# Dev Launcher - Platform Support Roadmap

**Goal**: Build a launcher in the dev branch that fully supports all documented platforms with proper detection, health checks, and platform-specific options.

- [x] Detailed system info menu option (7)
- [x] Show detected platforms on every menu refresh

### Step 2: Platform Health Checks (NEXT)
- [ ] Create `modules/diagnostics/platform-health-check.sh`
  - Verify control panel is running
  - Check essential services (apache/nginx, mysql/mariadb, php)
  - Firewall status and basic rules
  - CloudFlare integration status
  - Storage and resource warnings

- [ ] Create `modules/diagnostics/os-compatibility-check.sh`
  - Verify OS-specific packages installed
  - Check for known incompatibilities
  - Version compatibility matrix verification
  - Kernel version compatibility

### Step 3: Platform-Specific Menus
- [ ] Add dynamic menu options based on detected platform
  - cPanel-specific tools (cPHulk, DKIM, AutoSSL)
  - Plesk-specific tools (Extension management, Packages)
  - InterWorx-specific tools (NodeWorx commands)
  - CloudLinux-specific tools (LVE limits, alt-php)

### Step 4: Control Panel Discovery Enhancement
- [ ] Enhanced cPanel detection
  - Version-specific features
  - Installed plugins (AutoSSL, Immuify, etc.)

- [ ] Enhanced Plesk detection
  - Version-aware paths (pre-18.0.50 vs 18.0.50+)
  - Extension detection
  - Module status

- [ ] Enhanced InterWorx detection
  - Installed modules
  - Custom plugins

- [ ] CloudLinux detection
  - LVE resource limits
  - CloudLinux version and license

### Per-OS Checks
- [ ] Package manager compatibility
- [ ] Service manager (systemd vs init)

---

## Phase 4: Database & PHP Deep Dive
**Status**: ⏳ Planned

### Database Detection Enhancement
- [ ] Detect Percona Server
- [ ] Database cluster detection (Galera for MariaDB)
- [ ] Replication status
- [ ] Backup tool detection (Acronis, Bacula, etc.)

### PHP Multi-Version Support

---

## Phase 5: Service Status Dashboard
**Status**: ⏳ Planned

### Essential Services

- [ ] Immuify/malware detection
- [ ] Backup agents (Acronis, etc.)
- [ ] CloudFlare support

---

## Phase 6: Intelligence & Recommendations
**Status**: ⏳ Planned

### Platform-Specific Recommendations
- [ ] cPanel: Recommendations for security hardening, backup setup
- [ ] Plesk: Extension recommendations, performance tuning
- [ ] InterWorx: Resource allocation, security features
- [ ] Standalone: Web server optimization, PHP tuning

### Compatibility Warnings
- [ ] Warn if mixing incompatible tools
- [ ] Alert on deprecated versions
- [ ] Suggest upgrades for end-of-life software

### Performance Insights
- [ ] PHP version optimization
- [ ] Database tuning hints
- [ ] Caching recommendations
- [ ] Resource allocation suggestions

## Testing Strategy

### By Control Panel
- [ ] Test on cPanel/RHEL
- [ ] Test on Plesk/Ubuntu
- [ ] Test on InterWorx/Rocky
- [ ] Test on Standalone/Debian

### By OS
- [ ] CentOS 7/8/9

### Coverage Matrix
- All 4 control panels × 6 OSes = 24 test combinations
- Plus 4 web servers, 2 DB types, multiple PHP versions

---

## Success Criteria

1. ✅ Detect all 4 control panels accurately
2. ✅ Detect all 6 OS types accurately
3. ✅ Display platform info without errors
4. ✅ Recommend appropriate tools per platform
5. ✅ Provide health checks for detected platforms
6. ✅ Handle missing/unknown components gracefully

## Files to Create/Modify

### New Modules
- `modules/diagnostics/platform-health-check.sh` (400-500 lines)
- `modules/diagnostics/os-compatibility-check.sh` (300-400 lines)
- `modules/platform-tools/` (directory for platform-specific tools)

### Modified Files
- `launcher.sh` - Add platform-specific menu options
- `lib/system-detect.sh` - Enhance detection functions
- Various module files - Add platform compatibility checks

This roadmap uses the comprehensive knowledge base at `/root/.claude/knowledge-base/`:
- `control-panels/*/` - Platform-specific implementation details
- `operating-systems/*/` - OS-specific configuration and differences
- `databases/*/` - Database detection and management
- `shared-systems/php-version-detection.md` - PHP multi-version handling
