🌐 Web Dashboard

Shifter ships with a lightweight dashboard that mirrors the CLI capabilities.

• 📁 Templates live inside the package (shifter/web/templates) so deployments don't rely on external assets
• 🔐 Sessions are backed by encrypted cookies
• 🔑 Set AIOHTTP_SECRET_KEY in the environment to supply a persistent key across restarts

📦 Packaged Templates

Installer commands render configuration templates that are bundled with the package:

• 🔧 gost.service for systemd
• ⚙️ haproxy.cfg with placeholder tokens
• 📄 config.json base configuration for Xray

Use importlib.resources helpers in shifter.services.config if you need custom automation that reuses these bundled files.

🛠️ Development

# 📦 Install runtime dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# 🔧 Install the project in editable mode
pip install -e .

# 🚀 Optional: run the CLI locally
sudo python -m shifter status

We recommend developing inside a virtual environment to isolate dependencies.
