# Docker Deployment Files Summary

This document summarizes all the Docker-related files created for deploying your Next.js Taskboard application.

## Files Created

### 1. `Dockerfile` ✅ **FIXED**
- **Purpose**: Multi-stage Docker image build configuration
- **Features**:
  - Node.js 18 Alpine base image
  - **FIXED**: Proper dependency installation (all deps for build, production only for runtime)
  - **FIXED**: Prisma client generation with CLI available for migrations
  - **FIXED**: Curl installed for health checks
  - **NEW**: Automatic database migrations on startup
  - Security: Non-root user execution
  - Health checks included
  - Optimized for production

### 2. `docker-compose.yml` ✅ **UPDATED**
- **Purpose**: Local development and testing with Docker Compose
- **Services**:
  - PostgreSQL database with health checks
  - Next.js application with automatic migrations
  - **REMOVED**: Separate migration service (now integrated)
  - Proper networking with nginx-proxy-manager

### 3. `portainer-stack.yml` ✅ **FIXED**
- **Purpose**: Production deployment configuration for Portainer
- **Features**:
  - Uses pre-built Docker images from Docker Hub
  - **FIXED**: Removed problematic migration service
  - **NEW**: Migrations run automatically with app startup
  - Environment variable configuration
  - Volume persistence for data
  - Network integration with nginx-proxy-manager
  - Comprehensive logging configuration

### 4. `.dockerignore`
- **Purpose**: Exclude unnecessary files from Docker build context
- **Benefits**:
  - Faster build times
  - Smaller build context
  - Security (excludes sensitive files)

### 5. `DEPLOYMENT.md` ✅ **UPDATED**
- **Purpose**: Comprehensive deployment guide
- **NEW Sections**:
  - Detailed troubleshooting for all fixed issues
  - Migration process explanation
  - What's fixed section
  - Step-by-step verification process

### 6. `src/app/api/health/route.ts`
- **Purpose**: Health check endpoint for Docker monitoring
- **Returns**: Application status, uptime, and version info

### 7. Updated `next.config.mjs`
- **Change**: Added `output: 'standalone'` for Docker optimization
- **Benefit**: Creates a standalone Next.js build optimized for containers

## ✅ Issues Fixed

### 🚨 **Critical Build Issues RESOLVED**

#### 1. **Dependency Installation Problem**
- **Issue**: Using `npm ci --only=production` during build phase
- **Problem**: Next.js build requires devDependencies (TypeScript, Tailwind, Prisma CLI)
- **Fix**: Install all dependencies during build, production-only in final image

#### 2. **Prisma Migration Failures** 
- **Issue**: Prisma CLI not available for migrations
- **Problem**: Separate migration service wouldn't work in Portainer
- **Fix**: Integrated migrations into app startup with Prisma CLI included

#### 3. **Health Check Failures**
- **Issue**: Using `curl` command without installing curl
- **Problem**: Alpine images don't include curl by default
- **Fix**: Explicitly install curl in Dockerfile

#### 4. **Portainer Compatibility Issues**
- **Issue**: Migration service using local file mounts
- **Problem**: Portainer can't access local files like `./prisma`
- **Fix**: Removed separate migration service, integrated into main app

- Domain-based routing
- Let's Encrypt integration

## Architecture Overview

```
Internet
    ↓
nginx-proxy-manager (SSL termination, domain routing)
    ↓
taskboard-app (Next.js application on port 3000)
    ↓ (automatic migration on startup)
taskboard-postgres (PostgreSQL database on port 5432)
```

## How Migrations Work Now ✅

### **Startup Process:**
1. Container starts
2. **Runs database migrations automatically**
3. Starts Next.js application
4. Health checks begin

### **Migration Command:**
```bash
npx prisma migrate deploy || echo "Migration failed, but continuing..."
```

### **Logs to Monitor:**
```bash
docker logs taskboard-app
# Will show:
# Running database migrations...
# Environment variables loaded from .env
# Prisma schema loaded from prisma/schema.prisma
# Starting application...
```

## Networks
- `nginx-proxy-manager_default`: External network for proxy access
- `taskboard-network`: Internal network for app-database communication

## Volumes
- `postgres_data`: PostgreSQL data persistence
- `app_uploads`: File uploads storage
- `app_logs`: Application logs storage

## Deployment Process ✅ **SIMPLIFIED**

```bash
# 1. Build image
docker build -t yourusername/taskboard:latest .

# 2. Push to Docker Hub
docker login
docker push yourusername/taskboard:latest

# 3. Deploy in Portainer
# - Copy portainer-stack.yml content
# - Set environment variables
# - Deploy stack

# 4. Verify
docker logs taskboard-app  # Check migration logs
curl https://yourdomain.com/api/health  # Test health
```

## Environment Variables Required

Your existing `.env` file should contain these variables:

| Variable | Description | Example | Required |
|----------|-------------|---------|----------|
| `POSTGRES_PASSWORD` | Database password | `secure_password_123` | ✅ |
| `NEXTAUTH_URL` | Application URL | `https://taskboard.yourdomain.com` | ✅ |
| `AUTH_SECRET` | NextAuth secret | `32+ character random string` | ✅ |
| `DOCKER_IMAGE` | Docker image name | `yourusername/taskboard:latest` | ✅ |
| `VIRTUAL_HOST` | Domain for proxy | `taskboard.yourdomain.com` | ✅ |
| `LETSENCRYPT_HOST` | SSL certificate domain | `taskboard.yourdomain.com` | ✅ |
| `LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL` | Email for SSL cert | `admin@yourdomain.com` | ✅ |
| `AUTHENTIK_ID` | Authentik client ID | `your_client_id` | ❌ |
| `AUTHENTIK_SECRET` | Authentik client secret | `your_client_secret` | ❌ |

## What Was Wrong Before vs Now ✅

| Issue | Before | Now |
|-------|--------|-----|
| **Dependencies** | Production only during build ❌ | All deps for build, production for runtime ✅ |
| **Migrations** | Separate failing service ❌ | Integrated startup migrations ✅ |
| **Health Checks** | Missing curl command ❌ | Curl properly installed ✅ |
| **Prisma CLI** | Not available ❌ | Available for migrations ✅ |
| **Portainer Compatibility** | Local file mounts ❌ | No local dependencies ✅ |
