# openbureau-core A generic, schema-driven Hugo CMS engine, extracted from the openbureau site. A site provides one config (collections + plugins); the core gives it an admin, content CRUD over `content/**/*.md` (gray-matter), real Hugo preview/publish, Supabase auth, uploads and git backup. openbureau and karimgabrielevarano.xyz both consume it. ## How a site uses it 1. Point `CMS_CONFIG` at a config module (e.g. `/site/cms.config.js`). 2. Mount the site repo at `SITE_DIR` (default `/site`). Run the container. ``` SITE_DIR=/site CMS_CONFIG=/site/cms.config.js SUPABASE_URL=… SUPABASE_SERVICE_KEY=… JWT_SECRET=… ADMIN_EMAILS=… ``` ## Config API ```js export default { site: 'name', admins: ['you@example.com'], // bootstrap admins (env ADMIN_EMAILS still wins) auth: 'supabase', // 'supabase' (GoTrue) | 'local' (file JWTs, no DB) plugins: ['dialog'], // optional features (see Plugins) collections: [ { kind: 'project', // internal id label: 'Portfolio', // shown in the admin order: 0, // sort order in the list path: 'portfolio/:slug', // file pattern under content/ (:params captured) // index: true, // matches _index.md (a section) // fallback: true, // matches anything not matched above // sections: [...], // fixed choices for a :section param statKey: 'projects', // key in the stats response fields: [ // editor form, in order { name: 'title', type: 'string', required: true }, { name: 'images', type: 'list', of: { src: 'image', name: 'string' } }, { name: 'body', type: 'markdown' }, ], }, ], }; ``` `path` patterns: literal segments must match; `:param` segments are captured (the last one is the slug). `index: true` → `_index.md`. `fallback: true` → everything else. The engine derives content classification, the `buildPath`, the list ordering, the stats counters and the admin editor from this. Field `type`s: `string · text · markdown · slug · date · number · bool · select (options) · image · list · list(of:{…})`. ## Plugins Everything beyond the generic engine is a **plugin**. A site opts into plugins via `plugins: [...]` in its config; core's plugin manager loads them and wires them in. The engine stays lean; openbureau = core + its plugins + its config. A plugin is a module at `api/src/plugins//index.js` exporting a manifest: ```js export default { name: 'dialog', routes: [ // mounted under /api { path: '/forums', app: forums, public: true }, // skips requireAuth { path: '/comments', app: comments }, // auth required { path: '/admin/forums', app: adminForums, admin: true }, // admins only ], onBoot: async (ctx) => {}, // run once at startup (e.g. syncLibrary) onPublish: async (ctx, { path }) => {}, // hook after a publish build onPreview: async (ctx, { path }) => {}, // hook after a preview build migrations: ['001_forums.sql'], // applied to Postgres/Supabase on boot stats: async (ctx) => ({ forums, threads, comments }), // merged into /api/stats admin: { /* UI panels the admin SPA mounts for this plugin */ }, }; ``` The **plugin manager** (core): reads `config.plugins`, imports each module, mounts its routes in the right auth tier (public → before `requireAuth`, the rest after, `admin: true` behind `requireAdmin`), registers its boot/publish/preview/stats hooks, and runs its migrations. The admin SPA loads UI from `admin/src/plugins/` for enabled plugins only. First plugin: **`dialog`** — the comment/forum subsystem (Supabase `forums/threads/comments`, library↔thread sync, forum admin UI). openbureau enables it; kgva doesn't, so none of its routes, hooks, tables or stats load there. ## Auth providers Auth is a config seam (`auth: 'supabase' | 'local'`, default `supabase`) so a site can run **without a database**. The engine already verifies tokens locally — HS256 against `JWT_SECRET`, no GoTrue roundtrip ([api/src/auth.js]) — so a provider only has to *issue* tokens and *store users*. - **`supabase`** (today): GoTrue logs the user in and is the user store; the engine verifies the JWT. Needed when there are multiple editors or the `dialog` plugin (its forums/threads/comments live in Postgres). This is the heavy path. - **`local`**: file-based users (bcrypt hashes) + self-signed HS256 JWTs of the **same claim shape** (`sub`, `email`, `app_metadata.role`, `exp`), so `requireAuth` and roles are unchanged. No GoTrue, no Postgres, no PostgREST. A dialog-less site (e.g. kgva, single admin) then runs as just **Node + Hugo + nginx** (~80 MB vs the ~1–2 GB Supabase suite). Trade-off: you own password hashing; you lose GoTrue's password-reset / rate-limiting — fine for a single-admin CMS. What a pluginless core needs from Supabase is *only* the auth half anyway: content is Markdown on disk, uploads are local FS (`static/images`, via sharp), and PostgREST/tables are a `dialog`-plugin need. `local` drops that half too. ## Architecture - `api/` — Node engine (Hono): `auth` (Supabase JWT), `files` (gray-matter CRUD), `hugo` (coalesced build / preview / publish + git), `routes/*`, `ratelimit`, `config` (this loader). - `admin/` — React/Vite SPA; renders list + editor from the config schema. - `examples/` — `openbureau.config.js`, `kgva.config.js` (the two consumers). ## Status / migration stages This repo currently holds the **engine as extracted** plus the config API and the two target configs. Generalisation is staged because the api and admin share a data contract and openbureau is in production — they must change together and be tested on the live Supabase/Hugo stack, not flipped blind. - [x] Repo, engine, config loader, example configs (openbureau + kgva) - [x] `files.js` classify / order / buildPath driven by `collections` (`api/src/collections.js` + tests; behaviour 1:1 vs openbureau.config.js) - [x] `stats.js` counters driven by `collections` (`statKey` / `draftStatKey`), dialog counts gated by `hasPlugin('dialog')` - [~] **plugin manager** built + unit-tested (`api/src/plugin-manager.js`, `api/test/plugin-manager.test.js`): loads `config.plugins`, mounts routes by auth tier, runs boot/publish/preview hooks, merges stats, surfaces migrations. NOT yet wired into `index.js` (lands with stage 5, needs the live stack); admin plugin-UI loading still TODO - [~] extract openbureau's extras into plugins — first **`dialog`**: manifest scaffold at `api/src/plugins/dialog/index.js` wraps the existing dialog modules (routes by tier, `syncLibrary` on boot/publish, forum counters as `stats`), loaded + structurally tested (`api/test/dialog-plugin.test.js`). TODO (live-tested): wire it into `index.js`, capture the Supabase DDL into `migrations/001_dialog.sql`, move the dialog source under `plugins/dialog/` - [ ] `index.js` / `publish.js`: no hard-coded dialog — everything via the manager - [ ] admin: editor + sidebar groups rendered from the config schema - [ ] **auth provider** (`supabase` | `local`): `local` = file users + self-signed HS256 JWTs (same claim shape), no DB — lets a dialog-less core run Supabase-free - [ ] cut openbureau over to consume core (= core + `dialog` plugin + its config), behaviour identical — tested on the live stack - [ ] onboard kgva as the second consumer (`auth: 'local'`, no plugins, DB-less)
