🚀 Quick Start Guide

Step 1: Database Setup

# Run the migration to create the https_config table
python /app/migrations/add_https_config_table.py

# Or automatically with the setup script
bash setup_https.sh

Step 2: Start the Application (HTTP Only)

docker-compose up -d

Step 3: Configure HTTPS via Admin Panel

1. Log in as admin
2. Go to: Admin Panel → 🔒 HTTPS Configuration
3. Toggle "Enable HTTPS"
4. Fill in:
   • Hostname: digiserver
   • Domain: digiserver.sibiusb.harting.intra
   • IP Address: 10.76.152.164
   • Port: 443 (default)
5. Click "Save HTTPS Configuration"

Step 4: Verify Access

• HTTPS: https://digiserver.sibiusb.harting.intra
• HTTP Fallback: http://10.76.152.164

📋 Workflow Explanation

Initial State (HTTP Only)

┌─────────────────┐
│ App Running on  │
│ Port 80 (HTTP)  │
└────────┬────────┘
         │
         └─ Accessible at: http://10.76.152.164

After Configuration (HTTP + HTTPS)

┌──────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Admin Configures HTTPS Settings:     │
│ • Hostname: digiserver               │
│ • Domain: digiserver...intra          │
│ • IP: 10.76.152.164                  │
│ • Port: 443                          │
└──────────────┬───────────────────────┘
