Introduction System Architecture The landing page consists of these parts: Reverse Proxy (Nginx): Acts as the entry point. It handles SSL termination and routes traffic to the Vue.js static files or the Spring Boot API. Frontend (Vue.js): A Single Page Application (SPA) that handles the UI and user interactions. Backend (Spring Boot): The RESTful API that handles business logic, database transactions, and security checks. Database (PostgreSQL): Persistent storage for news, team members, and configuration. Containerization (Docker): Everything is wrapped in Docker containers Which is easier to understand with following diagram: Admin Dashboard Our system implements a two-tier auth system to log in. The Super User: One hard-coded or environment-variable-based account used for initial setup or emergency access. Google OAuth 2.0: The Whitelist: Access isn't open to any Google account. Only emails ending with @roboteamtwente.nl are permitted. Logic: When a user logs in, the backend checks if the returned Google email exists in the authorized list. If it’s not there, the Spring Boot Security filter returns a 403 Forbidden . *Adding new users to authorized list: while everyone is technically allowed to login if they are have a @roboteamtwente.nl email, you still have to add them to website's whitelist. It is done in "User Managing" tab on admin's dashboard. It is possible to have a user listed, though deactivated, for book keeping reasons. Admin Panel & Content Management The website isn't just a static landing page; it’s a dynamic CMS. Almost all pages hold content that you are able to edit and manage through the admin panel.
