# Pi-Kit Dashboard
|
||
Lightweight dashboard for DietPi-based Pi-Kit images.
|
||
|
||
## What’s here
|
||
- `pikit_api/` + `pikit-api.py`: Python HTTP API (status, services CRUD, auto-updates, diagnostics, factory reset), served on 127.0.0.1:4000.
|
||
- `pikit-web/`: Vite static site served by nginx at `/var/www/pikit-web/`; source in `pikit-web/assets/`, Playwright E2E in `pikit-web/tests/`.
|
||
- Release tooling: `tools/release/make-release.sh` builds a bundle tarball + manifest for OTA; changelogs live in `out/releases/`.
|
||
|
||
## Local development
|
||
- Frontend: `cd pikit-web && npm install` (once), `npm run dev` for live reload, `npm test` for Playwright, `npm run build` for production `dist/`.
|
||
- API: `python pikit-api.py` runs the same routes locally (no auth) as on-device.
|
||
|
||
## Deploy to a Pi-Kit box
|
||
1) Copy `pikit-api.py` **and** the `pikit_api/` directory to the device (e.g., `/usr/local/bin/`) and restart `pikit-api.service`.
|
||
2) Sync `pikit-web/dist/` (preferred) to `/var/www/pikit-web/`, then restart `dietpi-dashboard-frontend.service`.
|
||
3) Using release bundles: `./tools/release/make-release.sh <version> <base_url>`, upload the tarball + manifest, and point `PIKIT_MANIFEST_URL` (systemd drop-in) to that manifest URL for OTA.
|
||
|
||
## Notes
|
||
- Service paths are normalized (leading slash) and URLs include optional subpaths.
|
||
- Firewall changes surface clear errors when `ufw` is missing so the UI can report failures.
|
||
- Factory reset sets `root` and `dietpi` passwords to `pikit`.
|
||
- Default UI: `http://pikit.local/` (mDNS) unless HTTPS is enabled.
