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
1. **Infrastructure Setup** (`deployment/infrastructure/`)
- Create Ansible inventories for environments
- Develop server setup playbooks
- Configure security and Docker roles
2. **Application Configuration** (`deployment/applications/`)
- Create environment-specific Docker Compose files
- Configure service networking and volumes
- Set up health checks and monitoring
3. **Script Development** (`deployment/scripts/`)
- Implement main deployment orchestration script
- Create setup and rollback automation
- Develop health monitoring tools
4. **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.
