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:

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