prodcom-transcript's endpoint defaulted to 10.3.11.152:24480 — Apollo Beach's ProdCom. A fresh install anywhere therefore came up reading AB's comms and reported itself healthy doing it: that is exactly what the new North Attleboro install did. The default is now blank, so a new install says "No ProdCom server configured" (in red, as the ProPresenter modules already do for a missing host) until someone points it at the ProdCom for that location. Setting a host still connects as before. The same address is out of SPEC.md's worked example, CLAUDE.md's note about the reference app, and the prodcom-listener snapshot's config, README and fallback — that fallback now exits with a line telling the operator what to set, rather than throwing on an empty URL.

# ProdDash
|
|
|
|
Modular production dashboard web app for Waters Church, developed in this repo.
|
|
The app lives at the repo root and is built: zero-dependency Node server
|
|
(`server.js`, Node 18+), dashboard shell client in `public/`, admin page at
|
|
`/admin`, modules in `modules/`, and a native macOS menu-bar launcher in
|
|
`launcher/macos/` (Swift, no dependencies — the shipped macOS app: it carries
|
|
the server and its own Node runtime, supervises them, and owns the macOS
|
|
permissions modules declare; see its README). Runtime state (module
|
|
config, named layouts) is written to a per-machine data directory outside the
|
|
checkout (`PRODDASH_DATA_DIR` overrides; see README "Where settings are
|
|
kept") — never add code that writes runtime state into the repo folder.
|
|
[SPEC.md](SPEC.md) was the authority for the initial build;
|
|
[README.md](README.md) has run/configure/use instructions.
|
|
|
|
## Building a new module — read docs/MODULE-GUIDE.md first
|
|
|
|
**[docs/MODULE-GUIDE.md](docs/MODULE-GUIDE.md) is the authority on the module
|
|
contract** (manifest, client factory + moduleApi, optional server entry,
|
|
title-bar controls). The rules that matter most:
|
|
|
|
- A module is one self-contained folder in `modules/` — **never modify the
|
|
shell** (`server.js`, `public/`) to add one. Installation = the admin page's
|
|
Available modules (downloads from the repo into the data directory), or
|
|
drop the folder and restart; configure in `/admin`.
|
|
- **All settings in the admin page** (`configSchema` / `instanceSchema`) —
|
|
never a separate setup page, hand-edited file or env var. **Dependencies
|
|
ship inside the module folder** (zero deps is the norm). **Everything the
|
|
module does runs inside its server entry** — no helper scripts, companion
|
|
programs or daemons the operator starts by hand; a listener or decoder is
|
|
started in `init()` and stopped in `stop()`. Declare `"proddash": ">=x.y.z"`
|
|
and bump the module's `version` on every change.
|
|
- Browsers never call upstream services directly; the module's server routes
|
|
proxy everything (no CORS, secrets stay server-side).
|
|
- Style with the shell's CSS variables only, scoped under
|
|
`[data-module="<id>"]`; survive upstream loss (reconnect + `setStatus`).
|
|
- Verify against the guide's testing section and resilience checklist. Mocks
|
|
for the existing upstreams: `node tools/prodcom-mock.js` (ProdCom) and
|
|
`node band-lineup-display/tmp/pp-mock.js 1599` (ProPresenter).
|
|
`node tools/slack-mock.js 24716` (Slack; run ProdDash with `SLACK_API_BASE=http://127.0.0.1:24716/api`).
|
|
|
|
## Reference code (read-only forks — don't develop these here)
|
|
|
|
- `prodcom-listener/` — live ProdCom transcript web app. Zero-dependency Node
|
|
`server.js` that serves `public/` and proxies `/prodcom/*` (including the SSE
|
|
transcript stream) to the ProdCom API at `config.json → prodcomUrl`
|
|
(set per site; each campus runs its own). Good reference for: SSE handling,
|
|
reconnect logic, channel colors/filtering, PWA install.
|
|
- `band-lineup-display/` — backstage Electron app (stage lineup photos with
|
|
mic/pack labels) plus ProPresenter Now/Next:
|
|
- `band-lineup-display/propresenter-core/` — shared ProPresenter 7/20 client,
|
|
no deps, no Electron. All ProPresenter quirks live here (PP20 runtime route
|
|
discovery, arrangement-expanded slide totals, uuid-then-name live-item
|
|
matching). Reuse this rather than re-implementing ProPresenter access.
|
|
- `band-lineup-display/propresenter-app/` — standalone Now/Next web display.
|
|
- `band-lineup-display/tmp/pp-mock.js` — mock ProPresenter API for testing
|
|
without the real thing: `node tmp/pp-mock.js 1599`, then point at
|
|
`127.0.0.1:1599`.
|
|
|
|
Upstream sources: ProdCom Listener lives at
|
|
`github.com/michaelmcgary2008/prodcom-listener`; BandLineupDisplay exists only
|
|
on the production machine. These folders are snapshots, not submodules.
