Developer c1610c93a1 docs(observability): refresh docs for service-registry end state
After the observability-service-registry slices removed the observability
env vars and the file-SD writer, several docs still instructed readers to
set vars that no longer exist. Updated the live config instructions;
historical decision-log entries are left intact.

- README.md: removed VITE_GRAFANA_URL/VITE_PROMETHEUS_URL/ALERTMANAGER_URL
  from compose examples and the env-var block; added a note that
  observability is configured on the Services page; updated Notes.
- frontend/README.md: dropped the stale VITE_* deep-link sentence.
- docs/REQUIREMENTS.md: fixed one stale trailing phrase in the
  externalization decision-log entry (VITE_* no longer "remain").
- docs/monitoring-logging-design.md: added a "Superseded mechanisms" note
  under Implementation Plan so the Phase 2/3 file-SD + alertmanager_url
  details read as historical, not current wiring.
- context.md: strengthened the status banner to cover the env->service-
  registry and file-SD->http_sd_configs shift; body marked historical.

.env.example is assistant-edit-blocked; updated replacement text provided
to the user separately.

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 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.yml for an optional standalone example stack. A machine can be local (the API host itself) or ssh (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.
