on GitHub

🎉 What's New

🔒 Fail2ban Integration

Apache-style Access Logging (#265) - Protect your MeshMonitor instance from brute-force attacks!

• Apache Combined Log Format via Morgan middleware
• Automatic daily log rotation (14-day retention, gzip compression)
• Optional feature (disabled by default for performance)
• Comprehensive fail2ban setup guide
• AbuseIPDB integration support
• Environment variables: ACCESS_LOG_ENABLED, ACCESS_LOG_PATH, ACCESS_LOG_FORMAT

Benefits:

• Automatic IP banning after failed login attempts
• Real-time threat reporting to AbuseIPDB
• Standards-compliant Apache log format
• Docker-friendly with separate bind mount

🐛 Bug Fixes

Mobile Text Truncation (#266) - Fixes #251

Improved text truncation for long node names on iPhone 13 Pro and other mobile devices

The previous fix didn't fully work because:

• Flexbox children need min-width: 0 to properly truncate
• Star button and role badge were interfering with truncation

Changes:

• Node names now properly truncate with ellipsis (...) on mobile
• Dashboard chart titles correctly truncate instead of being clipped
• Works across all screen sizes, especially beneficial for iPhone users
• Browser tooltips show full name on hover

Technical: Added min-width: 0 to enable flexbox text truncation and wrapped node name content in dedicated .node-name-text span.

• Added troubleshooting section for map tiles not loading behind reverse proxies
• Documented NODE_ENV=production requirement for proper CSP headers
• Updated all Docker Compose examples with correct environment variables

Fixed Dead Links (#267)

• Corrected VitePress internal links in fail2ban documentation
• Added automated docs build validation to PR workflow
• Future documentation PRs will be validated before merging

📦 Dependencies
