# GuruRMM Session Log: 2026-01-21
|
||||
|
||||
**Project:** GuruRMM - Remote Monitoring & Management System
|
||||
**Duration:** ~2 hours
|
||||
**Focus:** Dashboard UI Redesign + Production Fixes
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Session Summary
|
||||
|
||||
### What Was Accomplished
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Fixed 500 Error on Dashboard**
|
||||
- Nginx config pointed to wrong path (`/var/www/gururmm/dashboard/dist` instead of `/var/www/gururmm/dashboard`)
|
||||
- Fixed by updating nginx config and reloading
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Diagnosed Network Error on Login**
|
||||
- Dashboard hardcoded to `https://rmm-api.azcomputerguru.com` for API calls
|
||||
- Users accessing via `http://172.16.3.30` got cross-origin errors
|
||||
- Solution: Access via domain `https://rmm-api.azcomputerguru.com/`
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Complete Dashboard UI Redesign - "Mission Control" Aesthetic**
|
||||
- Transformed generic template design into distinctive command center theme
|
||||
- Dark navy theme with cyan/teal accents
|
||||
- Glassmorphism cards with backdrop blur
|
||||
- JetBrains Mono + Inter typography
|
||||
- Animated stat cards, status pulses, entrance animations
|
||||
- Grid pattern backgrounds with radial glow effects
|
||||
|
||||
### Key Decisions Made
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Dark Theme as Default**
|
||||
- Rationale: RMM tools are monitoring dashboards, dark theme reduces eye strain
|
||||
- Color palette: Navy (#0a0e1a) base, cyan (#06b6d4) primary accent
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Monospace Typography for Data**
|
||||
- Rationale: Technical/command center aesthetic appropriate for RMM tool
|
||||
- JetBrains Mono for headings/data, Inter for body text
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Glassmorphism Card Style**
|
||||
- Rationale: Modern, distinctive, creates depth without being distracting
|
||||
- Semi-transparent backgrounds with backdrop-blur
|
||||
|
||||
### Problems Encountered and Solutions
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem 1: 500 Error on Dashboard**
|
||||
- Error: `rewrite or internal redirection cycle while internally redirecting to "/index.html"`
|
||||
- Cause: Nginx root pointed to non-existent `/dist` subdirectory
|
||||
- Fix: `sed -i 's|/var/www/gururmm/dashboard/dist|/var/www/gururmm/dashboard|'`
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem 2: Network Error on Login**
|
||||
- Error: Browser CORS blocking API calls
|
||||
- Cause: Dashboard loaded from `http://172.16.3.30`, API calls to `https://rmm-api.azcomputerguru.com`
|
||||
- Fix: Access dashboard via domain (same origin)
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem 3: TypeScript Build Error**
|
||||
- Error: `'CheckCircle' is declared but its value is never read`
|
||||
- Cause: Unused import in redesigned Dashboard.tsx
|
||||
- Fix: Removed unused import
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem 4: CSS @import Warning**
|
||||
- Warning: `@import rules must precede all rules aside from @charset and @layer`
|
||||
- Cause: Google Fonts import came after Tailwind import
|
||||
- Fix: Moved font import to top of index.css
|
