Slice 3 of the self-update story, the user-facing piece. The existing
CLI update flow now has a button next to it.
API additions (furtka/api.py):
- POST /api/furtka/update/check — thin wrapper around updater.check_update
- POST /api/furtka/update/apply — pre-checks the lockfile (409 on conflict)
then kicks the updater off via systemd-run as a detached transient unit,
so the update outlives the furtka-api restart it triggers. Returns 202
with the unit name.
- GET /api/furtka/update/status — returns the current update-state.json
UI additions (furtka/assets/www/settings/index.html):
- New "Furtka updates" card above Appearance showing installed +
latest-available versions with Check + Update buttons.
- On apply: starts polling /update-state.json every 2s. That file is
Caddy-served (not API-served) so the mid-update API restart doesn't
interrupt progress reporting. Stage labels get plain-English strings
(Downloading release… / Verifying signature… / etc.). On done: 5s
grace, then location.reload() so the user sees the new version live.
On rolled_back: red status with the reason string.
Tests (tests/test_api.py):
- 5 new tests covering both endpoint return shapes (success, 502 when
updater.check_update raises, 409 when lock held, 202 on dispatch,
status passthrough).

Phase 1 of updates. User clicks Update on an installed app row →
the resource manager runs `docker compose pull`, compares the
running container's image ID to the just-pulled local image ID
per service, and only runs `docker compose up -d` if something
actually changed. Response is {updated: bool, services: [{service,
from, to, tag}]} so the UI can tell the user what happened.
Deliberately small: no pinning, no background checks, no "update
all" button, no version/changelog display. The update flow doesn't
mutate the compose file — it just acts on what's already there.
Reinstall still serves as rollback.
New dockerops helpers: compose_pull, compose_image_tags (parses
`docker compose config --format json`), local_image_id (via
`docker image inspect`), running_container_image_id (via compose
ps --quiet + docker inspect). Six new tests cover the endpoint:
not installed, no changes, changes applied, service not running,
docker pull error, and the HTTP route end-to-end.

Slice 2 of the on-box UI uplevel. The resource-manager API already
returned the icon filename in each manifest summary, but the /apps
page never rendered it — and there was no endpoint to fetch the
file either. This inlines the SVG content directly into the JSON
response (one round-trip, Doherty Threshold) and injects it into
each app card's new icon slot on the left.
_read_icon_svg defends against the obvious SVG-XSS vectors (script
tags, on* handlers, javascript: URLs) and rejects anything over
16 KB. The trust model stays what it was — bundled apps are built
into the ISO, the install API has no auth — but the filter keeps
accidents from becoming exploits if an icon gets swapped upstream.
/apps now shows a generic folder fallback for any app without a
parseable icon.svg; slice 3 ships the real fileshare artwork.

End-to-end VM test today (2026-04-15) validated the resource manager
golden path but exposed four things blocking "dein-Vater-tauglich":
no way to configure an app without SSH+editor, no openssh, no nano,
keyboard stuck on US, and a samba healthcheck that cried wolf.
Resource-manager side:
- Manifest schema gains optional `settings` list (name/label/
description/type/required/default) and `description_long`.
- Bundled-app install opens a form rendered from the manifest;
submit carries values to `POST /api/apps/install` which writes
them into the new app's `.env` before the placeholder check runs.
- Installed apps grow an "Einstellungen" button that merges a
partial settings dict into the existing `.env` (unsubmitted
password fields = keep current), then reconciles to restart.
- New endpoints: `GET/POST /api/apps/<name>/settings`. Passwords
are never returned to the client.
- Fileshare manifest declares its SMB_USER/SMB_PASSWORD settings
in German with help text.
ISO side (so the next build is actually usable on the TTY):
- Add `openssh` to the package list + `sshd` to enabled services.
`archinstall: true` in 4.x did not install openssh-server.
- Add `nano` — `vim` was the only editor pitched at users, which
is brutal for first-timers (and was missing anyway).
- Keyboard layout follows the installer language (`de→de`, `pl→pl`,
`en→us`) instead of hardcoded `us`. A German user couldn't type
`/` or `-` at the console, making even `sudo nano` painful.
- Disable the dperson/samba healthcheck in the compose override —
it timed out on every probe while the share itself worked fine.
19 new tests (manifest parsing + settings-merge + two new API
endpoints over live HTTP); 94 total, format + lint clean.

Adds the management UI Daniel asked for end-of-session. Goes beyond
the original MVP scope (plan punted UI to v2) but the architecture
already supports it cleanly: stdlib http.server only, no new deps.
- furtka.api: minimal HTTP server. GET / serves a self-contained
HTML page (dark-mode card list, vanilla JS, no build step). GET
/api/apps + /api/bundled return JSON. POST /api/apps/{install,
remove} accept {"name": "..."} and call the same installer +
reconciler the CLI uses, so the placeholder-secret refusal and
per-app reconcile isolation flow through unchanged.
- furtka.cli: new `furtka serve` subcommand. Imports api lazily so
`furtka app list` / `reconcile` startup stays zero-cost.
- webinstaller: new furtka-api.service (Type=simple, restart on
failure, after reconcile). Caddyfile gets two new handle blocks
to reverse-proxy /api and /apps to localhost:7000. Landing page's
"App store coming soon" tile becomes a real "Manage installed apps
→" link to /apps.
- Bound to 127.0.0.1 by default; Caddy makes it LAN-reachable. The
UI shouts a "no auth, anyone on your LAN can install/remove" warning
at the top — Authentik integration is the proper fix later.
UX wrinkle worth noting: a placeholder-rejected install leaves the
app in /var/lib/furtka/apps/<name>/ (so the user can edit .env in
place). To re-trigger after editing, the Installed list now shows
both Reinstall and Remove buttons.
10 new tests: helper functions (list_installed, list_bundled with
hide-already-installed), install/remove endpoints with the no_docker
fixture, and two real-socket urllib smoke tests that boot the actual
HTTPServer on an ephemeral port and round-trip GET / + POST.
