The admin idle timeout (30 min) was refreshed only by navigations and HTMX requests. During long encoding sessions on an open form there are none, so an actively-typing admin was logged out mid-work after ~30-45 min. Add an activity-driven keepalive: - /admin/session-keepalive.php: 204 when authenticated (refreshes admin_last_activity via AdminAuth::isAuthenticated()), 401 otherwise. - admin-session-keepalive.js: marks activity only on real user input (pointer/keyboard/input/scroll/wheel/touch/focus) and pings at most once per 5 min while the tab is visible. A genuinely idle tab never pings, so the idle timeout still applies. Raise the idle window 30 min -> 4 h: for a single-/few-admin back-office whose main workflow is data entry, 30 min still kicked admins who stepped away mid-form. With the keepalive in place, 4 h means "no interaction at all", not "no navigation". Absolute timeout stays 12 h. Also fix session ID rotation, which never fired: it used `$absolute % IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS === 0`, i.e. required a request to land exactly on a multiple of the interval relative to login time. Replaced with an explicit admin_last_rotation timestamp and a ROTATION_INTERVAL_SECONDS (30 min) constant decoupled from the idle timeout, so raising the idle window does not widen the fixation/replay window. Refactor AdminAuth::enforceSessionTimeout() to return bool instead of redirecting/exiting, so the keepalive endpoint can report 401 cleanly rather than letting fetch follow a redirect to the login page. Smoke test (just smoke-session-keepalive) covers activity refresh, 2 h idle accepted, rotation firing, idle rejection+destruction, and unauthenticated rejection. Docs updated.

Requirements
- PHP ≥ 8.4 (with
ext-json,ext-openssl,ext-pdo,ext-sqlite3) - Composer
- Node.js / npm
- nginx (production)
Development
# one-time
composer install
npm ci
# run the dev server (builds assets, applies migrations, opens a browser)
just dev # http://127.0.0.1:8000 (public) and /admin/
just stop # stop it
Live CSS/JS rebuilds happen automatically via a chokidar watcher while just dev runs.
See docs/development.md for the full workflow.
Deployment
Files are pushed to the server with rsync — there is no repo on the remote.
just deploy # rsync app files → xamxam:/var/www/xamxam/
just deploy-db # push local xamxam.db → remote (only if remote DB is absent)
deploy-db refuses to run if a database already exists on the server, to avoid
accidental overwrites of production data.
First-time server setup
First bootstrap the role/user/dirs with scripts/setup-server.sh, then the one-shot
remote provisioning recipe, which deploys code, nginx, and cron jobs:
# 1. role/user/dir bootstrap (creates xamxam group, /var/www/xamxam, perms):
# equivalent to: ssh -t xamxam "sudo DEPLOY_USER=\$USER bash /tmp/setup-server.sh"
rsync scripts/setup-server.sh xamxam:/tmp/setup-server.sh
ssh -t xamxam "sudo DEPLOY_USER=\$USER bash /tmp/setup-server.sh"
# 2. full provisioning (env/APP_KEY + deploy + nginx + backup + cleanup cron + logrotate):
just provision-server
Fresh box caveat:
provision-serverassumessetup-server.shalready ran. On a truly empty/var/www/xamxam, runsetup-server.sh(or re-applydeploy-server.shviajust deploy-nginx) first, otherwise the deploy's rsync hitsPermission deniedonstorage/.
just deploy / just deploy-nginx apply code + nginx config:
just deploy
just deploy-nginx # included in `just deploy` and `just provision-server`
See docs/deployment.md for the full workflow and the podman test environment in test-env/README.md to validate any of this against a fresh throwaway box.
Security notes
- Admin panel protected by PHP session (
AdminAuth) — password-only, no username - Uploads stored outside webroot, served via controlled
/media(MediaController) - Rate limiting on public search (
app/src/RateLimit.php) - See
nginx/docs/SECURITY_HEADERS.mdfor security headers reference
