## Prerequisites

| Requirement | Minimum version | Check |
|---|---|---|
| Docker | 24+ | `docker --version` |
| Docker Compose | v2 (bundled with Docker Desktop / Engine) | `docker compose version` |
| Git | any | `git --version` |

That's it for the Docker path — Node and Python are **not** needed on the host.

---

## Quick Start — Docker Compose

### 1. Clone the repo

```bash
git clone https://git.rdx4.com/youruser/bms.git
cd bms
```

### 2. Create the environment files

```bash
cp backend/.env.example backend/.env
cp frontend/.env.local.example frontend/.env.local
```

The defaults work as-is — they already match the service names in `docker-compose.yml`. **The app runs in demo mode with authentication disabled**, so there are no keys to obtain before the first run. See [Environment Variables](#environment-variables) below.

### 3. Start all services

```bash
docker compose up --build
```

The first run downloads base images and builds the containers — this takes a few minutes. On subsequent starts it is much faster:

```bash
docker compose up
```

### 4. Done

Open your browser at **http://your-server:5646**

---

## Environment Variables

> **Authentication is disabled.** The app runs in demo mode: `frontend/proxy.ts` passes every
> request through and there is no auth provider in `app/layout.tsx`. Deploy it on a trusted
> network (LAN, VPN, or behind an authenticating reverse proxy) — every route is open.
>
> To turn auth back on: reinstall `@clerk/nextjs`, wrap the tree in `<ClerkProvider>` in
> `app/layout.tsx`, restore `<UserButton />` in `components/layout/topbar.tsx`, re-add the
> `sign-in` / `sign-up` route groups, and swap `proxy.ts` for `clerkMiddleware`.

### `backend/.env`

```env
# Database — matches the db service in docker-compose.yml, no change needed
DATABASE_URL=postgresql+asyncpg://dcim:dcim_pass@db:5432/dcim

# MQTT broker — matches the mqtt service, no change needed
MQTT_HOST=mqtt
MQTT_PORT=1883

# CORS — add your frontend origin if you expose the backend directly
# Leave empty when using the built-in Next.js proxy (recommended)
CORS_ORIGINS=[]

DEBUG=true
```

### `frontend/.env.local`

```env
# API path — leave as-is, Next.js proxies /api/backend/* to the backend internally
NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=/api/backend

# Backend internal URL (used by the Next.js server-side proxy, not sent to the browser)
# In Docker: http://backend:8000    In local dev: http://localhost:8000
BACKEND_INTERNAL_URL=http://backend:8000
```

---

## Verify Everything Is Running

```bash
docker compose ps
```

All five services should show `healthy` or `running`:

```
NAME                STATUS
dcim_mqtt           running (healthy)
dcim_db             running (healthy)
dcim_backend        running (healthy)
dcim_simulators     running
dcim_frontend       running
```

Check individual logs if something looks wrong:

```bash
docker compose logs backend     # FastAPI logs
docker compose logs frontend    # Next.js logs
docker compose logs db          # PostgreSQL logs
docker compose logs simulators  # Sensor bot logs
```

Test the backend API directly:

```bash
curl http://localhost:8000/api/health
# Expected: {"status":"ok"}
```

## Accessing the App

| What | URL |
|---|---|
| Dashboard | http://your-server:5646 |
| API docs (Swagger) | http://your-server:5646/api/backend/docs |
| API docs (ReDoc) | http://your-server:5646/api/backend/redoc |

> **Reverse proxy tip:** The frontend is the only service that needs to be publicly reachable. Point Nginx / Caddy / Traefik at port **5646**. The backend, database, and MQTT broker communicate only on the internal Docker network.

```
Browser → Reverse Proxy → :5646 (Next.js)
                               ↓ server-side rewrite
                           :8000 (FastAPI) — internal only
```

---

## Ports Reference

| Service | Host port | Container port | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Frontend (Next.js) | 5646 | 5646 | Public-facing |
| Backend (FastAPI) | 8000 | 8000 | Internal; exposed for dev/debugging |
| Database (PostgreSQL) | 5433 | 5432 | Mapped to 5433 to avoid conflicts with any local Postgres |
| MQTT (Mosquitto) | 1883 | 1883 | Internal |

## Deploying to the Unraid Server

The live instance runs on the Unraid Docker host at `192.168.1.249` as the Portainer stack
**`bms`** — reachable at **http://192.168.1.249:5646/dashboard**.

```bash
python3 ops/deploy.py              # build all four images + deploy/update the stack
python3 ops/deploy.py --no-build   # redeploy the stack using the existing images
```

There is no `docker` CLI in WSL and no SSH to the Unraid box, so `ops/deploy.py` ships each
service's build context to the remote daemon's `/build` endpoint over the Portainer API
(token at `~/.portainer-token`), then pushes `docker-compose.prod.yml` as a Portainer stack.
The script is idempotent — rerun it after any code change.

`docker-compose.prod.yml` differs from the dev `docker-compose.yml`: images instead of build
contexts, no source bind mounts, no `--reload`, and only the frontend publishes a host port.
Postgres data is bind-mounted to `/mnt/user/appdata/bms/db` so it lands on the Unraid array
instead of growing inside `docker.img`, and it survives redeploys.

## Local Development (without Docker)

Useful if you want hot-reload on the frontend or backend without rebuilding containers.

### Database only via Docker

```bash
docker compose up db mqtt
```

### Backend

Requires Python 3.12+.

```bash
cd backend
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate        # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
uvicorn main:app --reload --port 8000
```

### Frontend

Requires Node 22+ and pnpm.

```bash
# Install pnpm if you don't have it
npm install -g pnpm

cd frontend
pnpm install
pnpm dev
```

Frontend dev server runs on http://localhost:3000 by default.

### Simulators

```bash
cd simulators
pip install -r requirements.txt
python main.py
```

## Stopping & Resetting

```bash
# Stop all containers (data is preserved)
docker compose down

# Stop and delete the database volume (full reset — all data lost)
docker compose down -v

# Rebuild images after code changes
docker compose up --build
```
