Joachim Wiberg f2f52f8518 webui: sidebar fixes, content sectioning, and theme fixes
Drop the useless 768–1024px icon-only sidebar mode; everything up to
1024px now uses the hamburger overlay and full-width sidebar.

Fix the user dropdown on touch devices: click now toggles aria-expanded
so CSS-driven visibility works without hover.  A document click listener
closes the menu when tapping outside.

Give the sidebar proper light/dark tokens instead of hardcoded dark
values. Introduce --sidebar-hover-fg (primary in light, white in dark)
so nav-link hover text is legible in both themes.

Fix dropdown hover background using --border instead of --border-subtle,
which had zero contrast against the surface in dark mode.

Keep active nav link in sync with the current URL via JS so it updates
correctly after htmx navigation instead of staying on the initial
server-rendered page.  Also, add YouTube-style progress when laoding
pages that take time, e.g., Dashboard.

Infix WebUI

A lightweight web management interface for Infix network devices, built with Go and htmx.

The WebUI communicates with the device over RESTCONF (RFC 8040), presenting the same operational data available through the Infix CLI in a browser-friendly format.

Features

  • Dashboard -- system info, hardware, sensors, and interface summary with bridge member grouping
  • Interfaces -- list with status, addresses, and per-type detail; click through to a detail page with live-updating counters, WiFi station table, scan results, WireGuard peers, and ethernet frame statistics
  • Firewall -- zone-to-zone policy matrix
  • Keystore -- symmetric and asymmetric key display
  • Firmware -- slot overview, install from URL with live progress
  • Reboot -- two-phase status polling (wait down, wait up)
  • Config download -- startup datastore as JSON

Building

Requires Go 1.22 or later.

make build

Produces a statically linked webui binary with all templates, CSS, and JS embedded.

Cross-compile for the target:

GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm64 make build

Running

./webui --restconf https://192.168.0.1/restconf --listen :10000
Flag Default Description
--listen :10000 Address to listen on
--restconf http://localhost:8080/restconf RESTCONF base URL of the device
--insecure-tls false Disable TLS certificate verification

The RESTCONF URL can also be set via the RESTCONF_URL environment variable.

Development

Point RESTCONF_URL at a running Infix device and start the dev server:

make dev ARGS="--restconf https://192.168.0.1/restconf"

This runs go run . on port 10000 with --insecure-tls already set.

Architecture

Browser ──htmx──▶ Go server ──RESTCONF──▶ Infix device (rousette/sysrepo)
  • Single binary -- templates, CSS, JS, and images are embedded via go:embed
  • Server-side rendering -- Go html/template with per-page parsing to avoid {{define "content"}} collisions
  • htmx SPA navigation -- sidebar links use hx-get / hx-target for partial page updates with hx-push-url for browser history
  • Stateless sessions -- AES-256-GCM encrypted cookies carry credentials (needed for every RESTCONF call); no server-side session store
  • Live polling -- counters update every 5s, firmware progress every 3s, all via htmx triggers
