# WebChecker--Web-app-
|
||||
# Website Checker — Web Application
|
||||
|
||||
A full-stack web application for monitoring government procurement websites across team shifts. Converted from a Tkinter desktop application, sharing the same MySQL database.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Website Checker helps teams track which government websites need to be checked during each shift, manage bid/procurement opportunities, and run AI-powered document analysis on solicitation files. Administrators manage users, websites, shifts, and view reports; regular users work through their daily or weekly checklists.

## Features
|
||||
|
||||
### All Users
|
||||
- **Shift Checklist** — Sites grouped by Daily / Weekly frequency, collapsible groups, live progress bar, bulk-check, search filter
|
||||
- **Site Credentials** — View stored credentials (password masked, copy-to-clipboard)
|
||||
- **Per-site Notes** — Add or update notes per check, displayed in a dedicated row under the site card
|
||||
- **AI Document Analysis** — Upload PDF / DOCX / XLSX / TXT solicitation files; AI extracts solicitation number, scope of work, due dates, driving distance from office, and evaluates against criteria
|
||||
- **Bid Tracker** — Split-pane view of all tracked opportunities; post updates, filter by status, search by title / source / solicitation number
|

|
||||
- **Dashboard** — KPI cards (users, active today, total sites) and per-user completion progress
|
||||
- **User Management** — Create, edit, activate/deactivate users; role assignment (admin / user)
|
||||
- **Website Management** — CRUD for monitored sites with credentials, check type (daily/weekly), and user assignment
|
||||
- **Shift Management** — Define shifts with days-of-week, time windows, assigned users and sites
|
||||
- **Reports** — Shift detail, unchecked sites, and summary reports with date/user/site filters; CSV export
|
||||
- **Logs** — Activity log (user actions) and application log (system events) with search and purge
|
||||
- **Settings** — SMTP email configuration and Groq AI API key / model selection
|

## Environment Variables
|
||||
|
||||
Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and fill in all values:
|
||||
|
||||
```dotenv
|
||||
SECRET_KEY= # Flask session secret — generate with: python3 -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_hex(32))"
|
||||
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
|
||||
DB_PORT=3306
|
||||
DB_NAME=webchecker
|
||||
DB_USER=webchecker_user
|
||||
DB_PASSWORD=
|
||||
CRYPTO_SECRET= # Fernet key — generate with: python3 -c "from cryptography.fernet import Fernet; print(Fernet.generate_key().decode())"
|
||||
GROQ_API_KEY= # Optional — used by AI Summary feature
|
||||
FLASK_ENV=production
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> **Important:** `CRYPTO_SECRET` must match the key used by the desktop app if you are sharing the database. The salt for encryption is stored in the `app_settings` table under `crypto.salt`.
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Database Compatibility
|
||||
|
||||
This web application shares the MySQL database with the desktop application. Key compatibility notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Encryption** — `utils/crypto.py` uses the exact same key derivation as the desktop (`APP_SECRET = b"WebsiteChecker-v1-CredentialKey"`, 100,000 PBKDF2 iterations, base64 salt, `enc:` prefix). Credentials are interchangeable between apps.
|
||||
- **`activity_log`** — The live database column is `logged_at` (desktop schema). Queries use `al.logged_at AS created_at` for template compatibility.
|
||||
- **`app_settings`** — On startup, `initialize_database()` seeds any settings keys that are blank in the DB from the corresponding `.env` variables (e.g. `GROQ_API_KEY → groq.api_key`), using `ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE … IF(value = '', …)` so admin-saved values are never overwritten.
|
||||
- **`login_attempts.ip_address`** — The only additive column the web app creates. Added via `ALTER TABLE … ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS` on startup.

||||

## Development
|
||||
|
||||
### Run locally
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Clone and enter the project
|
||||
cd webchecker_web
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Create and activate a virtual environment
|
||||
python3 -m venv venv
|
||||
source venv/bin/activate
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Install dependencies
|
||||
pip install -r requirements.txt
|
||||
|
||||
# 4. Configure environment
|
||||
cp .env.example .env
|
||||
# Edit .env with your local MySQL credentials
|
||||
|
||||
# 5. Run the development server
|
||||
python app.py
|
||||
# Open http://localhost:5000
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Restart the production service
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo systemctl restart webchecker
|
||||
sudo journalctl -u webchecker -f
|
||||
```
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Security Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- Passwords are hashed with bcrypt (12 rounds); legacy SHA-256 hashes from the desktop app are automatically rehashed on next login.
|
||||
- Sessions expire after **30 minutes** of inactivity. A client-side warning fires 5 minutes before expiry.
|
||||
- Login is rate-limited: 5 failed attempts locks the account for 15 minutes.
|
||||
- Credentials stored in `website_credentials` are Fernet-encrypted at rest. Plaintext legacy values (without the `enc:` prefix) are returned as-is for backward compatibility.
|
||||
- `SECRET_KEY` must remain stable across restarts — changing it invalidates all active sessions.
|
||||
