## Local HTTP/HTTPS Setup with Custom CA

This project provides a dual-port Streamlit server setup for local networks:

- **HTTP** available on port **8502**
- **HTTPS** (trusted with custom CA) available on port **8503**

### How it works
- A custom Certificate Authority (CA) is generated for your organization.
- Each device/server is issued a certificate signed by this CA.
- Customers can import the CA certificate into their OS/browser trust store, so the device's HTTPS connection is fully trusted (no browser warnings).

### Usage

1. **Generate Certificates**
    - Run `generate_ca_cert.sh` in `src/auracast/server/`.
    - This creates:
        - `certs/ca/ca_cert.pem` / `ca_key.pem` (CA cert/key)
    - **Distribute `ca_cert.pem` or `ca_cert.crt` to customers** for installation in their trust store.
    - This is a one-time operation for your organization.

2. **Start the Server**
    - Run `run_http_and_https.sh` in `src/auracast/server/`.
    - This starts:
        - HTTP Streamlit on port 8500
        - HTTPS Streamlit on port 8501 (using the signed device cert)

3. **Client Trust Setup**
    - Customers should install `ca_cert.pem` in their operating system or browser trust store to trust the HTTPS connection.
    - After this, browsers will show a secure HTTPS connection to the device (no warnings).

### Why this setup?
- **WebRTC and other browser features require HTTPS for local devices.**
- Using a local CA allows trusted HTTPS without needing a public certificate or exposing devices to the internet.
- HTTP is also available for compatibility/testing.

### Advertise Hostname with mDNS
```bash
cd src/auracast/server
sudo ./provision_domain_hostname.sh <new_hostname> <new_domain>
```
- Example:
  ```bash
  sudo ./provision_domain_hostname.sh box1 auracast.local
  ```
- The script will:
  - Validate your input (no dots in hostname)
  - Set the system hostname
  - Update `/etc/hosts`
  - Set the Avahi domain in `/etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf`
  - Restart Avahi
  - Generate a unique per-device certificate and key signed by your CA, stored in `certs/per_device/<hostname>.<domain>/`.
  - The certificate will have a SAN matching the device's mDNS name (e.g., `box1-summitwave.local`).
---

### Troubleshooting & Tips
- **Use .local domain** (e.g., `box1-summitwave.local`) - most clients will not resolve multi-label domains.
- **Hostnames must not contain dots** (`.`). Only use single-label names for the system hostname.
- **Avahi domain** can be multi-label (e.g., `auracast.local`).
- **Clients may need** `libnss-mdns` installed and `/etc/nsswitch.conf` configured with `mdns4_minimal` and `mdns4` for multi-label mDNS names.
- If you have issues with mDNS name resolution, check for conflicting mDNS stacks (e.g., systemd-resolved, Bonjour, or other daemons).
- Some Linux clients may not resolve multi-label mDNS names via NSS—test with `avahi-resolve-host-name` and try from another device if needed.

---

After completing these steps, your device will be discoverable as `<hostname>.<domain>` (e.g., `box1.auracast.local`) on the local network via mDNS.

---

## Checking Advertised mDNS Services
Once your device is configured, you can verify that its mDNS advertisement is visible on the network:

- **List all mDNS services:**
  ```bash
  avahi-browse -a
  ```
  Look for your hostname and service (e.g., `box1.auracast.local`).
- **Check specific hostname resolution:**
  ```bash
  avahi-resolve-host-name box1.auracast.local
  avahi-resolve-host-name -4 box1.auracast.local  # IPv4 only
  avahi-resolve-host-name -6 box1.auracast.local  # IPv6 only
  ```

## Run the application with local webui
- for microphone streaming via the browser, https is required
- poetry run multicast_server.py
- sudo -E PATH="$PATH" bash ./start_frontend_https.sh
- bash start_mdns.sh


## Managing Auracast systemd Services

You can run the backend and frontend as systemd services for easier management and automatic startup on boot.

### 1. Install the service files
Copy the provided service files to your systemd directory (requires sudo):

```bash
sudo cp auracast-server.service /etc/systemd/system/
sudo cp auracast-frontend.service /etc/systemd/system/
```

### 2. Reload systemd
```bash
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
```

### 3. Enable services to start at boot
```bash
sudo systemctl enable auracast-server
sudo systemctl enable auracast-frontend
```

### 4. Start the services
```bash
sudo systemctl start auracast-server
sudo systemctl start auracast-frontend
```

### 5. Stop the services
```bash
sudo systemctl stop auracast-server
sudo systemctl stop auracast-frontend
```

### 6. Disable services to start at boot
```bash
sudo systemctl disable auracast-server
sudo systemctl disable auracast-frontend
```

### 7. Check service status
```bash
sudo systemctl status auracast-server
sudo systemctl status auracast-frontend
```

If you want to run the services as a specific user, edit the `User=` line in the service files accordingly.

# Known issues:
- When running on a laptop there might be issues switching between usb and browser audio input since they use the same audio device
