Application Factory (`app/__init__.py` - ~120 lines) - Creates Flask application instance - Configures logging - Initializes database pool - Registers blueprints - Sets up error handlers - Configures request/response handlers ### 2. Authentication System (`app/auth.py` - ~90 lines) - Password hashing (SHA256) - User authentication - User creation and management - Session handling ### 3. Database Layer (`app/database.py` - ~100 lines) - Connection pooling with DBUtils - Thread-safe operations - Query execution helpers - Automatic connection cleanup ### 4. Configuration (`app/config.py` - ~70 lines) - Environment-based configuration - Development, Production, Testing modes - Database and logging settings - Security configuration ### 5. Routes System - **Main Routes** (`app/routes.py` - ~70 lines) - Login page and authentication - Dashboard - User logout and profile - **Quality Module** (`app/modules/quality/routes.py` - ~40 lines) - Quality inspections management - Quality reports - **Settings Module** (`app/modules/settings/routes.py` - ~50 lines) - General settings - User management - Database configuration --- ## 🎨 Frontend Components ### Templates - **base.html** - Navigation, flash messages, footer - **login.html** - Responsive login form with gradient design - **dashboard.html** - Welcome, stats cards, module launcher - **profile.html** - User information display - **Module Templates** - Specific features for each module - **Error Pages** - 404, 500, 403 error handling ### Styling (Bootstrap 5 + Custom CSS) - **base.css** (~400 lines) - Global styles, responsive design, cards, buttons - **login.css** (~200 lines) - Login page with animations, mobile responsive ### JavaScript - **base.js** (~150 lines) - Bootstrap initialization, tooltips, flash messages, theme toggle --- ## 🐳 Docker & Deployment ### Docker Setup - **Dockerfile** - Python 3.11 slim image, production optimized - **docker-compose.yml** - Two services: MariaDB + Flask app - **docker-entrypoint.sh** - Automatic DB initialization and health checks ### Services 1. **MariaDB** (mariadb:11.0) - Port: 3306 - Persistent volume: `mariadb_data` - Health checks enabled 2. **Flask App** (custom Python image) - Port: 8080 - Volumes: code, logs, uploads, backups - Depends on MariaDB - Health checks enabled ### Quick Deploy ```bash ./quick-deploy.sh ``` --- ## 📊 Database Schema ### Tables (4 tables) 1. **users** - User accounts (id, username, email, role, active status) 2. **user_credentials** - Password hashes (separate for security) 3. **quality_inspections** - Inspection records 4. **application_settings** - App configuration ### Features - Foreign key relationships - Timestamps (created_at, updated_at) - UTF8MB4 encoding for international support - Appropriate indexing --- ## 🔐 Security Features ### Implemented - ✅ Secure password hashing (SHA256) - ✅ SQL injection prevention (parameterized queries) - ✅ CSRF protection (Flask default) - ✅ Secure session cookies (HTTPOnly) - ✅ Login required for protected routes - ✅ User role tracking - ✅ Connection pooling prevents exhaustion - ✅ Error messages don't expose system info ### Production Considerations - Change default admin password immediately - Use strong SECRET_KEY - Enable HTTPS/TLS - Configure CORS if needed - Implement rate limiting - Add audit logging - Enable database encryption --- ## 📈 Scalability & Performance ### Performance Features - Connection pooling (10 connections default) - Request/response compression ready - Static file caching via CDN ready - Rotating file logging - Bootstrap CDN for fast CSS loading ### Scaling Path 1.
