ChuckBuildsandClaude Sonnet 5 d49cb5851d feat(display): drag-and-drop plugin rotation order for the primary display mode
The primary rotation's order was invisible and unconfigurable: modes are
registered in parallel-load COMPLETION order, so rotation order actually
varied between restarts. Only the niche Vegas Scroll mode had a working
order UI. This adds real, persisted ordering end to end:

Backend:
- config.template.json: new display.plugin_rotation_order (default [],
  fully backward compatible).
- display_controller.py: _apply_plugin_rotation_order() rebuilds
  available_modes grouped by plugin per the configured list (each plugin's
  modes keep their declared order; unlisted plugins follow in existing
  relative order; empty config = exact no-op). Applied at startup after
  parallel load and after live enable/disable reconcile (before the
  existing _resync_mode_index_after_change, which preserves the current
  mode). Mirrors vegas_mode get_ordered_plugins() semantics.
- api_v3.py save_main_config: accepts plugin_rotation_order as a JSON
  array (same parse/guard pattern as vegas_plugin_order).

Frontend:
- New shared widget static/v3/js/widgets/plugin-order-list.js: the Vegas
  section's drag-and-drop list factored out verbatim (native HTML5 drag
  events, saved-order-first rendering, hidden-input JSON sync),
  parameterized by container/order-input/optional exclude-checkbox/badge.
- display.html: Vegas section now calls the shared module; its ~130-line
  inline copy of the same logic is deleted.
- durations.html: new "Rotation Order" card above the durations grid using
  the same module, posting plugin_rotation_order with the existing form.

Deviation from plan, deliberate: durations stay as their own mode-keyed
grid rather than inline in the drag rows - verified display_durations keys
are MODE names (display_controller.py resolves duration per mode_key), not
plugin ids, and one plugin can own several modes, so the planned 1:1
inline pairing was wrong.

Validation: py_compile on both Python files; _apply_plugin_rotation_order
unit-tested standalone (configured order applied, empty-config no-op,
unknown ids skipped - 3/3); both templates render with balanced divs, the
hidden input carries the saved order, and the old inline implementation is
confirmed gone; config.template.json parses.

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:

Configuration

The web interface reads configuration from:

  • config/config.json - Main configuration
  • config/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 configuration
  • POST /api/v3/config/main - Save main configuration
  • GET /api/v3/config/secrets - Get secrets configuration
  • POST /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 status
  • POST /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 frame
  • GET /api/v3/display/on-demand/status - On-demand status
  • POST /api/v3/display/on-demand/start - Trigger on-demand display
  • POST /api/v3/display/on-demand/stop - Clear on-demand

Plugins

  • GET /api/v3/plugins/installed - List installed plugins
  • GET /api/v3/plugins/config?plugin_id=<id> - Get plugin config
  • POST /api/v3/plugins/config - Update plugin configuration
  • GET /api/v3/plugins/schema?plugin_id=<id> - Get plugin schema
  • POST /api/v3/plugins/toggle - Enable/disable plugin
  • POST /api/v3/plugins/install - Install from registry
  • POST /api/v3/plugins/install-from-url - Install from GitHub URL
  • POST /api/v3/plugins/uninstall - Uninstall plugin
  • POST /api/v3/plugins/update - Update plugin

Plugin Store

  • GET /api/v3/plugins/store/list - List available registry plugins
  • GET /api/v3/plugins/store/github-status - GitHub authentication status
  • POST /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 stream
  • GET /api/v3/stream/display - Display preview stream
  • GET /api/v3/stream/logs - Service logs stream

Development

When making changes to the web interface:

  1. Edit files in this directory
  2. Test changes by running python3 web_interface/start.py
  3. 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
