Project OOTT

OOTT is an easy to setup network monitoring and alert system aimed at notifying when new or unknown devices join a local area network.

It has two major components:

A backend service that runs the monitoring and other processes and provides a REST API. This is built with Rust.
A front-end that enables the user to configure the system and access the data it stores. This is built with Flutter - a front-end framework based on the Dart language.

Code style

For Rust code:

For Flutter/Dart code:

All backend source code is under the backend/ folder
All front-end source code is under the frontend/ folder
All interactions between the front-end and the backend are via the backend REST API

System state and events are stored in a SQLite database (oott.db by default) which is accessed and managed exclusively by the backend via a data access layer (db.rs and files under the backend/src/db/ folder)
Database structure is handled through incremental migrations (stored under the backend/database_migrations folder). Each set of structural changes should be a new database migration file.
The backend's entry point is src/main.rs which starts two threads using the Tokyo framework: one for the network scanning process and another one for the web server that exposes the API and hosts the Flutter app (front-end) assets when deployed in a live environment (ie not development)

The front-end's entry point is lib/main.dart
It uses the Material 3 framework for Flutter
The application needs to be responsive and adapt to a web experience in the desktop, tablets and phones
The application is also available in iOS and Android as a native experience (via de App Store and Play store)
