Repos keeps local mirrors of git repositories, cloned over https and kept up to date on a schedule. - A Repo is a Collection (kind='repo') plus a `repository` row. The new `git` downloader clones it, then updates it (weekly by default, or Never: the clone is kept as it is and only updated on request). - Repos are saved in `repos/<tag>/<name>` (the Repos Directory, ignored by default) or a directory the user chooses. An existing clone can be imported where it is. repos.yaml is the source of truth. - A GitHub-like page shows each repo's README, files, and history, with a ZIP download. READMEs are searchable under the global search's Other tab. - git is hardened against hostile repos and configs: https only, pinned addresses with no private addresses (for the repo and its submodules), sanitized configs, no hooks or links, and only clones WROLPi made or imported are updated. - Tagging a Repo moves its clone as one directory. Repo changes wait for repos.yaml to be imported at startup. - The file mover groups unindexed files with no primary file as one FileGroup, and never replaces a file at the destination. A failed tag move restores the Collection's tag. A Collection's directory cannot leave the media directory. Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

docker-compose build --parallel
docker volume create --name=openstreetmap-data
docker volume create --name=openstreetmap-rendered-tiles
docker-compose run --rm api db upgrade
docker-compose up
Browse to https://localhost:8443

TLS Certificates
WROLPi uses a two-tier PKI for HTTPS. A root CA is generated once and persists in the media directory. A leaf certificate is regenerated on every container start to pick up hostname and IP changes.
How it works
- On first start, the
webcontainer generates a root CA at/opt/media/config/ssl/. - A leaf cert signed by the root CA is created at
/etc/ssl/caddy/inside the container. - Caddy serves HTTPS on ports 443, 8084, 8085, and 8086 using the leaf cert.
- The Controller serves on port 80 with a certificate trust banner when needed.
Trusting the certificate
- Browse to
http://<host-ip>to see the Controller. If the HTTPS certificate is not yet trusted, a banner will appear with the download link and platform-specific trust instructions. - Download and install the root CA on your device.
- All HTTPS ports will work without browser warnings.
The root CA only needs to be trusted once. Leaf certs can be regenerated (hostname change, container rebuild) without needing to re-trust.
Name Constraints
The root CA is restricted to local/private networks only via X.509 Name Constraints. Even if the CA key were compromised, it cannot sign certificates for public domains.
Permitted:
- DNS:
*.local,localhost - IPv4:
127.0.0.0/8,10.0.0.0/8,172.16.0.0/12,192.168.0.0/16 - IPv6:
::1,fc00::/7(unique local),fe80::/10(link-local)
EXTRA_SANS
The Docker container cannot discover the host's real LAN IP. Set EXTRA_SANS in a
.env file so the leaf certificate includes your host's IP and hostname:
# .env
EXTRA_SANS=IP:10.0.0.5,DNS:myhost.local
Each entry must have a type prefix (IP: or DNS:). Multiple entries are
comma-separated. After changing EXTRA_SANS, restart the web container:
docker compose up -d --build web
Regenerating the root CA
If you need to regenerate the root CA (e.g. after updating the certificate generation script), delete the old CA files and rebuild:
rm test/config/ssl/ca.crt test/config/ssl/ca.key
docker compose up -d --build web
All devices will need to re-download and re-trust the new CA from
http://<host-ip>/ca.crt.
Volumes
The test/ directory is mounted to /opt/media inside containers, serving as the
media directory for development. Certificate files, configs, and downloaded content
are stored here.
Two external volumes are required for the map service:
docker volume create --name=openstreetmap-data
docker volume create --name=openstreetmap-rendered-tiles
