🔐 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

🧩 Component Descriptions

🔷 Gateway (cmd/gateway/main.go)

The central API hub and WebSocket router.

Responsibilities:

  • WebSocket Server: Routes encrypted logs from Workers to Dashboard clients
  • Authentication API: Handles registration, login (password + passkey), logout
  • DSGVO Compliance: Data export, targeted deletion via blind index
  • Player Search: Query encrypted data without decryption
  • Shared Hosting API: Accepts HTTP POST from Nitrado/mod-based servers

Key Endpoints:

Method Endpoint Description
WS /ws?role=worker Worker connection (dial-out tunnel)
WS /ws?role=dashboard Dashboard real-time stream
POST /api/auth/register Password-based registration
POST /api/auth/register/passkey/begin Start Passkey registration
POST /api/auth/login/password Password login
POST /api/auth/login/passkey/begin Start Passkey login
POST /api/auth/logout Invalidate session
GET /api/auth/me Get current user info
GET /api/players/search?q=name Search player roster
GET /api/dsgvo/export?playerId=xyz Export player data (DSGVO)
POST /api/dsgvo/delete Delete player data
POST /api/ingest Shared hosting ingestion

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 .rpt files 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=true to 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)

  • Workers: Background decryption (non-blocking UI)

Key Components

📄 App.tsx - Main Dashboard

Features:

  • Real-time WebSocket connection to Gateway
  • Live telemetry (FPS, player count) - always visible
  • Encrypted log stream - only visible when vault unlocked
  • DSGVO 1-click export
  • Sidebar navigation (placeholder)

State:

  • isLocked: Vault lock state (can decrypt?)
  • isAuthenticated: User logged in?
  • logs: Decrypted log events
  • telemetry: Server metrics

📄 LoginV2.tsx - Dual Authentication

Features:

  • Tab switcher: Password ↔ Passkey
  • Browser WebAuthn support detection
  • Auto-fallback to password if Passkey unsupported
  • JWT token storage in localStorage
  • Error handling with contextual messages

UX:

  • Premium dark theme
  • Loading states with spinners
  • Security badges (E2EE, DSGVO, FIDO2)

📄 Register.tsx - Account Creation

Features:

  • Dual registration: Password OR Passkey
  • Real-time password strength meter (Weak → Very Strong)
  • Password confirmation validation
  • Optional community name (auto-generated from username)
  • WebAuthn credential creation flow

Password Requirements:

  • Min 12 characters

  • Visual strength indicator

📄 VaultContext.tsx - Global State

Provides:

{
  isLocked: boolean          // Can decrypt logs?
  isAuthenticated: boolean   // User logged in?
  communityId: string | null // Current community
  unlock: (key, communityId) => void
  lock: () => void
  decrypt: (data) => Promise<string>
}

Security:

📄 lib/webauthn.ts - WebAuthn Client

Functions:

registerWebAuthn(username, displayName, email)
authenticateWebAuthn(username)
isWebAuthnSupported(): boolean

Flow:

  1. Request challenge from backend
  2. Call navigator.credentials.create() or .get()
  3. Send credential to backend for verification
  4. Receive JWT token + master key

📄 workers/crypto.worker.ts - Background Decryption

Purpose:

  • Decrypt logs in separate thread
  • Prevents UI freezing on large datasets
  • Returns decrypted JSON to main thread

Communication:

// Main thread
worker.postMessage({ type: 'SET_KEY', payload: masterKey })
worker.postMessage({ type: 'DECRYPT', payload: encryptedData })

// Worker thread
self.onmessage = (e) => {
  if (e.data.type === 'DECRYPT') {
    const decrypted = await crypto.subtle.decrypt(...)
    self.postMessage({ type: 'DECRYPTED', payload: decrypted })
  }
}

🔐 Security Architecture

Zero-Knowledge Guarantee

  1. Master Key Generation: Created on customer's server, never sent to provider unencrypted
  2. Client-Side Encryption: Worker encrypts logs BEFORE upload
  3. Blind Index: Provider can search without decrypting (HMAC hashes)
  4. Volatile Storage: Frontend stores key ONLY in RAM (Web Worker)
  5. Auto-Lock: Page reload destroys key

Authentication Methods

  • Algorithm: Argon2id (winner of Password Hashing Competition 2015)
  • Parameters:
    • Time: 3 iterations
    • Memory: 64 MB

    • Output: 32 bytes
  • Salt: 16 random bytes per password
  • Format: $argon2id$v=19$m=65536,t=3,p=4$salt$hash

Passkey (WebAuthn FIDO2)

  • Authenticators: YubiKey, Windows Hello, FaceID, TouchID
  • Algorithm: ES256 (ECDSA with P-256 curve)
  • Attestation: None (privacy-preserving)
  • User Verification: Required
  • Resident Key: Not required (username-first flow)

JWT Tokens

  • Algorithm: HMAC-SHA256
  • Expiry: 7 days (configurable)
  • Claims: UserID, CommunityID, Username, IssuedAt, ExpiresAt
