allow_insecure_mqtt (CWE-319, requested): a password with TLS disabled crosses
the network in cleartext. Refused now rather than merely warned about -- but
refused, not forbidden, because unencrypted MQTT on a trusted LAN is a normal
deliberate setup. allow_insecure_mqtt is the explicit acknowledgement, defaults
false, and is coerced like the other booleans so the string "false" cannot
switch the guard off.
starlark.py:796 -- the supported service runs Flask threaded, so two start
requests could each see running=False, each launch an editor, and the second
state write replace the first PID, orphaning a process that holds the display
down with nothing recording it. The check-launch-write sequence now takes a
module-level lock.
starlark.py:848 -- if the state write failed the route returned success with an
editor running and no PID recorded: status and stop both reported no session
while the display stayed down until the timeout expired. It now terminates the
process group and returns an error.
starlark.py:890 -- SIGKILL gives the script's EXIT trap no chance to run, so
nothing hands the display back, yet the response said "the display is
restarting". After an escalation the display is now restarted explicitly, and a
failure to do so returns an error naming the manual step instead of a success.
pixlet_config_editor.sh:184 -- find_pixlet supports Darwin but macOS ships no
timeout(1); GNU coreutils installs it as gtimeout. Resolved up front so the
failure lands before the display is stopped rather than after.
pixlet_config_editor.sh:154 -- wildcard, loopback and an explicit interface
address are three cases, not two. Collapsing the last two printed a URL saying
"localhost" whenever PIXLET_EDITOR_HOST named a LAN address.
tools.html:1254 -- escHtml does not encode single quotes, and the app id was
interpolated into an inline onclick="startPixletEditor('...')", so a directory
containing an apostrophe could break out of the JS string and run script. The
handler binds with addEventListener and reads the id from dataset, where it is
only ever parsed as an HTML attribute.
Tests: test_mqtt_bridge_config_endpoint.py grows to 23 cases covering the opt-in
in both directions. The tools DOM suite gains three guards asserting the edit
buttons carry no inline onclick and pass the id via dataset -- those need jsdom
and did not run here, so CI verifies them.

LED Matrix Web Interface V3
Modern, production web interface for controlling the LED Matrix display.
Overview
This directory contains the active V3 web interface with the following features:
- Real-time display preview via Server-Sent Events (SSE)
- Plugin management and configuration
- System monitoring and logs
- Modern, responsive UI
- RESTful API

Running the Web Interface
Standalone (Development)
From the project root:
python3 web_interface/start.py
Or using the shell script:
./web_interface/run.sh
As a Service (Production)
The web interface can run as a systemd service that starts automatically based on the web_display_autostart configuration setting:
sudo systemctl start ledmatrix-web
sudo systemctl enable ledmatrix-web # Start on boot
Accessing the Interface
Once running, access the web interface at:
- Local: http://localhost:5000
- Network: http://:5000
Configuration
The web interface reads configuration from:
config/config.json- Main configurationconfig/config_secrets.json- API keys and secrets
API Documentation
The V3 API is mounted at /api/v3/ (app.py:144). For the complete
list and request/response formats, see
docs/REST_API_REFERENCE.md. Quick
reference for the most common endpoints:
Configuration
GET /api/v3/config/main- Get main configurationPOST /api/v3/config/main- Save main configurationGET /api/v3/config/secrets- Get secrets configurationPOST /api/v3/config/raw/main- Save raw main config (Config Editor)POST /api/v3/config/raw/secrets- Save raw secrets
Display & System Control
GET /api/v3/system/status- System statusPOST /api/v3/system/action- Control display (action body:start_display,stop_display,restart_display_service,restart_web_service,git_pull,reboot_system,shutdown_system,enable_autostart,disable_autostart)GET /api/v3/display/current- Current display frameGET /api/v3/display/on-demand/status- On-demand statusPOST /api/v3/display/on-demand/start- Trigger on-demand displayPOST /api/v3/display/on-demand/stop- Clear on-demand
Plugins
GET /api/v3/plugins/installed- List installed pluginsGET /api/v3/plugins/config?plugin_id=<id>- Get plugin configPOST /api/v3/plugins/config- Update plugin configurationGET /api/v3/plugins/schema?plugin_id=<id>- Get plugin schemaPOST /api/v3/plugins/toggle- Enable/disable pluginPOST /api/v3/plugins/install- Install from registryPOST /api/v3/plugins/install-from-url- Install from GitHub URLPOST /api/v3/plugins/uninstall- Uninstall pluginPOST /api/v3/plugins/update- Update plugin
Plugin Store
GET /api/v3/plugins/store/list- List available registry pluginsGET /api/v3/plugins/store/github-status- GitHub authentication statusPOST /api/v3/plugins/store/refresh- Refresh registry from GitHub
Real-time Streams (SSE)
SSE stream endpoints are defined directly on the Flask app
(app.py:607-619 — includes the CSRF exemption and rate-limit hookup
alongside the three route definitions), not on the api_v3 blueprint:
GET /api/v3/stream/stats- System statistics streamGET /api/v3/stream/display- Display preview streamGET /api/v3/stream/logs- Service logs stream
Development
When making changes to the web interface:
- Edit files in this directory
- Test changes by running
python3 web_interface/start.py - Restart the service if running:
sudo systemctl restart ledmatrix-web
Notes
- Templates and static files use the
v3/prefix to allow for future versions - The interface uses Flask blueprints for modular organization
- SSE streams provide real-time updates without polling
