📋 Prerequisites

Server Requirements

OS: Ubuntu 22.04+ / Debian 12+ / Alpine Linux
CPU: 2+ vCPUs
RAM: 4GB+ (2GB minimum for app + DB)
Disk: 20GB+ SSD
Network: Public IPv4/IPv6, ports 80, 443, 22

Software

Docker 24+ & Docker Compose 2+
Git
Certbot (Let's Encrypt)
(Optional) kubectl for Kubernetes

🔧 Server Setup

1. Initial Server Hardening

# Update system
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

# Create deploy user
sudo adduser deploy --gecos "" --disabled-password
sudo usermod -aG docker deploy
sudo usermod -aG sudo deploy

# Setup SSH keys (from your local machine)
ssh-copy-id deploy@your-server-ip

# Configure firewall
sudo ufw allow 22/tcp    # SSH
sudo ufw allow 80/tcp    # HTTP
sudo ufw allow 443/tcp   # HTTPS
sudo ufw enable

2. Install Docker

# Install Docker
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sh

# Install Docker Compose
sudo apt install -y docker-compose-plugin

# Verify
docker --version
docker compose version

3. Install Certbot

sudo apt install -y certbot python3-certbot-nginx

📦 Application Deployment

1. Clone Repository

cd /opt
sudo git clone https://github.com/dnoulet/go-first.git
sudo chown -R deploy:deploy go-first
cd go-first

2. Configure Environment

# Copy production template
cp .env.production.example .env.production

# Edit with your values (use strong passwords!)
vim .env.production

# Required changes:
# - DATABASE_PASSWORD: Strong random password
# - JWT_SECRET: 32+ char random string
# - EMAIL_*: Your SMTP credentials

3. Generate SSL Certificates

# Stop any service on port 80
sudo systemctl stop nginx 2>/dev/null || true

# Get certificates
sudo certbot certonly --standalone \
  -d www.urpi.be \
  -d urpi.be \
  --email contact@urpi.be \
  --agree-tos --non-interactive

# Certificates will be at:
# /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.urpi.be/fullchain.pem
# /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.urpi.be/privkey.pem

4. Setup NGINX SSL Directory

sudo mkdir -p /opt/go-first/deploy/ssl
sudo cp /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.urpi.be/fullchain.pem /opt/go-first/deploy/ssl/
sudo cp /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.urpi.be/privkey.pem /opt/go-first/deploy/ssl/
sudo chown -R deploy:deploy /opt/go-first/deploy/ssl

5. Deploy with Docker Compose

cd /opt/go-first

# Build and start
docker compose --env-file .env.production up -d --build

# Verify
docker compose --env-file .env.production ps
docker compose --env-file .env.production logs -f app

6. Verify Deployment

# Health check
curl -f https://www.urpi.be/api/v1/health

# Check frontend
curl -f https://www.urpi.be/ | grep -c "URPI"

🔐 SSL Certificate Renewal

Automatic Renewal (systemd timer)

# Check certbot timer
sudo systemctl status certbot.timer

# Test renewal
sudo certbot renew --dry-run

Manual Renewal Hook

# Create renewal hook
sudo tee /etc/letsencrypt/renewal-hooks/deploy/nginx-reload.sh > /dev/null <<'EOF'
#!/bin/bash
cp /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.urpi.be/fullchain.pem /opt/go-first/deploy/ssl/
cp /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.urpi.be/privkey.pem /opt/go-first/deploy/ssl/
docker compose -f /opt/go-first/docker-compose.yml --env-file /opt/go-first/.env.production exec nginx nginx -s reload
EOF

sudo chmod +x /etc/letsencrypt/renewal-hooks/deploy/nginx-reload.sh

🗄️ Database Management

Backup

# Create backup script
cat > /opt/go-first/backup.sh <<'EOF'
#!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail

BACKUP_DIR="/opt/backups/go-first"
DATE=$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)
mkdir -p "$BACKUP_DIR"

docker compose -f /opt/go-first/docker-compose.yml --env-file /opt/go-first/.env.production \
  exec -T postgres pg_dump -U postgres go_first | gzip > "$BACKUP_DIR/go_first_$DATE.sql.gz"

# Keep last 30 days
find "$BACKUP_DIR" -name "*.sql.gz" -mtime +30 -delete

echo "Backup saved to $BACKUP_DIR/go_first_$DATE.sql.gz"
EOF

chmod +x /opt/go-first/backup.sh

# Add to crontab (daily at 2 AM)
(crontab -l 2>/dev/null; echo "0 2 * * * /opt/go-first/backup.sh") | crontab -

Restore

# Stop app
docker compose -f /opt/go-first/docker-compose.yml --env-file /opt/go-first/.env.production stop app

# Restore
gunzip -c /opt/backups/go-first/go_first_20240115_020000.sql.gz | \
  docker compose -f /opt/go-first/docker-compose.yml --env-file /opt/go-first/.env.production exec -T postgres psql -U postgres go_first

# Start app
docker compose -f /opt/go-first/docker-compose.yml --env-file /opt/go-first/.env.production start app

📊 Monitoring & Logging

Log Aggregation (Optional: Loki + Promtail)

# Add to docker-compose.yml
services:
  promtail:
    image: grafana/promtail:2.9
    volumes:
      - /var/log:/var/log
      - /opt/go-first/deploy/promtail.yml:/etc/promtail/config.yml
    depends_on:
      - loki

  loki:
    image: grafana/loki:2.9
    volumes:
      - loki_data:/loki

Health Checks

# Application health
curl https://www.urpi.be/api/v1/health

# Database
docker compose exec postgres pg_isready -U postgres

# Redis
docker compose exec redis redis-cli ping

# NGINX
docker compose exec nginx nginx -t

Metrics (Optional: Prometheus + Grafana)

Add to docker-compose.yml:

  prometheus:

Zero-Downtime Deploy (with multiple replicas)

# In docker-compose.yml, add:
deploy:
  replicas: 2
  update_config:
    parallelism: 1
    delay: 10s
    order: start-first
  restart_policy:
    condition: on-failure

🚨 Troubleshooting

Application Won't Start

# Check logs
docker compose --env-file .env.production logs app

# Common issues:
# - Port 8080 already in use
# - Database connection failed
# - Config file missing
# - Permission denied on volumes

502 Bad Gateway

# Check if app is healthy
docker compose --env-file .env.production ps app

# Check NGINX config
docker compose --env-file .env.production exec nginx nginx -t

# Check upstream
docker compose --env-file .env.production exec nginx curl -f http://app:8080/api/v1/health

SSL Certificate Issues

# Check certificate validity
openssl x509 -in /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.urpi.be/fullchain.pem -text -noout

# Check NGINX SSL config
docker compose --env-file .env.production exec nginx nginx -T | grep ssl

Database Connection Issues

# Test connection
docker compose --env-file .env.production exec postgres psql -U postgres -d go_first -c "SELECT 1;"

# Check credentials in .env.production match docker-compose.yml
