# JQC Features Site Single-page, modern site for LT Services' JQC program. Numbered sections; each topic shows title only until clicked, then expands to reveal text, links, photos, or videos. Stack: **Flask + MySQL + Gunicorn + systemd + Nginx** on Ubuntu 24.04. ``` app.py Flask app + Section/Topic/DemoRequest models + routes admin.py /admin panel (content CRUD, audit log, demo inbox) mailer.py stdlib SMTP notifications (best-effort, threaded) config.py env-driven config (DB, demo booking, SMTP) schema.sql MySQL DDL + seed content (safe to re-run) add_demo.sql additive migration: demo_request table templates/index.html templates/demo.html booking form (+ demo_thanks.html) static/css/style.css static/js/main.js accordion expand/collapse gunicorn.conf.py deploy/jqc-features.service deploy/nginx.conf .env.example ``` --- ## Deploy ### 1. Database (run once) ```bash sudo mysql < schema.sql sudo mysql -e "CREATE USER IF NOT EXISTS 'jqc_features'@'127.0.0.1' IDENTIFIED BY 'CHANGE_ME'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON jqc_features.* TO 'jqc_features'@'127.0.0.1'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;" ``` `schema.sql` is idempotent — re-running updates seed content in place, never duplicates rows. ### 2. Code ```bash sudo useradd -r -s /usr/sbin/nologin jqcweb # service account sudo mkdir -p /opt/jqc-features sudo rsync -a ./ /opt/jqc-features/ # copy project here cd /opt/jqc-features sudo python3 -m venv venv sudo ./venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt sudo cp .env.example .env # then edit .env with the real DB_PASSWORD sudo chown -R jqcweb:jqcweb /opt/jqc-features ``` ### 3. Service (systemd — separate from DB step) ```bash sudo cp deploy/jqc-features.service /etc/systemd/system/ sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl enable --now jqc-features sudo systemctl status jqc-features # confirm active (running) curl -s http://127.0.0.1:8000/healthz # -> {"status":"ok"} ``` ### 4. Nginx ```bash # edit server_name in deploy/nginx.conf first sudo cp deploy/nginx.conf /etc/nginx/sites-available/jqc-features sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/jqc-features /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ sudo nginx -t && sudo systemctl reload nginx # TLS: sudo certbot --nginx -d features.ltservicesinc.com ``` --- ## Adding photos, videos, or links to a topic Content lives in the `topic` table. No code change needed — update rows, then the page picks them up on next load. Text only (default): ```sql UPDATE topic SET body_html='

New copy with bold.

' WHERE slug='comprehensive-checklists'; ``` Add a photo: ```sql UPDATE topic SET media_type='image', media_url='/static/img/checklist.jpg', media_caption='Timestamped inspection photo' WHERE slug='comprehensive-checklists'; ``` (Put the file in `static/img/` — create the folder — or use any absolute URL, e.g. a Cloudflare R2 link.) Add an uploaded video: ```sql UPDATE topic SET media_type='video', media_url='/static/vid/demo.mp4' WHERE slug='real-time-issue-tracking'; ``` Embed a YouTube clip: ```sql UPDATE topic SET media_type='embed', media_url='https://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID' WHERE slug='notifications-and-qr-access'; ``` Add a button link (works alongside any media): ```sql UPDATE topic SET link_url='https://jqc.ltservicesinc.com', link_label='Open the portal' WHERE slug='shared-inspector-access'; ``` `media_type` values: `none`, `image`, `video`, `embed`. ## Add a whole new section or topic ```sql INSERT INTO section (num,title,subtitle,sort_order) VALUES (5,'New Section','Optional subtitle',50); INSERT INTO topic (section_id,slug,title,body_html,media_type,sort_order) VALUES ((SELECT id FROM section WHERE num=5), 'my-new-topic','My New Topic','

Content.

','none',10); ``` Sections order by `sort_order`; topics order by `sort_order` within a section. --- ## Admin panel (browser editing) Instead of SQL, edit content at **`/admin`**. Single admin account, session login, CSRF-protected forms, and every create/update/delete is written to `audit_log`. ### One-time setup 1. **Already-deployed DB?** add the audit table and the publish column: ```bash sudo mysql < add_admin.sql # audit_log (admin panel) sudo mysql < add_publish.sql # topic.is_published (draft/publish) ``` (New deploys skip this — `schema.sql` already includes both.) 2. Set these in `/opt/jqc-features/.env`: ```bash SECRET_KEY=$(python3 -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_hex(32))") ADMIN_USERNAME=admin ADMIN_PASSWORD_HASH= SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE=1 # keep 1 in production (HTTPS) ``` Generate the password hash (never store the plaintext): ```bash ./venv/bin/python -c "from werkzeug.security import generate_password_hash as g; print(g('YOUR_PASSWORD'))" ``` 3. Install the new dependency and restart: ```bash sudo ./venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt sudo systemctl restart jqc-features ``` Then visit `https://your-domain/admin`, sign in, and manage content. ### What you can do - **Dashboard** — every section with its topics; edit or delete inline. **Drag the ⠿ handles** to reorder topics within a section, or reorder whole sections; the new order saves instantly (no page reload). - **Publish / Unpublish** — each topic has a one-click toggle, and a Published checkbox on its edit form. Drafts show a `draft` badge and are hidden from the public site. A section whose topics are all drafts is hidden entirely. - **Add / edit topic** — section, title, slug (auto if blank), a **rich-text body editor** (bold/italic/underline, H2/H3, lists, blockquote, links — no HTML knowledge needed), media (image / video / embed) + caption, an optional link button, and sort order. - **Add / edit section** — number (`§NN`, unique), title, subtitle, sort order. - Deleting a section cascades to its topics (with a confirm prompt). - **Audit log** (`/admin/audit`, "Audit" in the nav) — read-only view of every change, newest first, filterable by action and type, paginated 50/page. Times are UTC. The editor (Quill 2 + quill-table-better) and drag library (SortableJS) are **vendored locally** under `static/vendor/` — no CDN dependency, so they work on a locked-down server and survive a strict CSP. The body toolbar supports **inline images** and **tables** with **drag-to-resize columns/rows** and a floating cell menu for **alignment, borders and background** (merge/split too). Images are uploaded via `POST /admin/upload` — the file is stored under `static/uploads/` and referenced by URL, so the database stays small (no base64). Rich-text HTML is sanitized on save (`bleach` + `tinycss2` CSS sanitizer): a tag allowlist covers images and tables, and inline `style` is filtered to a small CSS-property allowlist (width/alignment/border/background) so a paste can't inject markup, `javascript:`, `data:`, or dangerous CSS into the public page. If the editor ever fails to load, the body field degrades to a plain textarea — a save never wipes content. `static/uploads/` must be writable by the app user (`jqc`) in production: `sudo -u jqc mkdir -p static/uploads`. Uploaded files are gitignored. ### Notes - `SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE=1` means the login cookie only sends over HTTPS. For a quick plain-HTTP test on the box, set it to `0` — never in production. - `SECRET_KEY` must be stable and secret; changing it logs everyone out. - `WTF_CSRF_TIME_LIMIT` blank keeps a token valid for the whole session, so a long edit never 400s on save; set an integer (seconds) to re-enable expiry. - The admin routes live under `/admin`; the public page and `schema.sql` SQL workflow above still work unchanged. --- ## Brute-force protection (fail2ban) Every login attempt is written to `logs/auth.log` (rotating, 1 MB × 5) with the real client IP: ``` 2026-07-22 12:00:00,123 jqc.auth WARNING FAILED LOGIN user=admin from 203.0.113.5 2026-07-22 12:00:05,456 jqc.auth INFO LOGIN OK user=admin from 203.0.113.5 ``` The real IP comes from `ProxyFix` reading nginx's `X-Forwarded-For` (gunicorn binds 127.0.0.1, so the header can't be spoofed from outside). Config ships in `deploy/fail2ban/`. ### Install ```bash sudo apt-get install -y fail2ban sudo cp deploy/fail2ban/filter.d/jqc-admin.conf /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/ sudo cp deploy/fail2ban/jail.d/jqc-admin.local /etc/fail2ban/jail.d/ # edit logpath in the jail file if your app dir differs from /home/jqc/jqc_features sudo systemctl enable --now fail2ban sudo systemctl restart fail2ban ``` Default policy: **5 failures in 10 min → 1 h ban** (`maxretry`/`findtime`/`bantime` in the jail file). ### Verify ```bash # regex matches the log lines: sudo fail2ban-regex logs/auth.log deploy/fail2ban/filter.d/jqc-admin.conf # jail is live: sudo fail2ban-client status jqc-admin ``` `fail2ban-regex` should report matches equal to the number of `FAILED LOGIN` lines. `status` shows currently banned IPs. ### Scope note This jail bans credential-guessing that reaches the password check (a real browser session with a valid CSRF token). Dumb bots that POST without a CSRF token get an HTTP 400 and never reach the check — they can't guess a password anyway. To also throttle those, add an nginx `limit_req` on `/admin/login`. --- ## Demo appointments The **Request a demo** button at the bottom of the public page opens `/demo`, a booking form: name, company, email, phone, preferred date + time slot, and a message. Valid submissions are stored in `demo_request` and the owner is emailed; the customer gets a confirmation copy. ```bash sudo mysql < add_demo.sql # existing databases only; schema.sql has it too ``` Then set in `.env` and restart (`sudo systemctl restart jqc-features`): ``` DEMO_NOTIFY_EMAIL=info@ltservicesinc.com SMTP_HOST=smtp.yourprovider.com SMTP_PORT=587 SMTP_USER=notifications@ltservicesinc.com SMTP_PASSWORD=... MAIL_FROM=notifications@ltservicesinc.com DEMO_TIMEZONE_LABEL=Eastern Time ``` Bookable hours default to 08:00–16:30 in 30-minute slots, weekdays, up to 90 days ahead (`DEMO_HOUR_START`, `DEMO_HOUR_END`, `DEMO_SLOT_MINUTES`, `DEMO_MAX_DAYS_AHEAD`). A slot already taken by a non-cancelled request can't be booked twice. **Mail is best-effort:** it goes out on a background thread *after* the request is saved, and a failure is logged rather than shown to the visitor. With `SMTP_HOST` blank no mail is sent at all — requests still appear in the admin panel, so nothing is ever lost. Manage them at **`/admin/demos`**: open requests first, filter by status (`new` / `scheduled` / `done` / `cancelled`), set a status or delete. The nav badge counts unhandled ones. Every action is written to the audit log under the `demo` type.
