You built a self-service catalogue admin on feature/admin-and-ui-wins while I built a
competing one that had already merged and deployed. Both forked from 27821cd. Per your
call, your implementation is the one that stays.
Kept from main (files your branch didn't touch, so no conflict):
- the CI test gate (tests now run and block the image)
- motion 12.42.2
- the platform contract test
Took from your branch:
- split AdminProductController / AdminCategoryController + ProductPhotoService (server-side
webp via cwebp)
- a real category table (Category, V3__categories.sql) behind the product filters
- pages/Admin.tsx, with server-side /admin protection that redirects a browser to Authentik
and returns it to /admin afterward — cleaner than my client-side gate, and it avoids the
post-login-to-home issue my version had
Deleted my competing admin (AdminController, MeController, pages/admin/*, auth.tsx, and my
admin tests).
Grafted onto your gallery: swipe + arrow keys, which the deployed version had and yours
didn't. Added an AdminSecurityTest for your endpoints (admin closed, shop public, contact
CSRF) — the admin was otherwise untested, and CI now gates on tests.
Verified against a running container: /admin redirects a browser to Authentik (a bare 401
only for */* fetches, which is correct). 25 tests green.
The Vine Coffeehouse + Bakery — itsthevine.com
Site for The Vine, 215 E Main Street, Princeville, Illinois. Spring Boot serving a Vite/React SPA, on the Bennett platform.
Previously a Next.js app on Cloudflare, then self-hosted; the look is unchanged.
Shape
| Backend | Spring Boot 4 / Java 25, com.itsthevine.web |
| Frontend | Vite + React 19 + TypeScript + Tailwind v4, served from the jar |
| Database | Postgres (itsthevine on the shared app-db cluster), Flyway |
| Photos | public MinIO bucket itsthevine — not in the repo or the image |
| Deploy | Gitea CI → image → Watchtower → Caddy |
What the server owns
The SPA renders; it doesn't decide anything.
/api/products,/api/categories— the catalogue, its curated order, the category filter and the absolute image URLs. This was a TypeScript array shipped to every visitor; it's now a table (V2__products.sql) read throughProductCatalog./api/contact— validates, records the enquiry, emails it, then fans out to the n8n hub. Recorded before sending on purpose: a relay outage costs a notification, not the enquiry. Undelivered ones areenquiry.delivered = false. Validation and delivery come fromplatform-starter-contact, shared with the other sites.- Per-page metadata —
PageMetaControllerrewrites<title>/<meta>/OG tags per route. Next used to server-render these; a plain SPA would hand crawlers and link-preview scrapers one generic shell.
/admin
The catalogue is editable from the site: add an item with a photo and a name, reorder it, rename or reorder the category filters. Nothing there needs a deploy or a migration — which is the point, since the person adding a cake is the person who baked it.
Photos are resized, stripped of EXIF, converted to webp and put in the bucket on upload
(ProductPhotoService, using cwebp from libwebp-tools — the pure-Java encoders either can't write
webp or ship glibc natives that don't run on Alpine).
The admin only exists when SECURITY_MODE=OIDC. AdminProductController and
AdminCategoryController are @ConditionalOnProperty on it, so a deployment that forgets to configure
Authentik gets 404s rather than catalogue writes open to the internet. /admin and /api/admin/** are
both authenticated paths: a browser opening the page is sent to Authentik first, while fetch calls get
a bare 401 to handle.
Known gap: StorageService has no delete, so removing a product or a photo leaves the object in the
bucket. Harmless — nothing links to it — but it accumulates.
Photos
Re-encoded to webp and uploaded to the bucket once (50 MB of originals → 14 MB), served with a
year-long cache. site.assets.base-url says where they live. The originals remain in this repo's
history. EXIF (including GPS from phone photos) is stripped by the re-encode.
Local development
# backend (needs Postgres on :5432 with an itsthevine database)
mvn spring-boot:run
# frontend, proxies /api to :8080
cd frontend && npm install && npm run dev # http://localhost:2024
Build without the SPA for quick backend loops: mvn -DskipFrontend=true package.
Tests need Docker (Testcontainers):
mvn verify
Configuration
| Variable | Purpose |
|---|---|
DB_URL / DB_USER / DB_PASSWORD |
Postgres |
SMTP_SERVER / SMTP_PORT / SMTP_USERNAME / SMTP_TOKEN |
relay for the contact form |
CONTACT_TO / CONTACT_FROM |
enquiry recipient and envelope sender |
CONTACT_HUB_URL |
optional n8n webhook; best-effort, never blocks a submission |
SITE_BASE_URL |
absolute base for og:url |
VITE_ASSET_BASE / site.assets.base-url |
photo bucket |
SECURITY_MODE |
OIDC turns on Authentik login and brings /admin into existence. Unset = brochure site, no admin |
STORAGE_ENDPOINT / STORAGE_ACCESS_KEY / STORAGE_SECRET_KEY / STORAGE_BUCKET |
MinIO, for admin photo uploads. Blank endpoint leaves storage switched off |
With SECURITY_MODE=OIDC the app also needs the standard Spring OAuth2 client properties for the
Authentik application — SPRING_SECURITY_OAUTH2_CLIENT_REGISTRATION_* and
..._PROVIDER_*_ISSUER_URI. The starter configures the filter chain, not the identity provider.
A missing CONTACT_TO stops the app from starting. That is deliberate: application.yaml maps it
to platform.contact.to, and an unset variable leaves the property present-but-empty, which is enough
to activate the contact starter. Without the @NotBlank check in platform-starter-contact the site
would come up, show a working contact form, and mail every enquiry to nobody. Better to fail on deploy
than to lose a week of orders.
