django-orchestra/TODO.md

==== TODO ====

• scape strings before executing scripts in order to prevent exploits: django templates automatically scapes things. Most important is to ensuer that all escape ' to &quot

• Don't store passwords and other service parameters that can be changed by the services i.e. mailman, vps etc. Find an execution mechanism that trigger change_password()

• abort transaction on orchestration when state == TIMEOUT ?

• use format_html_join for orchestration email alerts

• enforce an emergency email contact and account to contact contacts about problems when mailserver is down

• add BackendLog retry action

• webmail identities and addresses

• use Code: https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/forms/forms.py#L415 for domain.refresh_serial()

• Permissions .filter_queryset()

• env vars instead of multiple settings files: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/config-vars ?

• Log changes from rest api (serialized objects)

• EMAIL backend operations which contain stderr messages (because under certain failures status code is still 0)

• Settings dictionary like DRF2 in order to better override large settings like WEBSITES_APPLICATIONS.etc

• backend logs with hal logo

• set_password orchestration method?

• make account_link to autoreplace account on change view.

• LAST version of this shit http://wkhtmltopdf.org/downloads.html

• translations from django.utils import translation with translation.override('en'):

• help_text on readonly_fields specialy Bill.state. (eg. A bill is in OPEN state when bla bla )

• create log file at /var/log/orchestra.log and rotate

• order.register_at @property def register_on(self): return order.register_at.date()

• mail backend related_models = ('resources__content_type') ??

• Domain backend PowerDNS Bind validation support?

• Maildir billing tests/ webdisk billing tests (avg metric)

• move icons to apps, and use appconfig to cleanup config stuff

• when using modeladmin to store shit like self.account, make sure to have a cleanslate in each request?

• jabber with mailbox accounts (dovecto mail notification)

• rename accounts register to "account", and reated api and admin references

• take a look icons from ajenti ;)

• Disable services is_active should be computed on the fly in order to distinguish account.is_active from service.is_active when reactivation.

  • Perhaps it is time to create a ServiceModel ?

• prevent deletion of main user by the user itself

• AccountAdminMixin auto adds 'account__name' on searchfields and handle account_link on fieldsets

• Separate panel from server passwords? Store passwords on panel? set_password special backend operation?

• What fields we really need on contacts? name email phone and what more?

• Redirect junk emails and delete every 30 days?

• DOC: Complitely decouples scripts execution, billing, service definition

• delete main user -> delete account or prevent delete main user

• Ansible orchestration method (methods.py)

• multiple domains creation; line separated domains

• Move MU webapps to SaaS?

• offer to create mailbox on account creation

• init.d celery scripts -# Required-Start: $network $local_fs $remote_fs postgresql celeryd -# Required-Stop: $network $local_fs $remote_fs postgresql celeryd

• for list virtual_domains cleaning up we need to know the old domain name when a list changes its address domain, but this is not possible with the current design.

• regenerate virtual_domains every time (configure a separate file for orchestra on postfix)

• update_fields=[] doesn't trigger post save!

• Backend optimization

  • fields = ()
  • ignore_fields = ()
  • based on a merge set of save(update_fields)

• parmiko write to a channel instead of transfering files? http://sysadmin.circularvale.com/programming/paramiko-channel-hangs/

• proforma without billing contact?

• env ORCHESTRA_MASTER_SERVER='test1.orchestra.lan' ORCHESTRA_SECOND_SERVER='test2.orchestra.lan' ORCHESTRA_SLAVE_SERVER='test3.orchestra.lan' python manage.py test orchestra.apps.domains.tests.functional_tests.tests:AdminBind9BackendDomainTest

• Pangea modifications: domain registered/non-registered list_display and field with register link: inconsistent, what happen to related objects with a domain that is converted to register-only?

• ForeignKey.swappable

• Field.editable

• ManyToManyField.symmetrical = False (user group)

• REST PERMISSIONS

• caching based on "def text2int(textnum, numwords={}):"

• multiple files monitoring

• Split plans into a separate app (plans and rates / services ) interface ?

• sync() ServiceController method that synchronizes orchestra and servers (delete or import)

• consider removing mailbox support on forward (user@pangea.org instead)

• Databases.User add reverse M2M databases widget (like mailbox.addresses)

• Root owned logs on user's home ? yes

• reconsider binding webapps to systemusers (pangea multiple users wordpress-ftp, moodle-pangea, etc)

• Secondary user home in /home/secondaryuser and simlink to /home/main/webapps/app so it can have private storage?

• Grant permissions to systemusers, the problem of creating a related permission model is out of sync with the server-side. evaluate tradeoff

• Make one dedicated CGI user for each account only for CGI execution (fpm/fcgid). Different from the files owner, and without W permissions, so attackers can not inject backdors and malware.

• In most cases we can prevent the creation of files for the CGI users, preventing attackers to upload and executing PHPShells.

• Make main systemuser able to write/read everything on its home, including stuff created by the CGI user and secondary users

• Prevent users from accessing other users home while at the same time allow access Apache/fcgid/fpm and secondary users (x)

• public_html/webapps directory with root owner and permissions

• resource min max allocation with validation

• mailman needs both aliases when address_name is provided (default messages and bounces and all)

• domain validation parse named-checzone output to assign errors to fields

• Directory Protection on webapp and use webapp path as base path (validate)

• User [Group] webapp/website option (validation) which overrides default mainsystemuser

• validate systemuser.home on server-side

• webapp backend option compatibility check?

• admin systemuser home/directory, add default home and empty directory with has_shell on admin

• Resource used_list_display=True, allocated_list_displat=True, allow resources to show up on list_display

• BackendLog.updated_at (tasks that run over several minutes when finished they do not appear first on the changelist) (like celery tasks.when)

• Periodic task for cleaning old monitoring data

• Create an admin service_view with icons (like SaaS app)

• Fix ftp traffic

• Resource graph for each related object

• Rename apache logs ending on .log in order to logrotate easily

• multitenant webapps modeled on WepApp -> name unique for all accounts

• webapp compat webapp-options

• webapps modeled on classes instead of settings?

• Service.account change and orders consistency

• Mix webapps type with backends (two for the price of one)

• Webapp options and type compatibility

• SaaS model splitted into SaaSUser and SaaSSite?

Multi-tenant WebApps

• SaaS - Those apps that can't use custom domain

• WebApp - Those apps that can use custom domain

• Howto upgrade webapp PHP version? <FilesMatch .php$> SetHandler php54-cgi ? or create a new app

• prevent @pangea.org email addresses on contacts, enforce at least one email without @pangea.org

• fcgid kill instead of apache reload?

• username maximum as group user in UNIX

• forms autocomplete="off", doesn't work in chrome

ln -s /proc/self/fd /dev/fd

• http-https/https-only/http-only

POST INSTALL

• Generate a password-less ssh key, and copy it to the servers you want to orchestrate. ssh-keygen ssh-copy-id root@

• symbolicLink webapp (link stuff from other places)
