-based 'panel' widget didn't work: the browser couldn't
authenticate against the OIDC-protected Grafana (Authentik), and
iframes can't carry Bearer tokens or share cross-origin session
cookies. Result: blank iframe or login redirect.
Replace it with a 'chart' widget that queries Grafana's datasource
API server-side:
Backend (GrafanaWidgetSource): POSTs to /api/ds/query with the stored
api_key (which bypasses OIDC), using the widget's configured PromQL
query, datasource_uid, time range, and resolution. Normalizes Grafana's
frame-based response into a simple {series: [{label, points: [{t, v}]}]}
shape. The api_key is never exposed to the browser.
Frontend (GrafanaChartWidget): renders the series data as a recharts
LineChart with dark-mode-aware colors (Tailwind --chart-* tokens),
responsive container, custom tooltip, and per-series lines. Loading
skeleton, error Alert, and empty state. recharts ^3.9.2 added.
The 'link' widget kind (deep-link URL) is unchanged. The 'panel' kind
and GrafanaPanelWidget are fully removed.
Backend: 279 tests pass (+1 net: -2 panel + 3 chart). Frontend: 127
tests pass (net 0: -3 panel + 3 chart). Lint/build green both sides.
Manage Frontend
React + TypeScript SPA for Manage, consuming the FastAPI backend.
Tech Stack
- Vite — Build tool
- React 18+ — UI framework
- TypeScript — Type safety
- @tanstack/react-query — Data fetching/caching
- @tanstack/react-table — Data tables (media, file browser)
- react-router-dom — Client-side routing
- Tailwind CSS + shadcn/ui — Styling
Setup
cd frontend
npm install
Development
npm run dev
Runs on http://localhost:5173 with API requests proxied to http://localhost:8000.
Make sure the backend is running:
cd ../backend
uvicorn media_library_viewer_api.main:app --reload --port 8000
Build
npm run build
Output goes to frontend/dist/.
Pages
- Dashboard (
/) — Now playing, library stats, configurable widgets and shortcuts, frontend/backend version chips in the shell header - Observability (
/observability) — Thin dashboard: Alertmanager alerts, Prometheus target health, machine status, and Grafana deep-links (no in-app charting) - Media (
/media) — Full-library table with sort/filter/search - Users (
/users) — Read-only Jellyfin user list with optional Jellyseerr enrichment - File Browser (
/files) — Remote directory browsing, ffprobe preview, jobs - Settings (
/settings) — Persistent monitoring machine definitions, SSH keys, and setup workflow - Actions (
/actions) — Saved server tasks (shell/python) targeting ssh_tasks services
Environment Variables
Set VITE_API_URL and any OIDC variables directly in your shell or Compose build args if the API is not at http://localhost:8000.
The frontend version defaults to the package.json version and can be overridden with VITE_APP_VERSION and VITE_APP_BUILD_INFO when you need explicit deployed labels.
VITE_API_URL=http://your-backend-host:8000
Configuration workflow examples
- Local development: run
docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up --build, then open the app and add monitoring machines in the Settings tab. - Production: export the required Compose variables in your shell, run
docker compose up --build, and manage local/remote machines from Settings. - Observability: Manage only deploys backend + frontend. It connects to existing Grafana/Prometheus/Alertmanager instances; see
docker-compose.observability.ymlfor an optional standalone example stack. A machine can belocal(the API host itself) orssh(a remote host), and the UI treats both the same after configuration.
In development, the Vite proxy handles /api requests automatically. Observability services (Grafana, Prometheus, Alertmanager) are configured in the app on the Services page — there are no observability env vars.
