The shared delete page asked only whether to delete the object. Each
view now gives its consequence: a deleted compute's VMs keep running
but the panel forgets them and their owners, a deleted user's VMs
stay, a group's members keep their accounts, a VM's owner loses only
the access, a removed VM's record no longer brings its owners back,
an SSH key stays on the VMs that have it, a flavor only goes as a
size template.

The login page showed its sign-in card to a user who was already signed
in, with the navbar squeezed beside it. Both login views, with and
without OTP, now send that user to the page in next, or to the default
page when next is missing or points elsewhere. Every permission check
answers 403 instead of redirecting to the login, so this cannot loop.
The page test renders the login page signed out.

Column offsets without a breakpoint applied below it, where the column
is already full width, so the change password, compute, user, VM
create and VM settings forms ran past the right edge on a phone. Each
offset now starts at its column's breakpoint. The interface and network
detail lists were rows directly inside rows and sit in a column now;
the compute form loses a Bootstrap 3 thumbnail padding that broke its
gutters, and the add-rule dialog's hint is no longer cut off. The page
test checks both grid rules on every page.

Twenty tables had no .table-responsive wrapper, so on a phone the user
list, compute list, VM lists, network and network filter pages scrolled
sideways as a whole. Each table now scrolls inside its box, as the
other ten already did. The page test walks the network page too, and
checks that every table on every page has the wrapper.

131 test modules sat next to the code they test; instances alone had
51 of them beside views.py and utils.py. They move into a
tests/ package per app, and the JavaScript checks into
webvirtcloud/tests/js. Each non-empty tests.py becomes tests/test_views.py;
the empty generated stubs are removed.
Imports of the app's own modules become absolute, paths built from
__file__ go one level up, the live helper is instances.tests.livetest,
and coverage omits */tests/*. The suite discovers the same 960 tests as
before.
django-qr-code was used for one thing: the QR code in the OTP e-mail,
as an inline SVG and a PNG. It brought pydantic, pydantic-core,
annotated-types and typing-inspection (about 10 MB) and, from 5.0 on,
Pillow. segno, which it used underneath, now draws both images with the
same options (error correction M, 4-module border, 1.8 mm SVG modules,
12 px PNG modules); the SVG, the PNG and the alt text are byte for byte
what django-qr-code 4.2 produced. account.html loaded the tag library
without using it.
With OTP_ENABLED the login used django-otp's OTPAuthenticationForm. Under the
pinned django-otp 1.7.3 that form could not log anyone in through the shipped
page: the page posts only a 6-digit otp_token, but the form now needs the
device named explicitly, so an enrolled user got "Please select a device.",
and a user who never enrolled got "Please enter your OTP token." with no
device to produce one. Verified in an isolated test database.
SingleDeviceOTPForm makes OTP per user: a user with a confirmed TOTP device
must enter a valid code; a user without one logs in with the password alone.
The form chooses the device itself (the user's oldest confirmed TOTP device,
locked with select_for_update inside clean_otp's transaction so replay and
throttling counters cannot race) and ignores any posted otp_device, which
django-otp does not check for confirmed status or type. The login page drops
the HTML "required" on the token field (the field is optional for an
unenrolled user) and says so.
The "Lost OTP?" page (email_otp) created a confirmed device when none existed.
With per-user OTP that let anyone who knows an address turn a password-only
account into an OTP-required one and, if the mail never arrived, lock it out.
It now resends the QR only to a user who already enrolled and never creates a
device (get_existing_totp_device); admin enrollment (admin_email_otp) still
creates one. Email QR distribution and confirmed-on-create enrollment are
unchanged by user decision.
Tests: per-user login (no device -> password only; device -> valid token
passes, wrong/empty token fails), a posted or another user's device is not
used, a token cannot be replayed, and the real login page over HTTP with
OTP_ENABLED; email_otp sends nothing and creates no device for an unenrolled
user. The new tests fail on the previous code.
Nothing limited failed logins: a password could be guessed at the speed
the server answers. django-axes (8.3.1, Django 5.2, Python 3.10-3.13)
now counts them.
- A user is locked for the address the failed logins come from
(username and IP together), so an attacker cannot lock someone out
from elsewhere and users behind one NAT address do not share a lock.
A successful login resets the count. axes sits in front of every
authentication: the login page with or without OTP, LDAP and the API.
- The number of failed logins (default 5) and the lock time in minutes
(default 15) are on the Settings page (LOGIN_FAILURE_LIMIT,
LOGIN_LOCKOUT_MINUTES, added by migration appsettings.0014) and apply
at once; an invalid value falls back to the default. Unlock with
"manage.py axes_reset_username <username>".
- Behind the bundled nginx every request comes from 127.0.0.1; the
client address is read from X-Real-IP, which nginx sets, but only for
requests from a loopback address or from LOGIN_TRUSTED_PROXIES, so a
forged header does not escape a lock.
settings.py.template gets the app, middleware, backend and AXES_*
settings; README tells existing installations what to copy. Tests that
call client.login now pass a request, which the axes backend needs.
The new tests fail with axes disabled.
/accounts/email_otp/ mails a user their OTP QR code and needs no login.
Measured with the default settings (OTP disabled):
- It was reachable although OTP was off, and created OTP devices.
- Every request sent a mail: 20 requests for one address, 20 mails, so
anyone who knew an address could fill that mailbox.
- An address shared by two users, or a mail server that could not be
reached, ended in an error page (500).
- Inactive users were mailed too.
The page now exists only while OTP_ENABLED is set. It mails a single
active user whose address matches (case-insensitively), at most once
every 5 minutes per user (Django's cache: with several workers the
bound is per worker), and logs a failed delivery. The answer is the
same in every case, so it does not reveal whether an address belongs
to a user.
The QR codes come from django-qr-code (segno); both the mail and the
account page render them without the qrcode package removed earlier.
The new tests fail on the previous code.
SHOW_PROFILE_EDIT_PASSWORD was replaced in 2020 by the change_password
permission, settable per user or group. A post_migrate hook applied the
old setting to all users so existing installs kept their behavior, and
asked to remove the setting afterwards; but the settings template still
set it to True. Every migrate, so every upgrade, therefore granted the
permission to all users again and undid an admin's per-user or
per-group choice (with False it would have revoked it from everyone).
- Migration accounts.0008 applies the setting one last time, if a
settings.py still has it; the post_migrate hook is gone.
- New users get the permission when they are created (any path,
including LDAP); the admin user form ticks it and saves the admin's
choice afterwards.
- The template no longer sets SHOW_PROFILE_EDIT_PASSWORD; a check
(accounts.W001) asks to remove it from existing settings, and the
README upgrade notes say so.
The test that removes the permission and runs migrate fails on the
previous code. An upgrade from master with users was simulated: the
setting is applied once, and a permission removed afterwards stays
removed through the next migrate.
Comments, docstrings and live test names cited item IDs of a roadmap
that is not part of the repository. They now say what is meant, or
nothing where the sentence stands without them. Test assertions and
behavior are unchanged.
django-login-required-middleware is dropped; Django 5.1+ ships the same
middleware. The login page is already marked login_not_required by
Django; email_otp gets the decorator, which replaces
LOGIN_REQUIRED_IGNORE_VIEW_NAMES. The datasource still requires login.
Existing settings.py files still name the old middleware. A system
check (accounts.E002) stops migrate and the server until MIDDLEWARE
uses Django's middleware, instead of an ImportError at startup; the
README has the steps.
A new matrix test walks every URL anonymously: everything outside a
short allowlist (login pages, the OpenAPI docs) sends the visitor to
the login page, and API views deny with 401/403. It passed with the old
middleware first and passes unchanged now.
Django 4.2 reached end of life on 2026-04-07.
- Django==5.2.17; django-login-required-middleware 0.9.0 keeps working
(the authorization matrix passes).
- USE_L10N removed from the settings template.
- Log out is a POST form in the navbar; Django 5 removed GET logout.
- pip-audit in CI no longer ignores the Django 4.2.30 advisories.
- README: Django 5.2, backup step and upgrade notes for existing
settings and GET logout callers.
python -Wd manage.py test shows no Django deprecation warnings. The live
libvirt suite passes on 5.2 and on 4.2 against a RHEL qemu-kvm host.
Super-linter ran from the unpinned :latest image and, because of
branches-ignore: [master], never on pull requests to master. Ruff now
checks syntax errors and pyflakes rules (E9, F) on every push and PR.
Fixes the existing findings: unused imports and variables, an unused
duplicate import in instances/tests.py, and the star import in
accounts/views.py. settings-dev.py keeps its star import of the base
settings.
The forced change of the generated admin password was a session flag
set at login when the password still matched data/admin_password. A
new session after the file was gone bypassed it.
- UserAttributes.must_change_password (migration 0007) holds it; the
admin created with a generated password gets it, and a password
change clears it. ForcePasswordChangeMiddleware reads it.
- A system check (accounts.E001) stops the server unless the middleware
follows AuthenticationMiddleware; the README has the settings change.
- If the generated password cannot be stored privately, provisioning
stops without printing it and without creating the admin (one
transaction for the user and its attributes).
- The admin is provisioned on any real migrate run while no user
exists, so running migrate again after a failure creates it; flush
(plan=None) and rollbacks of accounts are skipped.
- The post_migrate receivers check the migration state for the models
they use, so a targeted migrate on a fresh database (e.g. migrate
appsettings) no longer fails with 'no such table'.
While data/admin_password exists and a user's password still matches it,
the login sets a session flag (checked once at login, not per request).
ForcePasswordChangeMiddleware then sends that user to the password-change
page for every view except change password, login and logout. Setting a
new password clears the flag and deletes data/admin_password. No schema
change; if ADMIN_PASSWORD was set, there is no file and nothing is forced.
In Docker, migrate runs as root while data/ belongs to www-data, so a
planted data/admin_password symlink would make root overwrite its target.
Remove any existing path first and create the file with
O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_NOFOLLOW (mode set via fchmod). install.sh's /tmp
fallback log is now created with mktemp instead of a fixed name.
- The generated admin password is written to data/admin_password (mode
0600) instead of being printed, so it no longer ends up in the install
log or `docker logs`. If the file cannot be written it is printed as
before, so the admin is never locked out.
- webvirtcloud.sh no longer echoes the generated SECRET_KEY.
- install.sh creates the install log with mode 0600.
- user_block, user_unblock and admin_email_otp changed state on GET, so an
<img> tag could lock a user out or trigger OTP emails through an
admin's session. They now require POST; the buttons are CSRF forms.
- The console token cookie is set with httponly, SameSite=Lax and, on
HTTPS, secure. Only novncd reads it; the page gets the token directly.
- Computes API: mark password as write_only in ComputeSerializer, restrict ComputeViewSet and architectures to IsAdminUser.
- Instances API: enforce user ownership tenant isolation in InstanceViewSet.list, restrict MigrateViewSet and CreateInstanceViewSet to IsAdminUser, require IsAdminUser for mutating FlavorViewSet.
- Storage, Network, and Interface APIs: restrict StorageViewSet, VolumeViewSet, NetworkViewSet, InterfaceViewSet to IsAdminUser.
- AppSettings & NWFilters: protect appsettings and nwfilter views with @superuser_only (403 Forbidden for non-superusers).
- noVNC Console: sign tokens with TimestampSigner (salt='console.novnc', max_age=600), verify signature and user authorization in novncd with backward-compatible fallback for debug/test mode.
- Accounts: avoid hardcoded default admin password; generate cryptographically secure random password unless ADMIN_PASSWORD is set (preserve 'admin' in test runner).
- gstfsd daemon: bind to 127.0.0.1 by default instead of 0.0.0.0.
- Tests: added comprehensive test coverage for API security, token expiration/rejection, and view permissions (132 tests passing).
- Replace hardcoded colors with Bootstrap & Bootswatch CSS custom properties
- Adapt background, card, borders, and inputs dynamically to active light and dark themes
- Inherit primary color, border-radius, and font-family from active theme
- Use native Bootswatch alert and button styles for consistent visual hierarchy
- Overhaul signin.css with responsive dark glassmorphic card and ambient lighting
- Add server virtualization branding badge and typography hierarchy
- Enhance input fields with leading Bootstrap icons and interactive password visibility toggle
- Modernize 2FA/OTP login and signed-out pages to match design language
- Add real-time loading feedback on form submission
