# Production Server Setup Guide
This guide will help you set up your production server for automated deployment from GitHub Actions.
## Prerequisites
- A Linux server (Ubuntu 20.04+ recommended)
- SSH access to the server
- Domain name pointing to your server (optional)
## Step 1: Connect to Your Server
```bash
ssh your-username@your-server-ip
```
## Step 2: Update System
```bash
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
```
## Step 3: Install Docker and Docker Compose
```bash
# Install Docker
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
sudo sh get-docker.sh
# Add your user to docker group
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
# Install Docker Compose
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/latest/download/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
# Logout and login again to apply group changes
exit
# Then reconnect via SSH
```
## Step 4: Install Git
```bash
sudo apt install git -y
```
## Step 5: Set Up Project Directory
```bash
# Create project directory
sudo mkdir -p /opt/stiftung
sudo chown deployment:deployment /opt/stiftung
cd /opt/stiftung
# Clone your repository (the deployment user with SSH key will handle this)
# If you have SSH key configured for the deployment user:
git clone git@github.com:remmerinio/stiftung-management-system.git .
# Alternative: If you need to use HTTPS with Personal Access Token:
# git clone https://github.com/remmerinio/stiftung-management-system.git .
# Copy environment template
cp env-template.txt app/.env
```
## Step 6: Configure Environment Variables
Edit the production environment file:
```bash
nano app/.env
```
Add these settings (replace with your actual values):
```env
# Django Settings
DJANGO_DEBUG=0
DJANGO_SECRET_KEY=your-very-long-secret-key-here
DJANGO_ALLOWED_HOSTS=your-domain.com,your-server-ip
LANGUAGE_CODE=de
TIME_ZONE=Europe/Berlin
# Database Settings
POSTGRES_DB=stiftung_prod
POSTGRES_USER=stiftung_user
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=your-secure-database-password
DB_HOST=db
DB_PORT=5432
# Redis Settings
REDIS_URL=redis://redis:6379/0
CELERY_BROKER_URL=redis://redis:6379/0
CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND=redis://redis:6379/0
# Email Settings (optional)
EMAIL_HOST=smtp.your-provider.com
EMAIL_PORT=587
EMAIL_HOST_USER=your-email@example.com
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD=your-email-password
EMAIL_USE_TLS=1
# Paperless-ngx Integration (if you're using Paperless)
# PAPERLESS_API_URL=http://your-paperless-server:port
# PAPERLESS_API_TOKEN=your-paperless-api-token
# PAPERLESS_REQUIRED_TAG=Your_Required_Tag
# PAPERLESS_LAND_TAG=Your_Land_Tag
# PAPERLESS_ADMIN_TAG=Your_Admin_Tag
# PAPERLESS_DESTINATAERE_TAG_ID=123
# PAPERLESS_LAND_TAG_ID=456
# PAPERLESS_ADMIN_TAG_ID=789
# Gramps Integration (if you're using GrampsWeb)
# GRAMPS_URL=http://your-gramps-server:port
# GRAMPS_USERNAME=your-gramps-username
# GRAMPS_PASSWORD=your-gramps-password
```
## Step 7: Set Up Production Docker Compose
Copy the production Docker Compose file to the project root:
```bash
cp deploy-production/docker-compose.prod.yml .
```
## Step 8: Generate Strong Secret Key
```bash
python3 -c "from django.core.management.utils import get_random_secret_key; print(get_random_secret_key())"
```
Use this output as your `DJANGO_SECRET_KEY` in the `.env` file.
## Step 9: Set Up SSL/HTTPS (Recommended)
If you have a domain name, set up SSL certificates:
```bash
# Install Certbot
sudo apt install snapd
sudo snap install core; sudo snap refresh core
sudo snap install --classic certbot
# Create certificate
sudo certbot certonly --standalone -d your-domain.com
# The certificates will be in /etc/letsencrypt/live/your-domain.com/
```
## Step 10: Configure Firewall
```bash
# Enable firewall
sudo ufw enable
# Allow SSH
sudo ufw allow ssh
# Allow HTTP and HTTPS
sudo ufw allow 80
sudo ufw allow 443
# Check status
sudo ufw status
```
## Step 11: Initial Deployment
Run the first deployment manually:
```bash
cd /opt/stiftung
# Build and start containers
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d --build
# Run initial migrations
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml exec web python manage.py migrate
# Create superuser
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml exec web python manage.py createsuperuser
# Collect static files
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml exec web python manage.py collectstatic --noinput
```
## Step 12: Test the Deployment
Visit your server IP or domain name to verify the application is running.
## Step 13: Enable Automatic Deployment
Once your server is properly set up, you can enable automatic deployment by editing `.github/workflows/ci-cd.yml`:
Change this line:
```yaml
if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/main' && false # Disabled until production server is set up
```
To:
```yaml
if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'
```
## Troubleshooting
### If deployment fails:
1. **Check Docker status:**
```bash
sudo systemctl status docker
```
2. **Check container logs:**
```bash
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs
```
3. **Restart services:**
```bash
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml restart
```
### Common Issues:
- **Permission denied**: Make sure your user is in the docker group
- **Port conflicts**: Check if ports 80/443 are already in use
- **Database connection**: Verify your database settings in `.env`
- **Static files**: Ensure the web server can access static files
## Monitoring and Maintenance
### Check application status:
```bash
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml ps
```
### View logs:
```bash
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs -f web
```
### Update the application:
```bash
cd /opt/stiftung
git pull origin main
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml pull
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d
```
### Backup database:
```bash
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml exec db pg_dump -U stiftung_user stiftung_prod > backup_$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S).sql
```
## Security Recommendations
1. **Keep system updated:**
```bash
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
```
2. **Use strong passwords** for database and admin accounts
3. **Enable fail2ban** to prevent brute force attacks:
```bash
sudo apt install fail2ban
```
4. **Regular backups** of your database and media files
5. **Monitor logs** for suspicious activity
## Next Steps
After completing this setup:
1. Test the deployment pipeline by making a commit to the main branch
2. Set up monitoring and alerting for your application
3. Configure regular automated backups
4. Set up a staging environment for testing
Your production server is now ready for automated deployment from GitHub Actions!
