Session tokens were derived from Math.random() + Date.now() — predictable enough that a determined attacker could brute-force or guess valid tokens for other users. Switch to crypto.randomBytes(32) (256 bits of CSPRNG output, hex-encoded), the standard for opaque bearer tokens. Also adds deleteOtherSessions(userId, keepToken) so the upcoming password-change flow can log a user out of every other device when they rotate their password.
Proof of Work
Self-hosted multi-user workout planner and logger. Plan training cycles, log daily workouts, search your history, and curate a shared exercise library across everyone on the instance. Distributed as a StartOS 0.4 sideload package.
Repo layout
proof-of-work/ Next.js app (TypeScript, Prisma + SQLite, Tailwind, PWA)
start9/0.4/ StartOS 0.4 package wrapper (manifest, Dockerfile,
entrypoint, version graph, change-credentials action)
Everything else is generated at build time.
Local development
cd proof-of-work
npm install
npx prisma generate # important after schema changes
npx prisma db push # create the dev DB at prisma/data/app.db
npm run db:seed # admin@local / workout123 + curated library + admin flag
npm run dev # http://localhost:3000
Multi-user
Every install starts with one admin user (admin@local) and sign-ups
closed. To open the instance to additional users:
- In-app: log in as admin -> Settings -> Instance Settings -> Allow new sign-ups.
- StartOS: Services -> Proof of Work -> Actions -> Set new signups.
Both write to the same InstanceSettings row; either path works.
When sign-ups are open, anyone reaching the URL can create an account at
/auth/signup. New users start with no admin privileges and are
automatically seeded the full curated exercise library.
Building the StartOS package
See start9/0.4/DEPLOY_040.md for the full deployment / cutover guide. Short version:
cd start9/0.4
npm ci
make clean
make x86 # produces proof-of-work_x86_64.s9pk
make install # sideload to the host in ~/.startos/config.yaml
Curated exercise library
proof-of-work/prisma/exercises.seed.json is the canonical library
shipped to every install. It seeds fresh installs (via prisma/seed.ts)
and is re-applied on every boot to existing installs (via
docker_entrypoint.sh + ensureExerciseLibrary.cjs) so updates flow to
all users on package upgrade.
Refresh the JSON from the maintainer's live host:
./start9/0.4/refresh_seed.sh <ssh-target> # pull a fresh /data snapshot
cd proof-of-work && npm run sync-library # extract Exercise table -> JSON
git diff prisma/exercises.seed.json
The system is additive only — removing an exercise from the JSON does
not delete it from existing installs (users may have logged sets against
it). Users' own custom exercises (isCustom = true) are never touched.
Privacy
start9/0.4/seed/data/app.db is your live /data snapshot. It contains
real workout history and a bcrypt'd password hash. The top-level
.gitignore keeps it out of git; do NOT commit it to any public repo.
