Update all documentation to current MySQL + React SPA + vm_api.py architecture
README, docs/{ARCHITECTURE,CONFIGURATION,INSTALL,OPERATIONS,SECURITY,TESTING}
and CHANGELOG were stale: they described the original SQLite + CardDAV +
zero-JS vm_web portal. Brought them in line with the actual code:
- MySQL (PyMySQL) as the default store; SQLite fallback only
- vm_contacts resolves from the MySQL contacts table (file/google/carddav removed)
- React SPA frontend + vm_api.py JSON API (:8098); vm_web.py now serves /audio/
- Apache vhost proxies /api/ -> :8098, /audio/ -> :8099, serves the SPA
- CSP relaxed to script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' (UI is now JavaScript)
- Added CHANGELOG 1.2.0 entry for the React/vm_api frontend work

## Storage: MySQL, with a SQLite escape hatch
|
||||
|
||||
`vm_store.py` is backend-agnostic. It defaults to **MySQL (PyMySQL)** when a
|
||||
credentials source is present (`/opt/vm-transcribe/db_secret`, mode `640
|
||||
root:root`, or `VM_MYSQL_*` env vars). If neither exists it falls back to the
|
||||
original SQLite file (`VM_DB`).
|
||||
|
||||
The same `asterisk` MySQL database is shared with Asterisk's own CDR
|
||||
(`cdr_adaptive_odbc` + `res_odbc` + the MariaDB ODBC driver), so voicemail
|
||||
metadata and call records live side by side. This is why the migration kept the
|
||||
`asterisk` DB and a least-privilege `asterisk` user rather than spinning up a
|
||||
separate instance.
|
||||
|
||||
The connection object returned by `connect()` mimics the `sqlite3` cursor surface
|
||||
callers use (`.execute()`/`.executemany()`, `.commit()`, `.close()`,
|
||||
`.fetchone()`, `.fetchall()`, `lastrowid`, and `row['col']` access), so the rest
|
||||
of the code is written once and works against either backend.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Two backends in front of one store
|
||||
|
||||
- **`vm_api.py` (FastAPI, :8098)** — the JSON API consumed by the React SPA.
|
||||
Login/logout, message list, mark-read, delete, settings, and full contacts
|
||||
CRUD (`GET/POST /api/contacts`, `GET/PUT/DELETE /api/contacts/{id}`,
|
||||
`/api/contacts/import_vcf`, `/api/contacts/history/{number}`,
|
||||
`/api/add_contact`, `/api/contacts/delete_all`). Apache proxies `/api/` here.
|
||||
- **`vm_web.py` (FastAPI, :8099)** — the original server-rendered HTML portal.
|
||||
It still runs and now primarily serves `/audio/` playback and `/healthz`;
|
||||
Apache proxies `/audio/` here. The interactive UI has moved to the React SPA.
|
||||
|
||||
Both read and write the same MySQL `messages` / `contacts` tables, so the React
|
||||
UI and the legacy endpoints never disagree.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Frontend: React SPA + Vite
|
||||
|
||||
The portal UI is a React app (`/home/jp/Work/voicemail-ui`) using
|
||||
`react-router-dom`, TanStack Query, and a Vite build. It is built to `dist/` and
|
||||
rsync'd to `/home/txt3/domains/vm.txt3.net/public_html/`. Apache serves the
|
||||
static build and uses an SPA fallback (any non-`/api/`, non-`/audio/` path
|
||||
returns `index.html`). All data goes through `/api/` → `vm_api.py`.
|
||||
|
||||
Because the UI is JavaScript, the Apache CSP is **relaxed** to
|
||||
`script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'` (see SECURITY.md). The dark "cyber" theme
|
||||
uses neon accents; callers get a dropdown (⋮) on each message/contact row with
|
||||
**Call back** (`tel:` link from sanitised digits) and **Lookup number** (opens a
|
||||
who-called.co.uk search in a new tab, using the 0-prefixed UK number).

|
||||
## Why the portal is its own service behind Apache
|
||||
## Contacts: MySQL only
|
||||
|
||||
- A long-running `uvicorn` is the natural fit; Asterisk's `mailcmd` model
|
||||
(one short-lived process per call) is wrong for a web app.
|
||||
- It binds **127.0.0.1:8099 only** (`IPAddressAllow=localhost` in the unit), so
|
||||
the only way in is the Apache reverse proxy, which terminates TLS and enforces
|
||||
headers.
|
||||
- Running as the `asterisk` user means it can read `voicemail.conf` (for PIN
|
||||
auth) and the spool (for future direct-file features) without widening root.
|
||||
`vm_contacts.py` resolves caller IDs **exclusively** from the MySQL `contacts`
|
||||
table. The older `file` / `google` / `carddav` backends were removed.
|
||||
|
||||
- Numbers are stored canonical E.164; `normalize_uk()` collapses `+44…` and
|
||||
`0…` (and `0044…`) forms so both match.
|
||||
- Matching uses the full digit string (up to 15 digits), not just last-9, and
|
||||
guards against emoji/placeholder contacts shadowing real names.
|
||||
- Creating/updating a contact backfills `messages.contact_name` /
|
||||
`contact_email` for every callerid that matches (spaces/quotes stripped before
|
||||
the LIKE).
|
||||
- `vm_import_contacts.py` loads a vCard/CSV export into the table.

## 2. Core pipeline (mailcmd + venv)
|
||||
|
||||
The `install.sh` script builds the venv, installs `faster-whisper`, deploys the
|
||||
mailcmd scripts, seeds `telegram.conf`, pre-caches the whisper model **as the
|
||||
asterisk user**, and rewrites `voicemail.conf`'s `mailcmd=`.
|
||||
|
||||
> `install.sh` reads sources from `/home/jp/asterisk-vm` (the deploy path in
|
||||
> AGENTS.md). Either symlink/clobber that path to this repo, or edit the `SRC=`
|
||||
> line at the top of `scripts/install.sh` before running.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo scripts/install.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
That script:
|
||||
|
||||
1. creates `/opt/vm-transcribe` and `/opt/vm-transcribe/models` owned by `asterisk`
|
||||
2. builds a venv and installs `faster-whisper`
|
||||
3. installs the Python modules
|
||||
4. seeds `telegram.conf` / `contacts.conf` if absent (never overwrites)
|
||||
5. creates `/var/log/asterisk/vm_mailcmd.log`
|
||||
6. **pre-downloads the whisper model as the `asterisk` user** — do not skip
|
||||
this, or the first real voicemail pays a ~150 MB download while the caller
|
||||
waits for their notification

## 5. Apache vhost + TLS
|
||||
## 6. React frontend (build + deploy)
|
||||
|
||||
The interactive UI is a React SPA built in `/home/jp/Work/voicemail-ui`:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd /home/jp/Work/voicemail-ui
|
||||
npm install
|
||||
npm run build # outputs dist/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Deploy the static build to the web root (Apache serves it and proxies `/api/`
|
||||
to :8098 and `/audio/` to :8099):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo -A rsync -a --exclude node_modules --exclude dist \
|
||||
/home/jp/Work/voicemail-ui/ /home/txt3/domains/vm.txt3.net/public_html/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Keep this repo's copy in sync for documentation/commit purposes:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|

||||
## 7. Apache vhost + TLS
|
||||
|
||||
**Order matters.** Installing a vhost that references a cert which does not yet
|
||||
exist breaks `apache2ctl configtest`, which blocks reloads for *every* site on
|
||||
the box. So: DNS → cert → full vhost.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5a. DNS
|
||||
### 7a. DNS
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
dig +short vm.example.com A # must return your ORIGIN ip
|
||||
dig +short vm.txt3.net A # must return your ORIGIN ip
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Behind Cloudflare, set the record to **DNS only (grey cloud)** first, or the
|
||||
HTTP-01 challenge is intercepted by the edge.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5b. Minimal :80 vhost, so certbot can answer the challenge
|
||||
### 7b. Minimal :80 vhost, so certbot can answer the challenge
|
||||
|
||||
```bash

||||

|
||||
sudo cp apache/vm.txt3.net-step1.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/vm.example.com.conf
|

|
||||

||||

|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### 5d. Full vhost — HTTPS + reverse proxy
|
||||
### 7d. Full vhost — HTTPS + reverse proxy
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo a2enmod proxy proxy_http headers rewrite ssl

|
||||
# edit ServerName, cert paths, IPs
|
||||
sudo install -d /var/www/vm.example.com/public_html/.well-known/acme-challenge
|
||||
sudo cp apache/vm.txt3.net.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/vm.txt3.net.conf
|
||||
# edit ServerName, cert paths, IPs, DocumentRoot
|
||||
sudo install -d /var/www/vm.txt3.net/public_html/.well-known/acme-challenge
|
||||
sudo apache2ctl configtest && sudo systemctl reload apache2
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 5e. Verify through the real hostname
|
||||
The shipped `apache/vm.txt3.net.conf` already proxies `/api/` → :8098,
|
||||
`/audio/` → :8099, serves the React `dist` as `DocumentRoot`, and adds an SPA
|
||||
fallback (`RewriteRule ^ /index.html`).
