MikroMon - MikroTik RouterOS Realtime Monitoring (Flask MVP)

Minimalist, dark-themed web UI + full JSON API + realtime charts via Socket.IO.

Features

• Multi-user accounts (Argon2 password hashing)
• Devices: MikroTik RouterOS REST + optional SSH (paramiko)
• Dashboards with widgets (presets + configurable)
• Realtime streaming (polling workers -> Socket.IO rooms)
• Sharing: per-user ACL (view/edit/manage) + public read-only links
• Admin panel (master role)
• SMTP password reset (token + TTL) + admin SMTP test
• Audit log
• Server-side sessions (DB)
• CSRF (forms), rate-limiting for auth endpoints
• Static cache-busting with MD5 hash query param and long cache headers

Quick start (dev, no Docker)

1) Create venv + install

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

2) Configure env

Copy .env.example -> .env and edit.

3) Init DB (SQLite by default)

export FLASK_APP=app.py
flask db upgrade

4) Run

python app.py

Open: http://127.0.0.1:5000

Default admin:

• email: admin@example.com
• password: Admin123! (change immediately)

Realtime

• Browser joins rooms per dashboard/device
• Poller runs in-process by default (APScheduler) for dev.
• Production: use Redis + RQ worker (see Docker).

API

• JSON API lives under /api/v1/...
• API explorer: /api/docs (lists endpoints + basic try-it)
• Auth: session cookie (same as UI) + optional API token (personal token) can be added later.

Insecure TLS (self-signed)

Per-device allow_insecure_tls flag allows verify=False for REST. UI shows a warning. Use only if you understand the risk.

Credentials encryption

Device credentials are encrypted using Fernet symmetric encryption. Key comes from CRED_ENC_KEY env (base64).

Rotate key

1. Set CRED_ENC_KEY_OLD to old key, CRED_ENC_KEY to new key.
2. Run:

flask devices rotate-cred-key

3. Remove CRED_ENC_KEY_OLD.

Reset admin password (CLI)

Option A (Flask CLI)

flask users set-password admin@example.com "NewStrongPassword123!"

Option B (script)

python scripts/set_admin_password.py admin@example.com "NewStrongPassword123!"

Tests

pytest -q

Docker

See docker-compose.yml. It can run app + Postgres + Redis + RQ worker.

Production notes

• Put behind HTTPS reverse proxy (nginx/Traefik/Caddy)
• Use Postgres/MySQL for multi-instance
• Run workers separately (RQ/Celery) + Redis
• Set SECRET_KEY, SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE=1, PREFERRED_URL_SCHEME=https
• Configure rate limits and global per-user limits
