# Data Persistence & PWA Offline Fix

## 🎯 Issues Fixed

### 1. Database Persistence ✅
**Problem**: Downloaded playlists were lost on container rebuild because SQLite database was not persisted.

**Solution**: 
- Created `/app/data` volume mount in Docker
- Updated Django settings to store `db.sqlite3` in persistent `/app/data` directory
- Added `data/` directory with proper `.gitignore`

### 2. Route Conflicts ✅
**Problem**: Playlist download routes conflicted with main playlist routes (both at root path `''`)

**Solution**:
- Moved download routes to `downloads/` prefix
- Proper route ordering in `backend/playlist/urls.py`
- API endpoints now: `/api/playlist/downloads/` instead of `/api/playlist/`

### 3. PWA Offline Playlist Caching ✅
**Problem**: No dedicated offline caching strategy for playlists

**Solution**:
- Added `cachePlaylist()` and `removePlaylistCache()` to PWA Manager
- Enhanced Service Worker with playlist-specific cache handlers
- Added playlist methods to IndexedDB storage:
  - `savePlaylist()`
  - `getOfflinePlaylists()`
  - `updatePlaylistSyncStatus()`
- Updated PWA Context to expose playlist caching functions

### 4. Security Audit ✅
**Verified**:
- ✅ All sensitive endpoints require authentication
- ✅ User isolation with `IsOwnerOrAdmin` permission
- ✅ Admin-only routes properly protected
- ✅ CORS and CSRF configured correctly
- ✅ Token authentication working

## 📁 Files Modified

### Backend
1. **`docker-compose.yml`** - Added `data` and `staticfiles` volumes
2. **`backend/config/settings.py`** - Database path now `/app/data/db.sqlite3`
3. **`backend/playlist/urls.py`** - Fixed route conflicts

### Frontend (PWA)
4. **`frontend/src/utils/offlineStorage.ts`** - Added playlist offline methods
5. **`frontend/src/utils/pwa.ts`** - Added `cachePlaylist()` and `removePlaylistCache()`
6. **`frontend/src/context/PWAContext.tsx`** - Exposed new playlist functions
7. **`frontend/public/service-worker.js`** - Added playlist cache handlers

### Infrastructure
8. **`data/.gitignore`** - Created to exclude database from git

## 🚀 Migration Steps

### For Existing Deployments

1. **Stop containers**:
   ```bash
   docker-compose down
   ```

2. **Create data directory** (if not exists):
   ```bash
   mkdir -p data
   ```

3. **Migrate existing database** (if you have one):
   ```bash
   # If you have an existing db.sqlite3 in backend/
   mv backend/db.sqlite3 data/db.sqlite3
   ```

4. **Rebuild and restart**:
   ```bash
   docker-compose build
   docker-compose up -d
   ```

5. **Verify persistence**:
   ```bash
   # Check database exists
   ls -lh data/db.sqlite3
   
   # Check it persists after rebuild
   docker-compose down
   docker-compose up -d
   ls -lh data/db.sqlite3  # Should still exist
   ```

## 🎨 PWA Offline Playlist Usage

### In Your Components

```typescript
import { usePWA } from '../context/PWAContext';
import { offlineStorage } from '../utils/offlineStorage';

function PlaylistComponent() {
  const { cachePlaylist, removePlaylistCache, isOnline } = usePWA();

  // Download playlist for offline use
  const downloadPlaylist = async (playlist) => {
    // 1. Cache audio files via Service Worker
    const audioUrls = playlist.items.map(item => item.audio_url);
    const cached = await cachePlaylist(playlist.id, audioUrls);
    
    // 2. Save metadata to IndexedDB
    if (cached) {
      await offlineStorage.savePlaylist({
        id: playlist.id,
        title: playlist.title,
        items: playlist.items,
        offline: true,
      });
    }
  };

  // Remove offline playlist
  const removeOfflinePlaylist = async (playlist) => {
    const audioUrls = playlist.items.map(item => item.audio_url);
    await removePlaylistCache(playlist.id, audioUrls);
    await offlineStorage.removePlaylist(playlist.id);
  };

  // Get offline playlists
  const loadOfflinePlaylists = async () => {
    const playlists = await offlineStorage.getOfflinePlaylists();
    return playlists;
  };
}
```

## 📊 Data Persistence Structure

```

├── audio/              # Persistent: Downloaded audio files
├── cache/              # Persistent: Application cache
├── data/               # ✨ NEW: Persistent database storage
│   ├── db.sqlite3      # Main database (persists between rebuilds)
│   └── .gitignore      # Excludes database from git

```

## 🔒 Security Verification

All endpoints verified for proper authentication and authorization:

### Public Endpoints (No Auth Required)
- `/api/user/login/` - User login
- `/api/user/register/` - User registration

### Authenticated Endpoints
- `/api/playlist/*` - User playlists (owner isolation)
- `/api/playlist/downloads/*` - Download management (owner isolation)
- `/api/audio/*` - Audio files (user-scoped)
- `/api/channel/*` - Channels (admin write, all read)

### Admin-Only Endpoints
- `/api/download/*` - Download queue management
- `/api/task/*` - Task management
- `/api/appsettings/*` - System settings
- `/admin/*` - Django admin

### Permission Classes Used
- `IsAuthenticated` - Must be logged in
- `IsOwnerOrAdmin` - Owner or admin access
- `AdminOnly` - Admin/superuser only
- `AdminWriteOnly` - Admin write, all read

## 🧪 Testing Checklist

## 🎯 API Endpoint Changes

### Before
```
/api/playlist/                    # List/Create playlists
/api/playlist/<id>/               # Playlist detail
/api/playlist/                    # ❌ CONFLICT: Downloads viewset
```

### After
```
/api/playlist/                    # List/Create playlists
/api/playlist/<id>/               # Playlist detail
/api/playlist/downloads/          # ✅ Downloads viewset (no conflict)
/api/playlist/downloads/<id>/     # Download detail
/api/playlist/downloads/active/   # Active downloads
/api/playlist/downloads/completed/# Completed downloads
```

## 💡 Best Practices

1. **Always use volumes for persistent data**
   - Database files
   - User uploads
   - Application cache
   - Static files

2. **Separate data from code**
   - Code in container (rebuilt)
   - Data in volumes (persisted)

3. **PWA offline strategy**
   - Cache API responses for metadata
   - Cache audio files for playback
   - Store state in IndexedDB
   - Sync when online

4. **Security layers**
   - Authentication (token-based)
   - Authorization (permission classes)
   - User isolation (owner field checks)
   - Admin protection (admin-only views)

## 📝 Environment Variables

Optional configuration in `.env` or docker-compose:

```env
# Data directory (default: /app/data)
DATA_DIR=/app/data

# Media directory (default: /app/audio)
MEDIA_ROOT=/app/audio
```

## 🔄 Future Enhancements

1. **Database Backup**
   - Add automated SQLite backup script
   - Volume snapshot strategy

2. **Cache Management**
   - PWA cache size limits
   - Auto-cleanup old cached playlists

3. **Sync Strategy**
   - Background sync for offline changes
   - Conflict resolution

4. **Analytics**
   - Track offline usage
   - Cache hit/miss ratios

## ❓ Troubleshooting

### Database not persisting
```bash
# Check volume mount
docker inspect soundwave | grep -A 5 Mounts

# Verify data directory
docker exec soundwave ls -lh /app/data/

# Check database location
docker exec soundwave python manage.py shell -c "from django.conf import settings; print(settings.DATABASES['default']['NAME'])"
```

### PWA cache not working
```bash
# Check service worker registration
# Open browser DevTools -> Application -> Service Workers

# Clear all caches
# DevTools -> Application -> Storage -> Clear site data

# Re-register service worker
# Navigate to app and check console
```

### Route conflicts
```bash
# Test endpoints
curl http://localhost:8889/api/playlist/
curl http://localhost:8889/api/playlist/downloads/
```

## 🎉 Result

✅ **Playlists now persist between container rebuilds**
✅ **PWA offline support for playlists**
✅ **No route conflicts**
✅ **Security verified**
✅ **All users (admin & managed) working**
