RPKI Explorer

RPKI Explorer is the web UI for browsing the outputs of the ours RP rpki_query_service — runs, repositories, publication points, objects, validation issues and evidence exports. It is a read-only query layer: it does not change validation logic or RP state.

Features

Overview — latest-run health at a glance: VRP/ASPA/object/PP counts, validation result and object type charts, top repositories, top reject reasons, all with drill-down links.
Repositories — paginated repository list, repository detail with sync phases/terminal states, publication points and scoped object browsing.
Publication Points — global PP list and PP detail (URIs, sync state, thisUpdate/nextUpdate, objects).
Objects — global object browser with server-side filters (type, result, rejected, q URI substring) and cursor paging.
Object detail — structured parsed projections (ROA prefixes, ASPA providers, manifest file list, CRL revocations, certificate fields), validation summary, on-demand explain (audit projection, non-authoritative), chain edges, raw DER download, object-set export.
Validation — result distribution, reject-reason distribution with click-to-filter, paginated issue list (/issues).
Search — unified lookup: exact object URI, SHA-256 (full or ≥8 hex prefix), repository host/URI substring, PP URI substring — plus VRP lookup: enter an IPv4/IPv6 address or CIDR prefix to list the covering VRPs (prefix queries use covering semantics: VRP prefix must cover the whole queried prefix with maxLength ≥ queried length), with an optional ASN filter and cursor paging. ASN-only queries are not supported by the API and the page says so.
Exports — export job list with live polling and tarball download.
Runs — indexed run history; pin any run as the browsing context via the run selector in the top bar (?run= URL param, deep-linkable everywhere).
API — service health and endpoint reference.

Backend requirements

rpki_query_service (this repository, src/bin/rpki_query_service.rs) with a query-db built by rpki_query_indexer. Some features need extra service flags:

Feature	Requirement
Parsed projections, raw download, exports	`--repo-bytes-db <path>`
New runs appear automatically	`--watch-run-root <path>`

The service has no CORS headers and no authentication — the UI must be served same-origin with the API behind a proxy (dev: Vite proxy; prod: reverse proxy). VRP lookup needs runs indexed at query-db schema version 2 (#122); re-index older runs with rpki_query_indexer (or the service --watch-run-root backfill), otherwise lookup results are empty.

Development

Start the query service (example with a local query-db):

rpki_2/rpki/target/debug/rpki_query_service \
  --query-db /path/to/query-db \
  --repo-bytes-db /path/to/repo-bytes.db \
  --listen 127.0.0.1:9557

Start the Vite dev server:

cd rpki_2/rpki/ui/rpki-explorer
npm install
RPKI_EXPLORER_API_TARGET=http://127.0.0.1:9557 npm run dev

The dev server proxies /api/v1/* to RPKI_EXPLORER_API_TARGET (default http://127.0.0.1:9557) and serves the UI on http://127.0.0.1:5173.

Production

npm run build
RPKI_EXPLORER_API_TARGET=http://127.0.0.1:9557 npm run preview   # smoke-test the build

For real deployments serve dist/ with any static server / reverse proxy and forward /api/v1/* to rpki_query_service on the same origin, e.g. nginx:

location /api/v1/ { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:9557; }
location /        { root /srv/rpki-explorer/dist; try_files $uri /index.html; }

try_files ... /index.html (SPA fallback) is required because routing is client-side.

Validation

npm run typecheck    # tsc project references
npm run lint         # eslint
npm test             # vitest unit tests (lib + api contract)
npm run build        # production build
npm run test:e2e     # Playwright, fully mocked backend (no service needed)

E2E tests intercept every /api/v1/** request with a fixture-backed mock (tests/e2e/mockApi.ts), so they are deterministic and need no running query service. They start the Vite dev server automatically (workers: 1).
