# Connection Retry Logic Documentation
This document explains the connection retry and network interruption handling features in Talk2Me.
## Overview
Talk2Me implements robust connection retry logic to handle network interruptions gracefully. When a connection is lost or a request fails due to network issues, the application automatically queues requests and retries them when the connection is restored.
## Features
### 1. Automatic Connection Monitoring
- Monitors browser online/offline events
- Periodic health checks to the server (every 5 seconds when offline)
- Visual connection status indicator
- Automatic detection when returning from sleep/hibernation
### 2. Request Queuing
- Failed requests are automatically queued during network interruptions
- Requests maintain their priority and are processed in order
- Queue persists across connection failures
- Visual indication of queued requests
### 3. Exponential Backoff Retry
- Failed requests are retried with exponential backoff
- Initial retry delay: 1 second
- Maximum retry delay: 30 seconds
- Backoff multiplier: 2x
- Maximum retries: 3 attempts
### 4. Connection Status UI
- Real-time connection status indicator (bottom-right corner)
- Offline banner with retry button
- Queue status showing pending requests by type
- Temporary status messages for important events
## User Experience
### When Connection is Lost
1. **Visual Indicators**:
- Connection status shows "Offline" or "Connection error"
- Red banner appears at top of screen
- Queued request count is displayed
2. **Request Handling**:
- New requests are automatically queued
- User sees "Connection error - queued" message
- Requests will be sent when connection returns
3. **Manual Retry**:
- Users can click "Retry" button in offline banner
- Forces immediate connection check
### When Connection is Restored
1. **Automatic Recovery**:
- Connection status changes to "Connecting..."
- Queued requests are processed automatically
- Success message shown briefly
2. **Request Processing**:
- Queued requests maintain their order
- Higher priority requests (transcription) processed first
- Progress indicators show processing status
## Configuration
The connection retry logic can be configured programmatically:
```javascript
// In app.ts or initialization code
connectionManager.configure({
maxRetries: 3, // Maximum retry attempts
initialDelay: 1000, // Initial retry delay (ms)
maxDelay: 30000, // Maximum retry delay (ms)
backoffMultiplier: 2, // Exponential backoff multiplier
timeout: 10000, // Request timeout (ms)
onlineCheckInterval: 5000 // Health check interval (ms)
});
```
## Request Priority
Requests are prioritized as follows:
1. **Transcription** (Priority: 8) - Highest priority
2. **Translation** (Priority: 5) - Normal priority
3. **TTS/Audio** (Priority: 3) - Lower priority
## Error Types
### Retryable Errors
- Network errors
- Connection timeouts
- Server errors (5xx)
- CORS errors (in some cases)
### Non-Retryable Errors
- Client errors (4xx)
- Authentication errors
- Rate limit errors
- Invalid request errors
## Best Practices
1. **For Users**:
- Wait for queued requests to complete before closing the app
- Use the manual retry button if automatic recovery fails
- Check the connection status indicator for current state
2. **For Developers**:
- All fetch requests should go through RequestQueueManager
- Use appropriate request priorities
- Handle both online and offline scenarios in UI
- Provide clear feedback about connection status
## Technical Implementation
### Key Components
1. **ConnectionManager** (`connectionManager.ts`):
- Monitors connection state
- Implements retry logic with exponential backoff
- Provides connection state subscriptions
2. **RequestQueueManager** (`requestQueue.ts`):
- Queues failed requests
- Integrates with ConnectionManager
- Handles request prioritization
3. **ConnectionUI** (`connectionUI.ts`):
- Displays connection status
- Shows offline banner
- Updates queue information
### Integration Example
```typescript
// Automatic integration through RequestQueueManager
const queue = RequestQueueManager.getInstance();
const data = await queue.enqueue<ResponseType>(
'translate', // Request type
async () => {
// Your fetch request
const response = await fetch('/api/translate', options);
return response.json();
},
5 // Priority (1-10, higher = more important)
);
```
## Troubleshooting
### Connection Not Detected
- Check browser permissions for network status
- Ensure health endpoint (/health) is accessible
- Verify no firewall/proxy blocking
### Requests Not Retrying
- Check browser console for errors
- Verify request type is retryable
- Check if max retries exceeded
### Queue Not Processing
- Manually trigger retry with button
- Check if requests are timing out
- Verify server is responding
## Future Enhancements
- Persistent queue storage (survive page refresh)
- Configurable retry strategies per request type
- Network speed detection and adaptation
- Progressive web app offline mode

# CORS Configuration Guide
This document explains how to configure Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) for the Talk2Me application.
## Overview
CORS is configured using Flask-CORS to enable secure cross-origin usage of the API endpoints. This allows the Talk2Me application to be embedded in other websites or accessed from different domains while maintaining security.
## Environment Variables
### `CORS_ORIGINS`
Controls which domains are allowed to access the API endpoints.
- **Default**: `*` (allows all origins - use only for development)
- **Production Example**: `https://yourdomain.com,https://app.yourdomain.com`
- **Format**: Comma-separated list of allowed origins
```bash
# Development (allows all origins)
export CORS_ORIGINS="*"
# Production (restrict to specific domains)
export CORS_ORIGINS="https://talk2me.example.com,https://app.example.com"
```
### `ADMIN_CORS_ORIGINS`
Controls which domains can access admin endpoints (more restrictive).
- **Default**: `http://localhost:*` (allows all localhost ports)
- **Production Example**: `https://admin.yourdomain.com`
- **Format**: Comma-separated list of allowed admin origins
```bash
# Development
export ADMIN_CORS_ORIGINS="http://localhost:*"
# Production
export ADMIN_CORS_ORIGINS="https://admin.talk2me.example.com"
```
## Configuration Details
The CORS configuration includes:
- **Allowed Methods**: GET, POST, OPTIONS
- **Allowed Headers**: Content-Type, Authorization, X-Requested-With, X-Admin-Token
- **Exposed Headers**: Content-Range, X-Content-Range
- **Credentials Support**: Enabled (supports cookies and authorization headers)
- **Max Age**: 3600 seconds (preflight requests cached for 1 hour)
## Endpoints
All endpoints have CORS enabled with the following configuration:
### Regular API Endpoints
- `/api/*`
- `/transcribe`
- `/translate`
- `/translate/stream`
- `/speak`
- `/get_audio/*`
- `/check_tts_server`
- `/update_tts_config`
- `/health/*`
### Admin Endpoints (More Restrictive)
- `/admin/*` - Uses `ADMIN_CORS_ORIGINS` instead of general `CORS_ORIGINS`
## Security Best Practices
1. **Never use `*` in production** - Always specify exact allowed origins
2. **Use HTTPS** - Always use HTTPS URLs in production CORS origins
3. **Separate admin origins** - Keep admin endpoints on a separate, more restrictive origin list
4. **Review regularly** - Periodically review and update allowed origins
## Example Configurations
### Local Development
```bash
export CORS_ORIGINS="*"
export ADMIN_CORS_ORIGINS="http://localhost:*"
```
### Staging Environment
```bash
export CORS_ORIGINS="https://staging.talk2me.com,https://staging-app.talk2me.com"
export ADMIN_CORS_ORIGINS="https://staging-admin.talk2me.com"
```
### Production Environment
```bash
export CORS_ORIGINS="https://talk2me.com,https://app.talk2me.com"
export ADMIN_CORS_ORIGINS="https://admin.talk2me.com"
```
### Mobile App Integration
```bash
# Include mobile app schemes if needed
export CORS_ORIGINS="https://talk2me.com,https://app.talk2me.com,capacitor://localhost,ionic://localhost"
```
## Testing CORS Configuration
You can test CORS configuration using curl:
```bash
# Test preflight request
curl -X OPTIONS https://your-api.com/api/transcribe \
-H "Origin: https://allowed-origin.com" \
-H "Access-Control-Request-Method: POST" \
-H "Access-Control-Request-Headers: Content-Type" \
-v
# Test actual request
curl -X POST https://your-api.com/api/transcribe \
-H "Origin: https://allowed-origin.com" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"test": "data"}' \
-v
```
## Troubleshooting
### CORS Errors in Browser Console
If you see CORS errors:
1. Check that the origin is included in `CORS_ORIGINS`
2. Ensure the URL protocol matches (http vs https)
3. Check for trailing slashes in origins
4. Verify environment variables are set correctly
### Common Issues
1. **"No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header"**
- Origin not in allowed list
- Check `CORS_ORIGINS` environment variable
2. **"CORS policy: The request client is not a secure context"**
- Using HTTP instead of HTTPS
- Update to use HTTPS in production
3. **"CORS policy: Credentials flag is true, but Access-Control-Allow-Credentials is not 'true'"**
- This should not occur with current configuration
- Check that `supports_credentials` is True in CORS config

},
"total_events": 29
}
```
## Usage Patterns
### 1. Logging Errors with Context
```python
from error_logger import log_exception
try:
# Some operation
process_audio(file)
except Exception as e:
log_exception(
e,
message="Failed to process audio",
user_id=user.id,
file_size=file.size,
file_type=file.content_type
)
```
### 2. Performance Monitoring
```python
from error_logger import log_performance
@log_performance('expensive_operation')
def process_large_file(file):
# This will automatically log execution time
return processed_data
```
### 3. Security Event Logging
```python
app.error_logger.log_security(
'unauthorized_access',
severity='warning',
ip=request.remote_addr,
attempted_resource='/admin',
user_agent=request.headers.get('User-Agent')
)
```
### 4. Request Context
```python
from error_logger import log_context
with log_context(user_id=user.id, feature='translation'):
# All logs within this context will include user_id and feature
translate_text(text)
```
## Log Analysis
### Finding Specific Errors
```bash
# Find all authentication errors
grep '"error_type":"AuthenticationError"' logs/errors.log | jq .
# Find errors from specific IP
grep '"ip":"192.168.1.100"' logs/errors.log | jq .
# Find errors in last hour
grep "$(date -u -d '1 hour ago' +%Y-%m-%dT%H)" logs/errors.log | jq .
```
### Performance Analysis
```bash
# Find slow requests (>2000ms)
jq 'select(.extra_fields.duration_ms > 2000)' logs/performance.log
# Calculate average response time for endpoint
jq 'select(.extra_fields.metric == "transcribe_audio") | .extra_fields.duration_ms' logs/performance.log | awk '{sum+=$1; count++} END {print sum/count}'
```
### Security Monitoring
```bash
# Count security events by type
jq '.extra_fields.event' logs/security.log | sort | uniq -c
# Find all blocked IPs
jq 'select(.extra_fields.blocked == true) | .extra_fields.ip' logs/security.log | sort -u
```
## Log Rotation
Logs are automatically rotated based on size or time:
- **Application/Error logs**: Rotate at 50MB, keep 10 backups
- **Access logs**: Daily rotation, keep 30 days
- **Performance logs**: Hourly rotation, keep 7 days
- **Security logs**: Rotate at 50MB, keep 10 backups
Rotated logs are named with numeric suffixes:
- `talk2me.log` (current)
- `talk2me.log.1` (most recent backup)
- `talk2me.log.2` (older backup)
- etc.
## Best Practices
### 1. Structured Logging
Always include relevant context:
```python
logger.info("User action completed", extra={
'extra_fields': {
'user_id': user.id,
'action': 'upload_audio',
'file_size': file.size,
'duration_ms': processing_time
}
})
```
### 2. Error Handling
Log errors at appropriate levels:
```python
try:
result = risky_operation()
except ValidationError as e:
logger.warning(f"Validation failed: {e}") # Expected errors
except Exception as e:
logger.error(f"Unexpected error: {e}", exc_info=True) # Unexpected errors
```
### 3. Performance Tracking
Track key operations:
```python
start = time.time()
result = expensive_operation()
duration = (time.time() - start) * 1000
app.error_logger.log_performance(
'expensive_operation',
value=duration,
input_size=len(data),
output_size=len(result)
)
```
### 4. Security Awareness
Log security-relevant events:
```python
if failed_attempts > 3:
app.error_logger.log_security(
'multiple_failed_attempts',
severity='warning',
ip=request.remote_addr,
attempts=failed_attempts
)
```
## Monitoring Integration
### Prometheus Metrics
Export log metrics for Prometheus:
```python
@app.route('/metrics')
def prometheus_metrics():
error_summary = app.error_logger.get_error_summary()
# Format as Prometheus metrics
return format_prometheus_metrics(error_summary)
```
### ELK Stack
Ship logs to Elasticsearch:
```yaml
filebeat.inputs:
- type: log
paths:
- /app/logs/*.log
json.keys_under_root: true
json.add_error_key: true
```
### CloudWatch
For AWS deployments:
```python
# Install boto3 and watchtower
import watchtower
cloudwatch_handler = watchtower.CloudWatchLogHandler()
logger.addHandler(cloudwatch_handler)
```
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
#### 1. Logs Not Being Written
Check permissions:
```bash
ls -la logs/
# Should show write permissions for app user
```
Create logs directory:
```bash
mkdir -p logs
chmod 755 logs
```
#### 2. Disk Space Issues
Monitor log sizes:
```bash
du -sh logs/*
```
Force rotation:
```bash
# Manually rotate logs
mv logs/talk2me.log logs/talk2me.log.backup
# App will create new log file
```
#### 3. Performance Impact
If logging impacts performance:
- Increase LOG_LEVEL to WARNING or ERROR
- Reduce backup count
- Use asynchronous logging (future enhancement)
## Security Considerations
1. **Log Sanitization**: Sensitive data is automatically masked
2. **Access Control**: Admin endpoints require authentication
3. **Log Retention**: Old logs are automatically deleted
4. **Encryption**: Consider encrypting logs at rest in production
5. **Audit Trail**: All log access is itself logged
## Future Enhancements
1. **Centralized Logging**: Ship logs to centralized service
2. **Real-time Alerts**: Trigger alerts on error patterns
3. **Log Analytics**: Built-in log analysis dashboard
4. **Correlation IDs**: Track requests across microservices
5. **Async Logging**: Reduce performance impact

# Memory Management Documentation
This document describes the comprehensive memory management system implemented in Talk2Me to prevent memory leaks and crashes after extended use.
## Overview
Talk2Me implements a dual-layer memory management system:
1. **Backend (Python)**: Manages GPU memory, Whisper model, and temporary files
2. **Frontend (JavaScript)**: Manages audio blobs, object URLs, and Web Audio contexts
## Memory Leak Issues Addressed
### Backend Memory Leaks
1. **GPU Memory Fragmentation**
- Whisper model accumulates GPU memory over time
- Solution: Periodic GPU cache clearing and model reloading
2. **Temporary File Accumulation**
- Audio files not cleaned up quickly enough under load
- Solution: Aggressive cleanup with tracking and periodic sweeps
3. **Session Resource Leaks**
- Long-lived sessions accumulate resources
- Solution: Integration with session manager for resource limits
### Frontend Memory Leaks
1. **Audio Blob Leaks**
- MediaRecorder chunks kept in memory
- Solution: SafeMediaRecorder wrapper with automatic cleanup
2. **Object URL Leaks**
- URLs created but not revoked
- Solution: Centralized tracking and automatic revocation
3. **AudioContext Leaks**
- Contexts created but never closed
- Solution: MemoryManager tracks and closes contexts
4. **MediaStream Leaks**
- Microphone streams not properly stopped
- Solution: Automatic track stopping and stream cleanup
## Backend Memory Management
### MemoryManager Class
The `MemoryManager` monitors and manages memory usage:
```python
memory_manager = MemoryManager(app, {
'memory_threshold_mb': 4096, # 4GB process memory limit
'gpu_memory_threshold_mb': 2048, # 2GB GPU memory limit
'cleanup_interval': 30 # Check every 30 seconds
})
```
### Features
1. **Automatic Monitoring**
- Background thread checks memory usage
- Triggers cleanup when thresholds exceeded
- Logs statistics every 5 minutes
2. **GPU Memory Management**
- Clears CUDA cache after each operation
- Reloads Whisper model if fragmentation detected
- Tracks reload count and timing
3. **Temporary File Cleanup**
- Tracks all temporary files
- Age-based cleanup (5 minutes normal, 1 minute aggressive)
- Cleanup on process exit
4. **Context Managers**
```python
with AudioProcessingContext(memory_manager) as ctx:
# Process audio
ctx.add_temp_file(temp_path)
# Files automatically cleaned up
```
### Admin Endpoints
- `GET /admin/memory` - View current memory statistics
- `POST /admin/memory/cleanup` - Trigger manual cleanup
## Frontend Memory Management
### MemoryManager Class
Centralized tracking of all browser resources:
```typescript
const memoryManager = MemoryManager.getInstance();
// Register resources
memoryManager.registerAudioContext(context);
memoryManager.registerObjectURL(url);
memoryManager.registerMediaStream(stream);
```
### SafeMediaRecorder
Wrapper for MediaRecorder with automatic cleanup:
```typescript
const recorder = new SafeMediaRecorder();
await recorder.start(constraints);
// Recording...
const blob = await recorder.stop(); // Automatically cleans up
```
### AudioBlobHandler
Safe handling of audio blobs and object URLs:
```typescript
const handler = new AudioBlobHandler(blob);
const url = handler.getObjectURL(); // Tracked automatically
// Use URL...
handler.cleanup(); // Revokes URL and clears references
```
## Memory Thresholds
### Backend Thresholds
| Resource | Default Limit | Configurable Via |
|----------|--------------|------------------|
| Process Memory | 4096 MB | MEMORY_THRESHOLD_MB |
| GPU Memory | 2048 MB | GPU_MEMORY_THRESHOLD_MB |
| Temp File Age | 300 seconds | Built-in |
| Model Reload Interval | 300 seconds | Built-in |
### Frontend Thresholds
| Resource | Cleanup Trigger |
|----------|----------------|
| Closed AudioContexts | Every 30 seconds |
| Stopped MediaStreams | Every 30 seconds |
| Orphaned Object URLs | On navigation/unload |
## Best Practices
### Backend
1. **Use Context Managers**
```python
@with_memory_management
def process_audio():
# Automatic cleanup
```
2. **Register Temporary Files**
```python
register_temp_file(path)
ctx.add_temp_file(path)
```
3. **Clear GPU Memory**
```python
torch.cuda.empty_cache()
torch.cuda.synchronize()
```
### Frontend
1. **Use Safe Wrappers**
```typescript
// Don't use raw MediaRecorder
const recorder = new SafeMediaRecorder();
```
2. **Clean Up Handlers**
```typescript
if (audioHandler) {
audioHandler.cleanup();
}
```
3. **Register All Resources**
```typescript
const context = new AudioContext();
memoryManager.registerAudioContext(context);
```
## Monitoring
### Backend Monitoring
```bash
# View memory stats
curl -H "X-Admin-Token: token" http://localhost:5005/admin/memory
# Response
{
"memory": {
"process_mb": 850.5,
"system_percent": 45.2,
"gpu_mb": 1250.0,
"gpu_percent": 61.0
},
"temp_files": {
"count": 5,
"size_mb": 12.5
},
"model": {
"reload_count": 2,
"last_reload": "2024-01-15T10:30:00"
}
}
```
### Frontend Monitoring
```javascript
// Get memory stats
const stats = memoryManager.getStats();
console.log('Active contexts:', stats.audioContexts);
console.log('Object URLs:', stats.objectURLs);
```
## Troubleshooting
### High Memory Usage
1. **Check Current Usage**
```bash
curl -H "X-Admin-Token: token" http://localhost:5005/admin/memory
```
2. **Trigger Manual Cleanup**
```bash
curl -X POST -H "X-Admin-Token: token" \
http://localhost:5005/admin/memory/cleanup
```
3. **Check Logs**
```bash
grep "Memory" logs/talk2me.log
grep "GPU memory" logs/talk2me.log
```
### Memory Leak Symptoms
1. **Backend**
- Process memory continuously increasing
- GPU memory not returning to baseline
- Temp files accumulating in upload folder
- Slower transcription over time
2. **Frontend**
- Browser tab memory increasing
- Page becoming unresponsive
- Audio playback issues
- Console errors about contexts
### Debug Mode
Enable debug logging:
```python
# Backend
app.config['DEBUG_MEMORY'] = True
# Frontend (in console)
localStorage.setItem('DEBUG_MEMORY', 'true');
```
## Performance Impact
Memory management adds minimal overhead:
- Backend: ~30ms per cleanup cycle
- Frontend: <5ms per resource registration
- Cleanup operations are non-blocking
- Model reloading takes ~2-3 seconds (rare)
## Future Enhancements
1. **Predictive Cleanup**: Clean resources based on usage patterns
2. **Memory Pooling**: Reuse audio buffers and contexts
3. **Distributed Memory**: Share memory stats across instances
4. **Alert System**: Notify admins of memory issues
5. **Auto-scaling**: Scale resources based on memory pressure

/opt/talk2me \
/var/log/talk2me \
/etc/systemd/system/talk2me.service \
/etc/nginx/sites-available/talk2me
```
## Troubleshooting
### Service Won't Start
```bash
# Check service status
systemctl status talk2me
# Check logs
journalctl -u talk2me -n 100
# Test configuration
sudo -u talk2me /opt/talk2me/venv/bin/gunicorn --check-config wsgi:application
```
### High Memory Usage
```bash
# Trigger cleanup
curl -X POST -H "X-Admin-Token: token" http://localhost:5005/admin/memory/cleanup
# Restart workers
systemctl reload talk2me
```
### Slow Response Times
1. Check worker count
2. Enable async workers
3. Check GPU availability
4. Review nginx buffering settings
## Performance Optimization
### 1. Enable GPU
Ensure CUDA/ROCm is properly installed:
```bash
# Check GPU
nvidia-smi # or rocm-smi
# Set in environment
export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0
```

```python
# For CPU-heavy workloads
workers = cpu_count()
threads = 1
# For I/O-heavy workloads
workers = cpu_count() * 2
threads = 4
```
### 3. Enable Caching
Use Redis for caching translations:
```python
CACHE_TYPE = 'redis'
CACHE_REDIS_URL = 'redis://localhost:6379/0'
```
## Maintenance
### Regular Tasks
1. **Log Rotation**: Configured automatically
2. **Database Cleanup**: Run weekly
3. **Model Updates**: Check for Whisper updates
4. **Security Updates**: Keep dependencies updated
### Update Procedure
```bash
# Backup first
./backup.sh
# Update code
git pull
# Update dependencies

# Rate Limiting Documentation
This document describes the rate limiting implementation in Talk2Me to protect against DoS attacks and resource exhaustion.
## Overview
Talk2Me implements a comprehensive rate limiting system with:
- Token bucket algorithm with sliding window
- Per-endpoint configurable limits
- IP-based blocking (temporary and permanent)
- Global request limits
- Concurrent request throttling
- Request size validation
## Rate Limits by Endpoint
### Transcription (`/transcribe`)
- **Per Minute**: 10 requests
- **Per Hour**: 100 requests
- **Burst Size**: 3 requests
- **Max Request Size**: 10MB
- **Token Refresh**: 1 token per 6 seconds
### Translation (`/translate`)
- **Per Minute**: 20 requests
- **Per Hour**: 300 requests
- **Burst Size**: 5 requests
- **Max Request Size**: 100KB
- **Token Refresh**: 1 token per 3 seconds
### Streaming Translation (`/translate/stream`)
- **Per Minute**: 10 requests
- **Per Hour**: 150 requests
- **Burst Size**: 3 requests
- **Max Request Size**: 100KB
- **Token Refresh**: 1 token per 6 seconds
### Text-to-Speech (`/speak`)
- **Per Minute**: 15 requests
- **Per Hour**: 200 requests
- **Burst Size**: 3 requests
- **Max Request Size**: 50KB
- **Token Refresh**: 1 token per 4 seconds
### API Endpoints
- Push notifications, error logging: Various limits (see code)
## Global Limits
- **Total Requests Per Minute**: 1,000 (across all endpoints)
- **Total Requests Per Hour**: 10,000
- **Concurrent Requests**: 50 maximum
## Rate Limiting Headers
Successful responses include:
```
X-RateLimit-Limit: 20
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 15
X-RateLimit-Reset: 1234567890
```
Rate limited responses (429) include:
```
X-RateLimit-Limit: 20
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 0
X-RateLimit-Reset: 1234567890
Retry-After: 60
```
## Client Identification
Clients are identified by:
- IP address (including X-Forwarded-For support)
- User-Agent string
- Combined hash for uniqueness
## Automatic Blocking
IPs are temporarily blocked for 1 hour if:
- They exceed 100 requests per minute
- They repeatedly hit rate limits
- They exhibit suspicious patterns
## Configuration
### Environment Variables
```bash
# No direct environment variables for rate limiting
# Configured in code - can be extended to use env vars
```
### Programmatic Configuration
Rate limits can be adjusted in `rate_limiter.py`:
```python
self.endpoint_limits = {
'/transcribe': {
'requests_per_minute': 10,
'requests_per_hour': 100,
'burst_size': 3,
'token_refresh_rate': 0.167,
'max_request_size': 10 * 1024 * 1024 # 10MB
}
}
```
## Admin Endpoints
### Get Rate Limit Configuration
```bash
curl -H "X-Admin-Token: your-admin-token" \
http://localhost:5005/admin/rate-limits
```
### Get Rate Limit Statistics
```bash
# Global stats
curl -H "X-Admin-Token: your-admin-token" \
http://localhost:5005/admin/rate-limits/stats
# Client-specific stats
curl -H "X-Admin-Token: your-admin-token" \
http://localhost:5005/admin/rate-limits/stats?client_id=abc123
```
### Block IP Address
```bash
# Temporary block (1 hour)
curl -X POST -H "X-Admin-Token: your-admin-token" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"ip": "192.168.1.100", "duration": 3600}' \
http://localhost:5005/admin/block-ip
# Permanent block
curl -X POST -H "X-Admin-Token: your-admin-token" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"ip": "192.168.1.100", "permanent": true}' \
http://localhost:5005/admin/block-ip
```
## Algorithm Details
### Token Bucket
- Each client gets a bucket with configurable burst size
- Tokens regenerate at a fixed rate
- Requests consume tokens
- Empty bucket = request denied
### Sliding Window
- Tracks requests in the last minute and hour
- More accurate than fixed windows
- Prevents gaming the system at window boundaries
## Best Practices
### For Users
1. Implement exponential backoff when receiving 429 errors
2. Check rate limit headers to avoid hitting limits
3. Cache responses when possible
4. Use bulk operations where available
### For Administrators
1. Monitor rate limit statistics regularly
2. Adjust limits based on usage patterns
3. Use IP blocking sparingly
4. Set up alerts for suspicious activity
## Error Responses
### Rate Limited (429)
```json
{
"error": "Rate limit exceeded (per minute)",
"retry_after": 60
}
```
### Request Too Large (413)
```json
{
"error": "Request too large"
}
```
### IP Blocked (429)
```json
{
"error": "IP temporarily blocked due to excessive requests"
}
```
## Monitoring
Key metrics to monitor:
- Rate limit hits by endpoint
- Blocked IPs
- Concurrent request peaks
- Request size violations
- Global limit approaches
## Performance Impact
- Minimal overhead (~1-2ms per request)
- Memory usage scales with active clients
- Automatic cleanup of old buckets
- Thread-safe implementation
## Security Considerations
1. **DoS Protection**: Prevents resource exhaustion
2. **Burst Control**: Limits sudden traffic spikes
3. **Size Validation**: Prevents large payload attacks
4. **IP Blocking**: Stops persistent attackers
5. **Global Limits**: Protects overall system capacity
## Troubleshooting
### "Rate limit exceeded" errors
- Check client request patterns
- Verify time synchronization
- Look for retry loops
- Check IP blocking status
### Memory usage increasing
- Verify cleanup thread is running
- Check for client ID explosion
- Monitor bucket count
### Legitimate users blocked
- Review rate limit settings
- Check for shared IP issues
- Implement IP whitelisting if needed

- Automatic request queuing during connection loss
- Exponential backoff retry with configurable parameters
- Visual connection status indicators
- Priority-based request processing
See [CONNECTION_RETRY.md](CONNECTION_RETRY.md) for detailed documentation. ```python
# In your config or via admin API
RATE_LIMITS = {
'default': {'requests_per_minute': 30, 'requests_per_hour': 500},
'transcribe': {'requests_per_minute': 10, 'requests_per_hour': 100},
'translate': {'requests_per_minute': 20, 'requests_per_hour': 300}
}
```
## Rate Limiting #### Session Management
Comprehensive rate limiting protects against DoS attacks and resource exhaustion: ```python
SESSION_CONFIG = {
'max_file_size_mb': 100,
'max_files_per_session': 100,
'idle_timeout_minutes': 15,
'max_lifetime_minutes': 60
}
```
## Security Features

## Monitoring & Operations
### Logging System
Talk2Me uses structured JSON logging with multiple streams:
```bash
logs/
├── talk2me.log # General application log
├── errors.log # Error-specific log
├── access.log # HTTP access log
├── security.log # Security events
└── performance.log # Performance metrics
```
View logs:
```bash
# Recent errors
tail -f logs/errors.log | jq '.'
# Security events
grep "rate_limit_exceeded" logs/security.log | jq '.'
# Slow requests
jq 'select(.extra_fields.duration_ms > 1000)' logs/performance.log
```
### Memory Management
Talk2Me includes comprehensive memory leak prevention:
1. **Backend Memory Management**
- GPU memory monitoring
- Automatic model reloading
- Temporary file cleanup
2. **Frontend Memory Management**
- Audio blob cleanup
- WebRTC resource management
- Event listener cleanup
Monitor memory:
```bash
# Check memory stats
curl -H "X-Admin-Token: $ADMIN_TOKEN" http://localhost:5005/admin/memory
# Trigger manual cleanup
curl -X POST -H "X-Admin-Token: $ADMIN_TOKEN" \
http://localhost:5005/admin/memory/cleanup
```
### Performance Tuning
#### GPU Optimization
```python
# config.py or environment
GPU_OPTIMIZATIONS = {
'enabled': True,
'fp16': True, # Half precision for 2x speedup
'batch_size': 1, # Adjust based on GPU memory
'num_workers': 2, # Parallel data loading
'pin_memory': True # Faster GPU transfer
}
```
#### Whisper Optimization
```python
TRANSCRIBE_OPTIONS = {
'beam_size': 1, # Faster inference
'best_of': 1, # Disable multiple attempts
'temperature': 0, # Deterministic output
'compression_ratio_threshold': 2.4,
'logprob_threshold': -1.0,
'no_speech_threshold': 0.6
}
```
### Scaling Considerations
1. **Horizontal Scaling**
- Use Redis for shared rate limiting
- Configure sticky sessions for WebSocket
- Share audio files via object storage
2. **Vertical Scaling**
- Increase worker processes
- Tune thread pool size
- Allocate more GPU memory
3. **Caching Strategy**
- Cache translations in Redis
- Use CDN for static assets
- Enable HTTP caching headers
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
#### GPU Not Detected
```bash
# Check CUDA availability
python -c "import torch; print(torch.cuda.is_available())"
# Check GPU memory
nvidia-smi
# For AMD GPUs
rocm-smi
# For Apple Silicon
python -c "import torch; print(torch.backends.mps.is_available())"
```
#### High Memory Usage
```bash
# Check for memory leaks
curl -H "X-Admin-Token: $ADMIN_TOKEN" http://localhost:5005/health/storage
# Manual cleanup
curl -X POST -H "X-Admin-Token: $ADMIN_TOKEN" \
http://localhost:5005/admin/cleanup
```
#### CORS Issues
```bash
# Test CORS configuration
curl -X OPTIONS http://localhost:5005/api/transcribe \
-H "Origin: https://yourdomain.com" \
-H "Access-Control-Request-Method: POST"
```

# Request Size Limits Documentation
This document describes the request size limiting system implemented in Talk2Me to prevent memory exhaustion from large uploads.
## Overview
Talk2Me implements comprehensive request size limiting to protect against:
- Memory exhaustion from large file uploads
- Denial of Service (DoS) attacks using oversized requests
- Buffer overflow attempts
- Resource starvation from unbounded requests
## Default Limits
### Global Limits
- **Maximum Content Length**: 50MB - Absolute maximum for any request
- **Maximum Audio File Size**: 25MB - For audio uploads (transcription)
- **Maximum JSON Payload**: 1MB - For API requests
- **Maximum Image Size**: 10MB - For future image processing features
- **Maximum Chunk Size**: 1MB - For streaming uploads
## Features
### 1. Multi-Layer Protection
The system implements multiple layers of size checking:
- Flask's built-in `MAX_CONTENT_LENGTH` configuration
- Pre-request validation before data is loaded into memory
- File-type specific limits
- Endpoint-specific limits
- Streaming request monitoring
### 2. File Type Detection
Automatic detection and enforcement based on file extensions:
- Audio files: `.wav`, `.mp3`, `.ogg`, `.webm`, `.m4a`, `.flac`, `.aac`
- Image files: `.jpg`, `.jpeg`, `.png`, `.gif`, `.webp`, `.bmp`
- JSON payloads: Content-Type header detection
### 3. Graceful Error Handling
When limits are exceeded:
- Returns 413 (Request Entity Too Large) status code
- Provides clear error messages with size information
- Includes both actual and allowed sizes
- Human-readable size formatting
## Configuration
### Environment Variables
```bash
# Set limits via environment variables (in bytes)
export MAX_CONTENT_LENGTH=52428800 # 50MB
export MAX_AUDIO_SIZE=26214400 # 25MB
export MAX_JSON_SIZE=1048576 # 1MB
export MAX_IMAGE_SIZE=10485760 # 10MB
```
### Flask Configuration
```python
# In config.py or app.py
app.config.update({
'MAX_CONTENT_LENGTH': 50 * 1024 * 1024, # 50MB
'MAX_AUDIO_SIZE': 25 * 1024 * 1024, # 25MB
'MAX_JSON_SIZE': 1 * 1024 * 1024, # 1MB
'MAX_IMAGE_SIZE': 10 * 1024 * 1024 # 10MB
})
```
### Dynamic Configuration
Size limits can be updated at runtime via admin API.
## API Endpoints
### GET /admin/size-limits
Get current size limits.
```bash
curl -H "X-Admin-Token: your-token" http://localhost:5005/admin/size-limits
```
Response:
```json
{
"limits": {
"max_content_length": 52428800,
"max_audio_size": 26214400,
"max_json_size": 1048576,
"max_image_size": 10485760
},
"limits_human": {
"max_content_length": "50.0MB",
"max_audio_size": "25.0MB",
"max_json_size": "1.0MB",
"max_image_size": "10.0MB"
}
}
```
### POST /admin/size-limits
Update size limits dynamically.
```bash
curl -X POST -H "X-Admin-Token: your-token" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"max_audio_size": "30MB", "max_json_size": 2097152}' \
http://localhost:5005/admin/size-limits
```
Response:
```json
{
"success": true,
"old_limits": {...},
"new_limits": {...},
"new_limits_human": {
"max_audio_size": "30.0MB",
"max_json_size": "2.0MB"
}
}
```
## Usage Examples
### 1. Endpoint-Specific Limits
```python
@app.route('/upload')
@limit_request_size(max_size=10*1024*1024) # 10MB limit
def upload():
# Handle upload
pass
@app.route('/upload-audio')
@limit_request_size(max_audio_size=30*1024*1024) # 30MB for audio
def upload_audio():
# Handle audio upload
pass
```
### 2. Client-Side Validation
```javascript
// Check file size before upload
const MAX_AUDIO_SIZE = 25 * 1024 * 1024; // 25MB
function validateAudioFile(file) {
if (file.size > MAX_AUDIO_SIZE) {
alert(`Audio file too large. Maximum size is ${MAX_AUDIO_SIZE / 1024 / 1024}MB`);
return false;
}
return true;
}
```
### 3. Chunked Uploads (Future Enhancement)
```javascript
// For files larger than limits, use chunked upload
async function uploadLargeFile(file, chunkSize = 1024 * 1024) {
const chunks = Math.ceil(file.size / chunkSize);
for (let i = 0; i < chunks; i++) {
const start = i * chunkSize;
const end = Math.min(start + chunkSize, file.size);
const chunk = file.slice(start, end);
await uploadChunk(chunk, i, chunks);
}
}
```
## Error Responses
### 413 Request Entity Too Large
When a request exceeds size limits:
```json
{
"error": "Request too large",
"max_size": 52428800,
"your_size": 75000000,
"max_size_mb": 50.0
}
```
### File-Specific Errors
For audio files:
```json
{
"error": "Audio file too large",
"max_size": 26214400,
"your_size": 35000000,
"max_size_mb": 25.0
}
```
For JSON payloads:
```json
{
"error": "JSON payload too large",
"max_size": 1048576,
"your_size": 2000000,
"max_size_kb": 1024.0
}
```
## Best Practices
### 1. Client-Side Validation
Always validate file sizes on the client side:
```javascript
// Add to static/js/app.js
const SIZE_LIMITS = {
audio: 25 * 1024 * 1024, // 25MB
json: 1 * 1024 * 1024, // 1MB
};
function checkFileSize(file, type) {
const limit = SIZE_LIMITS[type];
if (file.size > limit) {
showError(`File too large. Maximum size: ${formatSize(limit)}`);
return false;
}
return true;
}
```
### 2. Progressive Enhancement
For better UX with large files:
- Show upload progress
- Implement resumable uploads
- Compress audio client-side when possible
- Use appropriate audio formats (WebM/Opus for smaller sizes)
### 3. Server Configuration
Configure your web server (Nginx/Apache) to also enforce limits:
**Nginx:**
```nginx
client_max_body_size 50M;
client_body_buffer_size 1M;
```
**Apache:**
```apache
LimitRequestBody 52428800
```
### 4. Monitoring
Monitor size limit violations:
- Track 413 errors in logs
- Alert on repeated violations from same IP
- Adjust limits based on usage patterns
## Security Considerations
1. **Memory Protection**: Pre-flight size checks prevent loading large files into memory
2. **DoS Prevention**: Limits prevent attackers from exhausting server resources
3. **Bandwidth Protection**: Prevents bandwidth exhaustion from large uploads
4. **Storage Protection**: Works with session management to limit total storage per user
## Integration with Other Systems
### Rate Limiting
Size limits work in conjunction with rate limiting:
- Large requests count more against rate limits
- Repeated size violations can trigger IP blocking
### Session Management
Size limits are enforced per session:
- Total storage per session is limited
- Large files count against session resource limits
### Monitoring
Size limit violations are tracked in:
- Application logs
- Health check endpoints
- Admin monitoring dashboards
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
#### 1. Legitimate Large Files Rejected
If users need to upload larger files:
```bash
# Increase limit for audio files to 50MB
curl -X POST -H "X-Admin-Token: token" \
-d '{"max_audio_size": "50MB"}' \
http://localhost:5005/admin/size-limits
```
#### 2. Chunked Transfer Encoding
For requests without Content-Length header:
- The system monitors the stream
- Terminates connection if size exceeded
- May require special handling for some clients
#### 3. Load Balancer Limits
Ensure your load balancer also enforces appropriate limits:
- AWS ALB: Configure request size limits
- Cloudflare: Set upload size limits
- Nginx: Configure client_max_body_size
## Performance Impact
The size limiting system has minimal performance impact:
- Pre-flight checks are O(1) operations
- No buffering of large requests
- Early termination of oversized requests
- Efficient memory usage
## Future Enhancements
1. **Chunked Upload Support**: Native support for resumable uploads
2. **Compression Detection**: Automatic handling of compressed uploads
3. **Dynamic Limits**: Per-user or per-tier size limits
4. **Bandwidth Throttling**: Rate limit large uploads
5. **Storage Quotas**: Long-term storage limits per user

# Secrets Management Documentation
This document describes the secure secrets management system implemented in Talk2Me.
## Overview
Talk2Me uses a comprehensive secrets management system that provides:
- Encrypted storage of sensitive configuration
- Secret rotation capabilities
- Audit logging
- Integrity verification
- CLI management tools
- Environment variable integration
## Architecture
### Components
1. **SecretsManager** (`secrets_manager.py`)
- Handles encryption/decryption using Fernet (AES-128)
- Manages secret lifecycle (create, read, update, delete)
- Provides audit logging
- Supports secret rotation
2. **Configuration System** (`config.py`)
- Integrates secrets with Flask configuration
- Environment-specific configurations
- Validation and sanitization
3. **CLI Tool** (`manage_secrets.py`)
- Command-line interface for secret management
- Interactive and scriptable
### Security Features
- **Encryption**: AES-128 encryption using cryptography.fernet
- **Key Derivation**: PBKDF2 with SHA256 (100,000 iterations)
- **Master Key**: Stored separately with restricted permissions
- **Audit Trail**: All access and modifications logged
- **Integrity Checks**: Verify secrets haven't been tampered with
## Quick Start
### 1. Initialize Secrets
```bash
python manage_secrets.py init
```
This will:
- Generate a master encryption key
- Create initial secrets (Flask secret key, admin token)
- Prompt for required secrets (TTS API key)
### 2. Set a Secret
```bash
# Interactive (hidden input)
python manage_secrets.py set TTS_API_KEY
# Direct (be careful with shell history)
python manage_secrets.py set TTS_API_KEY --value "your-api-key"
# With metadata
python manage_secrets.py set API_KEY --value "key" --metadata '{"service": "external-api"}'
```
### 3. List Secrets
```bash
python manage_secrets.py list
```
Output:
```
Key Created Last Rotated Has Value
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FLASK_SECRET_KEY 2024-01-15 2024-01-20 ✓
TTS_API_KEY 2024-01-15 Never ✓
ADMIN_TOKEN 2024-01-15 2024-01-18 ✓
```
### 4. Rotate Secrets
```bash
# Rotate a specific secret
python manage_secrets.py rotate ADMIN_TOKEN
# Check which secrets need rotation
python manage_secrets.py check-rotation
# Schedule automatic rotation
python manage_secrets.py schedule-rotation API_KEY 30 # Every 30 days
```
## Configuration
### Environment Variables
The secrets manager checks these locations in order:
1. Encrypted secrets storage (`.secrets.json`)
2. `SECRET_<KEY>` environment variable
3. `<KEY>` environment variable
4. Default value
### Master Key
The master encryption key is loaded from:
1. `MASTER_KEY` environment variable
2. `.master_key` file (default)
3. Auto-generated if neither exists
**Important**: Protect the master key!
- Set file permissions: `chmod 600 .master_key`
- Back it up securely
- Never commit to version control
### Flask Integration
Secrets are automatically loaded into Flask configuration:
```python
# In app.py
from config import init_app as init_config
from secrets_manager import init_app as init_secrets
app = Flask(__name__)
init_config(app)
init_secrets(app)
# Access secrets
api_key = app.config['TTS_API_KEY']
```
## CLI Commands
### Basic Operations
```bash
# List all secrets
python manage_secrets.py list
# Get a secret value (requires confirmation)
python manage_secrets.py get TTS_API_KEY
# Set a secret
python manage_secrets.py set DATABASE_URL
# Delete a secret
python manage_secrets.py delete OLD_API_KEY
# Rotate a secret
python manage_secrets.py rotate ADMIN_TOKEN
```
### Advanced Operations
```bash
# Verify integrity of all secrets
python manage_secrets.py verify
# Migrate from environment variables
python manage_secrets.py migrate
# View audit log
python manage_secrets.py audit
python manage_secrets.py audit TTS_API_KEY --limit 50
# Schedule rotation
python manage_secrets.py schedule-rotation API_KEY 90
```
## Security Best Practices
### 1. File Permissions
```bash
# Secure the secrets files
chmod 600 .secrets.json
chmod 600 .master_key
```
### 2. Backup Strategy
- Back up `.master_key` separately from `.secrets.json`
- Store backups in different secure locations
- Test restore procedures regularly
### 3. Rotation Policy
Recommended rotation intervals:
- API Keys: 90 days
- Admin Tokens: 30 days
- Database Passwords: 180 days
- Encryption Keys: 365 days
### 4. Access Control
- Use environment-specific secrets
- Implement least privilege access
- Audit secret access regularly
### 5. Git Security
Ensure these files are in `.gitignore`:
```
.secrets.json
.master_key
secrets.db
*.key
```
## Deployment
### Development
```bash
# Use .env file for convenience
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with development values
# Initialize secrets
python manage_secrets.py init
```
### Production
```bash
# Set master key via environment
export MASTER_KEY="your-production-master-key"
# Or use a key management service
export MASTER_KEY_FILE="/secure/path/to/master.key"
# Load secrets from secure storage
python manage_secrets.py set TTS_API_KEY --value "$TTS_API_KEY"
python manage_secrets.py set ADMIN_TOKEN --value "$ADMIN_TOKEN"
```
### Docker
```dockerfile
# Dockerfile
FROM python:3.9
# Copy encrypted secrets (not the master key!)
COPY .secrets.json /app/.secrets.json
# Master key provided at runtime
ENV MASTER_KEY=""
# Run with:
# docker run -e MASTER_KEY="$MASTER_KEY" myapp
```
### Kubernetes
```yaml
# secret.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: talk2me-master-key
type: Opaque
stringData:
master-key: "your-master-key"
---
# deployment.yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
spec:
template:
spec:
containers:
- name: talk2me
env:
- name: MASTER_KEY
valueFrom:
secretKeyRef:
name: talk2me-master-key
key: master-key
```
## Troubleshooting
### Lost Master Key
If you lose the master key:
1. You'll need to recreate all secrets
2. Generate new master key: `python manage_secrets.py init`
3. Re-enter all secret values
### Corrupted Secrets File
```bash
# Check integrity
python manage_secrets.py verify
# If corrupted, restore from backup or reinitialize
```
### Permission Errors
```bash
# Fix file permissions
chmod 600 .secrets.json .master_key
chown $USER:$USER .secrets.json .master_key
```
## Monitoring
### Audit Logs
Review secret access patterns:
```bash
# View all audit entries
python manage_secrets.py audit
# Check specific secret
python manage_secrets.py audit TTS_API_KEY
# Export for analysis
python manage_secrets.py audit > audit.log
```
### Rotation Monitoring
```bash
# Check rotation status
python manage_secrets.py check-rotation
# Set up cron job for automatic checks
0 0 * * * /path/to/python /path/to/manage_secrets.py check-rotation
```
## Migration Guide
### From Environment Variables
```bash
# Automatic migration
python manage_secrets.py migrate
# Manual migration
export OLD_API_KEY="your-key"
python manage_secrets.py set API_KEY --value "$OLD_API_KEY"
unset OLD_API_KEY
```
### From .env Files
```python
# migrate_env.py
from dotenv import dotenv_values
from secrets_manager import get_secrets_manager
env_values = dotenv_values('.env')
manager = get_secrets_manager()
for key, value in env_values.items():
if key.endswith('_KEY') or key.endswith('_TOKEN'):
manager.set(key, value, {'migrated_from': '.env'})
```
## API Reference
### Python API
```python
from secrets_manager import get_secret, set_secret
# Get a secret
api_key = get_secret('TTS_API_KEY', default='')
# Set a secret
set_secret('NEW_API_KEY', 'value', metadata={'service': 'external'})
# Advanced usage
from secrets_manager import get_secrets_manager
manager = get_secrets_manager()
manager.rotate('API_KEY')
manager.schedule_rotation('TOKEN', days=30)
```
### Flask CLI
```bash
# Via Flask CLI
flask secrets-list
flask secrets-set
flask secrets-rotate
flask secrets-check-rotation
```
## Security Considerations
1. **Never log secret values**
2. **Use secure random generation for new secrets**
3. **Implement proper access controls**
4. **Regular security audits**
5. **Incident response plan for compromised secrets**
## Future Enhancements
- Integration with cloud KMS (AWS, Azure, GCP)
- Hardware security module (HSM) support
- Secret sharing (Shamir's Secret Sharing)
- Time-based access controls
- Automated compliance reporting

# Security Configuration Guide
This document outlines security best practices for deploying Talk2Me.
## Secrets Management
Talk2Me includes a comprehensive secrets management system with encryption, rotation, and audit logging.
### Quick Start
```bash
# Initialize secrets management
python manage_secrets.py init
# Set a secret
python manage_secrets.py set TTS_API_KEY
# List secrets
python manage_secrets.py list
# Rotate secrets
python manage_secrets.py rotate ADMIN_TOKEN
```
See [SECRETS_MANAGEMENT.md](SECRETS_MANAGEMENT.md) for detailed documentation.
## Environment Variables
**NEVER commit sensitive information like API keys, passwords, or secrets to version control.**
### Required Security Configuration
1. **TTS_API_KEY**
- Required for TTS server authentication
- Set via environment variable: `export TTS_API_KEY="your-api-key"`
- Or use a `.env` file (see `.env.example`)
2. **SECRET_KEY**
- Required for Flask session security
- Generate a secure key: `python -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_hex(32))"`
- Set via: `export SECRET_KEY="your-generated-key"`
3. **ADMIN_TOKEN**
- Required for admin endpoints
- Generate a secure token: `python -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_urlsafe(32))"`
- Set via: `export ADMIN_TOKEN="your-admin-token"`
### Using a .env File (Recommended)
1. Copy the example file:
```bash
cp .env.example .env
```
2. Edit `.env` with your actual values:
```bash
nano .env # or your preferred editor
```
3. Load environment variables:
```bash
# Using python-dotenv (add to requirements.txt)
pip install python-dotenv
# Or source manually
source .env
```
### Python-dotenv Integration
To automatically load `.env` files, add this to the top of `app.py`:
```python
from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv() # Load .env file if it exists
```
### Production Deployment
For production deployments:
1. **Use a secrets management service**:
- AWS Secrets Manager
- HashiCorp Vault
- Azure Key Vault
- Google Secret Manager
2. **Set environment variables securely**:
- Use your platform's environment configuration
- Never expose secrets in logs or error messages
- Rotate keys regularly
3. **Additional security measures**:
- Use HTTPS only
- Enable CORS restrictions
- Implement rate limiting
- Monitor for suspicious activity
### Docker Deployment
When using Docker:
```dockerfile
# Use build arguments for non-sensitive config
ARG TTS_SERVER_URL=http://localhost:5050/v1/audio/speech
# Use runtime environment for secrets
ENV TTS_API_KEY=""
```
Run with:
```bash
docker run -e TTS_API_KEY="your-key" -e SECRET_KEY="your-secret" talk2me
```
### Kubernetes Deployment
Use Kubernetes secrets:
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: talk2me-secrets
type: Opaque
stringData:
tts-api-key: "your-api-key"
flask-secret-key: "your-secret-key"
admin-token: "your-admin-token"
```
### Rate Limiting
Talk2Me implements comprehensive rate limiting to prevent abuse:
1. **Per-Endpoint Limits**:
- Transcription: 10/min, 100/hour
- Translation: 20/min, 300/hour
- TTS: 15/min, 200/hour
2. **Global Limits**:
- 1,000 requests/minute total
- 50 concurrent requests maximum
3. **Automatic Protection**:
- IP blocking for excessive requests
- Request size validation
- Burst control
See [RATE_LIMITING.md](RATE_LIMITING.md) for configuration details.
### Security Checklist

# Session Management Documentation
This document describes the session management system implemented in Talk2Me to prevent resource leaks from abandoned sessions.
## Overview
Talk2Me implements a comprehensive session management system that tracks user sessions and associated resources (audio files, temporary files, streams) to ensure proper cleanup and prevent resource exhaustion.
## Features
### 1. Automatic Resource Tracking
All resources created during a user session are automatically tracked:
- Audio files (uploads and generated)
- Temporary files
- Active streams
- Resource metadata (size, creation time, purpose)
### 2. Resource Limits
Per-session limits prevent resource exhaustion:
- Maximum resources per session: 100
- Maximum storage per session: 100MB
- Automatic cleanup of oldest resources when limits are reached
### 3. Session Lifecycle Management
Sessions are automatically managed:
- Created on first request
- Updated on each request
- Cleaned up when idle (15 minutes)
- Removed when expired (1 hour)
### 4. Automatic Cleanup
Background cleanup processes run automatically:
- Idle session cleanup (every minute)
- Expired session cleanup (every minute)
- Orphaned file cleanup (every minute)
## Configuration
Session management can be configured via environment variables or Flask config:
```python
# app.py or config.py
app.config.update({
'MAX_SESSION_DURATION': 3600, # 1 hour
'MAX_SESSION_IDLE_TIME': 900, # 15 minutes
'MAX_RESOURCES_PER_SESSION': 100,
'MAX_BYTES_PER_SESSION': 104857600, # 100MB
'SESSION_CLEANUP_INTERVAL': 60, # 1 minute
'SESSION_STORAGE_PATH': '/path/to/sessions'
})
```
## API Endpoints
### Admin Endpoints
All admin endpoints require authentication via `X-Admin-Token` header.
#### GET /admin/sessions
Get information about all active sessions.
```bash
curl -H "X-Admin-Token: your-token" http://localhost:5005/admin/sessions
```
Response:
```json
{
"sessions": [
{
"session_id": "uuid",
"user_id": null,

"duration_seconds": 300,
"idle_seconds": 0,
"request_count": 5,
"resource_count": 3,
"total_bytes_used": 1048576,
"resources": [...]
}
],
"stats": {
"total_sessions_created": 100,
"total_sessions_cleaned": 50,

```bash
curl -H "X-Admin-Token: your-token" http://localhost:5005/admin/sessions/metrics
```
Response:
```json
{
"sessions": {
"active": 5,
"total_created": 100,
"total_cleaned": 95
},
"resources": {
"active": 20,
"total_cleaned": 380,
"active_bytes": 10485760,
"total_bytes_cleaned": 1073741824
},
"limits": {
"max_session_duration": 3600,
"max_idle_time": 900,
"max_resources_per_session": 100,
"max_bytes_per_session": 104857600
}
}
```
## CLI Commands
Session management can be controlled via Flask CLI commands:
```bash
# List all active sessions
flask sessions-list
# Manual cleanup
flask sessions-cleanup
# Show statistics
flask sessions-stats
```
## Usage Examples
### 1. Monitor Active Sessions
```python
import requests
headers = {'X-Admin-Token': 'your-admin-token'}
response = requests.get('http://localhost:5005/admin/sessions', headers=headers)
sessions = response.json()
for session in sessions['sessions']:
print(f"Session {session['session_id']}:")
print(f" IP: {session['ip_address']}")
print(f" Resources: {session['resource_count']}")
print(f" Storage: {session['total_bytes_used'] / 1024 / 1024:.2f} MB")
```
### 2. Cleanup Idle Sessions
```python
# Get all sessions
response = requests.get('http://localhost:5005/admin/sessions', headers=headers)
sessions = response.json()['sessions']
# Find idle sessions
idle_threshold = 300 # 5 minutes
for session in sessions:
if session['idle_seconds'] > idle_threshold:
# Cleanup idle session
cleanup_url = f'http://localhost:5005/admin/sessions/{session["session_id"]}/cleanup'
requests.post(cleanup_url, headers=headers)
print(f"Cleaned up idle session {session['session_id']}")
```
### 3. Monitor Resource Usage
```python
# Get metrics
response = requests.get('http://localhost:5005/admin/sessions/metrics', headers=headers)
metrics = response.json()
print(f"Active sessions: {metrics['sessions']['active']}")
print(f"Active resources: {metrics['resources']['active']}")
print(f"Storage used: {metrics['resources']['active_bytes'] / 1024 / 1024:.2f} MB")
print(f"Total cleaned: {metrics['resources']['total_bytes_cleaned'] / 1024 / 1024 / 1024:.2f} GB")
```
## Resource Types
The session manager tracks different types of resources:
### 1. Audio Files
- Uploaded audio files for transcription
- Generated audio files from TTS
- Automatically cleaned up after session ends
### 2. Temporary Files
- Processing intermediates
- Cache files
- Automatically cleaned up after use
### 3. Streams
- WebSocket connections
- Server-sent event streams
- Closed when session ends
## Best Practices
### 1. Session Configuration
```python
# Development
app.config.update({
'MAX_SESSION_DURATION': 7200, # 2 hours
'MAX_SESSION_IDLE_TIME': 1800, # 30 minutes
'MAX_RESOURCES_PER_SESSION': 200,
'MAX_BYTES_PER_SESSION': 209715200 # 200MB
})
# Production
app.config.update({
'MAX_SESSION_DURATION': 3600, # 1 hour
'MAX_SESSION_IDLE_TIME': 900, # 15 minutes
'MAX_RESOURCES_PER_SESSION': 100,
'MAX_BYTES_PER_SESSION': 104857600 # 100MB
})
```
### 2. Monitoring
Set up monitoring for:
- Number of active sessions
- Resource usage per session
- Cleanup frequency
- Failed cleanup attempts
### 3. Alerting
Configure alerts for:
- High number of active sessions (>1000)
- High resource usage (>80% of limits)
- Failed cleanup operations
- Orphaned files detected
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
#### 1. Sessions Not Being Cleaned Up
Check cleanup thread status:
```bash
flask sessions-stats
```
Manual cleanup:
```bash
flask sessions-cleanup
```
#### 2. Resource Limits Reached
Check session details:
```bash
curl -H "X-Admin-Token: token" http://localhost:5005/admin/sessions/SESSION_ID
```
Increase limits if needed:
```python
app.config['MAX_RESOURCES_PER_SESSION'] = 200
app.config['MAX_BYTES_PER_SESSION'] = 209715200 # 200MB
```
#### 3. Orphaned Files
Check for orphaned files:
```bash
ls -la /path/to/session/storage/
```
Clean orphaned files:
```bash
flask sessions-cleanup
```
### Debug Logging
Enable debug logging for session management:
```python
import logging
# Enable session manager debug logs
logging.getLogger('session_manager').setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
```
## Security Considerations
1. **Session Hijacking**: Sessions are tied to IP addresses and user agents
2. **Resource Exhaustion**: Strict per-session limits prevent DoS attacks
3. **File System Access**: Session storage uses secure paths and permissions
4. **Admin Access**: All admin endpoints require authentication
## Performance Impact
The session management system has minimal performance impact:
- Memory: ~1KB per session + resource metadata
- CPU: Background cleanup runs every minute
- Disk I/O: Cleanup operations are batched
- Network: No external dependencies
## Integration with Other Systems
### Rate Limiting
Session management integrates with rate limiting:
```python
# Sessions are automatically tracked per IP
# Rate limits apply per session
```
### Secrets Management
Session tokens can be encrypted:
```python
from secrets_manager import encrypt_value
encrypted_session = encrypt_value(session_id)
```
### Monitoring
Export metrics to monitoring systems:
```python
# Prometheus format
@app.route('/metrics')
def prometheus_metrics():
metrics = app.session_manager.export_metrics()
# Format as Prometheus metrics
return format_prometheus(metrics)
```
## Future Enhancements
1. **Session Persistence**: Store sessions in Redis/database
2. **Distributed Sessions**: Support for multi-server deployments
3. **Session Analytics**: Track usage patterns and trends
4. **Resource Quotas**: Per-user resource quotas
5. **Session Replay**: Debug issues by replaying sessions
