==== 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

  • Permissions .filter_queryset()

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

  • Log changes from rest api (serialized objects)

  • backend logs with hal logo

  • set_password orchestration method?

  • 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)

  • when using modeladmin to store shit like self.account, make sure to have a cleanslate in each request? no, better reuse the last one

  • jabber with mailbox accounts (dovecot mail notification)

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

  • 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

  • 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

  • multiple domains creation; line separated domains

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

  • 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?

  • print open invoices as proforma?

  • 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

  • ForeignKey.swappable

  • Field.editable

  • ManyToManyField.symmetrical = False (user group)

  • REST PERMISSIONS

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

  • multiple files monitoring

  • 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)

  • 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)

  • 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

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

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

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

POST INSTALL

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

Php binaries should have this format: /usr/bin/php5.2-cgi

  • logs on panel/logs/ ? mkdir ~webapps, backend post save signal?

  • transaction fault tolerant on backend.execute()

  • and other IfModule on backend SecRule

  • monitor in batches doesnt work!!!

  • Orchestra global search box on the header, based https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/contrib/admin/options.py#L866 and iterating over all registered services and inspectin its admin.search_fields

  • contain error on plugin missing key (plugin dissabled): NOP, fail hard is better than silently, perhaps fail at starttime? apploading

  • contact.alternative_phone on a phone.tooltip, email:to

  • better validate options and directives (url locations, filesystem paths, etc..)

  • filter php deprecated options out based on version

  • make sure that you understand the risks

  • full support for deactivation of services/accounts

    • Display admin.is_active (disabled account/order by)
  • show details data on webapp changelist
