jcoffey-dev e4ad5e2c1e A warmer, friendlier admin: first pass
- The INBUXA palette on warm surfaces, softer cards, buttons and inputs, and
  self-hosted Inter and Space Grotesk.
- Each section's icon sits on a colored tile, colored by what the section is
  about.
- The sidebar gets a guide line for sub-pages and a labeled Management /
  Settings / Account switch, and folds to a rail of tiles (remembered).
- Every page has a header with its section's tile.
- Fields and pages with no label of their own are spelled out in words
  (defaultCertificateId becomes Default certificate ID).
- The dashboard greets you, and its stat cards wear colored tiles.
- Unavailable live numbers are a calm note, not an error.
- The cat appears in empty lists and while loading.
- Chart colors work again: they were hex values wrapped in hsl().

INBUXA Admin

The administration interface for the INBUXA mail server: every server setting, first-boot setup, and recovery, in the browser.

It is schema-driven. After signing in it fetches the server's schema and builds every form, list and menu from it, so it covers every setting the server has without hardcoding any of them.

Status: in development, not released.

Design

  • One edition. Every feature the server has is available here, with nothing held back. See the INBUXA server's docs/spec/.
  • Runs anywhere, not on the mail server. INBUXA Admin is its own deployment, never installed onto the mail server. It's pointed at the server either at build time (VITE_API_BASE_URL) or at deploy time: <meta name="api-base-url" content="https://mail.example.com"> in index.html. Hosted like that, it signs in as the OAuth client inbuxa-admin, which the server registers when it's started with INBUXA_ADMIN_URL set to INBUXA Admin's address (for development, http://localhost:5173).
  • INBUXA's look: the logo and ihasmail's palette.
  • Two-factor setup names INBUXA as the issuer, and no longer makes authenticator apps fetch a logo from a third-party site.

Developing

npm ci
npm run dev          # http://localhost:5173, against VITE_API_BASE_URL in .env.development
npm run typecheck && npx eslint src/ && npx vitest run
npm run build

Keeping up with upstream

The upstream codebase's history contains no code under a proprietary license, so this is an ordinary git fork. upstream is a fetch-only remote:

git fetch upstream --tags
git merge v1.0.12        # the next release tag

Versions

INBUXA Admin has its own dated version (inbuxa-version.json), shown with the upstream release it's based on: INBUXA Admin 2026.9.18 (base 1.0.11). package.json keeps upstream's version, so upstream's bumps merge cleanly.

Source code

Every build carries its own source. The interface links to it (the user menu and the sign-in page), and the build writes it next to the app as source.tar.gz: the exact tree the running version was built from.
