A web-based HMI (Human-Machine Interface) for monitoring and controlling EPICS-based scientific and industrial control systems.
uopi runs as a single portable binary. Access it from any browser — including over an SSH tunnel — with no client-side installation required.
uopi runs as a **single portable binary** with no runtime dependencies. Point any browser at it — including over an SSH tunnel — and you get a full drag-and-drop HMI builder and live data viewer.
---
## Features
- **Live data** from EPICS (Channel Access / PVAccess) and user-defined synthetic signals
- **Web-based HMI editor** — drag-and-drop widgets, resize, align, undo/redo — saved as XML
- **Rich widget library** — gauges, LEDs, bars, plots (time series, FFT, waterfall, histogram), controls
- **Multiple concurrent clients** sharing the same data subscriptions
- **Historical data** navigation via EPICS Archive Appliance integration
- **Synthetic signals** — compose, filter, and transform existing signals with a DSP pipeline or Lua scripts
- **Single binary** with embedded frontend; no runtime dependencies
| Feature | Details |
|---------|---------|
| **Live data** | EPICS Channel Access (CA) and user-defined synthetic signals |
| **HMI editor** | Drag-and-drop widgets, resize, align/distribute, undo/redo, saved as XML |
| **Widget library** | Text view, gauge, LED, bar, set-point control, button, plots |
| **Plot types** | Time-series (uPlot), FFT, waterfall, histogram, bar chart, logic analyser |
| **Historical data** | EPICS Archive Appliance integration via REST; time range picker in UI |
| **Synthetic signals** | Compose, filter, and transform signals with a DSP pipeline (gain, offset, moving average, lowpass, highpass, derivative, integral, clamp, formula) |
| **Multi-client** | Subscriptions are multiplexed — N clients share one upstream connection per signal |
| **Signal discovery** | Filter/search, CSV import, manual add, Channel Finder proxy |
| **Observability** | Prometheus-format metrics at `/metrics` |
| **Single binary** | Frontend assets embedded at build time — no web server needed |

## Configuration
Create `uopi.toml` (or copy and edit the example):
Create `uopi.toml` (all fields are optional — shown values are defaults):
```toml
[server]
listen = ":8080"
storage_dir = "./interfaces" # where interface XML files are stored
listen = ":8080"
storage_dir = "./data" # where interface XML files and synthetic.json are stored
[datasource.epics]

```

## Building with EPICS Support
The EPICS data source uses CGo bindings to `libca`. First set up the EPICS environment variables, then:
```bash
export EPICS_BASE=/path/to/epics/base
export CGO_CFLAGS="-I$EPICS_BASE/include -I$EPICS_BASE/include/os/Linux"
export CGO_LDFLAGS="-L$EPICS_BASE/lib/linux-x86_64 -lca -lCom"
make backend-epics
```
Then enable it in `uopi.toml`:
```toml
[datasource.epics]
enabled = true
```

## API
The REST API is available under `/api/v1`. Key endpoints:
| Method | Path | Description |
|--------|------|-------------|
| `GET` | `/api/v1/datasources` | List registered data sources |
| `GET` | `/api/v1/signals?ds=<name>` | List signals for a data source |
| `GET` | `/api/v1/signals/search?q=<query>` | Search signals across all sources |
| `GET` | `/api/v1/channel-finder?q=<query>` | Proxy to EPICS Channel Finder |
| `GET/POST` | `/api/v1/interfaces` | List or create HMI interfaces |
| `GET/PUT/DELETE` | `/api/v1/interfaces/{id}` | Read, update, or delete an interface |
| `POST` | `/api/v1/interfaces/{id}/clone` | Duplicate an interface |
| `GET/POST/DELETE` | `/api/v1/synthetic` | Manage synthetic signal definitions |
| `GET` | `/metrics` | Prometheus-format server metrics |
| `GET` | `/healthz` | Health check |
WebSocket live data is at `ws://<host>/ws`. See [`docs/TECHNICAL_SPEC.md`](docs/TECHNICAL_SPEC.md) for the message protocol.

## Development
See [`docs/TECHNICAL_SPEC.md`](docs/TECHNICAL_SPEC.md) for full architecture details.
```bash
# Backend only (with stub data source)
# Build frontend only (output → web/dist/)
make frontend
# Build backend only (frontend must already be built)
make backend
# Run the server directly without a binary (uses stub data source)
go run ./cmd/uopi
# Frontend dev server (proxies /api to backend at :8080)
cd web && npm install && npm run dev
# Run backend tests
go test ./...
# Run a single backend test
go test ./internal/broker/... -run TestFanOut
# Frontend type-check
cd web && npm run check
# Frontend lint
cd web && npm run lint
# Full build (frontend + backend)
make all
# Run all tests
make test
# Run tests with race detector
make race
# Run benchmarks
make bench
# Static analysis
make lint
# Clean build artefacts
make clean
```
---
## Observability
The `/metrics` endpoint exposes Prometheus-format counters and gauges:
```
uopi_uptime_seconds — seconds since start
uopi_ws_connections — current open WebSocket connections
uopi_signal_subscriptions — current unique upstream signal subscriptions
uopi_ws_messages_in_total — total messages received from clients
uopi_ws_messages_out_total — total messages sent to clients
uopi_write_ops_total — total signal write operations
uopi_history_requests_total — total historical data requests
```

## Release
Releases are built with [goreleaser](https://goreleaser.com/):
```bash
goreleaser release --clean
```
See [`.goreleaser.yaml`](.goreleaser.yaml). Note that release binaries are built **without** EPICS support (`CGO_ENABLED=0`) for maximum portability. Build from source with `-tags epics` for CA connectivity.
