TODO

• scape strings before executing scripts in order to prevent exploits: django templates automatically scapes things. Most important is to ensuer that all escape ' to &quot

• Optimize SSH: pool, UseDNS no

• Don't store passwords and other service parameters that can be changed by the services i.e. mailman, vps etc. Find an execution mechanism that trigger change_password()

• abort transaction on orchestration when state == TIMEOUT ?

• filter and other user.is_main refactoring

• use format_html_join for orchestration email alerts

• generic form for change and display passwords and crack change password form

• enforce an emergency email contact and account to contact contacts about problems when mailserver is down

• add BackendLog retry action

• move invoice contact to invoices app?

• wrapper around reverse('admin:....') link() and link_factory()

• PHPbBckendMiixin with get_php_ini

• Apache: IncludeOptional /etc/apache2/extra-vhos[t]/account-site-custom.con[f]

• rename account.user to primary_user

• webmail identities and addresses

• cached -> cached_property

• user.roles.mailbox its awful when combined with addresses:

  • address.mailboxes filter by account is crap in admin and api
  • address.mailboxes api needs a mailbox object endpoint (not nested user)
  • Its not intuitive, users expect to create mailboxes, not users!
  • Mailbox is something tangible, not a role!

• System user vs virtual user:

  • system user automatically hast @domain.com address :(

• use Code: https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/forms/forms.py#L415 for domain.refresh_serial()

• Permissions .filter_queryset()

• git deploy in addition to FTP?

• env vars instead of multiple settings files: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/config-vars ?

• optional chroot shell?

• make sure prefetch_related() is used correctly Remember that, as always with QuerySets, any subsequent chained methods which imply a different database query will ignore previously cached results, and retrieve data using a fresh database query.

• profile select_related vs prefetch_related

• use HTTP OPTIONS instead of configuration endpoint, or rename to settings?

• Log changes from rest api (serialized objects)

• passlib; nano /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/passlib/ext/django/utils.py SortedDict -> collections.OrderedDict

• pip install pyinotify

• create custom field that returns backend python objects

• Timezone awareness on monitoring system (reading server-side logs with different TZ than orchestra) maybe a settings value? (use UTC internally, timezone.localtime() when interacting with servers)

• Resource metric: KB MB B?

• EMAIL backend operations which contain stderr messages (because under certain failures status code is still 0)
