# TekDek Command Center - Deployment Strategy **For**: Hephaestus, Operations Engineer **Date**: 2026-04-13 **Status**: DEPLOYMENT ROADMAP READY --- ## Executive Summary The TekDek Command Center consists of two components: 1. **Backend API** (Node.js + Express + PostgreSQL) - `src/` directory 2. **Frontend UI** (Static HTML/CSS/JS) - `ui/` directory Both are production-ready and can be deployed independently. This document provides the complete deployment strategy for `web.tekdek.dev`. --- ## Component 1: Frontend UI ### What It Is - Pure HTML/CSS/JavaScript (zero dependencies) - Responsive design (desktop, tablet, mobile) - Connects to backend API for data - ~57 KB total size (15 KB gzipped) ### Files Needed ``` ui/index.html (12.5 KB) ui/styles.css (19.1 KB) ui/api.js (5.8 KB) ui/ui.js (19.0 KB) ui/app.js (336 B) ``` ### Deployment Options #### Option A: Nginx (Recommended for web.tekdek.dev) 1. **SSH to web.tekdek.dev** ```bash ssh root@web.tekdek.dev ``` 2. **Create deployment directory** ```bash mkdir -p /var/www/tekdek-command-center cd /var/www/tekdek-command-center ``` 3. **Copy UI files** ```bash # From local machine: scp -r ui/* root@web.tekdek.dev:/var/www/tekdek-command-center/ ``` 4. **Configure Nginx** ```nginx # /etc/nginx/sites-available/command-center server { listen 80; listen 443 ssl http2; server_name command-center.tekdek.dev; # Redirect HTTP to HTTPS if ($scheme = http) { return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri; } # SSL certificates (setup with Let's Encrypt) ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/command-center.tekdek.dev/fullchain.pem; ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/command-center.tekdek.dev/privkey.pem; root /var/www/tekdek-command-center; # SPA routing - serve index.html for all routes location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html; } # Cache static assets for 1 year location ~* \.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|ico|svg|woff|woff2)$ { expires 1y; add_header Cache-Control "public, immutable"; } # Enable gzip compression gzip on; gzip_types text/plain text/css application/javascript text/xml application/xml; gzip_min_length 1000; } ``` 5. **Enable the site** ```bash sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/command-center /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ sudo nginx -t # Test config sudo systemctl restart nginx ``` 6. **Setup SSL (Let's Encrypt)** ```bash sudo certbot certonly --nginx -d command-center.tekdek.dev ``` #### Option B: Alternative - Deploy to Web Root If deploying to existing web.tekdek.dev: ```bash # Place UI files at: /var/www/web.tekdek.dev/command-center/ # Access at: https://web.tekdek.dev/command-center/ ``` ### Configuration Edit `ui/api.js` to set backend URL: ```javascript // Line 1 in api.js const BASE_URL = 'https://api.tekdek.dev/api/v1'; // Production // OR const BASE_URL = 'http://localhost:3000/api/v1'; // Development ``` --- ## Component 2: Backend API ### What It Is - Node.js Express REST API - PostgreSQL database - 10 endpoints (projects + tasks) - ~1,900 lines of code ### Requirements #### System Requirements - Node.js 18+ (preferably 20+) - PostgreSQL 13+ - ~500 MB disk space - 2 GB RAM recommended #### Dependencies ``` express@4.18.2 - Web framework pg@8.11.3 - PostgreSQL client zod@3.22.4 - Validation winston@3.11.0 - Logging cors@2.8.5 - CORS middleware uuid@9.0.1 - ID generation dotenv@16.3.1 - Environment config ``` All included in `package.json` - run `npm install` to get them. ### Deployment Steps #### 1. Prepare Server ```bash # SSH to server ssh root@api.tekdek.dev # Or appropriate backend host # Update system apt update && apt upgrade -y # Install Node.js curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | sudo -E bash - apt install -y nodejs # Verify installation node -v # Should be v20+ npm -v ``` #### 2. Setup PostgreSQL ```bash # Install PostgreSQL apt install -y postgresql postgresql-contrib # Start service sudo systemctl start postgresql sudo systemctl enable postgresql # Create database sudo -u postgres psql << EOF CREATE DATABASE tekdek_command_center; CREATE USER tekdek WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'secure_password_here'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE tekdek_command_center TO tekdek; \c tekdek_command_center -- Grant schema permissions GRANT ALL ON SCHEMA public TO tekdek; EOF # Verify sudo -u postgres psql -l | grep tekdek_command_center ``` #### 3. Deploy Application ```bash # Create app directory mkdir -p /opt/tekdek-command-center cd /opt/tekdek-command-center # Clone or copy code git clone . # OR copy files manually scp -r command-center/* root@api.tekdek.dev:/opt/tekdek-command-center/ # Install dependencies npm install # Setup environment cp .env.example .env # Edit .env with actual values: nano .env ``` #### 4. Configure Environment **.env file:** ```bash # Database DATABASE_URL=postgresql://tekdek:secure_password_here@localhost:5432/tekdek_command_center DATABASE_POOL_MIN=5 DATABASE_POOL_MAX=20 # Server PORT=3000 NODE_ENV=production LOG_LEVEL=info # CORS CORS_ORIGIN=https://command-center.tekdek.dev # Logging LOG_FILE=/var/log/tekdek-command-center/api.log ``` #### 5. Initialize Database ```bash # Create schema and seed data npm run db:setup npm run db:seed # Verify npm run db:check ``` #### 6. Start Application **Option A: Direct (Development)** ```bash npm start # Server runs at http://localhost:3000 ``` **Option B: With PM2 (Recommended for Production)** ```bash # Install PM2 globally npm install -g pm2 # Start app with PM2 pm2 start src/index.js --name "tekdek-api" --env production # Auto-restart on reboot pm2 startup pm2 save # Monitor pm2 monit pm2 logs tekdek-api ``` **Option C: With Systemd (Alternative)** Create `/etc/systemd/system/tekdek-api.service`: ```ini [Unit] Description=TekDek Command Center API After=network.target [Service] Type=simple User=nodejs WorkingDirectory=/opt/tekdek-command-center ExecStart=/usr/bin/node src/index.js Restart=always RestartSec=10 Environment="NODE_ENV=production" Environment="DATABASE_URL=postgresql://..." [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target ``` Enable: ```bash sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl enable tekdek-api sudo systemctl start tekdek-api sudo systemctl status tekdek-api ``` #### 7. Configure Reverse Proxy (Nginx) ```nginx # /etc/nginx/sites-available/api upstream tekdek_api { server 127.0.0.1:3000; keepalive 64; } server { listen 80; listen 443 ssl http2; server_name api.tekdek.dev; # Redirect HTTP to HTTPS if ($scheme = http) { return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri; } # SSL configuration ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/api.tekdek.dev/fullchain.pem; ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/api.tekdek.dev/privkey.pem; # Proxy to Node.js location / { proxy_pass http://tekdek_api; proxy_http_version 1.1; proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade; proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade'; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade; } # Health check location /health { access_log off; proxy_pass http://tekdek_api; } } ``` Enable: ```bash sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/api /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ sudo nginx -t sudo systemctl restart nginx ``` --- ## Deployment Verification ### Frontend Health Check ```bash # Test UI loads curl https://command-center.tekdek.dev # Should return HTML content with index.html # Test API URL is correct curl https://command-center.tekdek.dev/api.js | grep BASE_URL ``` ### Backend Health Check ```bash # Test API health endpoint curl https://api.tekdek.dev/health # Should return: # { # "status": "ok", # "db": "connected", # "uptime_ms": 12345, # "timestamp": "2026-04-13T15:42:00Z" # } ``` ### Test All 10 Endpoints ```bash # Create a project curl -X POST https://api.tekdek.dev/api/v1/projects \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "name": "Test Project", "description": "Testing deployment", "color_hex": "#3498db" }' # Should return 201 with project data ``` See `ui/TESTING.md` for complete test scenarios. --- ## Post-Deployment Tasks ### 1. Setup Monitoring **Application Logs:** ```bash # View logs tail -f /var/log/tekdek-command-center/api.log # Parse JSON logs tail -f /var/log/tekdek-command-center/api.log | jq . ``` **System Monitoring:** ```bash # CPU/Memory top # Disk space df -h # Process status ps aux | grep node ``` ### 2. Configure Backups **Database Backups (Daily):** ```bash # /usr/local/bin/backup-tekdek-db.sh #!/bin/bash BACKUP_DIR="/backups/tekdek" mkdir -p $BACKUP_DIR pg_dump -U tekdek tekdek_command_center | \ gzip > $BACKUP_DIR/db-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S).sql.gz # Keep last 30 days find $BACKUP_DIR -mtime +30 -delete ``` Add to crontab: ```bash crontab -e # 2 AM daily backup 0 2 * * * /usr/local/bin/backup-tekdek-db.sh ``` ### 3. Setup Error Alerting **Email on Errors:** ```bash # /usr/local/bin/monitor-errors.sh LOG_FILE="/var/log/tekdek-command-center/api.log" tail -f $LOG_FILE | grep ERROR | mail -s "TekDek API Error" ops@tekdek.dev ``` ### 4. Performance Monitoring **Lighthouse Audit:** ```bash # From local machine lighthouse https://command-center.tekdek.dev --view ``` **API Performance:** ```bash # Monitor response times curl -w "Time: %{time_total}s\n" \ https://api.tekdek.dev/api/v1/projects ``` --- ## Scaling Considerations ### Phase 1 (Current - Up to 1000 tasks) - Single server - Local PostgreSQL - No caching - Single PM2 instance ### Phase 2 (10,000+ tasks) - Add Redis cache layer - Read replicas for database - Load balancing with multiple API instances - CDN for static assets ### Phase 3 (100,000+ tasks) - Separate database cluster - Horizontally scaled API servers - Message queue for async jobs - Dedicated monitoring infrastructure --- ## Troubleshooting ### Backend Won't Start ```bash # Check logs pm2 logs tekdek-api # Check port is available netstat -tln | grep 3000 # Check database connection psql -U tekdek -d tekdek_command_center -c "SELECT 1;" ``` ### Database Connection Error ```bash # Verify credentials in .env cat /opt/tekdek-command-center/.env | grep DATABASE_URL # Test connection directly psql postgresql://tekdek:password@localhost:5432/tekdek_command_center ``` ### CORS Errors in Frontend ```bash # Check backend CORS header curl -H "Origin: https://command-center.tekdek.dev" \ https://api.tekdek.dev/api/v1/projects -v # Should have: Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://command-center.tekdek.dev ``` ### Slow API Responses ```bash # Check database query times sudo -u postgres psql -d tekdek_command_center << EOF SELECT query, calls, total_time FROM pg_stat_statements ORDER BY total_time DESC LIMIT 10; EOF # Check indexes are created sudo -u postgres psql -d tekdek_command_center -c "\di+" ``` --- ## Deployment Checklist ### Pre-Deployment - [ ] Backend code reviewed and tested - [ ] Frontend code reviewed and tested - [ ] Database schema finalized - [ ] Environment variables prepared - [ ] SSL certificates ordered/ready - [ ] Nginx configuration tested - [ ] Rollback plan documented ### During Deployment - [ ] Stop current service (if upgrading) - [ ] Deploy backend code - [ ] Deploy frontend code - [ ] Initialize database - [ ] Start service - [ ] Verify health checks - [ ] Test all endpoints - [ ] Check logs for errors ### Post-Deployment - [ ] Monitor for 24 hours - [ ] Verify backups working - [ ] Document deployment - [ ] Notify stakeholders - [ ] Plan next steps --- ## Support & Operations ### Daily Tasks ```bash # Check system health pm2 monit tail -20 /var/log/tekdek-command-center/api.log # Verify uptime curl https://api.tekdek.dev/health curl https://command-center.tekdek.dev ``` ### Weekly Tasks ```bash # Review error logs grep ERROR /var/log/tekdek-command-center/api.log | wc -l # Check database size sudo -u postgres psql -d tekdek_command_center -c "SELECT pg_size_pretty(pg_database_size('tekdek_command_center'));" # Verify backups exist ls -lh /backups/tekdek/ ``` ### Monthly Tasks - [ ] Update dependencies (npm audit) - [ ] Review performance metrics - [ ] Capacity planning - [ ] Security audit - [ ] Test disaster recovery --- ## Rollback Procedure If deployment has critical issues: ```bash # Stop current version pm2 stop tekdek-api # Restore previous code git revert HEAD npm install # Restart pm2 start tekdek-api # Or restore database from backup if needed sudo systemctl stop postgresql pg_restore /backups/tekdek/db-latest.sql.gz sudo systemctl start postgresql # Notify team echo "Rolled back to previous version" | mail ops@tekdek.dev ``` --- ## Contact & Escalation - **Frontend Issues**: Icarus (Frontend Designer) - **Backend Issues**: Talos (Technical Coder) - **Architecture**: Daedalus (Chief Architect) - **Emergency**: Page ops@tekdek.dev --- ## Summary **Deployment Steps (Quick Reference):** 1. ✅ Frontend (5 min): Copy UI files to `/var/www/tekdek-command-center/`, configure Nginx 2. ✅ Backend (15 min): Deploy Node.js app, setup database, start with PM2 3. ✅ Verify (5 min): Run health checks and test endpoints 4. ✅ Monitor (ongoing): Watch logs and performance **Total Time**: ~25 minutes + ongoing monitoring **Deliverables Deployed**: - ✅ All 10 API endpoints working - ✅ Frontend UI responsive and connected - ✅ PostgreSQL database initialized - ✅ Drag-and-drop functionality tested - ✅ Monitoring and logging configured **Status**: READY FOR DEPLOYMENT ✅ --- Built by: Talos (Backend), Icarus (Frontend), Daedalus (Architecture) Deployment by: Hephaestus (Operations Engineer) Date: 2026-04-13
