Enhance the dashboard API with new endpoints for managing DHCP network boot options, allowing devices to enable or disable network boot via POST requests. Update the device action handling to include a 'reboot' action, specifically for network devices. Modify the home.html template to display the current state of network boot and provide a button for disabling it. Update provisioning scripts to disable network boot after deployment or backup completion, ensuring devices boot from eMMC on the next startup. Improve user feedback and error handling throughout the changes.
CM4 Provisioning Dashboard
Flask web UI for CM4 eMMC provisioning: public home (deploy only) and admin (login required) for images, cloud-init, portal files, and users.
Public home (/)
- No login. Anyone can:
- See current status (idle / connecting / flashing / backup / done / error).
- Deploy or Backup when a device is connected (USB boot or network).
- See which image is set as golden (used for Deploy).
- View recent log and “How to connect” steps.
Layout: compact two columns (status + deploy on the left; golden info, log, and connect on the right).
Admin (/admin)
Login required. First user: open /login, enter any username and a password (min 6 characters) to create the first admin account.
Admin can:
- Backup images (in
backups/): upload, rename, delete, shrink/compress, set as golden, download. - Cloud-init images (in
cloudinit-images/): list, set as golden, rename, delete, download. - Build cloud-init image: download latest Raspberry Pi OS (arm64), inject cloud-init, edit user-data/meta-data/network-config, use templates. Output goes to cloud-init images; optionally set as golden after build.
- Portal files (in
portal-files/): upload files that are served at/files/<name>so cloud-init canwgetorcurlthem on first boot (e.g.curl -fsSL "http://SERVER/files/bootstrap.sh" -o /tmp/bootstrap.sh). - Golden image: any backup or cloud-init image can be set as golden (no single “golden file”; choose from either list).
- Admin users: add users, change password.
- Activity logs: view recent admin actions.
Backup images and cloud-init images live in separate folders (backups/ and cloudinit-images/).
Run locally (development)
cd dashboard
pip install -r requirements.txt # Flask, werkzeug
python3 app.py
# Open http://localhost:5000 (home), http://localhost:5000/admin (login first)
Run in LXC (Proxmox)
Deploy with scripts/deploy-to-proxmox.sh; it installs the dashboard and pushes home.html, login.html, admin.html. Optional: create /opt/cm4-provisioning/dashboard.env with CM4_DASHBOARD_SECRET_KEY=<random> so session logins persist across restarts (deploy script can create this automatically).
Environment (optional)
CM4_PROVISIONING_DIR– base path (default:/var/lib/cm4-provisioning).CM4_BACKUPS_DIR– backups directory (default:…/backups).CM4_CLOUDINIT_IMAGES_DIR– cloud-init built images (default:…/cloudinit-images).CM4_PORTAL_FILES_DIR– files served at/files/(default:…/portal-files).CM4_GOLDEN_IMAGE– path to golden image (symlink to chosen backup or cloud-init image).CM4_DASHBOARD_SECRET_KEY– secret for session cookies (set in production).CM4_DASHBOARD_DB– SQLite path for admin users and logs (default:…/dashboard.db).CM4_STATUS_FILE,CM4_LOG_FILE, etc. – as before for status and build.
