# Data Persistence & PWA Offline Fix ## ๐ŸŽฏ Issues Fixed ### 1. Database Persistence โœ… **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 โœ… **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 โœ… **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 โœ… **Verified**: - โœ… All sensitive endpoints require authentication - โœ… User isolation with `IsOwnerOrAdmin` permission - โœ… Admin-only routes properly protected - โœ… CORS and CSRF configured correctly - โœ… Token authentication working ## ๐Ÿ“ 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 ## ๐Ÿš€ 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 ``` ## ๐ŸŽจ 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; }; } ``` ## ๐Ÿ“Š Data Persistence Structure ``` soundwave/ โ”œโ”€โ”€ audio/ # Persistent: Downloaded audio files โ”œโ”€โ”€ cache/ # Persistent: Application cache โ”œโ”€โ”€ data/ # โœจ NEW: Persistent database storage โ”‚ โ”œโ”€โ”€ db.sqlite3 # Main database (persists between rebuilds) โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ .gitignore # Excludes database from git โ”œโ”€โ”€ es/ # Persistent: Elasticsearch data โ”œโ”€โ”€ redis/ # Persistent: Redis data โ””โ”€โ”€ backend/ โ””โ”€โ”€ staticfiles/ # Persistent: Collected static files ``` ## ๐Ÿ”’ 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 ## ๐Ÿงช Testing Checklist - [x] Database persists after `docker-compose down && docker-compose up` - [x] Downloaded playlists remain after container rebuild - [x] Audio files persist in `/audio` volume - [x] Static files persist in `/staticfiles` volume - [x] PWA offline playlist caching works - [x] Route conflicts resolved - [x] Security permissions verified - [x] Multi-user isolation working - [ ] Full end-to-end test with rebuild ## ๐ŸŽฏ API Endpoint Changes ### Before ``` /api/playlist/ # List/Create playlists /api/playlist// # Playlist detail /api/playlist/ # โŒ CONFLICT: Downloads viewset ``` ### After ``` /api/playlist/ # List/Create playlists /api/playlist// # Playlist detail /api/playlist/downloads/ # โœ… Downloads viewset (no conflict) /api/playlist/downloads// # Download detail /api/playlist/downloads/active/ # Active downloads /api/playlist/downloads/completed/# Completed downloads ``` ## ๐Ÿ’ก 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) ## ๐Ÿ“ 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 ``` ## ๐Ÿ”„ 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 ## โ“ 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/ ``` ## ๐ŸŽ‰ Result โœ… **Playlists now persist between container rebuilds** โœ… **PWA offline support for playlists** โœ… **No route conflicts** โœ… **Security verified** โœ… **All users (admin & managed) working**
