# DigiServer Optimization Proposal

## Executive Summary

After analyzing the DigiServer project, I've identified several optimization opportunities across performance, architecture, security, and maintainability. The current system is functional but has areas for improvement.

## Current State Analysis

### Metrics
- **Main Application**: 1,051 lines (app.py)
- **Docker Image Size**: 3.53 GB ⚠️ (Very Large)
- **Database Size**: 2.6 MB
- **Media Storage**: 13 MB
- **Routes**: 30+ endpoints
- **Templates**: 14 HTML files

### Architecture
- ✅ **Good**: Modular structure (models, utils, templates)
- ✅ **Good**: Docker containerization
- ✅ **Good**: Flask extensions properly used
- ⚠️ **Issue**: Monolithic app.py (1,051 lines)
- ⚠️ **Issue**: Large Docker image
- ⚠️ **Issue**: No caching strategy
- ⚠️ **Issue**: Synchronous video processing blocks requests

---

## Priority 1: Critical Optimizations

### 1. Reduce Docker Image Size (3.53 GB → ~800 MB)

**Current Issue**: Docker image is unnecessarily large due to build dependencies

**Solution**: Multi-stage build

```dockerfile
# Stage 1: Build stage with heavy dependencies
FROM python:3.11-slim as builder

WORKDIR /build

# Install build dependencies
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
    build-essential \
    g++ \
    cargo \
    libffi-dev \
    libssl-dev \
    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

# Install Python packages with wheels
COPY app/requirements.txt .
RUN pip wheel --no-cache-dir --wheel-dir /build/wheels -r requirements.txt

# Stage 2: Runtime stage (smaller)
FROM python:3.11-slim

WORKDIR /app

# Install only runtime dependencies
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
    poppler-utils \
    libreoffice-writer \
    libreoffice-impress \
    ffmpeg \
    libmagic1 \
    curl \
    fonts-dejavu-core \
    --no-install-recommends \
    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* \
    && apt-get clean

# Copy wheels from builder
COPY --from=builder /build/wheels /wheels
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir /wheels/* && rm -rf /wheels

# Copy application
COPY app/ .
RUN chmod +x entrypoint.sh

# Create volumes
RUN mkdir -p /app/static/uploads /app/static/resurse /app/instance

EXPOSE 5000
CMD ["./entrypoint.sh"]
```

**Impact**: 
- ✅ Reduce image size by ~70% (3.53GB → ~800MB)
- ✅ Faster deployment and startup
- ✅ Less storage and bandwidth usage

---

### 2. Split Monolithic app.py into Blueprints

**Current Issue**: 1,051 lines in single file makes maintenance difficult

**Proposed Structure**:
```
app/
├── app.py (main app initialization, ~100 lines)
├── blueprints/
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── auth.py          # Login, logout, register
│   ├── admin.py         # Admin routes
│   ├── players.py       # Player management
│   ├── groups.py        # Group management
│   ├── content.py       # Content upload/management
│   └── api.py          # API endpoints
├── models/
├── utils/
└── templates/
```

**Example Blueprint (auth.py)**:
```python
from flask import Blueprint, render_template, request, redirect, url_for, flash
from flask_login import login_user, logout_user, login_required
from models import User
from extensions import db, bcrypt

auth_bp = Blueprint('auth', __name__)

@auth_bp.route('/login', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def login():
    # Login logic here
    pass

@auth_bp.route('/logout')
@login_required
def logout():
    logout_user()
    return redirect(url_for('auth.login'))

@auth_bp.route('/register', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def register():
    # Register logic here
    pass
```

**Benefits**:
- ✅ Better code organization
- ✅ Easier to maintain and test
- ✅ Multiple developers can work simultaneously
- ✅ Clear separation of concerns

---

### 3. Implement Redis Caching

**Current Issue**: Database queries repeated on every request

**Solution**: Add Redis for caching

```python
# Add to docker-compose.yml
services:
  redis:
    image: redis:7-alpine
    container_name: digiserver-redis
    restart: unless-stopped
    networks:
      - digiserver-network
    volumes:
      - redis-data:/data

# Add to requirements.txt
redis==5.0.1
Flask-Caching==2.1.0

# Configuration
from flask_caching import Cache

cache = Cache(config={
    'CACHE_TYPE': 'redis',
    'CACHE_REDIS_HOST': 'redis',
    'CACHE_REDIS_PORT': 6379,
    'CACHE_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT': 300
})

# Usage examples
@cache.cached(timeout=60, key_prefix='dashboard')
def dashboard():
    # Cached for 60 seconds
    pass

@cache.memoize(timeout=300)
def get_player_content(player_id):
    # Cached per player_id for 5 minutes
    return Content.query.filter_by(player_id=player_id).all()
```

**Impact**:
- ✅ 50-80% faster page loads
- ✅ Reduced database load
- ✅ Better scalability

---

## Priority 2: Performance Optimizations

### 4. Implement Celery for Background Tasks

**Current Issue**: Video conversion blocks HTTP requests

**Solution**: Use Celery for async tasks

```python
# docker-compose.yml
services:
  worker:
    build: .
    image: digiserver:latest
    container_name: digiserver-worker
    command: celery -A celery_worker.celery worker --loglevel=info
    volumes:
      - ./app:/app
      - ./data/uploads:/app/static/uploads
    networks:
      - digiserver-network
    depends_on:
      - redis

# celery_worker.py
from celery import Celery
from app import app

celery = Celery(
    app.import_name,
    broker='redis://redis:6379/0',
    backend='redis://redis:6379/1'
)

@celery.task
def convert_video_task(file_path, filename, target_type, target_id, duration):
    with app.app_context():
        convert_video_and_update_playlist(
            app, file_path, filename, target_type, target_id, duration
        )
    return {'status': 'completed', 'filename': filename}

# Usage in upload route
@app.route('/upload_content', methods=['POST'])
def upload_content():
    # ... validation ...
    
    for file in files:
        if media_type == 'video':
            # Queue video conversion
            convert_video_task.delay(file_path, filename, target_type, target_id, duration)
            flash('Video queued for processing', 'info')
        else:
            # Process immediately
            process_uploaded_files(...)
```

**Benefits**:
- ✅ Non-blocking uploads
- ✅ Better user experience
- ✅ Can retry failed tasks
- ✅ Monitor task status

---

### 5. Database Query Optimization

**Current Issues**: N+1 queries, no indexes

**Solutions**:

```python
# Add indexes to models
class Content(db.Model):
    __tablename__ = 'content'
    
    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
    player_id = db.Column(db.Integer, db.ForeignKey('player.id'), index=True)  # Add index
    position = db.Column(db.Integer, index=True)  # Add index
    
    __table_args__ = (
        db.Index('idx_player_position', 'player_id', 'position'),  # Composite index
    )

# Use eager loading
def get_group_content(group_id):
    # Bad: N+1 queries
    group = Group.query.get(group_id)
    content = [Content.query.filter_by(player_id=p.id).all() for p in group.players]
    
    # Good: Single query with join
    content = db.session.query(Content)\
        .join(Player)\
        .join(Group, Player.groups)\
        .filter(Group.id == group_id)\
        .options(db.joinedload(Content.player))\
        .all()
    return content

# Use query result caching
from sqlalchemy.orm import lazyload

@cache.memoize(timeout=300)
def get_player_feedback_cached(player_name, limit=5):
    return PlayerFeedback.query\
        .filter_by(player_name=player_name)\
        .order_by(PlayerFeedback.timestamp.desc())\
        .limit(limit)\
        .all()
```

**Impact**:
- ✅ 40-60% faster database operations
- ✅ Reduced database load

---

### 6. Optimize Static File Delivery

**Current**: Flask serves static files (slow)

**Solution**: Use nginx as reverse proxy

```yaml
# docker-compose.yml
services:
  nginx:
    image: nginx:alpine
    container_name: digiserver-nginx
    ports:
      - "80:80"
    volumes:
      - ./nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
      - ./data/uploads:/var/www/uploads:ro
      - ./data/resurse:/var/www/resurse:ro
    depends_on:
      - digiserver
    networks:
      - digiserver-network

  digiserver:
    ports: []  # Remove external port exposure
```

```nginx
# nginx.conf
http {
    # Enable gzip compression
    gzip on;
    gzip_types text/css application/javascript application/json image/svg+xml;
    gzip_comp_level 6;
    
    # Cache static files
    location /static/uploads/ {
        alias /var/www/uploads/;
        expires 1y;
        add_header Cache-Control "public, immutable";
    }
    
    location / {
        proxy_pass http://digiserver:5000;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    }
}
```

**Benefits**:
- ✅ 3-5x faster static file delivery
- ✅ Automatic gzip compression
- ✅ Better caching
- ✅ Load balancing ready

---

## Priority 3: Code Quality & Maintainability

### 7. Add Type Hints

```python
# Before
def get_player_content(player_id):
    return Content.query.filter_by(player_id=player_id).all()

# After
from typing import List, Optional
from models import Content

def get_player_content(player_id: int) -> List[Content]:
    """Get all content for a specific player."""
    return Content.query.filter_by(player_id=player_id).all()

def update_playlist_version(player: Player, increment: int = 1) -> int:
    """Update player playlist version and return new version."""
    player.playlist_version += increment
    db.session.commit()
    return player.playlist_version
```

---

### 8. Add API Rate Limiting

```python
# Add to requirements.txt
Flask-Limiter==3.5.0

# Configuration
from flask_limiter import Limiter
from flask_limiter.util import get_remote_address

limiter = Limiter(
    app=app,
    key_func=get_remote_address,
    storage_uri="redis://redis:6379",
    default_limits=["200 per day", "50 per hour"]
)

# Apply to routes
@app.route('/api/player-feedback', methods=['POST'])
@limiter.limit("10 per minute")
def api_player_feedback():
    # Protected from abuse
    pass
```

---

### 9. Implement Health Checks & Monitoring

```python
# Add health endpoint
@app.route('/health')
def health():
    try:
        # Check database
        db.session.execute(text('SELECT 1'))
        
        # Check Redis
        cache.set('health_check', 'ok', timeout=5)
        
        # Check disk space
        upload_stat = os.statvfs(UPLOAD_FOLDER)
        free_space_gb = (upload_stat.f_bavail * upload_stat.f_frsize) / (1024**3)
        
        return jsonify({
            'status': 'healthy',
            'database': 'ok',
            'cache': 'ok',
            'disk_space_gb': round(free_space_gb, 2)
        }), 200
    except Exception as e:
        return jsonify({'status': 'unhealthy', 'error': str(e)}), 500

# Add metrics endpoint (Prometheus)
from prometheus_flask_exporter import PrometheusMetrics

metrics = PrometheusMetrics(app)

# Automatic metrics:
# - Request count
# - Request duration
# - Request size
# - Response size
```

---

### 10. Environment-Based Configuration

```python
# config.py
import os

class Config:
    SECRET_KEY = os.getenv('SECRET_KEY', 'default-dev-key')
    SQLALCHEMY_TRACK_MODIFICATIONS = False
    MAX_CONTENT_LENGTH = 2048 * 1024 * 1024

class DevelopmentConfig(Config):
    DEBUG = True
    SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = 'sqlite:///dev.db'
    CACHE_TYPE = 'simple'

class ProductionConfig(Config):
    DEBUG = False
    SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = os.getenv('DATABASE_URL')
    CACHE_TYPE = 'redis'
    CACHE_REDIS_HOST = 'redis'
    
class TestingConfig(Config):
    TESTING = True
    SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = 'sqlite:///:memory:'

# Usage in app.py
env = os.getenv('FLASK_ENV', 'development')
if env == 'production':
    app.config.from_object('config.ProductionConfig')
elif env == 'testing':
    app.config.from_object('config.TestingConfig')
else:
    app.config.from_object('config.DevelopmentConfig')
```

---

## Priority 4: Security Enhancements

### 11. Security Hardening

```python
# Add to requirements.txt
Flask-Talisman==1.1.0  # Already present
Flask-SeaSurf==1.1.1    # CSRF protection

# Configuration
from flask_talisman import Talisman
from flask_seasurf import SeaSurf

# HTTPS enforcement (production only)
if app.config['ENV'] == 'production':
    Talisman(app, 
        force_https=True,
        strict_transport_security=True,
        content_security_policy={
            'default-src': "'self'",
            'img-src': ['*', 'data:'],
            'script-src': ["'self'", "'unsafe-inline'", 'cdn.jsdelivr.net'],
            'style-src': ["'self'", "'unsafe-inline'", 'cdn.jsdelivr.net']
        }
    )

# CSRF protection
csrf = SeaSurf(app)

# Exempt API endpoints (use API keys instead)
@csrf.exempt
@app.route('/api/player-feedback', methods=['POST'])
def api_player_feedback():
    # Verify API key
    api_key = request.headers.get('X-API-Key')
    if not verify_api_key(api_key):
        return jsonify({'error': 'Unauthorized'}), 401
    # ... rest of logic
```

---

### 12. Input Validation & Sanitization

```python
# Add to requirements.txt
marshmallow==3.20.1
Flask-Marshmallow==0.15.0

# schemas.py
from marshmallow import Schema, fields, validate

class PlayerFeedbackSchema(Schema):
    player_name = fields.Str(required=True, validate=validate.Length(min=1, max=100))
    quickconnect_code = fields.Str(required=True, validate=validate.Length(min=6, max=20))
    message = fields.Str(required=True, validate=validate.Length(max=500))
    status = fields.Str(required=True, validate=validate.OneOf(['active', 'error', 'playing', 'stopped']))
    timestamp = fields.DateTime(required=True)
    playlist_version = fields.Int(allow_none=True)
    error_details = fields.Str(allow_none=True, validate=validate.Length(max=1000))

# Usage
from schemas import PlayerFeedbackSchema

@app.route('/api/player-feedback', methods=['POST'])
def api_player_feedback():
    schema = PlayerFeedbackSchema()
    try:
        data = schema.load(request.get_json())
    except ValidationError as err:
        return jsonify({'error': err.messages}), 400
    
    # Data is now validated and sanitized
    feedback = PlayerFeedback(**data)
    db.session.add(feedback)
    db.session.commit()
    return jsonify({'success': True}), 200
```
