Plugin config forms have been rendered server-side (plugin_config.html via GET /partials/plugin-config/<id>) since the HTMX migration; the old client-side generator survived as unreachable code. Verified dead by call graph, not by naming: showPluginConfigModal and showGithubTokenInstructions have zero callers anywhere in templates or JS, and everything removed here is reachable only from those two roots. Removed: - plugins_manager.js: showPluginConfigModal, generatePluginConfigForm, generateFormFromSchema, generateFieldHtml, generateSimpleConfigForm, handlePluginConfigSubmit, the modal's JSON-editor view (initJsonEditor, switchPluginConfigView, syncFormToJson/JsonToForm, saveConfigFromJsonEditor, resetPluginConfigToDefaults, displayValidationErrors, closePluginConfigModal, savePluginConfiguration, currentPluginConfigState), their exclusive helpers (getSchemaPropertyType, escapeCssSelector, dotToNested, collectBooleanFields, normalizeFormDataForConfig, flattenConfig, loadCustomHtmlWidget), the orphaned-modal cleanup block, the modal's listener wiring, and the never-invoked showGithubTokenInstructions/closeInstructionsModal pair. - plugins.html: the #plugin-config-modal markup those functions drove. - base.html: the deprecated pluginConfigData() component and the window.PluginConfigHelpers shim (only ever called by pluginConfigData). Deliberately kept, verified still live: - renderArrayObjectItem, getSchemaProperty, escapeHtml/escapeAttribute (window-exposed for the top-level array-of-objects handlers the server-rendered form uses), toggleNestedSection, addKeyValuePair/ addArrayObjectItem families, executePluginAction, and window.currentPluginConfig = null init (file-upload.js and executePluginAction read it, optional-chained). - app()'s internal generateConfigForm/generateSimpleConfigForm methods in base.html: unreachable now but embedded in the live Alpine component; excising methods from a live object is deferred to keep this change zero-risk. Validation: every deletion seam inspected line-by-line; Jinja parse of both templates passes; repo-wide sweep confirms zero remaining references to any deleted function or element id (deleted ranges contained no Jinja tags).

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
