Deployment

1. Docker Compose Services

Our docker-compose.yml runs four key services

Service	Image/Build	Role
`frontend`	`./frontend/...`	Nginx server; handles port 80 and proxies `/api` to the backend.
`backend`	`./backend/...`	The Spring Boot REST API.
`postgres`	`postgres:15`	Relational database.
`postgres-backup`	`./db_backup`	Custom service that runs automated DB dumps via crontab.

2. Maintenance Commands

To help a new dev manage the site, here are the main commands:

Start everything: docker compose up -d
Stop everything: docker compose down (you can add -v flag to delete all volumes)
View Backend Logs: docker compose logs -f backend
Check Backups: Logs are stored in ./db_backup/logs and actual dumps are in ./db_backup/backups.
Build: When in frontend/ or backend/ route directories use:
docker build . -t roboteamtwente/website-{name, e.g. "frontend"}:{version}
Pushing: First login to RoboTeam docker account on your device. Then ->
docker push roboteamtwente/website-{name, e.g. "frontend"}:{version}

3. Deployment

When you are done developing, please consider building the images of services and push them.
After that you are able to ssh into our VPS that hosts a lot of products (main landing page included).

ssh user@h2960363.stratoserver.net

You have to add your user to that VPS's whitelist beforehand in order to login.
In there:

sudo -i to switch to superuser.
cd docker to the main directory where all containers are started from.
vim docker-compose.yml and edit the used version of desired service(s) to the newest one.
docker pull roboteamtwente/name:version pull desired updated images
docker compose up -d nameOfTheContainer start the container(s)
