• Device-based organization (laptop, phone, tablet, workpc, homepc, etc.)
• Immutable original uploads
• Derived file workflow for processing and edits
• Searchable file library
• Bulk upload and bulk export support
• Audit logging
• Owner-approved admin support access using one-time token workflow

Planned host and path

• Host: vault3
• App path: /opt/otb_cloud
• Domain: otb-cloud.outsidethebox.top
• Storage root: /tank/backups/otb-cloud

Planned backend stack

• Flask
• MariaDB
• Jinja templates with shared portal base
• Background job processing for media conversions
• FFmpeg for video/audio processing
• Nginx reverse proxy

Security goals

• Portal-authenticated access only
• No unauthenticated file access
• Tenant-isolated storage and database access
• Audit logging for login attempts and file actions
• Encrypted storage at rest
• HTTPS/TLS in transit
• Immutable originals by default

Device model

Each tenant may define logical upload devices such as:
