Security:
- Bind HTTP gateway to 127.0.0.1 by default; add --bind for LAN opt-in
- Restrict Reticulum mesh surface to GET /api/sites only (CSRF cannot
authenticate mesh callers, so gate by whitelist)
- Cap request body size at 16 MiB to prevent memory DoS
- Redact /bookmark query strings from request logs so the bookmark token
and URLs do not land in stdout / docker / journal logs
- Tighten FTS5 sanitizer: strip colon, drop AND/OR/NOT/NEAR operator words
- Expand .dockerignore; document trust model in README
Features:
- Add sharing mode toggle (share everything except private vs share only
public-tagged) with /share/preview so users can see what subscribers
would receive before enabling sharing
Bugs:
- handle_export() crashed on every call (missing query kwarg)
- Dead float16 decompression branch in embeddings.py silently corrupted
the HNSW index when compress_embeddings was on
- GATEWAY_PORT staleness: --port and find_available_port had no effect
on the actual bind
- semantic_search default mismatched between db.py ("1") and the rest of
the app ("0"), causing embeddings to be generated when the UI said off
- Connection pool returned connections with uncommitted transactions to
the next consumer
- Gateway POST body decode 502'd on non-UTF-8 input
- ensure_rns_config clobbered user-edited ~/.reticulum/config; now only
rewrites files it authored (sentinel-tagged)
- Progressive retry in rns_client.py: fast timeout (15s) then slow (60s+)
for LoRa/multi-hop links, with automatic fallback
- Background sync threads so subscriptions page returns immediately
with syncing/error status indicators per subscription
- LoRa RNode configuration in settings page with serial port and
expandable advanced radio settings (frequency, bandwidth, etc.)
- Internet transport now toggleable alongside LoRa — users can
enable one, the other, or both
- Reticulum config auto-generated from settings on startup
- Add pyinstaller.spec and GitHub/Forgejo CI workflows for cross-platform builds
- Add AGPLv3 license
- Move data storage to ~/.tinyweb/
- Add --version and --port CLI flags
- Add transport node selection in /style (smart regeneration preserves Reticulum config)
- Add discover more nodes link to rmap.world
- Add semantic_search setting to toggle AI-powered search on/off
- Skip embedding generation, hybrid search, and model preloading when disabled
- Use site owner's meta description as snippet instead of heuristic extraction
- Remove _generate_summary() and snippet() - no more generated snippets
- Show reranker/reindex controls grayed out when semantic search is off
- AI dependencies (onnxruntime, hnswlib, etc.) are now fully optional
Implements a three-stage search pipeline:
1. BM25 keyword search via FTS5 with column weights
2. Semantic search via Snowflake arctic-embed-s bi-encoder + HNSW index
3. Optional cross-encoder reranking (on by default, toggleable in settings)
Top 20 results are reranked for precision, next 10 appended from RRF
for coverage, giving 30 total results across 3 pages.
- New embeddings.py with ONNX Runtime inference, text chunking, HNSW
index management, RRF fusion, and cross-encoder reranking
- Meta description extraction for authentic page snippets with centroid
extractive fallback
- Stopword filtering in FTS5 queries to avoid overly strict matching
- /reindex page for batch embedding of existing pages
- Semantic embedding of remote pages during subscription sync
- ~125MB dependency footprint (onnxruntime, tokenizers, hnswlib, numpy)
- Models: 34MB bi-encoder + 22MB cross-encoder (downloaded on first use)
With share_instance = Yes, announces weren't being sent over TCP
in Docker environments. Setting it to No ensures each TinyWeb
instance manages its own Reticulum interfaces directly.
New TinyWeb instances now auto-connect to reticulum.derickphan.com:4242
so users get internet mesh connectivity out of the box without any
manual Reticulum configuration. Env var overrides still supported.
Replaces static CMD with an entrypoint that generates RNS config from
environment variables (RNS_TCP_HOST/PORT), enabling TCP transport for
environments without LAN auto-discovery (e.g. Docker on macOS).
- SSRF: disable automatic redirects, manually follow up to 5 hops with
IP re-validation at each step to prevent redirect-to-localhost bypass
- Identity file: enforce 0600 permissions on tinyweb_identity at load
and creation to prevent other users from reading the private key
- Error messages: replace raw exception strings with generic messages
to avoid leaking internal paths/hostnames to the UI
- DB connections: wrap all get_db() usage in try/finally to guarantee
close() even when handlers throw mid-operation
Shows instance stats, destination hash for subscribing, and explains
the slow web movement and how TinyWeb works. Destination hash is
stored in settings on startup so the about page can display it.
app.py now auto-starts the gateway HTTP server in a daemon thread,
so users only need `python app.py` to get everything running. The
gateway calls dispatch_request directly when co-located (local mode)
instead of trying to establish an RNS link to itself. Bookmarklet
hardcoded to localhost:8080. gateway.py still works standalone for
connecting to remote instances.
Replace HTTP server with Reticulum-native architecture. The server
now speaks only Reticulum, with a client-side gateway providing
browser access by translating HTTP to/from RNS requests.
- Extract db layer (db.py), templates (templates.py), handlers (handlers.py)
- app.py is now the RNS server with persistent identity and destination
- gateway.py bridges HTTP on localhost:8080 to RNS link requests
- Add rns dependency, add .gitignore
Makes the server accessible from other devices on the network
instead of only localhost. The bookmarklet now uses the Host header
from the request so it works regardless of how the server is accessed.
