feat(editor-v2): autocomplete completion source
CompletionSource over the srccfg-vocab.json shape. Word fragment
matched via /[A-Za-z0-9_]{2,}/ at the caret; ranking is
prefix-match-first (shorter prefixes preferred) then substring;
cap 50 candidates, top 8 rendered. Each option carries the kind
('cvar'/'command') as cm6's autocomplete `type` so the popup
shows the appropriate icon.

l4d2-web-app

Flask web app for managing L4D2 servers through user-private blueprints.

Key v1 behaviors

  • Local username/password login; no public signup
  • Admin-managed overlay catalog
  • Private blueprints per user
  • Server creation from blueprints (live-linked; no per-server blueprint overrides)
  • Async job model with persisted command logs in job_logs
  • Desired vs actual state model
  • Live logs for jobs and servers via SSE endpoints
  • Host operations go through l4d2ctl via a local host command runner, not direct l4d2host imports

Frontend constraints

  • Server-rendered templates (Jinja)
  • Vendored HTMX (static/vendor/htmx.min.js)
  • Custom CSS only
  • Tokenized, consistent link and accent colors

Development

From the workspace root (../):

uv sync          # creates .venv, installs l4d2host + l4d2web editable, plus dev deps
uv run pytest l4d2web/tests -q

Configuration

The web app reads these settings from the environment:

  • DATABASE_URL: SQLAlchemy database URL, for example sqlite:////var/lib/left4me/left4me.db.
  • SECRET_KEY: Flask secret key used for sessions and CSRF-sensitive state.
  • JOB_WORKER_THREADS: number of background job worker threads.

In the systemd deployment, environment is loaded from /etc/left4me/host.env and /etc/left4me/web.env.

Admin Bootstrap

Create the first admin account with the Flask CLI. Provide the password through LEFT4ME_ADMIN_PASSWORD:

LEFT4ME_ADMIN_PASSWORD='change-me' flask create-user <username> --admin
