Docker in this unprivileged Proxmox LXC was broken two independent ways: AppArmor could not load the docker-default profile, so the daemon could not start any new container, and runc could not set the net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start sysctl, which is why every service needed network_mode: host. `docker build` was impossible outright since Docker 29 removed the classic builder. The stack only survived because the containers predated the breakage - a reboot would have left the app down, and nothing could be redeployed. Postgres, MinIO and the app now run natively under systemd. Deploys build out-of-place into releases/<sha> and swap a symlink, so the build happens while the old release keeps serving and downtime is the ~3s restart rather than the ~3min build. Rollback is the same swap in reverse with no rebuild. Dockerfile and docker-compose.prod.yml are unchanged and still work on a normal host; the compose app service gains `build: .` so it can come up on a VPS that cannot reach the LAN-only Gitea registry. Documents three traps found during the migration: rewrites() in next.config.mjs is evaluated at build time so MINIO_ENDPOINT changes silently do nothing, prisma migrate deploy would fail because production has no _prisma_migrations table, and the image proxy relies on the bucket's anonymous-download policy.

description: Deploy drinktracker to the production LXC and verify it came back healthy. Use when asked to deploy, ship, release, push to prod, or update the running app - and after merging changes that need to go live. Also covers rollback and diagnosing a deploy that did not take effect.

# Deploying drinktracker
|
|
|
|
Run `./deploy/deploy.sh` from the repo root (`--yes` to skip the prompt when the user has
|
|
already approved). It typechecks, pushes to Gitea, builds natively on the LXC into
|
|
`releases/<sha>`, swaps the `current` symlink, restarts, and polls until healthy.
|
|
`./deploy/deploy.sh --rollback` repoints at the previous release in ~3 seconds with no rebuild.
|
|
|
|
`deploy/README.md` has the full topology, backup/restore, and manual verification commands.
|
|
|
|
**The app runs natively under systemd. There is no Docker on this host.**
|
|
|
|
## Facts not discoverable from the repo
|
|
|
|
- **The LXC is `192.168.2.169`.** `drinktracker.tenseconddelay.net` and `NEXTAUTH_URL` resolve
|
|
to the reverse proxy at `192.168.2.172`. SSHing there fails in a way that looks like a
|
|
rejected key but is a different machine entirely.
|
|
- **Access:** `ssh -i ~/.ssh/drinktracker_ed25519 drinkadmin@192.168.2.169`. Root SSH is
|
|
disabled. Confirm what's live with `readlink /opt/drinktracker/current`.
|
|
- **Layout:** app `/opt/drinktracker/{repo,releases/<sha>,current}`, service user
|
|
`drinktracker`, secrets `/etc/drinktracker/drinktracker.env`, units `drinktracker`,
|
|
`minio`, `postgresql@16-main`.
|
|
- **Database is `drinkman`, user `drinkdb`** — not `drinktracker`/`drinktracker`.
|
|
- **No CI.** `git push` updates the Gitea repo and nothing else. If someone reports "I pushed
|
|
but nothing changed", this is why.
|
|
|
|
## Three things that will bite you
|
|
|
|
**`next.config.mjs` evaluates `rewrites()` at build time.** The `/minio-images/:path*`
|
|
destination is baked into `routes-manifest.json` as `http://localhost:9000/drink-images/:path*`.
|
|
Changing `MINIO_ENDPOINT` in the env file looks like it works and does nothing; images break
|
|
only after the next rebuild. MinIO must stay on `localhost:9000`. For the same reason the
|
|
deploy builds *without* sourcing the env file, exactly as the Dockerfile does — don't "fix" that.
|
|
|
|
**`prisma db push`, never `migrate deploy`.** Production has no `_prisma_migrations` table, so
|
|
`migrate deploy` would try to apply `20260228220749_init` against 16 populated tables and fail.
|
|
This is the obvious-looking modernization that breaks production.
|
|
|
|
**`--accept-data-loss` drops columns.** Removing a field from `schema.prisma` deletes the column
|
|
and its data on the next deploy, in both directions — so rolling back past a schema change is
|
|
destructive too. The deploy script dumps to `/var/backups/drinktracker/pre-<sha>.sql.gz` first.
|
|
This is also why `UserPreference.defaultProvider` is still in the schema despite being unused.
|
|
|
|
Manual dump: `sudo -u postgres pg_dump drinkman > ~/dt-$(date +%F).sql`
|
|
|
|
## Verifying
|
|
|
|
An unauthenticated request to port 3000 returns **307** (redirect to `/login`) — healthy, not a
|
|
failure. The script accepts 200, 302 and 307.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo journalctl -u drinktracker | grep '\[switchboard\]'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Each AI call emits one line with the model and cost. `FAILOVER` lines are expected and harmless:
|
|
the gateway's `:batch` model variants fail on every request and fall back. `CONTEXT OVERFLOW`
|
|
means a request exceeded every model's window and may have been truncated — worth investigating.
|
|
|
|
## If the app does not come back
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
systemctl status drinktracker
|
|
sudo journalctl -u drinktracker -n 100
|
|
systemctl is-active postgresql@16-main minio
|
|
readlink /opt/drinktracker/current
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Most likely, in order: the build failed and the symlink still points at the old release (so the
|
|
app is fine, the deploy just didn't take); `/etc/drinktracker/drinktracker.env` is missing a
|
|
variable the new code reads (compare against `.env.example`); or postgres/minio didn't start,
|
|
which `is-active` shows immediately.
|
|
|
|
Note the systemd unit deliberately omits `MemoryDenyWriteExecute` (it breaks the V8 JIT) and
|
|
includes `AF_NETLINK` in `RestrictAddressFamilies` (Next needs it at startup). If you harden
|
|
that unit further and the app stops booting, those are the two to suspect.
|
|
|
|
## Docker
|
|
|
|
`Dockerfile` and `docker-compose.prod.yml` are kept for running this app on a VPS and still work
|
|
on a normal Docker host. They cannot work on this LXC: unprivileged-LXC nesting breaks AppArmor
|
|
profile loading and the `net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start` sysctl, and `docker build` is
|
|
impossible since Docker 29 removed the classic builder. Docker is installed but disabled; old
|
|
containers and volumes are retained until 2026-09-07 as a rollback path.
