Firefox Monitor Server

Summary

Firefox Monitor notifies users when their credentials have been compromised in a data breach.

This code is for the monitor.firefox.com service & website.

Breach data is powered by haveibeenpwned.com.

See the Have I Been Pwned about page for the "what" and "why" of data breach alerts.

Development

Requirements

• Node 10 (with npm)
• Postgres

Install

1. Clone and change to the directory:

   git clone https://github.com/mozilla/blurts-server.git
   cd blurts-server
   

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install
   

3. Copy the .env-dist file to .env:

   cp .env-dist .env
   

Run

1. Run the server:

   npm start
   

Note: npm start uses onchange and nodemon to automatically detect file changes, re-compile static assets, and restart the express process. If you want more control, see the scripts section of package.json for more commands.

2. Navigate to localhost:6060/

Database

To create the database tables ...

1. Create the blurts database:

   createdb blurts
   createdb test-blurts # for tests
   

2. Update the DATABASE_URL value in your .env file with your local db credentials:

   DATABASE_URL="postgres://<username>@localhost:<port>/blurts"
   

3. Run the migrations:

   npm run db:migrate
   

Emails

The included .env-dist sets DEBUG_DUMMY_SMTP=1 which disables emails.

To send emails, you'll need to unset DEBUG_DUMMY_SMTP and supply real SMTP config values for sending email.

You can set and source these via the .env file, or set them directly:

export DEBUG_DUMMY_SMTP=
export SMTP_HOST=<your-smtp-host>
export SMTP_PORT=<your-smtp-port>
export SMTP_USERNAME=<your-username>
export SMTP_PASSWORD=<your-password>

Firefox Accounts

Subscribe with a Firefox Account is controlled via the FXA_ENABLED environment variable. (See .env-dist)

The repo comes with a development FxA oauth app pre-configured in .env, which should work fine running the app on http://localhost:6060. You'll need to get the OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET value from someone in #fxmonitor-engineering.

Testing

The full test suite can be run via npm test.

Individual tests

To run individual tests, use NODE_ENV=tests and jest:

NODE_ENV=tests jest --runInBand tests/home.test.js

To run tests with interactive debugger lines enabled:

NODE_ENV=tests node inspect --harmony ./node_modules/.bin/jest tests/home.test.js

Lint

After installing the dependencies, you can lint the code by calling:

npm run lint

Deployment

Firefox Monitor Breach Alerts is designed with 12-factor methodology.

Deploy on Heroku

You will need to set some required environment variables on Heroku.

heroku config:set COOKIE_SECRET=unsafe-cookie-secret-for-heroku
heroku config:set DEBUG_DUMMY_SMTP=1

And any others, depending on the features you're running on Heroku - e.g., Email or Firefox Accounts.
