Architecture Overview

MotoVaultPro uses a staging-first deployment strategy with manual approval:

+---------------------------------------------------+
|         Gitea (git.motovaultpro.com)              |
|  +--------------------+  +--------------------+   |
|  |   Gitea Actions    |  | Package Registry   |   |

         v                           v
+-------------------+     +--------------------+
| Build/Staging VPS |     | Production Server  |
| (mvp-build)       |     | (mvp-prod)         |
| act_runner        |     | act_runner         |
+--------+----------+     +----------+---------+
         |                           |
         v                           v
staging.motovaultpro.com    motovaultpro.com
   (Full Stack)             (Blue-Green)

Key Features

• Staging-first: All changes verified on staging before production
• Manual approval: Production deploy requires manual trigger
• Blue-green production: Zero-downtime deployments
• Auto-rollback: Automatic rollback on health check failure
• Email notifications: Via Resend API

Prerequisites

Server Requirements

Server	Purpose	Specs	Runner Label
Build/Staging VPS	Build + Staging	4 CPU, 8GB RAM	mvp-build

See BUILD-SERVER-SETUP.md for setup instructions.

Software Requirements

• Gitea 1.21+ with Actions enabled
• Docker Engine 24.0+

Workflow Structure

Two-Workflow Strategy

Workflow	Trigger	Purpose
staging.yaml	Push to main	Build, deploy to staging, verify
production.yaml	Manual (workflow_dispatch)	Deploy to production

Staging Workflow (Automatic)

[Push to main]
      |
      v
[build] -------- Build images, push to registry
      |
      v
[deploy-staging] - Deploy full stack to staging
      |
      v
[verify-staging] - Health checks
      |
      +--[FAIL]--> [notify-staging-failure]
      |
      v
[notify-staging-ready] - Email with production deploy link

Production Workflow (Manual)

[Manual Trigger] - User clicks "Run workflow"
      |
      v
[validate] - Check prerequisites, determine stack
      |
      v
[deploy-prod] - Blue-green deployment
      |
      v
[verify-prod] - External health checks
      |
      +--[FAIL]--> [rollback] --> [notify-failure]
      |
      v
[notify-success]

Deployment Process

1. Push to Main Branch

When you push to main:

1. Staging workflow triggers automatically
2. Images are built and pushed to Gitea Package Registry
3. Full stack deploys to staging.motovaultpro.com
4. Health checks verify staging works
5. Email notification sent with production deploy link

2. Review Staging

After receiving the "Staging Ready" email:

1. Visit https://staging.motovaultpro.com
2. Test functionality
3. Review logs if needed: docker logs mvp-backend-staging

3. Deploy to Production

When ready to deploy:

1. Go to git.motovaultpro.com/egullickson/motovaultpro/actions
2. Select "Deploy to Production" workflow
3. Click "Run workflow"
4. Optionally specify image tag (defaults to latest)
5. Click "Run workflow" to confirm

4. Monitor Production Deploy

The production workflow will:

1. Determine target stack (blue or green)
2. Pull and start the new stack
3. Run health checks
4. Switch traffic
5. Verify external health
6. Auto-rollback if verification fails
7. Send email notification

Container Registry

All images are hosted on Gitea Package Registry.

Registry URL

git.motovaultpro.com

Image Paths

Image	Path
Backend	git.motovaultpro.com/egullickson/backend:$TAG
Frontend	git.motovaultpro.com/egullickson/frontend:$TAG
Mirrors	git.motovaultpro.com/egullickson/mirrors/

Base Image Mirrors

Run the mirror workflow to avoid Docker Hub rate limits:

1. Go to Actions tab
2. Select "Mirror Base Images"
3. Click "Run workflow"

Mirrored images:

• node:20-alpine
• nginx:alpine
• postgres:18-alpine
• redis:8.4-alpine
• traefik:v3.6

---

Rollback Procedures

Automatic Rollback

Production workflow auto-rolls back when:

• Health check fails after traffic switch
• Container becomes unhealthy during verification

Manual Rollback

SSH to production server:

cd /opt/motovaultpro

# Check current state
cat config/deployment/state.json | jq .

# Switch to other stack
./scripts/ci/switch-traffic.sh blue   # or green

Emergency Recovery

If both stacks are unhealthy:

cd /opt/motovaultpro

# Stop everything
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.blue-green.yml down

# Restart shared services
docker compose up -d mvp-postgres mvp-redis mvp-traefik

# Wait for database
sleep 15

# Start one stack
export BACKEND_IMAGE=git.motovaultpro.com/egullickson/backend:latest
export FRONTEND_IMAGE=git.motovaultpro.com/egullickson/frontend:latest
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.blue-green.yml up -d \
  mvp-frontend-blue mvp-backend-blue

# Switch traffic
./scripts/ci/switch-traffic.sh blue

---

Maintenance Migrations

For breaking database changes requiring downtime:

Via Gitea Actions

1. Go to Actions tab
2. Select "Maintenance Migration"
3. Click "Run workflow"
4. Choose whether to create backup
5. Click "Run workflow"

Via Script

cd /opt/motovaultpro

# With backup
./scripts/ci/maintenance-migrate.sh backup

# Without backup
./scripts/ci/maintenance-migrate.sh

---

Troubleshooting

Staging Workflow Failures

Build fails:

# On build server
docker system df
docker system prune -af

Deploy fails:

docker logs mvp-backend-staging
docker logs mvp-frontend-staging

Production Workflow Failures

Health check timeout:

# Check containers
docker ps
docker logs mvp-backend-blue  # or green

Traffic not switching:

# Check Traefik config
cat config/traefik/dynamic/blue-green.yml
docker exec mvp-traefik traefik healthcheck

Runner Issues

Runner offline:

sudo systemctl status act_runner
sudo journalctl -u act_runner -f

Permission denied:

sudo usermod -aG docker act_runner
sudo systemctl restart act_runner
