Dashboard

Status: Implemented (Milestone 10)

Bakend includes a SvelteKit administration dashboard served at /_/.

Build

From the repository root:

bun run dashboard:build

During development, run the dashboard dev server (proxies /api to Bakend):

bun run dashboard:dev

Configuration

bakend.json:

{
  "dashboard": {
    "enabled": true
  }
}

Env: BAKEND_DASHBOARD_ENABLED=true|false

If the build directory is missing, Bakend logs a warning and continues serving the API.

Login

1. Set BAKEND_ADMIN_EMAIL before the first registration, or promote a user via the API.
2. Open http://localhost:8080/_/
3. Sign in with an admin account (POST /api/auth/login).

The dashboard stores the JWT in sessionStorage.

Sections

Section	Description
Overview	Counts for collections, users, files, and jobs
Collections	Create, edit, and delete schemas; CRUD records
Users	List users, change roles, delete accounts
Storage	Upload, browse, and delete files
Functions	Read-only list of registered triggers
Jobs	Job schedules and recent run history
Logs	Tail recent server logs (in-memory buffer)

Schema changes

Editing a collection schema from the dashboard updates SQLite inline:

• Add, remove, or rename fields
• Update permissions without DDL
• Field type changes on existing columns are rejected

Schema edits are stored in the database only (not written back to collections/*.json).
