Backend

Introduction to the backend#

The backend is essentially just an account server. It handles user accounts, syncing, and other account related features.

I recommend using the official-backend!

Metrics#

The backend exposes an endpoint for Prometheus metrics which allows you to keep track of the backend more easily, it can be accessed on /metrics. Ex: https://server.fifthwit.net/metrics

To view these metrics properly, you can use the P-Stream Metrics Dash.

This dash is not functioning properly right now. It does work but certain information can be wrong or outdated. This will be fixed soon

Security#

Optionally, is a security setting:

  • Recaptcha support, the server can verify Recaptcha v3 tokens on register and login.
