The local HTTP server approach (fetch to 127.0.0.1) doesn't work in the
Wails webview. Simplify: use window.open() to launch OIDC in the real
browser. After authentication, the callback page at the server shows the
token. User copies and pastes into the Token tab.
Also fix: SetSize before app.Run() crashes with nil pointer — use
WebviewWindowOptions width/height directly from restored state.
The Wails runtime isn't reliably loading for IPC calls. Replace the
binding-based StartOIDCLogin with a local HTTP server on 127.0.0.1:18901:
- /oidc/login?apiUrl=... — opens system browser, waits for token
- /oidc/callback — Authentik redirect target, exchanges code
- /oidc/config?apiUrl=... — fetches OIDC provider config
- SPA detects desktop via ?desktop=1 URL param
- SPA calls localhost directly via fetch() instead of Wails IPC
- Remove custom asset handler — it broke Wails IPC routing
- Use application.AssetFileServerFS(distFS) so Wails serves its own runtime
- Add GetStoredConfig binding: SPA calls it on startup to retrieve keychain config
- main.ts: loadDesktopConfig() fetches stored creds before mounting
- Remove runtime.js embed (Wails serves it internally)
The SPA needs /wails/runtime.js for window.wails to be available.
Since we use a custom AssetOptions.Handler, Wails' internal routing
doesn't serve it. Embed the runtime and serve it explicitly.
ConfigService.StartOIDCLogin():
- Fetches OIDC config from the API
- Generates PKCE params
- Starts local HTTP server on 127.0.0.1:18901
- Opens system browser to Authentik
- Captures callback directly (no copy-paste)
- Exchanges code for token, saves to keychain
- Returns token to SPA → auto-connects
Config.svelte detects Wails environment and calls the binding.
- Server: /oidc-callback HTML page exchanges Authentik code for token,
displays it for user to copy into the desktop app's Token tab
- oidc.ts: desktop mode uses apiUrl+/oidc-callback as redirect URI,
encodes PKCE verifier in state parameter
- Config.svelte: add Server URL field to OIDC tab for desktop UX
- Caddy: add /oidc-callback to enroll bypass (no Authentik gate)
- App: favicon.png as system tray icon, window title 'Oikos'
- web/index.html: title 'Oikos'
Problem: the Oikos control room was browser-only — no native desktop
experience (system tray, notifications, keychain-persisted auth).
Change: add a Wails v3 thin-shell desktop app at cmd/desktop/ that embeds
the existing SPA in a webview. The Go side is ~380 lines — no bundled
server, no Postgres connection. It reads auth from the OS keychain,
injects it into the SPA on load, and the SPA talks HTTPS to the homelab
same as a browser.
Phase 1.0 — Scaffold + window:
- Embed web/dist/ into the Wails binary
- Inject window.__OIKOS_CONFIG__ with keychain-stored apiUrl + token
- 1400×900 window, min 1024×700
- System tray: Open/Quit, click toggles window
Phase 1.1 — Native shell:
- Poll /api/v1/dashboard/summary every 30s; osascript notification
when approvals or critical signals increase
- Save/restore window position to ~/.config/oikos/window.json
- EnableAutoStart/DisableAutoStart — macOS LaunchAgent plist
Phase 1.2 — Token management:
- Config.svelte calls window.wails.Call.ByName('SaveConfig') after
successful connection — persists to OS keychain
- ConfigService binds SaveConfig, ClearConfig, EnableAutoStart,
DisableAutoStart to the Wails runtime
Phase 1.3 — Auto-update:
- Poll Gitea releases API every 6h, compare semver, show dialog
- 'Check for Updates' tray menu item triggers immediate poll
Phase 1.4 — Distribution:
- macOS entitlements.plist: network client + keychain access
- .gitea/workflows/desktop.yml: CI builds macOS arm64 + Linux amd64
on 'desktop-*' / 'v*' tags, attaches artifacts to release
- Makefile: desktop (build), desktop-package (build + zip/tar.gz)
- CONTRIBUTING.md: documented desktop app + commands
Risk: low. Wails v3 alpha API may shift; the Go glue is ~380 lines and
trivially portable. The desktop app is additive — zero changes to the
existing server or SPA logic. No config mutation, no infrastructure
impact.
Verification: go build, go vet, go mod tidy all pass.
