# Deployment Architecture - Complete Modernization Summary **Date:** January 17, 2026 **Status:** ✅ COMPLETE & PRODUCTION READY ## What Was Accomplished ### 1. **Code Deployment Modernized (Option 1)** - ✅ Moved code into Docker image (no volume override) - ✅ Eliminated init-data.sh manual step - ✅ Cleaner separation: code (immutable image) vs data (persistent volumes) ### 2. **Legacy Code Cleaned** - ✅ Archived groups feature (not used, replaced by playlists) - ✅ Archived legacy playlist routes (redirects to content area now) - ✅ Removed unused imports and API endpoints ### 3. **Persistence Unified in /data Folder** - ✅ Moved nginx.conf to data/ - ✅ Moved nginx-custom-domains.conf to data/ - ✅ All runtime files now in single data/ folder - ✅ Clear separation: source code (git) vs runtime data (data/) --- ## Complete Architecture (NOW) ### Repository Structure (Source Code) ``` /srv/digiserver-v2/ ├── app/ # Flask application (BUILT INTO DOCKER IMAGE) ├── migrations/ # Database migrations (BUILT INTO DOCKER IMAGE) ├── Dockerfile # Copies everything above into image ├── docker-compose.yml # Container orchestration ├── requirements.txt # Python dependencies ├── .gitignore └── [other source files] # All built into image ``` ### Container Runtime Structure (/data folder) ``` data/ ├── instance/ # Database & config (PERSISTENT) │ ├── digiserver.db │ └── server.log ├── uploads/ # User uploads (PERSISTENT) │ ├── app/static/uploads/ │ └── [user files] ├── nginx.conf # Nginx main config (PERSISTENT) ✅ NEW ├── nginx-custom-domains.conf # Custom domains (PERSISTENT) ✅ NEW ├── nginx-ssl/ # SSL certificates (PERSISTENT) ├── nginx-logs/ # Web server logs (PERSISTENT) ├── certbot/ # Let's Encrypt data (PERSISTENT) ├── caddy-config/ # Caddy configurations └── [other runtime files] ``` ### Docker Container Volumes (No Code Mounts!) ```yaml digiserver-app: volumes: - ./data/instance:/app/instance # DB - ./data/uploads:/app/app/static/uploads # Uploads # ✅ NO CODE MOUNT - code is in image! nginx: volumes: - ./data/nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf # ✅ FROM data/ - ./data/nginx-custom-domains.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/custom-domains.conf # ✅ FROM data/ - ./data/nginx-ssl:/etc/nginx/ssl # Certs - ./data/nginx-logs:/var/log/nginx # Logs - ./data/certbot:/var/www/certbot # ACME ``` --- ## Deployment Flow (NOW) ### Fresh Deployment ```bash cd /srv/digiserver-v2 # 1. Prepare data folder mkdir -p data/{instance,uploads,nginx-ssl,nginx-logs,certbot} cp nginx.conf data/ cp nginx-custom-domains.conf data/ # 2. Build image (includes app code) docker-compose build # 3. Deploy docker-compose up -d # 4. Initialize database (automatic on first run) ``` ### Code Updates ```bash # 1. Get new code git pull # 2. Rebuild image (code change → new image) docker-compose build # 3. Deploy new version docker-compose up -d ``` ### Configuration Changes ```bash # Edit config in data/ (PERSISTENT) nano data/nginx.conf nano data/nginx-custom-domains.conf # Reload without full restart docker-compose restart nginx ``` --- ## Key Improvements ### ✅ Deployment Simplicity | Aspect | Before | After | |--------|--------|-------| | Manual setup step | init-data.sh required | None - auto in image | | Config location | Mixed (root + data/) | Single (data/) | | Code update process | Copy + restart | Build + restart | | Backup strategy | Multiple locations | Single data/ folder | ### ✅ Production Readiness - Immutable code in image (reproducible deployments) - Version-controlled via image tags - Easy rollback: use old image tag - CI/CD friendly: build → test → deploy ### ✅ Data Safety - All persistent data in one folder - Easy backup: `tar czf backup.tar.gz data/` - Easy restore: `tar xzf backup.tar.gz` - Clear separation from source code ### ✅ Repository Cleanliness ``` Before: After: ./nginx.conf ❌ ./data/nginx.conf ✅ ./nginx-custom-domains.conf ./data/nginx-custom-domains.conf ./init-data.sh ❌ (archived as deprecated) ./app/ ✅ ./app/ ✅ (in image) ./data/app/ ❌ (redundant) [none - in image] ``` --- ## Checklist: All Changes Deployed ✅ - [x] docker-compose.yml updated (no code volume mount) - [x] Dockerfile enhanced (code baked in) - [x] init-data.sh archived (no longer needed) - [x] Groups feature archived (legacy/unused) - [x] Playlist routes simplified (legacy redirects) - [x] Nginx configs moved to data/ folder - [x] All containers running healthy - [x] HTTP/HTTPS working - [x] Database persistent - [x] Uploads persistent - [x] Configuration persistent --- ## Testing Results ✅ ``` ✓ Docker build: SUCCESS ✓ Container startup: SUCCESS ✓ Flask app responding: SUCCESS ✓ Nginx HTTP (port 80): SUCCESS ✓ Nginx HTTPS (port 443): SUCCESS ✓ Database accessible: SUCCESS ✓ Uploads persisting: SUCCESS ✓ Logs persisting: SUCCESS ✓ Config persistence: SUCCESS ``` --- ## File References ### Migration & Implementation Docs - `old_code_documentation/OPTION1_IMPLEMENTATION.md` - Docker architecture change - `old_code_documentation/NGINX_CONFIG_MIGRATION.md` - Config file relocation - `old_code_documentation/GROUPS_ANALYSIS.md` - Archived feature - `old_code_documentation/LEGACY_PLAYLIST_ROUTES.md` - Simplified routes ### Archived Code - `old_code_documentation/init-data.sh.deprecated` - Old setup script - `old_code_documentation/blueprint_groups.py` - Groups feature - `old_code_documentation/templates_groups/` - Group templates - `old_code_documentation/playlist/` - Legacy playlist templates --- ## Next Steps (Optional Cleanup) ### Option A: Keep Root Files (Safe) ```bash # Keep nginx.conf and nginx-custom-domains.conf in root as backups # They're not used but serve as reference # Already ignored by .gitignore ``` ### Option B: Clean Repository (Recommended) ```bash # Remove root nginx files (already in data/) rm nginx.conf rm nginx-custom-domains.conf # Add to .gitignore if needed: echo "nginx.conf" >> .gitignore echo "nginx-custom-domains.conf" >> .gitignore ``` --- ## Production Deployment ### Recommended Workflow ```bash # 1. Code changes git commit -m "feature: add new UI" # 2. Build and test docker-compose build docker-compose up -d # [run tests] # 3. Tag version git tag v1.2.3 docker tag digiserver-v2-digiserver-app:latest digiserver-v2-digiserver-app:v1.2.3 # 4. Push to registry docker push myregistry/digiserver:v1.2.3 # 5. Deploy docker pull myregistry/digiserver:v1.2.3 docker-compose up -d ``` --- ## Summary Your DigiServer deployment is now: - 🚀 **Modern**: Docker best practices implemented - 📦 **Clean**: Single source of truth for each layer - 💾 **Persistent**: All data safely isolated - 🔄 **Maintainable**: Clear separation of concerns - 🏭 **Production-Ready**: Version control & rollback support - ⚡ **Fast**: No manual setup steps - 🔒 **Secure**: Immutable code in images **Status: ✅ READY FOR PRODUCTION**
