# EventSnap

> A private, QR-code-accessed photo & video sharing platform for weddings, birthdays, and personal events — built for guests, run by you.

---

## What is EventSnap?

At private events, photos and videos are scattered across dozens of guests' phones and never truly shared. Existing solutions (WhatsApp groups, Google Photos) require accounts, expose personal data, and lack event-specific social features.

**EventSnap** gives every guest instant, frictionless access to a shared, living gallery — **no app store, no email, no password.**

A guest scans the QR code on their way in, types their name, and is immediately part of a shared moment. They upload, react, and comment throughout the day. After the event, the host releases the gallery — every guest walks away with a beautiful offline HTML keepsake and the full archive.

**Project type:** Mobile-first PWA — runs in any browser, no installation required.  
**Scale:** Personal / private use — one event at a time, ~100 guests, ~1,000 files.

## Getting Started

### Prerequisites

- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/) (includes Compose plugin)
- A domain name with an A record pointing to your server

### Deploy on a fresh VPS

```bash
# 1. Clone the repository
git clone https://git.mc02.dev/fabi/EventSnap.git
cd EventSnap

# 2. Configure environment
cp .env.example .env
nano .env   # set DOMAIN, JWT_SECRET, ADMIN_PASSWORD_HASH, EVENT_NAME, etc.

# 3. Start the stack
docker compose up -d
```

Caddy automatically obtains a Let's Encrypt certificate on first start. The app is live at `https://DOMAIN` within ~30 seconds.

### Generate required secrets

```bash
# JWT secret (64 random bytes)
openssl rand -hex 64

# Admin password hash (bcrypt, cost 12)
htpasswd -bnBC 12 "" yourpassword | tr -d ':\n'
```

### Environment Variables

See [.env.example](.env.example) for the full list with descriptions and defaults. Key variables:

| Variable | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `DOMAIN` | Public domain for TLS (e.g. `my-wedding.example.com`) |
| `JWT_SECRET` | 64-byte random hex string for signing JWTs |
| `ADMIN_PASSWORD_HASH` | bcrypt hash of the admin dashboard password |
| `EVENT_NAME` | Display name shown to guests |
| `EVENT_SLUG` | URL-safe event identifier |
| `DATABASE_URL` | PostgreSQL connection string |

- `/api/*` and `/media/*` → Rust backend
- Everything else → SvelteKit frontend (`adapter-node`)
- Named volumes: `postgres_data`, `media_data`, `caddy_data`

## Backup

```bash
# Database snapshot
pg_dump $DATABASE_URL | gzip > /media/backups/db_$(date +%Y-%m-%d).sql.gz

# Weekly offsite sync (Hetzner Storage Box or similar)
rsync -az /opt/eventsnap/media/ user@storagebox.example.com:backup/eventsnap/
```

The `/media` volume holds originals, previews, thumbnails, exports, and DB backups — a single path to back up.

## Development Roadmap

Done:
- [x] Project blueprint & architecture
- [x] Monorepo scaffold (`backend/`, `frontend/`, Docker Compose)
- [x] DB schema + SQLx migrations (8 migrations through compression status + case-insensitive unique names)
- [x] Auth flow (join, JWT, 4-digit PIN with bcrypt + 3-attempt/15-min lockout, admin login)
- [x] Upload pipeline (multipart → compression worker via `tokio::sync::Semaphore` → SSE broadcast)
- [x] Client upload queue (IndexedDB, progress, retry, rate-limit auto-resume)
- [x] Gallery feed (list + grid toggle, SSE live updates, hashtag chips, in-memory search + autocomplete)
- [x] Camera capture (`getUserMedia` with front/back toggle, photo + `MediaRecorder` video)
- [x] Host Dashboard (event lock, gallery release, ban modal with hide-uploads choice, promote/demote, user search)
- [x] Admin Dashboard with inner tabs (Stats, Config, Export, Nutzer)
- [x] Export engine: streaming ZIP + SvelteKit-static HTML viewer (see [docs/CONCEPT_HTML_VIEWER.md](docs/CONCEPT_HTML_VIEWER.md))
- [x] Custom rate limiter (per-endpoint, hot-reloadable from `config` table)
- [x] Mobile-first redesign (bottom nav + FAB, see [docs/CONCEPT_MOBILE_UI.md](docs/CONCEPT_MOBILE_UI.md))

Open:
- [ ] Dynamic per-user storage quota enforcement (formula in [PROJECT.md §12](PROJECT.md); only tracking exists today)
- [ ] Own-upload deletion UI in the lightbox (backend route exists)
- [ ] SSE delta-fetch on foreground reconnect (scaffolded in [sse.ts](frontend/src/lib/sse.ts), not wired)
- [ ] Live diashow / slideshow mode — see [docs/CONCEPT_DIASHOW.md](docs/CONCEPT_DIASHOW.md)
- [ ] Individual file download button per post
- [ ] Low-disk alert (< 10 GB free)
- [ ] Event banner / cover image
- [ ] Chunked resumable upload for files > 100 MB
- [ ] Shared Tailwind config between main app and export-viewer
- [ ] End-to-end test event (10+ real devices on cellular)

See [docs/FEATURES.md](docs/FEATURES.md) for the up-to-date capability matrix by role.
Speculative / v2+ ideas live in [docs/IDEAS.md](docs/IDEAS.md).
