# Deployment

## Environments

- development
- test/CI
- production

## Docker Compose

Baseline services:
- frontend
- API
- worker
- PostgreSQL
- Redis
- reverse proxy

Persistent data:
- PostgreSQL data
- Redis data where needed
- image storage

## Reverse proxy

Responsible for:
- HTTPS/TLS
- routing
- compression
- security headers
- rate limiting where appropriate

## Configuration

Environment variables/secrets:
- database connection
- Redis connection
- authentication/session secrets
- provider credentials
- email credentials
- storage credentials

Application settings such as pricing strategy and site settings belong in the database.

## Backups

Back up:
- PostgreSQL
- image storage
- required environment/configuration information

Retention policy and restore procedures must be documented for production.

Disaster recovery should allow reconstruction elsewhere from database backup, image backup, and deployment/environment configuration.

## Future hosting

Initial deployment targets a home server/NAS. The architecture should allow later movement to an online server or managed infrastructure without redesigning the domain model.
