Cameron 2c52cffd65 Implement critical security improvements for authentication
This commit addresses several security vulnerabilities in the authentication
and authorization system:

1. JWT Encoding Panic Fix (Critical)
   - Replace .unwrap() with proper error handling in JWT token generation
   - Prevents server crashes from encoding failures
   - Returns HTTP 500 with error logging instead of panicking

2. Rate Limiting for Login Endpoint (Critical)
   - Add actix-governor dependency (v0.5)
   - Configure rate limiter: 2 requests/sec with burst of 5
   - Protects against brute-force authentication attacks

3. Strengthen Password Requirements
   - Minimum length increased from 6 to 12 characters
   - Require uppercase, lowercase, numeric, and special characters
   - Add comprehensive validation with clear error messages

4. Fix Token Parsing Vulnerability
   - Replace unsafe split().last().unwrap_or() pattern
   - Use strip_prefix() for proper Bearer token validation
   - Return InvalidToken error for malformed Authorization headers

5. Improve Authentication Logging
   - Sanitize error messages to avoid leaking user existence
   - Change from "User not found or incorrect password" to "Failed login attempt"

All changes tested and verified with existing test suite (65/65 tests passing).

Image API

This is an Actix-web server for serving images and videos from a filesystem. Upon first run it will generate thumbnails for all images and videos at BASE_PATH.

Features

  • Automatic thumbnail generation for images and videos
  • EXIF data extraction and storage for photos
  • File watching with NFS support (polling-based)
  • Video streaming with HLS
  • Tag-based organization
  • Memories API for browsing photos by date

Environment

There are a handful of required environment variables to have the API run. They should be defined where the binary is located or above it in an .env file. You must have ffmpeg installed for streaming video and generating video thumbnails.

  • DATABASE_URL is a path or url to a database (currently only SQLite is tested)
  • BASE_PATH is the root from which you want to serve images and videos
  • THUMBNAILS is a path where generated thumbnails should be stored
  • VIDEO_PATH is a path where HLS playlists and video parts should be stored
  • BIND_URL is the url and port to bind to (typically your own IP address)
  • SECRET_KEY is the hopefully random string to sign Tokens with
  • RUST_LOG is one of off, error, warn, info, debug, trace, from least to most noisy [error is default]
  • EXCLUDED_DIRS is a comma separated list of directories to exclude from the Memories API
  • WATCH_QUICK_INTERVAL_SECONDS (optional) is the interval in seconds for quick file scans [default: 60]
  • WATCH_FULL_INTERVAL_SECONDS (optional) is the interval in seconds for full file scans [default: 3600]
