BREAKING CHANGE: Replaced Node.js backend with Python Flask Reason: npm not available on production server, Python/pip is available. Changes: - Created app.py (Flask) to replace server.js (Node.js) - Created requirements.txt with only 2 dependencies (Flask, mysql-connector-python) - Updated README.md with Flask installation and deployment instructions - Maintained all existing functionality: * Same API endpoints (/api/notifications, /health) * Same database queries (isshopfloor filter, 72-hour window) * Same priority sorting (incidents first) * Serves static files from public/ directory * Same environment variable configuration Dependencies: - Flask==3.0.0 - mysql-connector-python==8.2.0 The public/index.html frontend remains unchanged - only the backend was converted. Tested and verified: - API endpoint returns correct data - Health check responds - Dashboard displays properly - Database connectivity working - PM2 process manager compatible 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

## Database Schema
|
|
|
|
Queries the `notifications` table in ShopDB with shopfloor filtering:
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
SELECT n.notificationid, n.notification, n.starttime, n.endtime,
|
|
n.ticketnumber, n.link, n.isactive, n.isshopfloor,
|
|
nt.typename, nt.typecolor
|
|
FROM notifications n
|
|
LEFT JOIN notificationtypes nt ON n.notificationtypeid = nt.notificationtypeid
|
|
WHERE n.isactive = 1
|
|
AND n.isshopfloor = 1
|
|
AND (conditions for 72-hour window)
|
|
ORDER BY n.starttime ASC
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Key Fields:**
|
|
- `isshopfloor`: Boolean flag (0/1) - only events with `1` appear on dashboard
|
|
- `typecolor`: Used for visual severity indicators (danger/warning/success)
|
|
|
|
## Design
|
|
|
|
### Colors (GE Aerospace Brand)
|
|
|
|
- **Deep Navy**: `#00003d` (background)
|
|
- **Sky Blue**: `#4181ff` (accents, clock)
|
|
- **Avionics Green**: `#0ad64f` (live indicator)
|
|
- **Tungsten**: `#eaeaea` (secondary text)
|
|
|
|
### Typography
|
|
|
|
- **Font**: Inter (sans-serif)
|
|
- **Sizes**: Large for TV readability (38px-48px headers)
|
|
|
|
## Git Repository
|
|
|
|
This project is version controlled with Git and hosted on Gitea.
|
|
|
|
**Repository URL:**
|
|
- SSH: `ssh://git@localhost:2222/cproudlock/shopfloor-dashboard.git`
|
|
- HTTP: `http://localhost:3000/cproudlock/shopfloor-dashboard`
|
|
|
|
**SSH Key Setup:**
|
|
|
|
The repository uses SSH authentication. The SSH key is already configured:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# SSH public key location
|
|
~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
|
|
|
|
# Key is registered in Gitea as "AI Key"
|
|
# User: cproudlock
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Common Git Commands:**
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Clone the repository
|
|
git clone ssh://git@localhost:2222/cproudlock/shopfloor-dashboard.git
|
|
|
|
# Pull latest changes
|
|
git pull
|
|
|
|
# Commit and push changes
|
|
git add .
|
|
git commit -m "Your commit message"
|
|
git push
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Development
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Install dependencies
|
|
pip install -r requirements.txt
|
|
|
|
# Run the Flask development server
|
|
python3 app.py
|
|
|
|
# The built-in Flask server auto-reloads on code changes when debug=True
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Deployment
|
|
|
|
For production deployment (no pip/npm required on production server):
|
|
|
|
### Option 1: Package with Dependencies (Recommended)
|
|
|
|
1. Package entire directory including installed Python packages
|
|
2. Copy to production server
|
|
3. Run directly with Python 3
|
|
4. Use a process manager (systemd, supervisor, or PM2)
|
|
|
|
### Option 2: Install on Production
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Install dependencies on production
|
|
pip install -r requirements.txt
|
|
|
|
# Run with production WSGI server (recommended)
|
|
pip install gunicorn
|
|
gunicorn -w 4 -b 0.0.0.0:3001 app:app
|
|
|
|
# Or use PM2 with Python
|
|
pm2 start app.py --name shopfloor-dashboard --interpreter python3
|
|
pm2 save
|
|
pm2 startup
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Note**: Flask's built-in server (`python3 app.py`) works for production if using a process manager, but gunicorn is recommended for higher traffic.
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
**Port already in use:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Use a different port
|
|
PORT=3001 python3 app.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Can't connect to database:**
|
|
- Verify MySQL is running
|
|
- Check credentials in environment variables or app.py
|
|
- Ensure database exists and user has permissions
|
|
- Verify `mysql-connector-python` is installed
|
|
|
|
**Dashboard not updating:**
|
|
- Check browser console for errors
|
|
- Verify `/api/notifications` endpoint returns data
|
|
- Check network connectivity
|
|
- Ensure Flask server is running
|
|
|
|
**Python module errors:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Reinstall dependencies
|
|
pip install -r requirements.txt
|
|
|
|
# Or install individually
|
|
pip install Flask mysql-connector-python
|
|
```
