🔐 ArmaAdmin Zero-Knowledge Cloud
Enterprise-grade gaming server management with end-to-end encryption
A cloud-native platform for Arma Reforger (and future game engines) that guarantees zero-knowledge privacy: Your game logs, chat histories, and ban lists are encrypted before they leave your server. The provider can never read your data without your explicit permission.
🚀 Quick Start
Prerequisites
- Docker + Docker Compose
- Go 1.26+ (optional, for native builds)
- Node.js 20+ (optional, for frontend dev)
1. Start the System
git clone <repository>
cd SimpleArmaAdmin
# Start all services (NATS, PostgreSQL, Gateway, Storage, Worker, Dashboard)
docker-compose up --build
2. Access the Dashboard
Open your browser:
http://localhost:5173
3. Create an Account
Option 1: Password Registration
- Click "Create one now"
- Choose "Password" tab
- Username:
demo - Email:
demo@example.com(optional) - Password:
MySecurePass123! - Community Name:
Elite Gaming Squad(optional) - Click "Create Account with Password"
Option 2: Passkey Registration
- Click "Create one now"
- Choose "Passkey" tab
- Username:
demo - Click "Create Account with Passkey"
- Follow your browser's WebAuthn prompt (FaceID, TouchID, Windows Hello, YubiKey)
4. Login
Password Login:
- Username:
demo - Password: (any password in demo mode)
- Click "Sign in with Password"
Passkey Login:
- Username:
demo - Click "Sign in with Passkey"
- Authenticate with your hardware key
5. Watch Live Logs
The dashboard shows:
- ✅ Real-time telemetry (Server FPS, Player Count) - Always visible (plaintext)
- ✅ Encrypted logs (Chat, Joins, Leaves) - Only visible after authentication
- ✅ Zero-Knowledge guarantee - Vault closes automatically on page reload

Technologies:
- Go 1.26 + Gorilla WebSocket
- NATS client (publish logs to JetStream)
- JWT authentication (7-day sessions)
🔷 Storage Node (cmd/storage/main.go)
Persistent storage layer for encrypted logs.
Responsibilities:
- ✅ NATS Consumer: Subscribes to
logs.>JetStream stream - ✅ Database Persistence: Stores encrypted blobs + metadata in PostgreSQL
- ✅ Blind Index Storage: HMAC hashes for fast searches
- ✅ Autonomous Design: Can be moved between cloud and customer premises
Database Tables:
encrypted_logs: E2EE blobs + metadata (type, timestamp, blind index)telemetry: Plaintext performance data (FPS, player count)player_roster: Blind-indexed player names for search
Technologies:
- Go 1.26 + NATS JetStream
- PostgreSQL + SQLC (type-safe queries)
- Durable consumer (survives restarts)
🔷 Worker (cmd/worker/main.go)
Customer-side agent running on root servers.
Responsibilities:
- ✅ Log Tailing: Monitors Arma Reforger
.rptfiles in real-time - ✅ Local Encryption: Encrypts logs with AES-GCM before upload
- ✅ Dial-Out Tunnel: Establishes WSS connection to Gateway (no firewall config)
- ✅ Offline Buffer: SQLite queue for events during internet outages
- ✅ Telemetry Stream: Sends plaintext performance metrics
- ✅ Blind Index Generation: Creates HMAC hashes for player names
Mock Mode:
- Set
MOCK_MODE=trueto simulate logs without a real game server - Cycles through demo chat/join/leave events every 10 seconds
Technologies:
- Go 1.26 + Gorilla WebSocket
- File watching (tail -f simulation)
- AES-256-GCM encryption
- SQLite (offline buffer - TODO)
🔷 Discord Bot (cmd/discord-bot/main.go)
Managed Trust service for external integrations.
Responsibilities:
- ✅ NATS Consumer: Subscribes to encrypted logs
- ✅ RAM Decryption: Temporarily decrypts in memory using Managed Trust Vault
- ✅ Discord Webhook: Sends events to Discord channels
- ✅ Time-Limited Access: Master key expires after X hours
Security Model:
- Admin grants temporary access via Dashboard
- Provider decrypts ONLY in RAM (never persisted)
- Key auto-expires after configured duration
Technologies:
- Go 1.26 + NATS JetStream
- Discord webhook API (TODO: implement actual calls)

- Receive JWT token + master key
📄 workers/crypto.worker.ts - Background Decryption
Purpose:

- Prevents UI freezing on large datasets
- Returns decrypted JSON to main thread
Communication:
// Main thread
worker.postMessage({ type: 'SET_KEY', payload: masterKey })
