CRITICAL FIX: The OwnTracks app publishes to owntracks/<username>/<device_id>,
not owntracks/owntrack/<device_id>. This was causing data delivery failures
and privacy violations.
Changes:
- Fix ACL topic pattern: owntracks/<username>/# (was: owntracks/owntrack/<device_id>)
- Backend now uses MQTT_ADMIN_USERNAME for global subscription
- Update UI forms and placeholders with correct pattern
- Update email template with correct topic format
- Enable Mosquitto ACL file for user isolation
- Add migration script for existing ACL rules
- Update documentation (README, GEMINI.md)
Privacy & Security:
- Each user isolated at MQTT broker level via ACL
- Backend subscribes with admin credentials to owntracks/+/+
- Web UI filters data by parent_user_id for additional security
- GDPR compliant multi-layer defense in depth
Files changed:
- lib/mqtt-db.ts - Updated createDefaultRule() to use username
- app/api/mqtt/credentials/route.ts - Pass username to ACL creation
- app/admin/mqtt/page.tsx - UI forms and state management
- emails/mqtt-credentials.tsx - Email template topic pattern
- lib/mqtt-subscriber.ts - Use admin credentials from env
- mosquitto/config/mosquitto.conf - Enable ACL enforcement
- README.md, GEMINI.md - Documentation updates
- scripts/fix-acl-topic-patterns.js - Migration script
- MQTT_TOPIC_FIX.md - Detailed implementation guide
