Michael Schiemer 5050c7d73a docs: consolidate documentation into organized structure

- Move 12 markdown files from root to docs/ subdirectories
- Organize documentation by category:
  • docs/troubleshooting/ (1 file)  - Technical troubleshooting guides
  • docs/deployment/      (4 files) - Deployment and security documentation
  • docs/guides/          (3 files) - Feature-specific guides
  • docs/planning/        (4 files) - Planning and improvement proposals

Root directory cleanup:
- Reduced from 16 to 4 markdown files in root
- Only essential project files remain:
  • CLAUDE.md (AI instructions)
  • README.md (Main project readme)
  • CLEANUP_PLAN.md (Current cleanup plan)
  • SRC_STRUCTURE_IMPROVEMENTS.md (Structure improvements)

This improves:
✅ Documentation discoverability
✅ Logical organization by purpose
✅ Clean root directory
✅ Better maintainability

Deployment System Restructuring Complete

Summary

The deployment system has been successfully restructured from multiple scattered configurations into a modern, organized hybrid deployment system.

What Was Done

1. Backup Creation

Created .deployment-backup/ directory containing all old deployment files:

ansible/ - Multiple Ansible configurations (netcup-simple-deploy, nginx-cdn-germany, wireguard-server)
x_ansible/ - Alternative Ansible setup
ssl/ - SSL certificates for local development
bin/ - Deployment utility scripts
BACKUP_SUMMARY.md - Detailed backup documentation

2. New Structure Creation

Created modern deployment/ directory with four main components:

Infrastructure (deployment/infrastructure/)

Ansible playbooks for server setup and management
Environment-specific inventories
Reusable roles for common tasks
Configuration management via group_vars

Applications (deployment/applications/)

Docker Compose configurations per environment
Production, staging, and development setups
Service orchestration and health monitoring
Environment-specific optimizations

Scripts (deployment/scripts/)

Automated deployment orchestration
Setup, rollback, and utility scripts
Health checking and monitoring tools
Integration with infrastructure and applications

Configs (deployment/configs/)

Configuration templates for all services
Nginx, PHP, MySQL, and SSL configurations
Environment-specific template variables
Monitoring and logging configurations

Key Improvements

✅ Separation of Concerns: Clear distinction between infrastructure and application deployment
✅ Environment Management: Dedicated configurations for production, staging, development
✅ Docker Integration: Full containerization with Docker Compose
✅ Automation: Streamlined deployment workflows
✅ Configuration Management: Centralized template system
✅ Documentation: Comprehensive README files for each component

Next Steps

Infrastructure Setup (deployment/infrastructure/)
- Create Ansible inventories for environments
- Develop server setup playbooks
- Configure security and Docker roles
Application Configuration (deployment/applications/)
- Create environment-specific Docker Compose files
- Configure service networking and volumes
- Set up health checks and monitoring
Script Development (deployment/scripts/)
- Implement main deployment orchestration script
- Create setup and rollback automation
- Develop health monitoring tools
Configuration Templates (deployment/configs/)
- Create Nginx configuration templates
- Set up SSL certificate management
- Configure environment file templates

Migration Benefits

Maintainability: Organized, documented structure
Scalability: Easy to add new environments or services
Reliability: Automated testing and rollback capabilities
Security: Modern security practices and SSL management
Consistency: Standardized deployment across environments

Rollback Option

If needed, the old system can be quickly restored by moving files back from .deployment-backup/ to their original locations. See BACKUP_SUMMARY.md for detailed instructions.

Framework Integration

The new deployment system is specifically designed for the Custom PHP Framework with:

HTTPS-first configuration (framework requirement)
Docker-based architecture (current setup)
Production server targeting (94.16.110.151 with deploy user)
SSL certificate automation for framework's HTTPS requirement
Health check integration with framework's built-in endpoints

This modern deployment system provides a solid foundation for reliable, automated deployment of the Custom PHP Framework across all environments.
