# Production Deployment Readiness Report ## 📋 Executive Summary **Status**: ⚠️ **MOSTLY READY** - 8/10 areas clear, 2 critical items need attention before production The application is viable for production deployment but requires: 1. ✅ Commit code changes to version control 2. ✅ Set proper environment variables 3. ✅ Verify SSL certificate strategy --- ## 📊 Detailed Assessment ### ✅ AREAS READY FOR PRODUCTION #### 1. **Docker Configuration** ✅ - ✅ Dockerfile properly configured with: - Python 3.13-slim base image (secure, minimal) - Non-root user (appuser:1000) for security - Health checks configured - All dependencies properly installed - Proper file permissions #### 2. **Dependencies** ✅ - ✅ 48 packages in requirements.txt - ✅ Latest stable versions: - Flask==3.1.0 - SQLAlchemy==2.0.37 - Flask-Cors==4.0.0 (newly added) - gunicorn==23.0.0 - All security packages up-to-date #### 3. **Database Setup** ✅ - ✅ 4 migration files exist - ✅ SQLAlchemy ORM properly configured - ✅ Database schema versioning ready #### 4. **SSL/HTTPS Configuration** ✅ - ✅ Self-signed certificate valid until 2027-01-16 - ✅ TLS 1.2 and 1.3 support enabled - ✅ nginx SSL configuration hardened #### 5. **Security Headers** ✅ - ✅ X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN - ✅ X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff - ✅ Content-Security-Policy configured - ✅ Referrer-Policy configured #### 6. **Deployment Scripts** ✅ - ✅ docker-compose.yml properly configured - ✅ docker-entrypoint.sh handles initialization - ✅ Restart policies set to "unless-stopped" - ✅ Health checks configured #### 7. **Flask Configuration** ✅ - ✅ Production config class defined - ✅ CORS enabled for API endpoints - ✅ Session security configured - ✅ ProxyFix middleware enabled #### 8. **Logging & Monitoring** ✅ - ✅ Gunicorn logging configured - ✅ Docker health checks configured - ✅ Container restart policies configured --- ## ⚠️ ISSUES REQUIRING ATTENTION ### Issue #1: Hardcoded Default Values in Config 🔴 **Location**: `app/config.py` **Problem**: ```python SECRET_KEY = os.getenv('SECRET_KEY', 'dev-secret-key-change-in-production') DEFAULT_ADMIN_PASSWORD = os.getenv('ADMIN_PASSWORD', 'Initial01!') ``` **Risk**: Default values will be used if environment variables not set **Solution** (Choose one): **Option A: Remove defaults (Recommended)** ```python SECRET_KEY = os.getenv('SECRET_KEY') # Fails fast if not set DEFAULT_ADMIN_PASSWORD = os.getenv('ADMIN_PASSWORD') ``` **Option B: Use stronger defaults** ```python import secrets SECRET_KEY = os.getenv('SECRET_KEY', secrets.token_urlsafe(32)) DEFAULT_ADMIN_PASSWORD = os.getenv('ADMIN_PASSWORD', secrets.token_urlsafe(16)) ``` --- ### Issue #2: Uncommitted Changes 🟡 **Current status**: 7 uncommitted changes ``` M app/app.py (CORS implementation) M app/blueprints/api.py (Certificate endpoint) M app/config.py (Session security) M app/extensions.py (CORS support) M nginx.conf (CORS headers) M requirements.txt (Added cryptography) ? old_code_documentation/ (New documentation) ``` **Action Required**: ```bash cd /srv/digiserver-v2 git add -A git commit -m "HTTPS improvements: Enable CORS, fix player connections, add security headers" git log --oneline -1 ``` --- ## 🚀 PRODUCTION DEPLOYMENT CHECKLIST ### Pre-Deployment (Execute in order) - [ ] **1. Commit all changes** ```bash git status git add -A git commit -m "Production-ready: HTTPS/CORS fixes" ``` - [ ] **2. Set environment variables** Create `.env` file or configure in deployment system: ```bash SECRET_KEY= ADMIN_USERNAME=admin ADMIN_PASSWORD= ADMIN_EMAIL=admin@yourdomain.com DATABASE_URL=sqlite:////path/to/db # or PostgreSQL FLASK_ENV=production DOMAIN=your-domain.com EMAIL=admin@your-domain.com ``` - [ ] **3. Update docker-compose.yml environment section** ```yaml environment: - FLASK_ENV=production - SECRET_KEY=${SECRET_KEY} - ADMIN_USERNAME=${ADMIN_USERNAME} - ADMIN_PASSWORD=${ADMIN_PASSWORD} - DATABASE_URL=${DATABASE_URL} - DOMAIN=${DOMAIN} - EMAIL=${EMAIL} ``` - [ ] **4. SSL Certificate Strategy** **Option A: Keep Self-Signed (Quick)** - Current certificate valid until 2027 - Players must accept/trust cert - Suitable for internal networks **Option B: Use Let's Encrypt (Recommended)** - Install certbot: `apt install certbot` - Generate cert: `certbot certonly --standalone -d yourdomain.com` - Copy to: `data/nginx-ssl/` - Auto-renew with systemd timer **Option C: Use Commercial Certificate** - Purchase from provider - Copy cert and key to `data/nginx-ssl/` - Update nginx.conf paths if needed - [ ] **5. Database initialization** ```bash # First run will create database docker-compose up -d # Run migrations docker-compose exec digiserver-app flask db upgrade ``` - [ ] **6. Test deployment** ```bash # Health check curl -k https://your-server/api/health # CORS headers curl -i -k https://your-server/api/playlists # Login page curl -k https://your-server/login ``` - [ ] **7. Backup database** ```bash docker-compose exec digiserver-app \ cp instance/dashboard.db /backup/dashboard.db.bak ``` - [ ] **8. Configure monitoring** - Set up log aggregation - Configure alerts for container restarts - Monitor disk space for uploads ### Post-Deployment - [ ] Verify player connections work - [ ] Test playlist fetching - [ ] Monitor error logs for 24 hours - [ ] Verify database backups are working - [ ] Set up SSL renewal automation --- ## 📦 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES REQUIRED | Variable | Purpose | Example | Required | |----------|---------|---------|----------| | `FLASK_ENV` | Flask environment | `production` | ✅ | | `SECRET_KEY` | Session encryption | `<32+ char random>` | ✅ | | `ADMIN_USERNAME` | Initial admin user | `admin` | ✅ | | `ADMIN_PASSWORD` | Initial admin password | `` | ✅ | | `ADMIN_EMAIL` | Admin email | `admin@company.com` | ✅ | | `DATABASE_URL` | Database connection | `sqlite:////data/db` | ❌ (default works) | | `DOMAIN` | Server domain | `digiserver.company.com` | ❌ (localhost default) | | `EMAIL` | SSL/Cert email | `admin@company.com` | ❌ | | `PREFERRED_URL_SCHEME` | URL scheme | `https` | ✅ (set in config) | | `TRUSTED_PROXIES` | Proxy whitelist | `10.0.0.0/8` | ✅ (set in config) | --- ## 🔒 SECURITY RECOMMENDATIONS ### Before Going Live 1. **Change all default passwords** - [ ] Admin initial password - [ ] Database password (if using external DB) 2. **Rotate SSL certificates** - [ ] Replace self-signed cert with Let's Encrypt or commercial - [ ] Set up auto-renewal 3. **Enable HTTPS only** - [ ] Redirect all HTTP to HTTPS (already configured) - [ ] Set HSTS header (consider adding) 4. **Secure the instance** - [ ] Close unnecessary ports - [ ] Firewall rules for 80 and 443 only - [ ] SSH only with key authentication - [ ] Regular security updates 5. **Database Security** - [ ] Regular backups (daily recommended) - [ ] Test backup restoration - [ ] Restrict database access 6. **Monitoring** - [ ] Enable application logging - [ ] Set up alerts for errors - [ ] Monitor resource usage - [ ] Check SSL expiration dates --- ## 🐳 DEPLOYMENT COMMANDS ### Fresh Production Deployment ```bash # 1. Clone repository git clone /opt/digiserver-v2 cd /opt/digiserver-v2 # 2. Create environment file cat > .env << 'EOF' SECRET_KEY=your-generated-secret-key-here ADMIN_USERNAME=admin ADMIN_PASSWORD=your-strong-password ADMIN_EMAIL=admin@company.com DOMAIN=your-domain.com EMAIL=admin@company.com EOF # 3.
