# Recticel Quality Application - Docker Solution Summary

## 📦 What Has Been Created

A complete, production-ready Docker deployment solution for your Recticel Quality Application with the following components:

### Core Files Created

1. **`Dockerfile`** - Multi-stage Flask application container
   - Based on Python 3.10-slim
   - Installs all dependencies from requirements.txt
   - Configures Gunicorn WSGI server
   - Exposes port 8781

2. **`docker-compose.yml`** - Complete orchestration configuration
   - MariaDB 11.3 database service
   - Flask web application service
   - Automatic networking between services
   - Health checks for both services
   - Volume persistence for database and logs

3. **`docker-entrypoint.sh`** - Smart initialization script
   - Waits for database to be ready
   - Creates database configuration file
   - Runs database schema initialization
   - Seeds superadmin user
   - Starts the application

4. **`init-db.sql`** - MariaDB initialization

### Enhanced Files

10. **`setup_complete_database.py`** - Updated to support Docker
    - Now reads from environment variables
    - Fallback to config file for non-Docker deployments
    - Maintains backward compatibility

## 🎯 Key Features

### 1. Single-Command Deployment
```bash
./deploy.sh
```
This single command will:
- ✅ Build Docker images
- ✅ Create MariaDB database
- ✅ Initialize all database tables and triggers
- ✅ Seed superadmin user
- ✅ Start the application

### 2. Complete Isolation
- Application runs in its own container
- Database runs in its own container
- No system dependencies needed except Docker
- No Python/MariaDB installation on host required

### 3. Data Persistence
- Database data persists across restarts (Docker volume)
- Application logs accessible on host
- Configuration preserved

### 4. Production Ready
- Gunicorn WSGI server (not Flask dev server)
- Health checks for monitoring
- Automatic restart on failure
- Proper logging configuration
- Resource isolation

### 5. Easy Management
```bash
# Start
docker compose up -d

# Stop
docker compose down

# View logs
docker compose logs -f

# Backup database
make backup-db

# Restore database
make restore-db BACKUP=backup_20231215.sql

# Access shell
make shell

# Complete reset
make reset
```

## 🚀 Deployment Options

### Option 1: Quick Deploy (Recommended for Testing)
```bash
cd /srv/quality_recticel
./deploy.sh
```

### Option 2: Using Makefile (Recommended for Management)
```bash
cd /srv/quality_recticel
make install    # First time only
make up         # Start services
make logs       # Monitor
```

### Option 3: Using Docker Compose Directly
```bash
cd /srv/quality_recticel
cp .env.example .env
docker compose up -d --build
```

## 📋 Prerequisites

The deployment **requires** Docker to be installed on the target system:

### Installing Docker on Ubuntu/Debian:
```bash
# Update package index
sudo apt-get update

# Install dependencies
sudo apt-get install -y ca-certificates curl gnupg

# Add Docker's official GPG key
sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg
sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg

# Set up the repository
echo \
  "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
  $(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME") stable" | \
  sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null

# Install Docker Engine
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin

# Add current user to docker group (optional, to run without sudo)
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
```

After installation, log out and back in for group changes to take effect.

### Installing Docker on CentOS/RHEL:
```bash
sudo yum install -y yum-utils
sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo
sudo yum install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
```

## 🔐 Security Features

1. **Database Isolation**: Database not exposed to host by default (can be configured)
2. **Password Management**: All passwords in `.env` file (not committed to git)
3. **User Permissions**: Proper MariaDB user with limited privileges
4. **Network Isolation**: Services communicate on private Docker network
5. **Production Mode**: Flask runs in production mode with Gunicorn

## 📊 What Gets Deployed

### Database Schema
All tables from `setup_complete_database.py`:
- `scan1_orders` - First scan orders
- `scanfg_orders` - Final goods scan orders
- `order_for_labels` - Label orders
- `warehouse_locations` - Warehouse locations
- `permissions` - Permission system
- `role_permissions` - Role-based access
- `role_hierarchy` - Role hierarchy
- `permission_audit_log` - Audit logging
- Plus SQLAlchemy tables: `users`, `roles`

### Initial Data
- Superadmin user: `superadmin` / `superadmin123`

### Application Features
- Complete Flask web application
- Gunicorn WSGI server (4-8 workers depending on CPU)
- Static file serving
- Session management
- Database connection pooling

## 🔄 Migration from Existing Deployment

If you have an existing non-Docker deployment:

### 1. Backup Current Data
```bash
# Backup database
mysqldump -u trasabilitate -p trasabilitate > backup.sql

# Backup any uploaded files or custom data
cp -r py_app/instance backup_instance/
```

### 2. Deploy Docker Solution
```bash
cd /srv/quality_recticel
./deploy.sh
```

### 3. Restore Data (if needed)
```bash
# Restore database
docker compose exec -T db mariadb -u trasabilitate -pInitial01! trasabilitate < backup.sql
```

### 4. Stop Old Service
```bash
# Stop systemd service
sudo systemctl stop trasabilitate
sudo systemctl disable trasabilitate
```

- [ ] Can log in with superadmin
- [ ] Database contains tables: `make shell-db` then `SHOW TABLES;`
- [ ] Logs are being written: `ls -la logs/`
- [ ] Can restart services: `docker compose restart`
- [ ] Data persists after restart

## 🆘 Support Commands

```bash
# View all services
docker compose ps

# View logs
docker compose logs -f

# Restart a specific service
docker compose restart web

# Access web container shell
docker compose exec web bash

# Access database
docker compose exec db mariadb -u trasabilitate -p

# Check resource usage
docker stats

# Remove everything and start fresh
docker compose down -v
./deploy.sh
```

## 📝 Next Steps
