# LuCI Netifyd Dashboard
docs: Reorganize documentation structure and add architecture diagrams
Major documentation improvements and restructuring for better maintainability
and navigation.
## Structural Changes
### New Documentation Organization
- Move all documentation to DOCS/ directory for better organization
- Create DOCS/archive/ for historical documents
- Move deployment scripts to secubox-tools/ directory
### Archived Documents
- COMPLETION_REPORT.md → archive/ (project milestone)
- MODULE-ENABLE-DISABLE-DESIGN.md → archive/ (feature implemented)
- BUILD_ISSUES.md → archive/ (issues resolved)
- Add archive/README.md with archiving policy and document index
## Documentation Enhancements
### Version Standardization
- Add version headers to CLAUDE.md (v1.0.0)
- Add version headers to BUILD_ISSUES.md (v1.0.0)
- Standardize date format to YYYY-MM-DD across all docs
### Cross-References & Navigation
- Add "See Also" sections to PERMISSIONS-GUIDE.md
- Add "See Also" sections to VALIDATION-GUIDE.md
- Link quick references to detailed guides
- Improve documentation discoverability
### Architecture Diagrams (Mermaid)
Add 3 professional diagrams to DEVELOPMENT-GUIDELINES.md:
1. **System Architecture Diagram** (§2)
- Complete data flow: Browser → LuCI → RPCD → ubus → System
- Color-coded components by layer
- Shows JavaScript, RPC, RPCD daemon, UCI, system services
2. **Deployment Workflow Diagram** (§9)
- Step-by-step deployment process with validation checkpoints
- Error recovery paths for common issues (403, 404, -32000)
- Local validation, file transfer, permission fixes, service restarts
3. **Component Hierarchy Diagram** (§1)
- Standard page structure and CSS class relationships
- Page → Header → Stats → Content → Cards → Buttons
- Shows design system component organization
## New Files
### TODO-ANALYSE.md
- Comprehensive documentation improvement roadmap
- Tasks categorized: Immediate, Short-term, Long-term, Optional
- Progress tracking with acceptance criteria
- Covers testing, security, performance guides
- Documentation automation plans
## Benefits
✅ Cleaner project structure (docs in DOCS/, tools in secubox-tools/)
✅ Better documentation navigation with cross-references
✅ Visual understanding through architecture diagrams
✅ Historical documents archived but accessible
✅ Standardized versioning across all documentation
✅ Clear roadmap for future documentation improvements

Network Intelligence dashboard with Deep Packet Inspection for OpenWrt. Visualize applications, protocols, and devices on your network in real-time.

## Features
### 🔍 Deep Packet Inspection
- Real-time application detection (Netflix, YouTube, Zoom, etc.)
- Protocol identification (HTTP, HTTPS, DNS, QUIC, etc.)
- Traffic categorization (Web, Streaming, Gaming, VoIP)
### 🔄 Network Flows
- Live connection tracking
- Source/destination visualization
- Per-flow bandwidth statistics
- Protocol breakdown (TCP/UDP/ICMP)
### 📱 Application Intelligence
- Traffic by application
- Category distribution
- Historical usage data
- Top bandwidth consumers
### 💻 Device Discovery
- Automatic device detection
- Vendor identification (MAC OUI lookup)
- Hostname resolution via DHCP
- Network interface mapping
### 🎨 Modern Interface
- Purple/blue cyberpunk theme
- Animated charts and donut graphs
- Responsive grid layout
- Real-time data updates

## Installation
### Prerequisites
- OpenWrt 21.02 or later
- Netifyd package installed
- LuCI web interface
```bash
# Install netifyd
opkg update
opkg install netifyd
# Enable and start
/etc/init.d/netifyd enable
/etc/init.d/netifyd start
```
### From Source
```bash
# Clone into OpenWrt build environment
cd ~/openwrt/feeds/luci/applications/
git clone https://github.com/gkerma/luci-app-netifyd-dashboard.git
# Update feeds and install
cd ~/openwrt
./scripts/feeds update -a
./scripts/feeds install -a
# Enable in menuconfig
make menuconfig
# Navigate to: LuCI > Applications > luci-app-netifyd-dashboard
# Build package
make package/luci-app-netifyd-dashboard/compile V=s
```
### Manual Installation
```bash
# Transfer package to router
scp luci-app-netifyd-dashboard_1.0.0-1_all.ipk root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/
# Install on router
ssh root@192.168.1.1
opkg install /tmp/luci-app-netifyd-dashboard_1.0.0-1_all.ipk
# Restart services
/etc/init.d/rpcd restart
```
## Usage
After installation, access the dashboard at:
**Status → Netifyd Dashboard**
The dashboard has four tabs:
1. **Overview** : Quick stats, protocol distribution, top applications
2. **Flows** : Real-time connection table with DPI info
3. **Applications** : Detected applications with traffic breakdown
4. **Devices** : Network device discovery and identification

## What is Netifyd?
[Netifyd ](https://www.netify.ai/ ) is a deep packet inspection daemon that identifies applications and protocols on your network. It's the open-source engine behind Netify network intelligence.
Key capabilities:
- Layer 7 application identification
- 300+ protocol signatures
- 1000+ application signatures
- Machine learning classification
- Low CPU/memory footprint
## Requirements
- OpenWrt 21.02+
- netifyd (DPI engine)
- LuCI (luci-base)
- rpcd with luci module
## Dependencies
- `luci-base`
- `luci-lib-jsonc`
- `rpcd`
- `rpcd-mod-luci`
- `netifyd`
## Configuration
Netifyd configuration is in `/etc/netifyd.conf` . Key options:
```
# Interfaces to monitor
[capture]
interface = br-lan
interface = eth0.2
# Enable flow tracking
[flow]
enable = yes
```
