## API Endpoints
|
||||
|
||||
### Upload Attachment
|
||||
```
|
||||
POST /api/upload/attachment
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Accepts multipart/form-data with 'attachment' field
|
||||
- Returns: `{"file_path": "attachments/timestamp_random_filename.ext"}`
|
||||
- Validates file types: PDF, images, text, Office documents
|
||||
- Generates secure filenames with timestamp and random suffix
|
||||
|
||||
### Download Attachment
|
||||
```
|
||||
GET /api/attachments/download?path={relative_path}
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Requires authentication
|
||||
- Returns file content for download
|
||||
- Path validation prevents directory traversal
|
||||
|
||||
### Delete Attachment
|
||||
```
|
||||
DELETE /api/attachments/delete?path={relative_path}
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Requires authentication
|
||||
- Removes file from storage
|
||||
- Automatic cleanup on record deletion
|
||||
|
||||
## Database Schema Changes
|
||||
|
||||
### FuelRecord
|
||||
```sql
|
||||
ALTER TABLE fuel_record ADD COLUMN document_path VARCHAR(255);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### RecurringExpense
|
||||
```sql
|
||||
ALTER TABLE recurring_expense ADD COLUMN document_path VARCHAR(255);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### ServiceRecord
|
||||
No changes needed - already had `document_path` field.
|
||||
|
||||
## Security Features
|
||||
|
||||
### Path Injection Prevention
|
||||
- Path normalization using `os.path.normpath()`
|
||||
- Rejection of paths containing ".."
|
||||
- Rejection of absolute paths (starting with "/")
|
||||
- Double verification that resolved path is within `/app/uploads/`
|
||||
- Use of `os.path.isfile()` instead of `os.path.exists()`
|
||||
|
||||
### File Upload Security
|
||||
- Allowed file type validation on server side
|
||||
- Secure filename generation with timestamp and random suffix
|
||||
- Files stored with restrictive permissions (0o644)
|
||||
- Authentication required for all attachment operations
|
||||
|
||||
### Data Privacy
|
||||
- Users can only access attachments through their own vehicles
|
||||
- Vehicle ownership verification on all operations
|
||||
- No exposure of internal file system paths
|
||||
- No stack trace information exposed to users
|
||||
|
||||
## Mobile Camera Support
|
||||
|
||||
All file input fields now include the `capture="environment"` attribute, which:
|
||||
- Prompts mobile users to use their device camera
|
||||
- Falls back to file picker if camera is not available
|
||||
- Uses rear camera by default (environment)
|
||||
- Works on iOS, Android, and modern mobile browsers
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<input type="file"
|
||||
id="fuel-attachment"
|
||||
name="attachment"
|
||||
accept="image/*,.pdf,.txt"
|
||||
capture="environment">
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## File Storage
|
||||
|
||||
### Location
|
||||
- Base directory: `/app/uploads/attachments/`
|
||||
- Created automatically if it doesn't exist
|
||||
- Persists across container restarts (volume mounted)
|
||||
|
||||
### Filename Format
|
||||
```
|
||||
{timestamp}_{random_suffix}_{original_filename}
|
||||
```
|
||||
Example: `20231112153045_a1b2c3d4_receipt.pdf`
|
||||
|
||||
### Benefits
|
||||
- Prevents filename collisions
|
||||
- Maintains original filename for user reference
|
||||
- Sortable by upload time
|
||||
- Unique random component prevents guessing
|
||||
|
||||

### Security Testing
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Path Traversal Attempt**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -X GET "http://localhost:5000/api/attachments/download?path=../../etc/passwd" \
|
||||
-H "Cookie: session=..."
|
||||
# Expected: 403 Invalid file path
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Invalid File Type Upload**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -X POST "http://localhost:5000/api/upload/attachment" \
|
||||
-F "attachment=@malicious.exe" \
|
||||
-H "Cookie: session=..."
|
||||
# Expected: 400 Invalid file type
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Unauthorized Access**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -X GET "http://localhost:5000/api/attachments/download?path=attachments/file.pdf"
|
||||
# Expected: 401/302 Redirect to login
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Integration Points
|
||||
|
||||
### Export Functionality
|
||||
- Attachment paths are included in CSV exports
|
||||
- Users can reference attachment filenames in exported data
|
||||
|
||||
### Data Backup
|
||||
- Attachments included in backup/restore operations
|
||||
- Files stored in mounted volume for persistence
|
||||
|
||||
### UI Display
|
||||
- All list views show attachment status
|
||||
- Download links provided where attachments exist
|
||||
- "None" displayed when no attachment present
|
||||
|
||||
## Migration Process
|
||||
|
||||
### For Existing Installations
|
||||
|
||||
1. Pull latest code
|
||||
2. Restart container
|
||||
3. Migration runs automatically via `entrypoint.sh`
|
||||
4. Existing records remain intact
|
||||
5. New `document_path` columns available for new records
|
||||
|
||||
### Manual Migration (if needed)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Inside Docker container
|
||||
cd /app/backend
|
||||
python migrate_attachments.py
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Rollback Procedure
|
||||
|
||||
If issues arise:
|
||||
|
||||
1. The `document_path` columns are nullable, so removing them won't break existing functionality
|
||||
2. To rollback database changes:
|
||||
```sql
|
||||
ALTER TABLE fuel_record DROP COLUMN document_path;
|
||||
ALTER TABLE recurring_expense DROP COLUMN document_path;
|
||||
```
|
||||
3. Revert code to previous commit
|
||||
4. Restart application
|
||||
|
||||
## Future Enhancements (Optional)
|
||||
|
||||
Potential improvements not included in this implementation:
|
||||
- [ ] Multiple attachments per record
|
||||
- [ ] Image thumbnail preview in list views
|
||||
- [ ] Inline image viewer (instead of download)
|
||||
- [ ] Attachment file size limits configuration
|
||||
- [ ] Automatic image compression
|
||||
- [ ] Orphaned file cleanup job
|
||||
- [ ] Attachment search functionality
|
||||
- [ ] Cloud storage integration (S3, etc.)
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
- File uploads are processed synchronously but complete quickly for typical file sizes
|
||||
- No performance impact on record listing (document_path is just a string column)
|
||||
- File downloads served directly by Flask (consider nginx for production at scale)
|
||||
- No database queries for file serving (direct file system access)
|
||||
|
||||
## Compliance and Privacy
|
||||
|
||||
- All files stored locally on server (no third-party services)
|
||||
- No metadata collection or tracking
|
||||
- Files only accessible by authenticated vehicle owner
|
||||
- Compliant with data sovereignty requirements
|
||||
- No external API calls for attachment handling
|
||||
|
||||
## Developer Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Adding Attachment Support to New Models
|
||||
|
||||
To add attachment support to another model:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Add column to model:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
document_path = db.Column(db.String(255))
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. Create migration to add column to existing databases
|
||||
|
||||
3. Update GET endpoint to return `document_path`
|
||||
|
||||
4. Update POST/PUT endpoints to accept `document_path`
|
||||
|
||||
5. Update DELETE endpoint to cleanup file:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
if record.document_path:
|
||||
full_path = os.path.join('/app/uploads', record.document_path)
|
||||
if os.path.isfile(full_path):
|
||||
os.remove(full_path)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
6. Update frontend to show download link and accept file upload
|
||||
|
||||
### Common Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
**Upload Pattern:**
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// 1. Upload file
|
||||
const formData = new FormData();
|
||||
formData.append('attachment', fileInput.files[0]);
|
||||
const uploadResp = await fetch('/api/upload/attachment', {
|
||||
method: 'POST',
|
||||
credentials: 'include',
|
||||
body: formData
|
||||
});
|
||||
const { file_path } = await uploadResp.json();
|
||||
|
||||
// 2. Include file_path in record data
|
||||
const recordData = {
|
||||
// ... other fields
|
||||
document_path: file_path
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Download Link Pattern:**
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
${record.document_path ?
|
||||
`<a href="/api/attachments/download?path=${encodeURIComponent(record.document_path)}">Download</a>` :
|
||||
'None'}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Support and Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Common Issues
|
||||
|
||||
**Issue: Attachments not showing after upload**
|
||||
- Check browser console for upload errors
|
||||
- Verify file type is in allowed list
|
||||
- Check server logs for upload failures
|
||||
|
||||
**Issue: Download fails**
|
||||
- Verify file still exists in `/app/uploads/attachments/`
|
||||
- Check file permissions (should be 0o644)
|
||||
- Verify user is authenticated
|
||||
|
||||
**Issue: Migration not running**
|
||||
- Check entrypoint.sh has execute permissions
|
||||
- Verify migrate_attachments.py is in /app/backend/
|
||||
- Check container logs for migration output
|
||||
|
||||
**Issue: Camera not prompting on mobile**
|
||||
- Verify HTTPS is being used (required for camera access)
|
||||
- Check browser permissions for camera access
|
||||
- Some browsers don't support `capture` attribute
|
||||
|
||||
## Conclusion
|
||||
|
||||
This implementation provides complete, secure, and user-friendly attachment support for all entry types in the Masina-Dock application. All requirements have been met with additional security hardening and comprehensive documentation. The solution is production-ready and fully integrated with existing application features.
