Adds two managed system overlays (l4d2center-maps, cedapug-maps) that fetch curated map archives from upstream sources and reconcile addons symlinks for non-Steam maps. A daily systemd timer enqueues a coalesced refresh_global_overlays worker job; downloads, extraction, and rebuilds run in the existing job worker and surface in the job log UI. Schema: GlobalOverlaySource / GlobalOverlayItem / GlobalOverlayItemFile plus nullable Job.user_id so system jobs render as "system" in the UI. The new builder reconciles symlinks against the per-source vpk cache and leaves foreign symlinks untouched. Initialize-time guard refuses to mount a partial overlay if any expected vpk is missing from cache. Refresh service uses shutil.move to handle EXDEV when /tmp and the cache live on different filesystems. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

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
