Deployment

Production stack — ambrosio (OVH VPS)

Live URL: https://erosi.limonia.net (app + Supabase API, single-domain). Keycloak is external — its URL is set via PUBLIC_KEYCLOAK_URL in /opt/colectivo/.env. OVH VPS, Ubuntu 24, Docker 29.

• infra/docker-compose.erosi.yml — full stack (db, auth, rest, realtime, storage, imgproxy, kong, app, caddy). studio, meta, and the bundled keycloak service are intentionally absent. All services live on a single internal Docker network (colectivo); nothing on the stack is bound to a public network or labeled for an external reverse proxy.
• Internal edge — Caddy on :3000: infra/Caddyfile.erosi does the path split — /rest/v1, /auth/v1, /realtime/v1, /storage/v1, /graphql/v1, /pg → kong:8000; everything else → app:3000. WebSockets pass through (Caddy's reverse_proxy handles upgrade headers). Plain HTTP, no TLS. The container publishes host port 3000 (ports: ["3000:3000"]). Global block sets auto_https off + admin off, so the only listening socket is :3000 — no ACME, no admin API.
• External reverse proxy + TLS are owned outside this repo (originally NetBird's self-hosted Traefik on ambrosio). Whatever proxy fronts the host terminates TLS for erosi.limonia.net and forwards plain HTTP to ambrosio:3000. Repo has no labels, no Traefik network attachment, no cert config — only the bind on :3000.
• infra/scripts/deploy-erosi.sh — idempotent redeploy: rsync → on first run generate secrets + write /opt/colectivo/.env with placeholders the operator fills in (PUBLIC_KEYCLOAK_URL, KEYCLOAK_CLIENT_SECRET) → subsequent runs fail fast if any placeholder is unfilled → docker compose build + up → apply pending migrations. Never touches /etc/caddy/*, never runs sudo. Note: bind-mounted files (e.g. Caddyfile.erosi) require docker compose restart caddy after editing — the script's up -d only recreates services whose compose definition changed.
• keycloak/realm-export.erosi.json — not imported by this stack (no bundled Keycloak). Kept as reference for what the external Keycloak client must have — realm name, client id, and client secret are operator-chosen and wired in via .env (PUBLIC_KEYCLOAK_REALM, PUBLIC_KEYCLOAK_CLIENT_ID, KEYCLOAK_CLIENT_SECRET), so the file's literal colectivo-web / colectivo values are illustrative, not required. What the client must actually have: redirectUris: ["https://erosi.limonia.net/*", "https://erosi.limonia.net/auth/v1/callback"], webOrigins: ["https://erosi.limonia.net"], confidential, openid as a default client scope with include.in.token.scope=true.
• .env.erosi.example — committed template. The real /opt/colectivo/.env on ambrosio is 600 and stays on the server.

Pre-deploy prerequisites

1. External Keycloak reachable from ambrosio's Docker network (outbound HTTPS). Realm + confidential client configured as described above; .env gets PUBLIC_KEYCLOAK_URL, PUBLIC_KEYCLOAK_REALM, PUBLIC_KEYCLOAK_CLIENT_ID, KEYCLOAK_CLIENT_SECRET. If the Keycloak deployment uses the legacy /auth/ base path (Keycloak ≤ 16 default; some distributions still carry it — auth.fosil.eu is one) then PUBLIC_KEYCLOAK_URL must include it, e.g. https://auth.example.com/auth. Verify by opening ${PUBLIC_KEYCLOAK_URL}/realms/${PUBLIC_KEYCLOAK_REALM}/.well-known/openid-configuration — it should return 200 JSON; 404 means the base path is wrong.
2. Users in the external Keycloak must match existing auth.users UUIDs (auth.users.id = keycloak sub) or the stack starts fresh with no prior users. Re-registering produces new sub UUIDs; either re-seed auth.users + auth.identities or wipe and start over.
3. External proxy idle timeout — Realtime WebSockets stay open for the entire shopping session, so whatever fronts the host must allow long-lived idle connections. NetBird's installer sets --entryPoints.websecure.transport.respondingTimeouts.idleTimeout=0 (unlimited) by default; if the external proxy is something else, configure ≥3600s on the relevant entrypoint. Symptom of a too-short timeout: client reconnects continuously mid-session.
4. External proxy upstream — forward erosi.limonia.net (HTTPS, terminate TLS there) to ambrosio:3000 (plain HTTP). One upstream is enough; Caddy inside the stack does the kong-vs-app path split.
5. DNS for erosi.limonia.net → ambrosio (A/AAAA).
6. Host Caddy disabled: sudo systemctl stop caddy && sudo systemctl disable caddy. Without disable, the unit comes back on reboot and races the external proxy for 80/443. Remove any # BEGIN colectivo-erosi … # END block from /etc/caddy/Caddyfile for tidiness. (The internal Caddy inside the stack runs in a container on :3000 and is unrelated to this host unit.)

Prod-specific fixes

Had to be made for the stack to boot cleanly on a fresh volume:

• infra/db-init/00-role-passwords.sh — rewrote as idempotent bootstrap (see the "supabase/postgres doesn't bootstrap Supabase roles" gotcha in CLAUDE.md): creates all Supabase service roles if absent, enables pg_cron + pgcrypto + uuid-ossp, creates auth / storage / graphql_public / _realtime / realtime schemas + empty supabase_realtime publication, sets supabase_auth_admin search_path to auth. The old 00-role-passwords.sql (ALTER-only) has been removed.
• apps/web/vite.config.ts — PWA strategy switched injectManifest → generateSW (see the "injectManifest hardcoded filename" gotcha in CLAUDE.md).

Runbook

App build hang / PostHog timeout

The app image's final build stage (pnpm --filter @colectivo/web build → vite SSR) occasionally stalls during transforming... and ~9 minutes later dies with UnhandledPromiseRejection: "Timeout while shutting down PostHog". Intermittent; reproducible across rebuilds with the same layer cache.

Fix: rebuild with --no-cache once:

ssh ambrosio 'cd /opt/colectivo && docker compose --env-file .env -f infra/docker-compose.erosi.yml build --no-cache app'

Subsequent normal builds succeed. Run inside tmux if you're on a flaky SSH link — the no-cache build takes 5–15 minutes and losing the connection kills BuildKit.

Changing PUBLIC_* env values (URL, realm, client id)

Any change to PUBLIC_APP_URL, PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL, PUBLIC_KEYCLOAK_URL, PUBLIC_KEYCLOAK_REALM, PUBLIC_KEYCLOAK_CLIENT_ID requires an app rebuild (those values are baked into the client bundle at build time via docker-compose.erosi.yml build args). After editing .env:

ssh ambrosio 'cd /opt/colectivo && docker compose --env-file .env -f infra/docker-compose.erosi.yml build app && docker compose --env-file .env -f infra/docker-compose.erosi.yml up -d'

KEYCLOAK_CLIENT_SECRET is runtime-only (GoTrue reads it) — for that one a docker compose restart auth is enough.

Wipe all app + auth data (keep schema, keep migrations)

When switching Keycloak realms or starting fresh:

BEGIN;
TRUNCATE TABLE public.notes, public.tasks, public.task_lists,
  public.shopping_items, public.shopping_lists, public.item_frequency,
  public.collective_invitations, public.collective_members, public.collectives,
  public.users
  RESTART IDENTITY CASCADE;
TRUNCATE TABLE auth.refresh_tokens, auth.sessions, auth.identities, auth.users
  RESTART IDENTITY CASCADE;
COMMIT;

CASCADE also empties auth.mfa_factors, auth.mfa_amr_claims, auth.mfa_challenges, auth.one_time_tokens — expected. Never touch auth.schema_migrations or public._applied_migrations (they track what DDL has been applied).

Server administration (Fase 13)

The instance has a global server_admin role separate from the per-collective admin role. Server admins can list/soft-delete/restore/hard-delete any collective, remove members, set server-level section visibility defaults, and read the append-only audit log at /admin/audit.

Promoting the first admin

Set SERVER_ADMIN_EMAIL in .env to the operator's email BEFORE first deploy. infra/db-init/10-server-admin-seed.sh runs once on first volume init and inserts the matching user into public.server_admins.

Gotcha: docker-entrypoint-initdb.d fires before any user has signed in via Keycloak, so public.users is empty and the script will log WARNING: no public.users row matches email <...>, skipping. To actually bootstrap:

1. Bring up the stack normally (docker compose --env-file .env -f infra/docker-compose.erosi.yml up -d).
2. Sign in once via Keycloak using SERVER_ADMIN_EMAIL to populate public.users.
3. Re-run the bootstrap script manually:

   docker compose -f infra/docker-compose.erosi.yml exec -T db \
       bash /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/10-server-admin-seed.sh </dev/null
   

   The </dev/null redirect is mandatory per the heredoc-stdin gotcha (the surrounding bash heredoc on the SSH side would otherwise be drained).

After this server_admins is non-empty and the script is a no-op forever.

Promoting subsequent admins

Use /admin/admins → "Promote user" with the target's email. Or directly in SQL:

INSERT INTO public.server_admins (user_id, granted_by)
SELECT id, '<your-user-id>'::uuid FROM public.users WHERE email = '<target>'
ON CONFLICT (user_id) DO NOTHING;

Last-admin guard

revoke_server_admin() refuses to remove the only remaining admin (P0003 'last_admin'). If you really need to demote the last admin (e.g. handover), promote the replacement FIRST.

Audit log

Every privileged RPC writes to public.admin_actions. Read it from /admin/audit or with:

SELECT created_at, actor_id, action, target_type, target_id, payload
FROM public.admin_actions ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 100;

The log is append-only via RLS — there are no INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE policies, only the SECURITY DEFINER RPCs can write. A postgres superuser shell can still delete rows; the threat model is "malicious admin via the product UI", not "operator with DB access".
