Step-by-Step Quick Start

Step 1: Deploy Everything at Once (Recommended)

cd /home/setup/navidocs
chmod +x deploy-stackcp.sh
./deploy-stackcp.sh production

Expected output: Shows "Deployment Complete!" with next steps.

Step 2: Build and Deploy Frontend

cd /home/setup/navidocs/client
npm install && npm run build
scp -r dist/* stackcp:~/public_html/digital-lab.ca/navidocs/

Step 3: Start the Application

Option A: StackCP Control Panel (Easiest)

1. Login to https://www.stackcp.com/client/
2. Go to Node.js Manager → Create Application
3. Start file: /tmp/navidocs/server/index.js
4. Port: 8001
5. Environment: Load from ~/navidocs-data/.env
6. Click Create

Option B: systemd Service (if you have SSH access)

ssh stackcp "systemctl --user restart navidocs.service"

Step 4: Verify Everything Works

# Check server is running
ssh stackcp "curl -s http://localhost:8001/health | jq ."

# Check frontend loads
# Visit: https://digital-lab.ca/navidocs/

# Check database
ssh stackcp "sqlite3 ~/navidocs-data/db/navidocs.db 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM documents;'"

Troubleshooting Quick Fixes

Problem	Solution
"Node not executable"	ssh stackcp "chmod +x /tmp/node"
"npm not found"	Use source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh && npm
"Port 8001 in use"	Kill zombie: ssh stackcp "pkill node"
"Database locked"	ssh stackcp "pkill -9 node && rm *.db-shm"
"npm install fails"	Check disk space: ssh stackcp "df -h"
"Out of disk"	Archive uploads: ssh stackcp "find ~/navidocs-data/uploads -mtime +90 -delete"
"Logs too large"	Rotate: ssh stackcp "gzip ~/navidocs-data/logs/app.log"

If Something Goes Wrong

Scenario 1: Application Won't Start

# Step 1: Check what's wrong
ssh stackcp "/tmp/node /tmp/navidocs/server/index.js 2>&1 | head -50"

# Step 2: Verify prerequisites
ssh stackcp "ls -la /tmp/node /tmp/navidocs/server/index.js ~/navidocs-data/.env ~/navidocs-data/db/"

# Step 3: Re-initialize database
ssh stackcp "rm ~/navidocs-data/db/navidocs.db && /tmp/node /tmp/navidocs/server/db/init.js"

# Step 4: Try again
ssh stackcp "systemctl --user restart navidocs.service"

Scenario 2: Database Corrupted

# Restore from backup (if available)
ssh stackcp "cp ~/backups/navidocs-20251113.db ~/navidocs-data/db/navidocs.db"

# Or reinitialize
ssh stackcp "rm ~/navidocs-data/db/navidocs.db && /tmp/node /tmp/navidocs/server/db/init.js"

Scenario 3: Ran Out of Disk Space

# Check what's using space
ssh stackcp "du -sh ~/navidocs-data/*"

# Clean old uploads
ssh stackcp "find ~/navidocs-data/uploads -mtime +30 -delete"

# Compress old logs
ssh stackcp "gzip ~/navidocs-data/logs/*.log.1 ~/navidocs-data/logs/*.log.2"

# Check again
ssh stackcp "du -sh ~/navidocs-data/"

Success Metrics

After deployment, you should see:

✅ Frontend: Loads instantly, responsive UI ✅ Login: Creates user, authenticates with JWT ✅ Upload: Accepts PDF, shows progress ✅ OCR: Extracts text in <5s (smart OCR working) ✅ Search: Returns results in <10ms ✅ Timeline: Shows activity events ✅ Performance: No lag, smooth interactions ✅ Logs: Only expected INFO messages, no ERRORs

---

Next Steps After Deployment

1. User Testing: Have team members test core workflows
2. Performance Tuning: Monitor load, adjust rate limits if needed
3. Backup Strategy: Setup automated daily backups
4. Monitoring: Configure alerts for errors and uptime
5. SSL Certificate: Ensure HTTPS is valid (StackCP handles this)
6. Documentation: Create user guide for boat documentation workflow
7. Training: Show users how to upload and search documents

5. Logs: ssh stackcp "tail -100 ~/navidocs-data/logs/app.log"

---

Summary

You're ready to deploy the complete NaviDocs application to StackCP. The deployment script automates 80% of the work. The most complex parts (OCR, PDF text extraction, multi-format handling) are all built in and tested.

Estimated time to production: 30-45 minutes Risk level: Low (StackCP is pre-configured, script is tested) Rollback: < 5 minutes (restore from git or backup)

Ready to deploy? Run this:

cd /home/setup/navidocs && chmod +x deploy-stackcp.sh && ./deploy-stackcp.sh production

Good luck! 🚀
