upstream/beta independently shipped 108_seed_sl_email_template_translations.js
(Slovenian email template translations) using the migration number
this branch had already claimed for 108_add_backup_paths.js. Knex's
filename-based ordering would have caused both to attempt the slot
at merge time.
Renamed via `git mv` so file history is preserved. All five
references updated in lockstep:
- backend/src/services/_backupPathsBoot.js (require + comments)
- backend/src/services/backupService.js (LEGACY_BACKUP_PATHS comment)
- 3 integration test files (require + "migration 108" prose)
- migration's own header comment, with a paragraph explaining the
rename so reviewers don't wonder why the number jumped
**No data-migration impact for installs that already ran the
108-named version** (Ralf's beta, primarily): the migration's body
is idempotent — createTable is guarded by `hasTable`, and the seed
uses `onConflict('path').ignore()`. So when 109 runs against an
install whose backup_paths table is already populated, both the
schema step and the seed step no-op cleanly. The orphaned
`108_add_backup_paths.js` row in the `migrations` tracking table
sits harmlessly alongside the new `109_add_backup_paths.js` row.
No data lost, no double-insert, no schema drift. Mechanical rename
ahead of the PR opening.
Closes the last gap from tonight's backup-hardening: backup_runs.
statistics now carries a `per_path` map keyed by backup_paths.path
(e.g. `events/active`, `business-docs`), with per-bucket count + size.
Backend (backupService.js):
- new `computePerPathStats(backedUpFiles, allFiles)` helper that
bucket-sorts each backed-up file into its owning backup_paths row
by longest-prefix match. Reuses the same backup_paths source the
walker reads, so toggling include_in_default off propagates
correctly. Falls back to LEGACY_BACKUP_PATHS if the table is
missing.
- runBackupInternal calls it after the destination implementation
reports back, includes the result in statistics under both
snake_case (`per_path`) and camelCase (`perPath`) keys for the
same alias treatment the existing fields get.
Frontend (BackupHistory.jsx):
- Backup History detail pane now renders one row per per_path entry
when present, with path label + count + formatted size.
- Falls back to the legacy Photos / Archives / "Other" rendering
when the field is absent (backups taken before this commit). No
breaking change for stored history.
Tests: new backupService.perPathStats.test.js — 2 scenarios pinning
attribution behaviour (single-path, nested-paths-don't-collide).
Plus a NOTE comment about overlapping-path walker behaviour (out of
scope; canonical seed doesn't hit it).
The dashboard widget used `lastBackup.created_at` for the "Last
successful backup: X ago" text — but lastBackup is the most recent
row of any status. So a crashed restore (status=running, never
updated) or a recent failure showed up labeled as the last
successful backup. Same "silent failure not surfaced" class the
restore wizard had.
Backend now returns:
lastSuccessfulBackup — most recent backup_runs with status='completed'
zombieRuns — running rows older than 30 min (likely crashed mid-flight)
lastBackup — unchanged (most recent any status)
Frontend renders:
- "Last successful backup: X ago" — always from lastSuccessfulBackup
- "Last attempt: Y ago · failed/running" — when lastBackup differs
from lastSuccessful. failed shows the first line of error_message
in red; running stays neutral.
- Zombie callout — "N backup(s) running >30min — may have crashed"
in amber, so admin sees stuck rows at a glance.
- Health score downgrades from "excellent" to "warning" if the
latest attempt failed, even when older successes keep the age
fresh — surfaces regressions without erasing the green history.
Stage B of the three-stage backup-hardening plan (Stage A:
inline-DB-dump + fail-loud guard already landed). The file-backup
walker used to hard-code its subdirectory list inside
`getFilesToBackupInternal`, which is the same footgun that hid the
`business-docs` gap for ~6 months — a new feature drops artefacts
under STORAGE_PATH and the maintainer has to remember to edit the
walker.
Now driven by a `backup_paths` table:
- Migration 108 creates the table and seeds the 7 canonical
defaults (events/active, events/archived, thumbnails, previews,
heroes, uploads, business-docs). Seed data lives on the
migration as `DEFAULT_PATHS` so the boot self-heal can re-use it.
- `_backupPathsBoot.js` mirrors `_emailTemplateBoot.js`: on every
boot it diffs the canonical list against the current rows and
`INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING`s the missing ones. Keeps
admin edits intact, picks up new defaults shipped after the
install (Knex won't re-run migration 108). Wired into server.js
just before `startBackupService()`.
- Walker now calls `resolveBackupPaths(config)` which:
* reads `backup_paths WHERE include_in_default=true ORDER BY
display_order`
* falls back to a hard-coded `LEGACY_BACKUP_PATHS` if the
table is missing OR empty (defense in depth — never silently
scans nothing)
* gates each row by its `feature_flag` column (matches how
`backup_include_archived` already worked; data-driven now)
- Backward compatible: `getFilesToBackup(true|false)` still works
for legacy callers and the existing businessDocs test. New
callers should pass the full config object so feature gates
other than `backup_include_archived` evaluate correctly.
Tests:
- new: `backupService.configurableWalker.test.js` — 7 cases
covering canonical seed, toggling include_in_default, runtime
INSERT picked up without restart, feature_flag gating both on
and off, empty-table → LEGACY fallback, boolean backward compat
- all 15 backup-walker integration tests pass
(configurableWalker 7 + inlineDbDump 5 + businessDocs 3)
- frontend build clean
- 4 pre-existing integration failures (webhookDelivery, storage
backend, adminPhotos.reference, imageProcessor.storage) confirmed
unrelated via `git stash` baseline run
Stage C (CRM feature coverage audit + diagnostic UI) follows
in a separate commit.
The previous file-backup workflow only LOOKED UP an existing
database dump via getDatabaseBackupInfo() and silently shipped a
files-only manifest when none was found. Admins clicking "Run
Backup Now" (or relying on the schedule) got an apparent success
that omitted every customer / quote / invoice / contract / payment-
log row. The data-loss footgun was discovered 2026-05-29 when an
admin who'd been "backing up" for weeks via the UI lost the entire
CRM after a routine docker compose down -v — every produced
manifest had database: { backup_file: null, size: 0, tables: {} }.
New helper `ensureDatabaseDumpForBackup(config)` encapsulates:
1. Inline pg_dump (or SQLite copy) before the file scan, via
databaseBackupService.backup(). Result lands in
database_backup_runs and is picked up by the existing
getDatabaseBackupInfo lookup that writes the manifest.
2. Fail-loud guard: if no usable dump file is reachable (path
missing, 0 bytes, or never existed), throw — the existing
catch in runBackupInternal marks the backup_runs row failed
with the error_message and emails the admin if configured.
No more silent files-only manifests.
3. Opt-out: `backup_database_inline_dump = false` skips the
inline dump for admins who already run their own scheduled
`backup_database_schedule`. The fail-loud guard still
applies, so an opted-out install with no recent dump still
aborts loudly instead of producing a partial backup. Default
ON is encoded as "skip only when explicitly false" — undefined
(existing installs upgrading) falls through to the safe-
default ON branch.
The helper returns the verified `databaseInfo` so the manifest-build
step at runBackupInternal:917 reuses it instead of calling
getDatabaseBackupInfo a second time. S3/future destinations that
override `result.databaseInfo` are still respected (the existing
`result.databaseInfo ||` fallback shape stays put).
Test suite covers: default-on happy path, dump-throws-aborts-run,
opt-out + recent dump + proceeds, opt-out + no-dump + fail-loud,
opt-out + 0-byte dump + fail-loud. Mocks
databaseBackupService.backup so the tests don't depend on pg_dump
or sqlite3 CLI binaries being installed.

backupService.getFilesToBackupInternal() enumerated a fixed list of
storage subdirectories (events/active, events/archived, thumbnails,
previews, heroes, uploads) and silently omitted the entire
business-docs/ tree. Every CRM PDF artefact and signature image fell
outside the in-app scheduled backup — restoring the DB without the
PDFs would have left every *_path column on quotes/contracts/invoices
as a broken FK and lost forensic evidence (the customer signature
PNG/JPG drawn on the public signing page is referenced by
contracts.signed_customer_signature_path; the rendered contract PDF
is referenced by signed_pdf_path with a stored signed_pdf_sha256
that would have nothing to verify against; wet-uploaded contracts
and admin-imported historical invoices are irrecoverable by design
since no renderer can reproduce them).
Single new scanDirectory call after the existing uploads scan,
covering:
- business-docs/quote/<year>/*.pdf
- business-docs/contract/<year>/*.pdf
- business-docs/contract/signatures/<contract_id>/*.{png,jpg}
- business-docs/invoice/<year>/*.pdf
- business-docs/invoice-imports/<year>/*.pdf
- and incidentally business-docs/dev-test/ (managed by adminDev.js,
bounded to 7 newest files, harmless to back up)
Verified that no migration is needed: hasFileChanged returns
!existing || checksum mismatch, so the first backup after this lands
flags every business-docs/** file as new and copies it. Restore path
in restoreService.performFilesRestore uses fs.mkdir({ recursive:
true }) on path.dirname(targetPath), so business-docs subdirectories
are recreated automatically from manifest entries — no restore-side
code change required.
Integration test pins the contract so a future refactor cannot
silently drop business-docs again.
The shell-script backup at scripts/backup.sh already covered all of
this via blanket `tar -czf storage`; only the in-app service was
affected.
Adds an opt-in lightbox preview tier so guests open photos against an
aspect-preserved ~1920px JPEG (~200–500 KB) instead of the full original
(often 5–12 MB). Originals are still served on Download.
Backend:
- imageProcessor: generatePreviewImage / isPreviewValid / ensurePreviewImage
using fit:'inside' + withoutEnlargement (longEdge 1920, q85, mozjpeg)
- migration 104: photos.preview_path + lightbox_preview_enabled setting
(off by default, JSON-stringified for SQLite/Postgres parity)
- GET /api/gallery/:slug/preview/:photoId — gallery-auth, lazy generation,
ETag based on mtime+photoId+watermarkHash
- preview_url surfaced in the photo response only when the toggle is on
- admin /thumbnails/regenerate-previews mirrors regenerate-thumbnails,
skipping videos
- backup walk + archive cleanup + photo-delete now include previews/
Frontend:
- PhotoLightbox uses photo.preview_url ?? photo.url (null-safe fallback)
- ThumbnailsTab gets a Lightbox Preview Tier card: opt-in toggle +
Regenerate All Previews button (gated until the toggle is on)
- en/de locale strings; nl/pt/ru/fr fall back to en
Tested end-to-end: 11 MB / 4000×3000 source → 985 KB / 1920×1440 preview,
381 ms first call, 7 ms cached, ~91% byte reduction.
Three fixes uncovered while bringing the backup-s3 integration suite to
12/12 against MinIO + Postgres:
- backupService.getDatabaseBackupInfo: pg's jsonb driver auto-parses
`statistics` / `table_checksums` to objects; the old JSON.parse() then
threw "[object Object]" is not valid JSON and the manifest dropped
database info silently. Accept both string and object inputs.
- backupService.runBackup: incremental path called
backupManifest.loadManifest() with an s3:// URI directly, which falls
through to fs.readFile() and ENOENTs — every "incremental" backup
silently downgraded to a full one. Added loadManifestFromAnywhere()
helper that downloads s3:// to a tmp file before delegating.
- backupManifest.generateIncrementalManifest: attached the `incremental`
section AFTER generateManifest() had already stamped
verification.total_checksum, so every incremental manifest failed
validateManifest() on read-back. Recompute the checksum after.
Test side: updated assertions to the current manifest shape
(`incremental.changes.modified_files_count`), Number()-coerce bigint
columns from pg, and gate the logger mock on UNMOCK_LOGGER for
diagnosing similar silent-failure modes in the future.
Three pre-existing bugs surfaced by re-running the backup-s3 integration
suite. backup-s3 went 0/12 → 7/12 (storage-refactor session bootstrap
fixes) → 10/12 with this commit.
1. Backup service crashes on backend startup with
`TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'replace')`
from node-cron's expression parser.
Root cause: `backup_schedule` stores a UI label like "weekly", while
`backup_schedule_cron` stores the actual cron expression. Startup
code read the label and passed it straight to cron.schedule() —
"weekly" is not a cron expression.
Fix in startBackupService(): read backup_schedule_cron first; fall
back to mapping known labels (hourly/daily/weekly/monthly) to cron
expressions; back-compat for deployments that wrote a cron expression
into the legacy backup_schedule field.
2. Backup manifest retrieval fails with
`SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'a', "applicatio"...` when the
manifest format is YAML.
Root cause: getBackupManifest() downloads the s3:// manifest to a
tmp file hardcoded as `manifest-N.json`. loadManifest() then
detects format from extension only — sees .json, runs JSON.parse on
YAML content (which starts with "application: …"), fails.
Fix in backupManifest.loadManifest(): detect format from BOTH the
extension AND the content's first non-whitespace character. JSON
starts with { or [; anything else falls through to yaml.load.
Backwards compatible — extension is still authoritative when present
AND content matches.
3. Test assertion `expect(backupRun.total_size_bytes).toBeGreaterThan(0)`
fails with "received value must be a number or bigint" because pg
driver returns bigint columns as strings. Coerce via Number() in
the test.
Remaining 2 failures (out of scope here, both are spec-level drift):
- "should include database backup" expects the runBackup() flow to
upload the database backup file at S3 key `database/db-backup.sql`.
Current implementation reads db backup metadata for the manifest but
does not upload the file itself. Missing feature, not a test bug.
- "should only upload changed files" expects manifest.incremental.
modified_files_count. Implementation writes backupType: 'incremental'
on the run row but no per-run incremental subobject in the manifest.
Field shape mismatch.
- Disable production source maps and hide nginx version
- Reduce JSON body limit from 10gb to 50mb (uploads use multer, not JSON)
- Strip database info and error details from health endpoint
- Mask reCAPTCHA secret key in admin settings API responses
- Whitelist sort/order query parameters in events and photos endpoints
- Stop reflecting arbitrary origins in static file CORS headers
- Align nginx security headers with backend Helmet CSP, remove deprecated X-XSS-Protection
- Strip EXIF metadata from generated thumbnails and hero images
- Bind postgres/redis dev ports to localhost in docker-compose configs
- Add safeExec utility (spawn with shell:false) to prevent command injection
- Convert all exec/execAsync calls in backup, restore, and database backup
services to use safe spawn-based helpers
The frontend expected `status.lastBackup` but the backend was returning
`status.lastRun`. This caused the backup dashboard to show "No backup available"
even when backups existed in the history.
Added:
- `lastBackup` as alias for `lastRun`
- `totalBackups` count of completed backups
- Manual backup button now works regardless of backup_enabled setting
- backup_enabled only controls scheduled/automated backups
- Manual backups only require destination to be configured
- Fixed backup_type to correctly show 'manual' vs 'scheduled'
- Add S3/MinIO storage adapter with multipart upload support
- Implement database backup service for SQLite and PostgreSQL
- Create backup manifest generator for tracking backup contents
- Enhance backup service with S3 integration and incremental backups
- Add restore service with safety measures and rollback capability
- Create comprehensive test suite for all backup functionality
- Add admin API endpoints for backup/restore management
- Implement frontend UI with dashboard, configuration, and restore wizard
- Add roadmap section to README with implemented backup feature
This implementation provides:
- Multiple backup destinations (local, rsync, S3/MinIO)
- Intelligent change detection to minimize backup frequency
- Full database backups with compression
- Manifest-based restore with integrity validation
- Pre-restore safety backups with rollback
- Comprehensive error handling and monitoring
- User-friendly admin interface
