roof a338836bb8 add security fixes, port hardening, and expanded QA coverage
Security fixes:
- Replace debug=True with env-driven FLASK_DEBUG in app.py
- Add _safe_path helper and path-traversal protection to all 6 file routes
  in file_manager.py
- Add peer_name regex and input validation (public_key, name, endpoint_ip)
  in wireguard_manager.py
- Stop returning private key from GET /api/wireguard/keys; return only
  public_key + has_private_key boolean
- Fix is_local_request() XFF bypass by checking remote_addr only, ignoring
  X-Forwarded-For
- Remove duplicate get_all_configs / get_config_summary methods from
  config_manager.py

DevOps:
- Bind 6 internal service ports to 127.0.0.1 in docker-compose.yml
  (radicale, webdav, api, webui, rainloop, filegator)
- Move WebDAV credentials to env vars (WEBDAV_USER, WEBDAV_PASS)
- Pin flask, flask-cors, requests, cryptography, docker to secure minimum
  versions in requirements.txt

QA (560 tests, 0 failures):
- tests/test_wireguard_endpoints.py: 18 new endpoint tests
- tests/test_file_endpoints.py: 24 new endpoint tests incl. path traversal
- tests/test_container_manager.py: expanded from 2 to 30 tests
- tests/test_config_backup_restore_http.py: 25 new tests (new file)
- tests/test_config_apply.py: 9 new tests (new file)

Docs:
- Rewrite README.md with accurate architecture, ports, env vars, security notes
- Rewrite QUICKSTART.md with verified commands

# Quick Start
This guide walks through a first-time PIC installation from a clean Linux host.
---
## Prerequisites
- Linux host with the WireGuard kernel module (`modprobe wireguard` to verify)
- Docker Engine and Docker Compose installed
- Python 3.10+ (needed for `make setup` only)
- 2 GB+ RAM, 10 GB+ disk
---
## 1. Clone the repository
```bash
git clone <repo-url> pic
cd pic
```
---
## 2. Configure the environment
Copy the example environment file and edit it:
```bash
cp .env.example .env
```
Open `.env` and set at minimum:
```
WEBDAV_PASS=changeme
```
`WEBDAV_PASS` must be set before starting — the WebDAV container will fail to start without it.
All other variables have working defaults. See the Configuration section in [README.md](README.md) for the full list.
---
## 3. Run setup
`make setup` installs system dependencies, generates WireGuard keys, and writes all required config files under `config/`:
```bash
make check-deps # installs docker, python3-cryptography, etc. via apt
make setup # generates keys and writes configs
```
To customise the cell identity at setup time, pass overrides on the command line:
```bash
CELL_NAME=myhome CELL_DOMAIN=cell VPN_ADDRESS=10.0.0.1/24 WG_PORT=51820 make setup
```
`VPN_ADDRESS` must be an RFC-1918 address (e.g. `10.0.0.1/24`).
---
## 4. Start the stack
```bash
make start
```
This builds the `cell-api` and `cell-webui` images and starts all 13 containers. The first run takes a few minutes while images are pulled and built.
Check that everything came up:
```bash
make status
```
You should see all containers in the `Up` state and the API responding at `http://localhost:3000/health`.
---
## 5. Open the web UI
Open a browser and go to:
```
http://<host-ip>:8081
```
If you are running locally:
```
http://localhost:8081
```
The sidebar contains: Dashboard, Peers, Network Services, WireGuard, Email, Calendar, Files, Routing, Vault, Containers, Cell Network, Logs, Settings.
---
## 6. Set cell identity
Go to **Settings** in the sidebar.
Set your:
- **Cell name** — a short identifier, e.g. `myhome`
- **Domain** — the TLD your cell will use internally, e.g. `cell`
- **VPN IP range** — the CIDR for WireGuard peers, e.g. `10.0.0.0/24`
After saving, the UI will show a banner asking you to apply the changes. Click **Apply Now**. The containers will restart briefly to pick up the new configuration.
---
## 7. Add a WireGuard peer
Go to **WireGuard** in the sidebar.
1. Click **Add Peer**.
2. Enter a name for the peer (e.g. `laptop`).
3. The API generates a key pair and assigns the next available VPN IP automatically.
4. Click the QR code icon to display the peer config as a QR code.
5. Scan the QR code with a WireGuard client (Android, iOS, or the WireGuard desktop app).
The peer config sets your cell as the DNS server. Once connected, `*.cell` names resolve through the cell's CoreDNS.
To manage peers from the command line:
```bash
make list-peers
make add-peer PEER_NAME=phone PEER_IP=10.0.0.3 PEER_KEY=<base64-pubkey>
```
---
## 8. Day-to-day operations
```bash
# Follow logs from all services
make logs
# Follow logs from a single service
make logs-api
make logs-wireguard
make logs-caddy
# Check container status and API health
make status
# Open a shell inside a container
make shell-api
make shell-dns
```
---
## 9. Backup
Before making significant changes, create a backup:
```bash
make backup
```
This archives `config/` and `data/` into `backups/cell-backup-<timestamp>.tar.gz`.
To list available backups:
```bash
make restore
```
To restore manually:
```bash
tar -xzf backups/cell-backup-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.tar.gz
make start
```
Backup and restore is also available in the UI under **Settings**.
---
## 10. Updating PIC
```bash
make update
```
This runs `git pull`, then rebuilds and restarts all containers. If `config/` is missing (e.g. after a fresh clone), it runs `make setup` automatically.
---
## Troubleshooting
**Containers not starting**
```bash
make logs
make logs-api
```
Look for errors related to missing config files or port conflicts.
**Port 53 already in use**
On Ubuntu/Debian, `systemd-resolved` listens on port 53. Disable it:
```bash
sudo systemctl disable --now systemd-resolved
sudo rm /etc/resolv.conf
echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf
```
Then run `make start` again.
**WebDAV container exits immediately**
`WEBDAV_PASS` is not set in `.env`. Set it and run `make start` again.
**WireGuard container fails to load kernel module**
Ensure the WireGuard kernel module is available:
```bash
sudo modprobe wireguard
```
On some minimal installs you may need to install `wireguard-tools` and the kernel headers for your running kernel.
**API returns 503 or UI shows "Backend Unavailable"**
The Flask API may still be starting. Wait 1015 seconds after `make start` and refresh. If it persists:
```bash
make logs-api
```
**Config changes not taking effect**
After changing identity or service settings in the UI, a yellow banner appears at the top of the page. Click **Apply Now** to restart the affected containers.
