django-orchestra-test/TODO.md

TODO ====

• scape strings before executing scripts in order to prevent exploits: django templates automatically scapes things. Most important is to ensuer that all escape ' to &quot

• Don't store passwords and other service parameters that can be changed by the services i.e. mailman, vps etc. Find an execution mechanism that trigger change_password()

• abort transaction on orchestration when state == TIMEOUT ?

• filter and other user.is_main refactoring

• use format_html_join for orchestration email alerts

• generic form for change and display passwords and crack change password form

• enforce an emergency email contact and account to contact contacts about problems when mailserver is down

• add BackendLog retry action

• PHPbBckendMiixin with get_php_ini

• webmail identities and addresses

• user.roles.mailbox its awful when combined with addresses:

  • address.mailboxes filter by account is crap in admin and api
  • address.mailboxes api needs a mailbox object endpoint (not nested user)
  • Its not intuitive, users expect to create mailboxes, not users!
  • Mailbox is something tangible, not a role!

• System user vs virtual user:

  • system user automatically hast @domain.com address :(

• use Code: https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/forms/forms.py#L415 for domain.refresh_serial()

• Permissions .filter_queryset()

• git deploy in addition to FTP?

• env vars instead of multiple settings files: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/config-vars ?

• optional chroot shell?

• make sure prefetch_related() is used correctly Remember that, as always with QuerySets, any subsequent chained methods which imply a different database query will ignore previously cached results, and retrieve data using a fresh database query.

• profile select_related vs prefetch_related

• Log changes from rest api (serialized objects)

• passlib; nano /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/passlib/ext/django/utils.py SortedDict -> collections.OrderedDict

• pip install pyinotify

• Timezone awareness on monitoring system (reading server-side logs with different TZ than orchestra) maybe a settings value? (use UTC internally, timezone.localtime() when interacting with servers)

• EMAIL backend operations which contain stderr messages (because under certain failures status code is still 0)

• Settings dictionary like DRF2 in order to better override large settings like WEBSITES_APPLICATIONS.etc

• DOCUMENT: orchestration.middleware: we need to know when an operation starts and ends in order to perform bulk server updates and also to wait for related objects to be saved (base object is saved first and then related) orders.signales: we perform changes right away because data model state can change under monitoring and other periodik task, and we should keep orders consistency under any situation. dependency collector with max_recursion that matches the number of dots on service.match and service.metric

• backend logs with hal logo

• Use logs for storing monitored values

• set_password orchestration method?

• make account_link to autoreplace account on change view.

• LAST version of this shit http://wkhtmltopdf.org/downloads.html

• translations from django.utils import translation with translation.override('en'):

• Plurals!

• help_text on readonly_fields specialy Bill.state. (eg. A bill is in OPEN state when bla bla )

• Transaction states: CREATED, PROCESSED, EXECUTED, COMMITED, ABORTED (SECURED, REJECTED?)

  • bill.send() -> transacction.EXECUTED when source=None
  • transaction.secured() -> bill.paid when bill.total == transaction.value else Error
  • bill.paid() -> transacton.SECURED
  • bill.bad_debt() -> transaction.ABORTED
  • transaction.ABORTED -> bill.bad_debt
  • Issue new transaction when current transaction is ABORTED

• underescore every private function

• create log file at /var/log/orchestra.log and rotate

• order.register_at @property def register_on(self): return order.register_at.date()

• mail backend related_models = ('resources__content_type') ??

• Domain backend PowerDNS Bind validation support?

• Maildir billing tests/ webdisk billing tests (avg metric)

• move icons to apps, and use appconfig to cleanup config stuff

• when using modeladmin to store shit like self.account, make sure to have a cleanslate in each request

• jabber with mailbox accounts (dovecto mail notification)

• rename accounts register to manager register or accounttools, accountutils

• take a look icons from ajenti ;)

• Disable services is_active should be computed on the fly in order to distinguish account.is_active from service.is_active when reactivation.

  • Perhaps it is time to create a ServiceModel ?

• prevent deletion of main user by the user itself

• AccountAdminMixin auto adds 'account__name' on searchfields and handle account_link on fieldsets

• Separate panel from server passwords? Store passwords on panel? set_password special backend operation?

• What fields we really need on contacts? name email phone and what more?

• Redirect junk emails and delete every 30 days?

• DOC: Complitely decouples scripts execution, billing, service definition

• delete main user -> delete account or prevent delete main user

• Ansible orchestration method (methods.py)

• multiple domains creation; line separated domains

• Move MU webapps to SaaS?

• offer to create mailbox on account creation

• init.d celery scripts -# Required-Start: $network $local_fs $remote_fs postgresql celeryd -# Required-Stop: $network $local_fs $remote_fs postgresql celeryd

• for list virtual_domains cleaning up we need to know the old domain name when a list changes its address domain, but this is not possible with the current design.

• regenerate virtual_domains every time (configure a separate file for orchestra on postfix)

• update_fields=[] doesn't trigger post save!

• Backend optimization

  • fields = ()
  • ignore_fields = ()
  • based on a merge set of save(update_fields)

• textwrap.dedent( \)

• parmiko write to a channel instead of transfering files? http://sysadmin.circularvale.com/programming/paramiko-channel-hangs/

• proforma without billing contact?

• env ORCHESTRA_MASTER_SERVER='test1.orchestra.lan' ORCHESTRA_SECOND_SERVER='test2.orchestra.lan' ORCHESTRA_SLAVE_SERVER='test3.orchestra.lan' python manage.py test orchestra.apps.domains.tests.functional_tests.tests:AdminBind9BackendDomainTest

• Pangea modifications: domain registered/non-registered list_display and field with register link: inconsistent, what happen to related objects with a domain that is converted to register-only?

• ForeignKey.swappable

• Field.editable

• ManyToManyField.symmetrical = False (user group)

• REST PERMISSIONS

• caching based on def text2int(textnum, numwords={}) ?:

• Subdomain saving should not trigger bind slave

• multiple files monitoring

• prevent adding local email addresses on account.contacts account.email

• Resource monitoring without ROUTE alert or explicit error

• Domain validation has to be done with injected records and subdomains

• Names: lower andupper case allow or disallow ? webapps/account.username etc

• Split plans into a separate app (plans and rates / services ) ?

• reconsider binding webapps to systemusers (pangea multiple users wordpress-ftp, moodle-pangea, etc)

• sync() ServiceController method that synchronizes orchestra and servers (delete or import)

• validate address.forward: if mailbox in account.mailboxes then: _("Please use mailboxes field") or consider removing mailbox support on forward (user@pangea.org instead)

• reespell systemuser to system_user

• remove order in account admin and others

• create admin prefetch_related on ExtendedModelAdmin

• Databases.User add reverse M2M databases widget (like mailbox.addresses)

• One domain zone validation for each save, not one per subdomain, maybe on modeladmin.save_related? prevent save on model_related, and save it on save_related()

• Change permissions periodically on the web server, to ensure security

• Apache RLimit ?

• Patch suexec: if user mismatch, check user belongs to suexecusergroup group

• fuck suexec http://www.litespeedtech.com/support/forum/threads/solved-cloudlinux-php-lsapi-say-no-to-suexec.5812/

• http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/httpd-dev/201409.mbox/%3C5411FFBE.9050506@loginroot.com%3E ??

• Root owned logs on user's home ?

• Secondary user home in /home/secondaryuser and simlink to /home/main/webapps/app so it can have private storage?

• Grant permissions like in webfaction

• Secondaryusers home should be under mainuser home. i.e. /home/mainuser/webapps/seconduser_webapp/

• Make one dedicated CGI user for each account only for CGI execution (fpm/fcgid). Different from the files owner, and without W permissions, so attackers can not inject backdors and malware.

• In most cases we can prevent the creation of files for the CGI users, preventing attackers to upload and executing PHPShells.

• Make main systemuser able to write/read everything on its home, including stuff created by the CGI user and secondary users

• Prevent users from accessing other users home while at the same time allow access Apache/fcgid/fpm and secondary users (x)

• public_html/webapps directory with root owner and permissions

• resource min max allocation with validation

• mailman needs both aliases when address_name is provided (default messages and bounces and all)

• specify field on ValidationError under model.clean() of form.clean(): ValidationError({'bark_volume': ["Must be louder!",]}

  • And raise ValidationError once at the end collecting all errors at once
