MessageImage has no stored original filename, so this relies on a bare `download` attribute (no explicit filename) rather than adding filename support server-side to match the file-attachment pattern -- the image-serving response's existing Content-Type header is already enough for the browser to infer a sensible extension on its own. RoomInfoPanel's Files section reuses the same shared ImageLightbox component, so its image rows get the same download button for free with no separate change needed there.

DS Chat
A web-based team chat service (Mattermost-style, no threaded conversations), invite-only. See ARCHITECTURE.md for the full system design and phased build plan.
Phase 1: auth, open-room CRUD, and single-instance WebSocket chat, backend
- a minimal frontend. Phase 2: private rooms, room roles (owner/admin/ member), and room invites — backend only, see below. Later phases (push notifications, Redis fan-out, the admin portal, the bot/extension system, and production deployment) are tracked as issues in the repo's issue tracker, prioritized.
Structure
backend/— FastAPI + SQLAlchemy 2.0 (async) + PostgreSQL. Seebackend/README.mdfor local setup, migrations, how to create a user (site registration is invite-only — no public sign-up endpoint), and the Phase 2 room-roles/invites API.frontend/— React + Vite PWA (login, room list, chat view). Still Phase-1-only: it doesn't yet call any of the Phase 2 endpoints. A UI redesign is happening separately; frontend work resumes once that lands.
Quickstart
# 1. Postgres (see backend/README.md for details)
docker run -d --name ds-chat-postgres \
-e POSTGRES_USER=ds_chat -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=ds_chat -e POSTGRES_DB=ds_chat \
-p 5432:5432 postgres:16-alpine
# 2. Backend
cd backend
python3 -m venv .venv
.venv/bin/pip install -e ".[dev]"
cp .env.example .env # then set SESSION_SECRET
.venv/bin/alembic upgrade head
.venv/bin/python -m app.cli create-user alice alice@example.com "some-password"
.venv/bin/uvicorn app.main:app --reload &
# 3. Frontend (in another shell)
cd frontend
npm install
npm run dev
Then open http://localhost:5173 and log in with the account created above.
The Vite dev server proxies /api and /ws to the backend on :8000, so no
CORS configuration is needed in development.
Deployment
See DEPLOYMENT.md for the full production runbook — two Debian 13 servers, no containers, matching ARCHITECTURE.md §9.
