Two bugs surfaced while running the new E2E suite, plus a small test hook: - jwt.rs: add a per-token `jti: Uuid` claim. Without it, two `create_token` calls in the same wall-clock second for the same (sub, role, event_id) produced identical JWT bytes — and identical sha256(token) hashes — which then collided on `session.token_hash UNIQUE` with a 500. Manifests in real use when an admin clicks "Anmelden" twice fast. - auth/handlers.rs: reject display names containing 0x00. Postgres rejects NUL in TEXT columns with `invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8"` and the request leaks back as a 500. Now returns 400 with a clean message. - handlers/test_admin.rs + main.rs: new POST /api/v1/admin/__truncate route, compiled in always but only **registered** when EVENTSNAP_TEST_MODE=1 is set on startup. Truncates every event-scoped table, reseeds config from migration defaults, wipes media on disk, and clears the in-memory rate limiter. RequireAdmin-gated so it's not anonymous even in test mode. In production builds (no env var) the route returns 404 — verified by the startup log message. - services/rate_limiter.rs: add `clear()` so the truncate handler can wipe the in-memory window map between tests. - Dockerfile: bump rust:1.87 → rust:1.88 (current dep tree needs it) and COPY ./migrations into the build context so the `sqlx::migrate!()` macro can resolve at compile time.

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 (includes Compose plugin)
- A domain name with an A record pointing to your server
Deploy on a fresh VPS
# 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
# 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 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
# 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:
- Project blueprint & architecture
- Monorepo scaffold (
backend/,frontend/, Docker Compose) - DB schema + SQLx migrations (8 migrations through compression status + case-insensitive unique names)
- Auth flow (join, JWT, 4-digit PIN with bcrypt + 3-attempt/15-min lockout, admin login)
- Upload pipeline (multipart → compression worker via
tokio::sync::Semaphore→ SSE broadcast) - Client upload queue (IndexedDB, progress, retry, rate-limit auto-resume)
- Gallery feed (list + grid toggle, SSE live updates, hashtag chips, in-memory search + autocomplete)
- Camera capture (
getUserMediawith front/back toggle, photo +MediaRecordervideo) - Host Dashboard (event lock, gallery release, ban modal with hide-uploads choice, promote/demote, user search)
- Admin Dashboard with inner tabs (Stats, Config, Export, Nutzer)
- Export engine: streaming ZIP + SvelteKit-static HTML viewer (see docs/CONCEPT_HTML_VIEWER.md)
- Custom rate limiter (per-endpoint, hot-reloadable from
configtable) - Mobile-first redesign (bottom nav + FAB, see docs/CONCEPT_MOBILE_UI.md)
Open:
- Dynamic per-user storage quota enforcement (formula in PROJECT.md §12; only tracking exists today)
- Own-upload deletion UI in the lightbox (backend route exists)
- SSE delta-fetch on foreground reconnect (scaffolded in sse.ts, not wired)
- Live diashow / slideshow mode — see 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 for the up-to-date capability matrix by role. Speculative / v2+ ideas live in docs/IDEAS.md.
