# Flutter UI Migration
|
||||
|
||||
## Current Boundary
|
||||
|
||||
Keep the daemon as-is and replace only the desktop UI process. The Flutter app
|
||||
should continue to talk to `DaemonService` from `client/proto/daemon.proto`.
|
||||
|
||||
The current UI is not a simple settings window. It owns:
|
||||
|
||||
- tray/menu-bar state and nested menu actions
|
||||
- gRPC connection management and event subscription
|
||||
- connect, disconnect, login, and session-expired flows
|
||||
- profile switching, deregistration, and profile windows
|
||||
- network route and exit-node selection
|
||||
- advanced settings
|
||||
- debug bundle creation and upload status dialogs
|
||||
- enforced update notifications and progress windows
|
||||
- OS sleep/wake notification to the daemon
|
||||
- single-instance signaling and quick-actions windows
|
||||
|
||||
## Phases
|
||||
|
||||
1. Scaffold and generated gRPC client
|
||||
- Done: generated Dart stubs from `client/proto/daemon.proto`.
|
||||
- Done: app defaults to a gRPC-backed implementation and keeps
|
||||
`--fake-daemon` for UI-only work.
|
||||
- Remaining: replace the development user agent suffix with the release
|
||||
version at build time.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Core connection parity
|
||||
- Done: status polling and `SubscribeEvents` refresh hooks.
|
||||
- Done: `connect()` runs `Login` → optional SSO browser handoff via
|
||||
`openExternalUrl` → `WaitSSOLogin` → `Up`, with an `awaitingLogin` snapshot
|
||||
state and a banner that exposes the verification URI and user code.
|
||||
- Done: `disconnect()` calls `Down`.
|
||||
- Match current daemon address defaults:
|
||||
- Windows: `tcp://127.0.0.1:41731`
|
||||
- Unix-like desktop: `unix:///var/run/netbird.sock`
|
||||
|
||||
3. Settings, profiles, and networks
|
||||
- Done: `GetConfig`/`SetConfig` for the toggleable settings (auto-connect,
|
||||
allow SSH, quantum resistance, lazy connections, block inbound,
|
||||
notifications). Read-only fields (management URL, interface, port, MTU)
|
||||
still need editable forms.
|
||||
- Done: profile add/switch/remove/logout via `AddProfile`,
|
||||
`SwitchProfile`, `RemoveProfile`, `Logout`.
|
||||
- Done: network list with overlap filtering, per-route
|
||||
`SelectNetworks`/`DeselectNetworks`, and exit-node single-selection.
|
||||
|
||||
4. Desktop integration
|
||||
- Done: tray icon and menu via `tray_manager` (status header, profile,
|
||||
Connect/Disconnect, Show window, Quit) with status-aware icons that fall
|
||||
back to template variants on macOS.
|
||||
- Done: window lifecycle via `window_manager` — close hides instead of
|
||||
exiting; tray "Quit" actually destroys the window.
|
||||
- Done: native notifications via `local_notifier`, fed by the daemon's
|
||||
`SubscribeEvents` stream and gated by the `notifications` setting (with
|
||||
CRITICAL severity always firing).
|
||||
- Done: browser launch and clipboard via `Process.run` and
|
||||
`flutter/services` Clipboard.
|
||||
- Remaining: file/folder reveal for debug bundles, single-instance
|
||||
signaling, quick-actions invocation, and sleep/wake forwarding through
|
||||
`NotifyOSLifecycle`. Settings/Networks submenus on the tray are deferred
|
||||
until the window-side flows are stable.
|
||||
- Note: `local_notifier` uses macOS's deprecated `NSUserNotificationCenter`
|
||||
(warns at build time). Plan to swap to `flutter_local_notifications`
|
||||
before release.
|
||||
|
||||
5. Debug and update flows
|
||||
- Done: rich debug bundle screen with anonymize, system-info, upload (URL),
|
||||
and run-with-trace + duration. State machine drives `GetLogLevel` →
|
||||
`SetLogLevel(TRACE)` → `Down` → `SetSyncResponsePersistence` → `Up` →
|
||||
progress over duration → `StopCPUProfile` → `DebugBundle`, with restore
|
||||
of original log level and persistence in a finally. Result dialog covers
|
||||
uploaded, upload-failed, and local-only outcomes with copy/open actions.
|
||||
- Done: enforced-update modal triggered by daemon `progress_window=show`
|
||||
metadata. Polls `GetInstallerResult` with a 15-min timeout, blocks close
|
||||
for 10 s, then surfaces success (auto-close) or failure (error message).
|
||||
- Remaining: hook a "Check for updates" / "Install now" button into the
|
||||
About surface that calls `TriggerUpdate` directly.
|
||||
|
||||
6. Release pipeline
|
||||
- Update `.github/workflows/release.yml` UI build steps.
|
||||
- Update `client/netbird.wxs`, `release_files/install.sh`, and
|
||||
`release_files/ui-post-install.sh` where they assume the Go UI artifact.
|
||||
- Update updater restart behavior in `client/internal/updater/installer`.
|
||||
- Preserve public artifact names until installers and updater logic are
|
||||
intentionally migrated.
|
||||
|
||||
## RPCs Used By The Current UI
|
||||
|
||||
The first production implementation should cover:
|
||||
|
||||
- `Status`, `Up`, `Down`
|
||||
- `Login`, `WaitSSOLogin`, `Logout`
|
||||
- `GetConfig`, `SetConfig`, `GetFeatures`
|
||||
- `SubscribeEvents`
|
||||
- `ListNetworks`, `SelectNetworks`, `DeselectNetworks`
|
||||
- `ListProfiles`, `AddProfile`, `SwitchProfile`, `RemoveProfile`,
|
||||
`GetActiveProfile`
|
||||
- `DebugBundle`, `GetLogLevel`, `SetLogLevel`, `SetSyncResponsePersistence`,
|
||||
`StartCPUProfile`, `StopCPUProfile`
|
||||
- `TriggerUpdate`, `GetInstallerResult`
|
||||
- `NotifyOSLifecycle`
|
||||
|
||||
## Risk Register
|
||||
|
||||
- Desktop tray support differs sharply across Windows, macOS, and Linux.
|
||||
- Linux app indicators and desktop-session startup need distro-level testing.
|
||||
- The updater currently restarts `netbird-ui` by process/app name on Windows and
|
||||
macOS, so artifact naming changes must be coordinated.
|
||||
- Dart gRPC over Unix domain sockets must be validated against the daemon's
|
||||
existing `unix://` address behavior.
|
||||
- Flutter desktop packaging is separate from Go builds, so release CI needs a
|
||||
new toolchain and cache strategy.
