Summary of Changes
Hello @LukeGus, I'm Gemini Code Assist1 ! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!
This pull request introduces Termix 1.7.0, a significant update focusing on bolstering security, expanding file management capabilities, and streamlining deployment. Key changes include a complete overhaul of the remote file manager, advanced SSH credential management with key generation and deployment, and robust database encryption with data import/export features. The update also brings automated SSL certificate generation, optimized Docker and Electron builds, and a reconfigured backend port range for better compatibility. These enhancements aim to provide a more secure, feature-rich, and user-friendly server management experience.
Highlights
.envvariables, simplifying HTTPS setup for self-hosted instances.apt-getfor dependencies, and font file pruning. Electron desktop builds now include a versioning system and improved server connection testing.30000range to avoid conflicts with common frontend development ports, ensuring smoother integration.Ignored Files

Code Review
This is a substantial pull request that introduces significant new features and major architectural improvements, particularly around security and data management. The overhaul of the file manager, the introduction of a comprehensive encryption-at-rest model for the database, and the automated SSL setup are all excellent additions. My review has identified a few critical and high-severity issues related to security in the Electron app, build reproducibility in the Dockerfile, and potential Denial of Service vulnerabilities due to overly permissive request size limits in the backend services. Addressing these points will greatly enhance the security and stability of the application.
This command removes
package-lock.jsonand usesnpm install --force, which undermines the principle of reproducible builds. Usingnpm ciis strongly recommended for Docker builds as it installs dependencies exactly as specified inpackage-lock.json, ensuring that the build is consistent and deterministic across all environments. If there are dependency conflicts, they should be resolved inpackage.jsonrather than being bypassed with--force.@@ -4,1 +7,4 @@app.commandLine.appendSwitch("--ignore-ssl-errors");app.commandLine.appendSwitch("--ignore-certificate-errors-spki-list");app.commandLine.appendSwitch("--enable-features=NetworkService");Globally ignoring all certificate and SSL errors is a significant security risk. This makes the application vulnerable to Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks, as it will trust any certificate, including malicious ones. While this might be intended for connecting to self-hosted instances with self-signed certificates, it should not be enabled by default for all connections. Consider making this a user-configurable setting that is disabled by default, and perhaps apply it more granularly only to user-defined server connections rather than globally.

For large file uploads, it's better to use a streaming approach rather than buffering the entire file in memory. The limits should be reduced to safer defaults and ideally be configurable.
