- Detail panels: softer (color-mix --line-soft) border. h2 sub-section
spacing inside a single outer panel. admin and job_detail collapse to
one panel each.
- Color tokens: --color-button-primary / --color-button-danger stay
saturated in dark mode so white text on filled buttons stays readable.
- Site header: transparent, no full-width bar; aligned with panel-content
width. No more sticky.
- Page-level Delete: low-contrast outline button at the page footer
(left side, justify-content flex-start). Save buttons no longer
full-width (.stack > button { justify-self: end }).
- form-actions-inline helper for right-aligned button rows.
- New service: l4d2web.services.timeago.humanize_delta — used by the
upcoming server / overlay live-status partials.
- Server route: POST /servers/<id> renames the server (mirrors the
overlay update pattern, returns 409 on per-user duplicate).
- Overlay route: POST /overlays/<id>/script handles `action` form value
— `save_build` (default) or `save_reset_build` (wipes overlay dir
before queuing build). Redirect lands on /overlays/<id> instead of
the job page so users see the live status.

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
l4d2ctlvia a local host command runner, not directl4d2hostimports
Frontend constraints
- Server-rendered templates (Jinja)
- Vendored HTMX (
static/vendor/htmx.min.js) - Custom CSS only
- Tokenized, consistent link and accent colors
Development
python3 -m venv .venv
.venv/bin/pip install -e .
.venv/bin/pytest tests -q
Configuration
The web app reads these settings from the environment:
DATABASE_URL: SQLAlchemy database URL, for examplesqlite:////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
