| 1 | +# Derail.me Integration Guide |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +## Overview |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +ChittyPro Streamlink has been successfully white-labeled and integrated into the derail.me platform as a camera surveillance module. This integration provides professional camera management capabilities within the derail.me ecosystem. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +## White-Label Configuration |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +### Brand Colors |
| 10 | +The system now uses derail.me's brand palette: |
| 11 | +- **Primary (Charcoal)**: `#2d3436` - Main UI elements, text |
| 12 | +- **Accent (Electric Teal)**: `#00d9ff` - Interactive elements, highlights |
| 13 | +- **Background (Cream)**: `#f8f7f4` - Page backgrounds |
| 14 | +- **Surface (Sand)**: `#e8dcc4` - Card backgrounds, elevated surfaces |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +### Branding |
| 17 | +- **Name**: "Derail Camera System" |
| 18 | +- **Short Name**: "Derail Cameras" |
| 19 | +- **Tagline**: "Professional Surveillance, Simplified" |
| 20 | +- **Footer**: "© 2025 Derail.me. All rights reserved." |
| 21 | +- **ChittyPro branding**: Hidden (as per white-label config) |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +### Enabled Features |
| 24 | +Per derail.me requirements, the following features are configured: |
| 25 | +- ✅ Multi-camera grid layout |
| 26 | +- ✅ PTZ controls |
| 27 | +- ✅ Guest access management |
| 28 | +- ✅ Recording capabilities |
| 29 | +- ❌ Chat system (disabled) |
| 30 | +- ❌ Analytics (disabled) |
| 31 | +- ❌ AI features (disabled) |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +## Technical Implementation |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +### 1. White-Label System |
| 36 | +**Location**: `client/src/hooks/use-whitelabel.ts` |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +```typescript |
| 39 | +// Loads configuration from /config/whitelabel-derail.json |
| 40 | +const { config, loading } = useWhitelabel(); |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +// Dynamically applies theme colors via CSS variables |
| 43 | +// Updates document title and favicon |
| 44 | +// Feature flags control UI elements |
| 45 | +``` |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +**Config File**: `config/whitelabel-derail.json` |
| 48 | +- Contains all branding, theme, and feature settings |
| 49 | +- Served via API endpoint: `GET /config/whitelabel-derail.json` |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +### 2. CSS Theme Integration |
| 52 | +**Location**: `client/src/index.css` |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +All colors now use CSS variables that are dynamically set by the white-label system: |
| 55 | +```css |
| 56 | +:root { |
| 57 | + --background: 32, 8%, 96%; /* Cream */ |
| 58 | + --foreground: 195, 7%, 21%; /* Charcoal */ |
| 59 | + --accent: 190, 100%, 50%; /* Electric Teal */ |
| 60 | + --surface: 39, 28%, 85%; /* Sand */ |
| 61 | + /* ... */ |
| 62 | +} |
| 63 | +``` |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +### 3. UI Components Updated |
| 66 | +**Camera Dashboard** (`client/src/pages/camera-dashboard.tsx`): |
| 67 | +- Displays dynamic branding from config |
| 68 | +- Shows/hides features based on white-label settings |
| 69 | +- Uses theme variables for all styling |
| 70 | +- No inline styles (all CSS variable-based) |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +**Feature Conditional Rendering**: |
| 73 | +```tsx |
| 74 | +{config.features.guestAccess && <ShareButton />} |
| 75 | +{config.features.multiCamera && <LayoutButton />} |
| 76 | +{config.features.chat && <Sidebar />} |
| 77 | +``` |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +### 4. Server Integration |
| 80 | +**ChittyPro Streamlink Server** (Port 3001): |
| 81 | +- Serves white-label config at `/config/whitelabel-derail.json` |
| 82 | +- All camera APIs available at `/api/cameras` |
| 83 | +- WebSocket for real-time features at `/ws` |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +**Derail.me Server Integration** (`/Users/nb/.claude/projects/-/derail-me/src/server/index.js`): |
| 86 | +- Camera routes registered at `/api/cameras` |
| 87 | +- Proxy to ChittyPro service at `http://localhost:3001` |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +**Camera Routes** (`/Users/nb/.claude/projects/-/derail-me/src/server/routes/cameras.js`): |
| 90 | +```javascript |
| 91 | +// Proxies all requests to ChittyPro Streamlink |
| 92 | +const CAMERA_SERVICE_URL = "http://localhost:3001"; |
| 93 | +router.get("/", async (req, res) => { |
| 94 | + const response = await fetch(`${CAMERA_SERVICE_URL}/api/cameras`); |
| 95 | + res.json(await response.json()); |
| 96 | +}); |
| 97 | +``` |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +## Deployment Configuration |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +### Environment Variables |
| 102 | +**ChittyPro Streamlink** (`.env`): |
| 103 | +```bash |
| 104 | +PORT=3001 |
| 105 | +NODE_ENV=production |
| 106 | +DATABASE_URL=postgresql://... |
| 107 | +``` |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +**Derail.me** (`.env`): |
| 110 | +```bash |
| 111 | +CAMERA_SERVICE_URL=http://localhost:3001 |
| 112 | +PORT=3000 |
| 113 | +``` |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | +### Nginx Configuration |
| 116 | +The white-label config includes nginx routing: |
| 117 | +```json |
| 118 | +"deployment": { |
| 119 | + "type": "module", |
| 120 | + "port": 3001, |
| 121 | + "nginx": { |
| 122 | + "locationPath": "/cameras", |
| 123 | + "apiPath": "/api/cameras", |
| 124 | + "wsPath": "/ws/cameras" |
| 125 | + } |
| 126 | +} |
| 127 | +``` |
| 128 | + |
| 129 | +Suggested nginx config: |
| 130 | +```nginx |
| 131 | +# Camera UI |
| 132 | +location /cameras { |
| 133 | + proxy_pass http://localhost:3001; |
| 134 | + proxy_http_version 1.1; |
| 135 | + proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade; |
| 136 | + proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade'; |
| 137 | + proxy_set_header Host $host; |
| 138 | + proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade; |
| 139 | +} |
| 140 | +
|
| 141 | +# Camera API (via derail.me server) |
| 142 | +location /api/cameras { |
| 143 | + proxy_pass http://localhost:3000/api/cameras; |
| 144 | +} |
| 145 | +
|
| 146 | +# Camera WebSocket |
| 147 | +location /ws/cameras { |
| 148 | + proxy_pass http://localhost:3001/ws; |
| 149 | + proxy_http_version 1.1; |
| 150 | + proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade; |
| 151 | + proxy_set_header Connection "Upgrade"; |
| 152 | +} |
| 153 | +``` |
