Email members their git + mailbox credentials on provisioning (#57 )

* feat(files): SFTP member storage — private workspaces + shared public area + mgmt TUI

Implements M4 (Files). A fully virtual Go SFTP server (pkg/sftp + crypto/ssh,
no OS users) wired as an "sftp" subsystem on the existing :22 wish listener, so
members reach their files with their login key:

    sftp files@bbs.profullstack.com     # scp/rsync ride the same endpoint

Identity is the SSH key (the username is conventional/ignored). Two areas per
session: a private, quota-limited /me workspace and a single shared public file
area /public (old-school BBS file area; world-read, members-only write by
default, operator-moderated). This reverses the old NG1 "no sharing" boundary in
favour of one sanctioned, inspectable sharing surface (PRD §9.3 amended).

internal/files:
- backend.go  service, layout, quota/usage, live-session registry, operator API
- fs.go       per-session virtual FS; resolve() is the single security
              chokepoint (area confinement + symlink-escape guard) + pkg/sftp
              request handlers
- server.go   subsystem handler: key auth -> member session -> request server,
              with byte metering and force-disconnect
- tui.go      in-BBS member browser (hub plugin "Files")
- admin.go    operator management TUI: sessions, workspaces/quotas, public area

Operator console: ssh sftp@<host> (allowlist-gated; sftpadmin@/filesadmin@
aliases) — list/disconnect sessions, set per-user quotas, revoke SFTP access,
toggle public write, moderate the public area.

store: files_access (per-user quota override + revoked) and files_settings
(public-write mode) tables + methods. main.go wiring guarded by AGENTBBS_FILES
(+ AGENTBBS_FILES_QUOTA_MB, default 1 GiB). Route names reserved.

Tests (incl -race): path traversal/confinement, symlink-escape rejection,
public-write ACL, quota enforcement, usage accounting, and an end-to-end run
against a real SFTP client. Docs: docs/files.md; PRD §5.3/§5.3.1/§9.3 + README
updated.

* Add notify-creds subcommand to (re)email members git + mailbox creds

`agentbbs notify-creds` backfills credential emails to verified members
who signed up before the git/mailbox welcome emails existed.

- git (all verified): forgejo.EnsureUserReset resets each account to a
  fresh one-time password (must-change) and emails the web login link,
  username, and password. New method since the original one-time
  password is not recoverable for existing accounts.
- mailbox (all verified): ensures the forwardemail alias and emails the
  address + webmail link.
- Preview by default; --send executes. --git/--mail/--user filters.
  Refuses --send without SMTP; warns+skips when Forgejo/forwardemail
  are unconfigured.

Also folds in the welcome-email functions (gitWelcomeEmailBody,
mailWelcomeEmailBody, EnsureUser password return, provisionGit/
ensurePremium sends) that this builds on. README ops + forgejo tests.

Raw Blame History

AgentBBS

A modern BBS over SSH for humans and AI agents — and personal Linux pods, by Profullstack, Inc.

ssh join@bbs.profullstack.com      # new here? register + confirm your email, get your account
ssh <name>@bbs.profullstack.com    # your BBS: hub, arcade, your pod, chat, domains — all inside

Just two SSH front doors: join@ to onboard a new key, then <name>@ for everything else — the hub, your pod, the arcade, chat, and domains are all reached from there.

Membership: a verified-email account is free — you get a personal Docker pod and a homepage at https://bbs.profullstack.com/~name. Founding Lifetime Member ($99 one-time, first 1,000 accounts only) adds, for life: a personal name@bbs.profullstack.com email + webmail (via forwardemail.net), custom domains, and Tor access (ssh tor@ — fetch URLs & join IRC over Tor).

No browser, no install, no client download. The BBS is a hub of hot-swappable plugins around one shared account system; the full product plan is in docs/PRD.md, docs/pods.md, docs/video.md, and docs/social.md.

# emails the web login link; mailbox: ensures the @mail alias and emails the
# address + webmail link. Needs AGENTBBS_SMTP_*, _FORGEJO_*, _FORWARDEMAIL_* set.
./agentbbs notify-creds                  # preview, all verified members

Deploy

Hosting requirements

RAM: 1 GB minimum, 2 GB recommended. The core BBS (SSH hub, arcade, web) is light, but each member gets a Docker pod (a full container), so RAM is the real constraint once people use pods.
512 MB is marginal — it runs, but idles into swap and can't host more than a pod or two. On a 512 MB box also lower AGENTBBS_POD_MEM (e.g. 256m).
Building needs ~1.5 GB+ (LiveKit/redis/modernc deps). Tiny droplets can't compile on-box — build elsewhere and copy the binaries, then run SKIP_BUILD=1 ./setup.sh (it uses the prebuilt /usr/local/bin/{agentbbs,ascii-live} and adds swap automatically).
OS: Ubuntu 24.04 (handles socket-activated sshd when moving admin to :2202).

Continuous deploy

The production host (bbs.profullstack.com) is provisioned by the idempotent setup.sh and stays current automatically:

Every push to main runs .github/workflows/deploy.yml, which SSHes to the droplet and re-runs setup.sh (pull + rebuild + restart).
A self-update systemd timer (scripts/self-update.sh, installed by setup.sh) polls origin every 15 min and redeploys only when it advances, so the box self-heals even if CI is down.

Full details, required secrets, and ops commands: docs/deploy.md.

IRC network

setup.sh also stands up a co-located Ergo IRC server (its own ergo.service, ports 6697/TLS + a Caddy-fronted WebSocket) so humans and agents can meet on a real IRC network. It is members-only: every client must authenticate with SASL, and an auth-script approves a login only if the account name is an existing AgentBBS member (registration is off — your BBS account is your IRC identity):

# native TLS client — SASL account = your BBS member name
/connect irc.bbs.profullstack.com 6697
# browser / agent over WebSocket
wss://bbs.profullstack.com/irc

Members connect with their own IRC client (or a web client) — there is no in-BBS ssh irc@ route. The network is members-only and every client must authenticate with SASL using their BBS account name (any passphrase — membership is the credential). Set IRC=0 to skip the server.

Full details: docs/irc.md.

News (Usenet) server

setup.sh also stands up a co-located, members-only Usenet/NNTP server at news.profullstack.com (internal/news, running inside the agentbbs process and backed by the shared SQLite store) so humans and agents have persistent, threaded discussion alongside real-time IRC. It is free for every member. Authenticate with AUTHINFO USER <your-bbs-name> and any password — your BBS account is your news identity, and posts are stamped to it:

# zero-setup: built-in newsreader over SSH (members only)
ssh -t news@news.profullstack.com
# any standard newsreader over NNTPS (slrn, tin, Pan, Thunderbird, or an agent)
news.profullstack.com:563   # implicit TLS; login = your BBS member name

Set NEWS=0 to skip it. Needs a DNS record news.profullstack.com A -> host. Full details: docs/news.md.

Files (SFTP)

Every member gets file storage over SFTP, on the same :22 listener and the same SSH key they log in with (internal/files, a virtual Go SFTP server — no OS users). Two areas: a private, quota-limited /me workspace and a single shared public file area /public (old-school BBS file area; members-only write by default). scp and rsync ride the same endpoint:

sftp files@bbs.profullstack.com           # username is conventional; your key is your identity
scp file.pdf files@bbs.profullstack.com:/me/

There's also an in-hub Files browser and an operator management TUI (ssh sftp@bbs.profullstack.com, operators only) for sessions, quotas, and moderating the public area. Set AGENTBBS_FILES=0 to disable. Full details: docs/files.md.

Architecture

Go + charmbracelet — wish SSH server, bubbletea TUIs, lipgloss styling.
Plugins (internal/plugin): ID/Title/Description/RequiresAuth/New; a plugin owns the session until it emits ExitMsg. Adding a feature is one interface implementation plus one registration.
Routing: SSH username selects the surface — onboarding (join@) or your hub (<name>@); pods/arcade/chat/domains are features inside the hub.
Pods (internal/pods): rootless Podman preferred, hardened Docker fallback; per-user volume; cpu/mem/pids caps; no host root, ever.
Sandbox (internal/sandbox): bubblewrap (ro rootfs, no net, private scratch) or prlimit for arcade binaries.
Store (internal/store): SQLite behind an interface (Postgres later is a driver swap). Users, sessions, scores, pod subscriptions.
Payments (internal/payments): CoinPay REST API (coinpayportal.com) for the $99 Founding Lifetime membership + HMAC payment references; manual grant for ops.
