Two separate things had to be wrong for this, and both were. The frame's own policy locked it out. Plugin UIs moved to their own origin so a plugin cannot act as the logged-in operator, and the plugin origin names the console as the only page allowed to frame it. It built that name from the incoming request — but Nitro hands the app a synthetic request with no TLS socket, so an HTTPS console reads back as `http:`. The header said `frame-ancestors http://host:47992` while the operator was on `https://host:47992`, and the browser refused the frame outright (ERR_BLOCKED_BY_RESPONSE). Nothing on screen said so; the reason was only in devtools. The scheme now comes from the listener's own TLS state, stamped at bind time, with x-forwarded-proto winning when something in front terminated TLS for us — the one case where the browser's scheme is not ours. And the port was shut. 47993 was added to the firewall definitions, but an already-open firewall does not pick a new port up: ufw expands an app profile into rules when you allow it and keeps those, so editing the profile on upgrade changes nothing, and firewalld needs a reload. Every upgraded Linux host kept a 47992-only rule, silently. The packages now notice on upgrade and print the one command that fixes it, without touching the running firewall. The NixOS module and the container image never learned the port at all; both now open it. Also: the console no longer mounts the frame while it is still checking whether that origin is reachable. A firewalled port drops rather than refuses, so the check hangs for the browser's whole connect timeout, and mounting meanwhile is exactly the empty panel with no explanation. The card that follows now names both causes it can be — an untrusted certificate for that port, or a closed one — because from a browser the two are indistinguishable. The rule is now a pure function with tests, since its failure mode is a well-formed header that only a browser rejects. Verified on glass against home-worker-5 (.21) and its ROM Manager plugin: the frame was refused before, renders the plugin's UI after.
punktfunk web — management console
The browser UI for the punktfunk host's management REST API (crates/punktfunk-host/src/mgmt.rs,
OpenAPI at api/openapi.json). It shows live status, host capabilities, paired
clients, the pairing-PIN flow, and session controls.
Stack: TanStack Start (full SSR) on Bun via Nitro v2 (bun preset) · React
Query through orval codegen from the OpenAPI spec · @unom/ui
— the shared punktfunk/unom design system the marketing site + docs are built on (Tailwind v4,
animated components on the violet brand over dark chrome) ·
Paraglide i18n (en/de). Package manager + runtime: Bun.
The @unom registry mapping lives in .npmrc; the auth token comes from
~/.npmrc (or a CI secret).
Develop
# from web/ — Bun is the toolchain (https://bun.sh)
bun install # runs `prepare` → codegen (orval + paraglide)
bun run dev # http://localhost:47992
# The dev server proxies /api → https://127.0.0.1:47990 (the host's mgmt API; it serves HTTPS
# with the host's self-signed identity cert — the dev proxy uses `secure: false`).
# Point it elsewhere: PUNKTFUNK_MGMT_URL=https://<host>:47990 bun run dev
Start a host with the management API up:
# from the repo root — `serve` brings up the native punktfunk/1 plane + the mgmt API (the console
# only needs the mgmt API; add --gamestream too if you also want the Moonlight surface):
WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-kde XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE \
cargo run -rp punktfunk-host -- serve
# loopback :47990, no token (a token is mandatory for non-loopback binds).
The management token is server-side only — set PUNKTFUNK_MGMT_TOKEN in the console's
environment and the BFF injects it when proxying (server/routes/api/[...].ts). It never reaches
the browser, so there is no token field in the UI; the browser only ever holds the session cookie.
Build & run (Nitro + Bun)
The console runs on bun (Bun.serve is a Bun API — node can't run it): Nitro's bun preset
plus a custom entry (nitro-entry/bun-https.mjs) that calls Bun.serve({ tls }), so it serves
HTTPS (HTTP/1.1 over TLS) with the host's own identity cert (the cert native clients already
pin). One trust anchor across the data plane, the mgmt API, and this console. (No HTTP/2 — Bun.serve
has no h2 server — and no HTTP/3, which a browser won't speak against this self-signed, no-SAN host
cert; a browser-trusted, SAN-matching cert + a fronting server would be needed, out of scope for a
LAN console.)
bun run build # → .output/ (Nitro `bun` preset + our Bun.serve TLS entry)
PORT=47992 HOST=0.0.0.0 \
PUNKTFUNK_UI_PASSWORD=… PUNKTFUNK_MGMT_TOKEN=… \
PUNKTFUNK_MGMT_URL=https://127.0.0.1:47990 \
PUNKTFUNK_UI_TLS_CERT=~/.config/punktfunk/cert.pem \
PUNKTFUNK_UI_TLS_KEY=~/.config/punktfunk/key.pem PUNKTFUNK_UI_SECURE=1 \
bun run start # = bun run .output/server/index.mjs
# PUNKTFUNK_UI_TLS_* unset ⇒ plain HTTP (local dev); both set ⇒ HTTPS (HTTP/1.1 over TLS).
# The host's self-signed mgmt cert is accepted only for the proxy's loopback hop, scoped in code
# (Bun per-request TLS: server/routes/api/[...].ts) — no process-wide NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED.
# See .env.example.
bun run lint # tsc --noEmit
The built Nitro bun server SSR-renders the app and is the only thing exposed on the LAN.
Run it on the same box as the host; it serves the console over HTTPS on :47992 (or $PORT).
Auth (backend-for-frontend)
Single-user, login-gated. Config via env (see .env.example):
- The console requires a login (
PUNKTFUNK_UI_PASSWORD). On success the server sets a sealed session cookie (h3useSession, AES-GCM).server/middleware/auth.tsgates every request — pages redirect to/login,/apireturns 401 — and fails closed (503) ifPUNKTFUNK_UI_PASSWORDis unset, so a misconfigured LAN server admits no one. - The bearer-token admin surface of the management API is loopback-only — the host honors a
bearer token only from a loopback peer, so the admin API is never LAN-exposed. The web server
holds
PUNKTFUNK_MGMT_TOKENserver-side and injects it when proxying/api/**→PUNKTFUNK_MGMT_URL(loopback;server/routes/api/[...].ts). The token never reaches the browser; the browser only ever holds the session cookie. (The host also binds the read-only surface — host status + the game library — to the LAN so paired native clients can fetch it directly over mTLS; that path uses client certs, not the token, and never touches this console.)
So: browser ──password──▶ web server (session cookie) ──mgmt token, server-side──▶ mgmt API.
Run the host with a matching token: cargo run -rp punktfunk-host -- serve +
PUNKTFUNK_MGMT_TOKEN=… (or --mgmt-token …). vite dev has no gate (localhost-only) and
proxies straight to the loopback mgmt API.
Toolchain notes (load-bearing): TanStack Start's
start-plugin-corepeer-requires Vite ≥ 7 — on Vite 6 the build's prerender/post-build hook silently doesn't run.@vitejs/plugin-reactmust match Vite (v5 ↔ Vite 7, v6 ↔ Vite 8); it's required even for dev (TanStack Start's dev mode needs the React Refresh runtime, else a blank screen). Nitro is the server target — without itvite buildonly emits client+SSR bundles, no deployable server. The Nitrobunpreset makes.output/server/index.mjsBun-runnable.
Codegen
Generated code is not committed (gitignored) — reproduced from sources:
bun run codegen— regenerate the API client (orval) + i18n runtime (paraglide). Runs onbun install(prepare) and beforedev/build(pre*for orval; the Vite plugin compiles paraglide on dev/build).- After a management-API change, regenerate the spec on the Rust side first:
cargo run -p punktfunk-host -- openapi > api/openapi.json, thenbun run api:gen.
