Fix deploy config to match the actual VPS (Caddy, not Traefik)

The server fronts everything with Caddy (container root-caddy-1), has no
Dockge and no Traefik, and keeps compose stacks in /docker — not
/opt/stacks. Every traefik.* label in this compose file was inert, so the
container would build and run while never being routed.

Join the external `web` network Caddy is on so it can reach the container
by name (info-share-spot:3000) and publish no host port. Routing now
lives in /root/Caddyfile on the server.

Rewrite DEPLOY.md against the real topology, including the Caddyfile
validate-before-reload step — a bad Caddyfile takes down every site on
the box, and Caddy serves a stale in-memory config until something
reloads it, which hides the breakage until the next restart.

# Deploying to a Hostinger VPS (Docker + Dockge + Traefik)
# Deploying to the avriahost VPS (Docker + Caddy)
This app is a TanStack Start (SSR) app. The Docker build produces a self-contained
Node server (`.output/server/index.mjs`) via the Nitro `node-server` preset and runs
it in a container. Traefik sits in front and gives it automatic HTTPS.
it in a container on port 3000. **Caddy** sits in front and gives it automatic HTTPS.
## 0. One-time: install the catalog apps
> Earlier revisions of this file described a Hostinger-catalog Docker + Dockge +
> Traefik setup. That is **not** what the server runs. There is no Dockge and no
> Traefik on this box, and `traefik.*` compose labels are silently ignored by
> Caddy — the container builds and runs perfectly while never being routed.
From hPanel → VPS → your server → **Catalog**, install:
## The actual server
1. **Docker** (base engine)
2. **Traefik** (reverse proxy + Let's Encrypt HTTPS)
3. **Dockge** (web UI to manage compose stacks + logs)
| | |
|---|---|
| Host | `2.25.155.250` (`srv1720881.hstgr.cloud`), hostname `avriahost`, Ubuntu 24.04 |
| Reverse proxy | Caddy, container `root-caddy-1`, owns :80/:443, automatic Let's Encrypt |
| Caddy config | `/root/Caddyfile` (compose project dir `/root`) |
| Compose stacks | `/docker/<name>` — **not** `/opt/stacks` |
| This stack | `/docker/info-share-spot` |
| Public URL | https://info-share-spot.srv1720881.hstgr.cloud |
| Git host | self-hosted Gitea at `http://2.25.155.250:32774` (SSH on port 44139) |
## 1. Point your domain at the VPS
Caddy shares the external `web` Docker network with this app, so it reaches the
container **by name** — `info-share-spot:3000`. The app therefore publishes no
host port at all.
In your DNS (Hostinger → Domains → DNS), add an **A record** for the subdomain you
want (e.g. `app.yourdomain.com`) pointing at the VPS's public IP. Wait for it to
resolve before step 4 (Let's Encrypt needs it).
## Routing
## 2. Find your Traefik values
The route lives in `/root/Caddyfile`:
The compose file has 3 placeholders to match to your Traefik install. On the VPS:
```bash
# Traefik's docker network name (what to put for the `traefik` network):
docker network ls | grep -i traefik
# Traefik's entrypoint + certresolver names (look in its config/labels):
docker inspect traefik | grep -iE "entrypoints|certresolver|acme"
```caddyfile
info-share-spot.srv1720881.hstgr.cloud {
reverse_proxy info-share-spot:3000
}
```
Typical values are network `traefik`, entrypoint `websecure`, resolver `letsencrypt`,
but **use whatever your install shows.** Edit `docker-compose.yml` accordingly and set
your real domain in the `Host(...)` rule.
## 3. Get the code onto the VPS as a Dockge stack
Dockge watches `/opt/stacks`. Clone the repo into a stack folder:
Always validate before reloading — a bad Caddyfile takes down *every* site on the
box, and Caddy keeps serving a stale in-memory config until something reloads it,
which hides the breakage until the next restart:
```bash
cd /opt/stacks
git clone https://github.com/renee-png/info-share-spot.git
docker exec root-caddy-1 caddy validate --config /etc/caddy/Caddyfile --adapter caddyfile
docker exec -w /etc/caddy root-caddy-1 caddy reload --config /etc/caddy/Caddyfile --adapter caddyfile
```
The committed `.env` already holds the (public-safe) `SUPABASE_URL` and
`SUPABASE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY` that compose passes to the container at runtime.
## 4. Deploy in Dockge
1. Open Dockge → the `info-share-spot` stack appears automatically.
2. Confirm the 3 edited Traefik labels + domain look right.
3. Click **Deploy** (this runs `docker compose up -d --build`).
First build takes a few minutes (installs deps + builds). When it's up, visit
`https://app.yourdomain.com` — Traefik will have issued the TLS cert.
## 5. Create your admin account
The database (Supabase EDU project) is already migrated and empty, so the **first**
account you create at `/auth → Create account` becomes the **admin**.
## Updating later
## Deploying an update
```bash
cd /opt/stacks/info-share-spot
cd /docker/info-share-spot
git pull
docker compose up -d --build
```
Then in Dockge hit **Deploy** again (rebuilds the image and restarts). That's your
push-to-server loop: `git push` locally → `git pull` + Deploy on the VPS.
First build takes a few minutes (`bun install` + Vite/Nitro SSR build on 2 cores).
**`git pull` needs credentials**: the Gitea repo is private, so the VPS needs its
own read-only deploy key. The public key is at `/root/.ssh/gitea_deploy.pub`; add
it under the repo's Settings → Deploy Keys (read-only), then point the remote at
SSH:
```bash
git remote set-url origin ssh://git@2.25.155.250:44139/admin/info-share-spot.git
```
Until that key is installed, push code up from a workstation instead:
```bash
rsync -az --exclude .env.secret /path/to/info-share-spot/ root@2.25.155.250:/docker/info-share-spot/
ssh root@2.25.155.250 'chown -R root:root /docker/info-share-spot'
```
## Environment
- The committed `.env` holds only the **public-safe** `SUPABASE_URL` and
`SUPABASE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY` (the publishable key is designed for browsers).
Compose substitutes them from that file at build and run time.
- Real secrets go in `.env.secret` next to the compose file — gitignored, loaded
by compose if present, never committed. Add `SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY` there
if you later use the server-side admin client.
- Supabase project is `qgmcpounpkgsjlwosjdi`. Note this is a **different** project
from the ACMACC one used by the avria.cloud app — don't cross the wires.
## Notes
- **Google sign-in** still needs the Google provider enabled in the Supabase EDU
dashboard (Auth → Providers) and your production URL added under Auth → URL
Configuration. Email/password works without any of that.
- **Container port** is 3000 (Traefik routes to it; you don't expose it publicly).
- **Service-role key**: not required. If you later use the server-side admin client,
add `SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY` via Dockge's env editor — never commit it.
- **Google sign-in** needs the Google provider enabled in the Supabase dashboard
(Auth → Providers) and the production URL added under Auth → URL Configuration.
Email/password works without any of that.
- The **first** account created at `/auth` becomes the admin. This has already
happened on this project.
- `edu.avriahost.com` on this server returns 502 — it proxies to
`host.docker.internal:8080` and nothing listens there. Unrelated to this app.
