Pragmatic Production Deployment Setup

Architecture Overview

This deployment setup uses separate Docker Compose stacks for better maintainability and clear separation of concerns.

Infrastructure Components

Production Server (94.16.110.151)
├── Stack 1: Traefik (Reverse Proxy & SSL)
├── Stack 2: Gitea (Git Server + MySQL + Redis)
├── Stack 3: Docker Registry (Private Registry)
├── Stack 4: Application (PHP + Nginx + Redis + Queue Workers)
├── Stack 5: PostgreSQL (Database)
└── Stack 6: Monitoring (Portainer + Grafana + Prometheus)

Development Machine
└── Gitea Actions Runner (local, Docker-in-Docker)

Deployment Flow

Developer → git push
         ↓
    Gitea (Production)
         ↓
    Gitea Actions (Dev Machine)
         ↓
    Build Docker Image
         ↓
    Push to Private Registry
         ↓
    SSH/Ansible → Production Server
         ↓
    docker compose pull
         ↓
    docker compose up -d

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Production Server:

• Docker & Docker Compose installed
• Firewall configured (ports 80, 443, 2222)
• User deploy with Docker permissions
• SSH access configured

Development Machine:

• Docker & Docker Compose installed
• Ansible installed
• SSH key configured for production server

Initial Setup

1. Deploy Infrastructure Stacks (Production)

   cd deployment/stacks/traefik && docker compose up -d
   cd ../postgres && docker compose up -d
   cd ../registry && docker compose up -d
   cd ../gitea && docker compose up -d
   cd ../monitoring && docker compose up -d
   

2. Setup Gitea Runner (Development)

   cd deployment/runner
   docker compose up -d
   

3. Deploy Application

   cd deployment/ansible
   ansible-playbook -i inventory/production.yml playbooks/deploy-application.yml
   

Stack Documentation

Each stack has its own README with detailed configuration:

• Traefik - Reverse proxy setup
• Gitea - Git server configuration
• Registry - Private registry setup
• Application - Application deployment
• PostgreSQL - Database configuration
• Monitoring - Monitoring stack

Deployment Commands

Manual Deployment

./scripts/deploy.sh

Rollback to Previous Version

./scripts/rollback.sh

Update Specific Stack

cd stacks/<stack-name>
docker compose pull
docker compose up -d

CI/CD Pipeline

The CI/CD pipeline is defined in .gitea/workflows/deploy.yml and runs on push to main branch:

1. Build Stage: Build Docker image
2. Push Stage: Push to private registry
3. Deploy Stage: Deploy to production via Ansible

Monitoring

Access monitoring tools:

• Portainer: https://portainer.yourdomain.com
• Grafana: https://grafana.yourdomain.com
• Prometheus: https://prometheus.yourdomain.com

Backup & Recovery

Automated Backups

• PostgreSQL: Daily backups with 7-day retention
• Gitea Data: Weekly backups
• Registry Images: On-demand backups

Manual Backup

ansible-playbook -i inventory/production.yml playbooks/backup.yml

Restore from Backup

ansible-playbook -i inventory/production.yml playbooks/restore.yml

Security

• All external services behind Traefik with HTTPS
• Private registry with BasicAuth
• Secrets managed via Ansible Vault
• Regular security updates via Watchtower

Troubleshooting

Check Stack Health

cd stacks/<stack-name>
docker compose ps
docker compose logs -f

Check Service Connectivity

curl -I https://app.yourdomain.com
docker network inspect traefik-public

View Logs

# Application logs
docker compose -f stacks/application/docker-compose.yml logs -f app-php

# Traefik logs
docker compose -f stacks/traefik/docker-compose.yml logs -f
