# Arr Summary (Greendale)

Flask dashboard aggregating status from the user's self-hosted media stack
— Sonarr, Radarr, SABnzbd, Tautulli, Prowlarr, Ombi — plus Unraid array
stats and a Rotten Tomatoes "what's popular that I don't have yet" feed.
Branded "Media Centre". Since v2.0.0 (2026-08-29) it presents as a
**broadcast information service** in the teletext tradition: numbered
pages you reach by typing the number, status carried by colour, and no
borders or cards anywhere. This replaced — not refined — the earlier
neutral dark card theme, which had itself replaced five novelty themes.
See DESIGN.md for the visual system and the `static/css/base.css` header
for the five disciplines it is held to. Runs as one Docker container on
the user's Unraid home server. Server-side project directory is still named
`greendale`; the container/repo are named `arr-summary`.

## Architecture

- **`app.py`** — single Flask app, session-based single-shared-password
  auth (`LOGIN_PASSWORD` env var, hashed comparison; can be changed at
  runtime via `/api/change-password`, persisted to `settings.json`).
  Supports running behind a reverse-proxy subpath via `SCRIPT_NAME` +
  `ScriptNameMiddleware` + `ProxyFix` (currently deployed at domain root,
  not a subpath, but the capability exists — see `nginx/` configs for
  both).
  - Per-service client functions (`sonarr_get`, `radarr_get`,
    `sabnzbd_get`, `tautulli_get`, `prowlarr_get`, `ombi_get`) each call
    that service's REST API directly with its API key from env vars.
  - The dashboard route (`/`) fetches all services **in parallel** via
    `ThreadPoolExecutor` with a hard 5-second wall-clock deadline — any
    slow/unreachable service degrades to an error dict rather than
    blocking the whole page. This matters for remote/cellular access.
  - Aggressive per-service caching with different TTLs tuned to how often
    each actually changes: Sonarr/Radarr library lists 5 min (the biggest
    latency cost — full Radarr list is ~4.4MB), Tautulli stats 2 min,
    SABnzbd history 10 min, Ombi requests 4 hours, Rotten Tomatoes scrapes
    4 hours. Active streams (Tautulli) and the SABnzbd queue are always
    fetched live, never cached — those need to be current-second accurate.
  - Rotten Tomatoes / IMDB are scraped directly (`requests` +
    `BeautifulSoup`, JSON-LD parsing), not via an official API — brittle
    to upstream HTML changes by nature.
- **`templates/`** — Jinja2 templates. `_shell.html` is the root layout
  every page extends; `_macros.html` holds the shared fragments. Pages are
  `home.html` (P100), `watch.html` (101), `library.html` (102),
  `discover.html` (103), `requests.html` (104), `system.html` (105),
  `activity.html` (106), `settings.html` (900), plus `login.html`, which
  stands alone. The old single-page `dashboard.html` was deleted in the
  v2.0.0 redesign along with `dashboard.css`, `login.css`, `settings.css`
  and `dashboard.js`.
  - Templates carry markup only. CSS and JS live in `static/` and are
    linked via `url_for('static', ...)` so they stay correct behind a
    `SCRIPT_NAME` subpath. Server-rendered config (timezone, script root,
    the page-number map) reaches JS through `<body data-*>`, never
    string-interpolated into a script block.
  - **No `style="..."` attributes for anything static.** A one-off tweak
    belongs in `static/css/teletext.css`, scoped with a structural selector
    or a small modifier class. The only legitimate inline `style=` is a
    per-request computed value Jinja has to interpolate — currently just
    the `bar()` macro's fill width.
  - `_shell.html`'s first `<body>` child is an HTML comment holding the
    **direction contract** for the visual world (thesis, own-world, story,
    first viewport, form, seed key). Leave it in place; it is what a later
    session audits the design against.
- **`static/css/base.css`** — tokens and reset. Its header comment states
  the **five disciplines** the visual world is held to; read them before
  changing anything visual, and treat breaking one as a regression rather
  than a variation:
  1. **No in-between tone.** There are eight colours (the teletext
     primaries). A mid-grey is an ordered dither of two of them, never a
     ninth colour.
  2. **No enclosure.** Nothing is surrounded by a border or a box. There is
     zero `border-radius` in the codebase. Grouping is a coloured field row
     (`.tt-field`), indentation, and weight. This is the single thing the
     world most refuses — the previous design was built on bordered cards.
  3. **One ruler.** Every bar and percentage shares one scale
     (`--bar-cells`) and is drawn only by the `bar()` macro in
     `_macros.html`, so 60% on the array and 60% on an indexer are the same
     width and compare directly. Never restyle a bar per section.
  4. **Every reading carries its direction.** A value shows where it is
     heading. Only drawn where the backend genuinely holds a comparison —
     today that is SABnzbd speed against its stored 7-day average, and
     nowhere else. Do not invent a trend for data with no history.
  5. **Pages differ in stock.** A page holding critical state is set
     heavier than a quiet one (`.tt-field.warn` / `.tt-field.crit`).
     Uniform texture across all the pages is a failure.
  - Colour is **semantic, never decorative**: yellow is the service's own
    voice, cyan is a live value, green is healthy, red is off air, magenta
    means a human must decide (pending requests only), blue is a field
    ground. Reshading means editing the eight tokens here, nothing
    downstream.
  - Type is **one face at exactly two heights** — `--fs` (15px) and `--fs2`
    (30px, double height). Adding a third size breaks the system. The 16px
    literal on inputs is deliberate: it prevents iOS zoom-on-focus.
  - `--ink-dim` (58% white) is the **only** dimmed token allowed to carry
    text; it clears 4.5:1 on black. `--ink-dimmer` (30%) is for graphics
    only — bar troughs, the dither field, separators. Setting text in
    `--ink-dimmer` fails contrast, which is exactly the bug the redesign's
    first inspection round caught.
  - **Navigation is the page number.** Typing any three digits anywhere
    jumps to that page, and `r`/`g`/`y`/`c` fire four of the fastext
    entries — both in `static/js/service.js`. `nav_items` in `app.py` is
    the source of truth for the numbers and is serialised into
    `<body data-pages>`.
  - **Fastext leads everywhere but the index, and closes the index.**
    `FULL_FASTEXT` in `app.py` lists every destination and renders right
    under the header on every page but the index — those pages carry no
    other nav, so it needs no scroll to reach. The index overrides it
    with `HOME_FASTEXT`, the original four-entry row, as its own closing
    line, since its body already lists every destination once. Only
    those original four (Index/Library/Discover/System) carry an `r`/
    `g`/`y`/`c` keyboard shortcut; the rest are click-only.
  - **Nothing is clipped, hidden, or sticky.** All seven page numbers and
    every fastext entry stay visible at every width, reflowing to another
    row rather than scrolling, truncating, or folding into a menu. No
    header is sticky.
- **`export-to-unraid.sh`** — a pre-existing standalone deploy script
  (build image locally → tarball → rsync + `docker load` over SSH) that
  predates the Forgejo pipeline below. Still present, not removed, but the
  Forgejo pipeline is now the primary deploy path going forward.
- **`nginx/`** — reference nginx location-block snippets for subdomain vs.
  subpath reverse-proxy setups; not actually consumed by the app at
  runtime (NPM handles proxying in practice), kept as documentation/config
  reference.

## Local development

```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
python3 app.py
```

Runs on port 5000. Needs the various `*_API_KEY` and `*_HOST`/`ARR_HOST`
env vars (see `.env.example`) to reach real services — without them,
dashboard cards degrade to "error" status individually rather than
crashing the page.

**Expect every service to be offline on the dev machine, and expect
`/api/*` polls to 500.** The dev laptop is not on the network with the
media stack, so Sonarr/Radarr/SABnzbd/Tautulli/Prowlarr/Ombi all refuse
the connection: every card renders its `service_error()` state, the
header pills all read "offline", and the browser console fills with
`500` responses from the live-poll endpoints (`/api/sabnzbd` and
`/api/tautulli` poll on a timer, so they repeat every few seconds).
**This is the normal local baseline, not a regression** — don't go
debugging it, and don't "fix" it. If you need to check whether a 500 is
genuinely yours, stash the working tree and confirm the same response on
a clean checkout.

Because of that, the only reliable way to exercise a card's real
(non-error) rendering locally is to monkey-patch its fetcher and run the
app on a spare port, e.g.:

```bash
LOGIN_PASSWORD=test python3 -c "
import app as a
a.get_unraid_stats = lambda: {'status': 'ok', 'source': 'api', ...}
a.app.run(host='127.0.0.1', port=5099)"
```

Two gotchas when doing this: Jinja's `auto_reload` follows `app.debug`,
which is off, so **template edits need a server restart** — a browser
reload alone will silently serve the cached template. And the login
password comes from `LOGIN_PASSWORD`, so set it explicitly rather than
hunting for the real one.

The listen port comes from `PORT` (default `5000`, matching `EXPOSE`,
`gunicorn.conf.py` and the `${HOST_PORT}:5000` compose mapping — change
all four together or none). Set it when running locally: macOS
`ControlCenter` already holds port 5000, so `python3 app.py` with no
`PORT` will fail to bind on the dev laptop. `.claude/launch.json` sets
`autoPort` so a dev harness can assign a free one, but note that on this
machine the preview sandbox can't read files under `~/Desktop`
("Operation not permitted"), so launching by name fails and running the
app from a shell on an explicit `PORT` is the working path.

## Deployment

See the `deploy-arr-summary` skill for the Forgejo push-to-deploy
pipeline, manual container restart steps, deploy verification, and the
Nginx Proxy Manager / TLS setup and its Cox-port-80/DNS-01 constraint.

## Logins

See the `manage-accounts` skill for the multi-user vs. legacy
single-shared-password login modes and the `manage_users.py` CLI.

**Never put a real password in the repo** — not in `app.py`, not in
`settings.json` committed to git, not in a fixture. `.env` and `data/`
are gitignored and excluded from the deploy rsync precisely so secrets
have somewhere to live; everything else here is pushed to Forgejo.

A key saved through the Settings page overrides the corresponding
`.env` value at startup (see the block after the `*_API_KEY` reads in
`app.py`); `.env` remains the source of truth for anything never
overridden there. Both paths need a container restart to take effect,
since the keys are read once at import.
