Watchtower - session and login monitoring plugin for Roundcube

0.0.1 2025-12-03 17:33 UTC

Requires

• php: >=7.4

GPL-3.0

• Gene Hawkins

README

Watchtower adds a Settings → Watchtower panel intended for session monitoring and login activity visualization.

This baseline:

• Wires a new Settings action: Watchtower
• Reads the Roundcube session table and shows recent sessions (user, IP, host, last activity)
• Uses two separate images for the Settings icon (normal + active) in Larry
• Keeps layout simple so it works with Larry variants and Elastic

Installation

1. Extract the watchtower directory into your Roundcube plugins/ folder:

   plugins/watchtower/
   

2. Copy the config template and adjust if needed:

   cd plugins/watchtower
   cp config.inc.php.dist config.inc.php

3. Enable the plugin in your Roundcube config/config.inc.php:

   $config['plugins'][] = 'watchtower';

Skins & Icons

• Larry (and my 10 Colorized Larry Variants):

  • Two separate images for the Settings icon: normal and active.
  • Icons live in skins/larry/images/ as SVGs you can replace.

• Elastic:

  • Neutral layout and CSS, no sprite assumptions.

• Classic (I am nostalgic):

  • Neutral layout and CSS, no sprite assumptions.

Extending Watchtower

Next steps I want to add to this plugin:

• Define "active" vs "stale" session rules.
• Create your own watchtower_sessions table and log full login events including user-agent and geoinfo.
• Add filters and a "suspicious activity" tab.

Enjoy!
