FelixG 3802924c6a Initial scaffold: full-stack mRemotify monorepo
Sets up the complete mRemotify project — a browser-based remote
connection manager — with a working pnpm workspace monorepo:

Frontend (React + TypeScript + Vite + Ant Design 5):
- Login page with JWT auth
- Resizable sidebar with drag-and-drop connection tree (folders + connections)
- Tabbed session area (SSH via xterm.js, RDP via guacamole-common-js)
- Connection CRUD modal with SSH/RDP-specific fields
- Zustand store for auth, tree data, and open sessions

Backend (Fastify + TypeScript + Prisma + PostgreSQL):
- JWT authentication (login + /me endpoint)
- Full CRUD REST API for folders (self-referencing) and connections
- AES-256-CBC password encryption at rest
- WebSocket proxy for SSH sessions (ssh2 <-> xterm.js)
- WebSocket proxy for RDP sessions (guacd TCP handshake + bidirectional relay)
- Admin user seeding on first start

Infrastructure:
- Docker Compose: postgres (healthcheck) + guacd + backend + frontend/nginx
- nginx: serves SPA, proxies /api and /ws (with WebSocket upgrade) to backend
- .env.example with all required variables documented

# mRemotify
A browser-based remote connection manager — open-source alternative to mRemoteNG.
Manage SSH and RDP connections through a clean web UI with a familiar tree-based layout and tabbed session view.
## Stack
| Layer | Tech |
|-----------|-------------------------------------------------|
| Frontend | React 18 · TypeScript · Vite · Ant Design 5 |
| Backend | Fastify · TypeScript · Prisma · PostgreSQL |
| SSH | ssh2 (Node.js) proxied over WebSocket |
| RDP | Apache Guacamole (guacd) + guacamole-common-js |
| Auth | JWT · bcryptjs · AES-256 password encryption |
| Infra | Docker Compose · pnpm workspaces |
## Features
- **Connection tree** — folders with drag-and-drop, Linux / Windows icons per connection
- **Tabbed sessions** — each opened connection gets its own tab
- **SSH sessions** — full xterm.js terminal over WebSocket
- **RDP sessions** — Guacamole-based remote desktop in the browser
- **Encrypted storage** — passwords stored AES-256 encrypted at rest
- **JWT auth** — login-protected, all API + WebSocket routes secured
## Quick start (Docker Compose)
```bash
# 1. Clone & enter
git clone https://github.com/yourname/mremotify.git
cd mremotify
# 2. Configure environment
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env: set ENCRYPTION_KEY (32 chars), JWT_SECRET, ADMIN_PASSWORD
# 3. Start everything
docker compose up -d
# 4. Open in browser
open http://localhost
```
Default login: `admin` / `admin123` (change via `ADMIN_USER` / `ADMIN_PASSWORD` in `.env` before first start).
## Development (without Docker)
Prerequisites: Node.js >= 20, pnpm >= 9, PostgreSQL running locally.
```bash
# Install all workspace dependencies
pnpm install
# Copy and fill in env
cp .env.example .env
# Set POSTGRES_URL to your local DB, etc.
# Run DB migrations + seed
cd backend && npx prisma migrate dev && npx prisma db seed && cd ..
# Start backend + frontend in parallel
pnpm dev
```
Frontend dev server: http://localhost:5173
Backend API: http://localhost:3000
