## Command Cheat Sheet

### Deployment
```bash
# Full automated deployment
./deploy-stackcp.sh production

# Build frontend
cd client && npm run build

# Deploy frontend
scp -r client/dist/* stackcp:~/public_html/digital-lab.ca/navidocs/

# Start service
ssh stackcp "systemctl --user restart navidocs.service"
```

### Monitoring
```bash
# Check if running
ssh stackcp "curl -s http://localhost:8001/health | jq ."

# View logs
ssh stackcp "tail -f ~/navidocs-data/logs/app.log"

# Check disk usage
ssh stackcp "du -sh ~/navidocs-data/"
```

### Troubleshooting
```bash
# Restart service
ssh stackcp "systemctl --user restart navidocs.service"

# Fix node permissions
ssh stackcp "chmod +x /tmp/node"

# Reinstall dependencies
ssh stackcp "source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh && cd /tmp/navidocs && npm install --production"

# Kill stuck process
ssh stackcp "pkill -9 node"
```

## Common Issues & Solutions

| Issue | Solution |
|-------|----------|
| "Node not found" | `ssh stackcp "chmod +x /tmp/node"` |
| "npm not found" | Use NVM: `source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh && npm` |
| "Port 8001 in use" | Kill: `ssh stackcp "pkill node"` |
| "Database locked" | Kill: `ssh stackcp "pkill -9 node"` |
| "Disk full" | Archive: `find ~/navidocs-data/uploads -mtime +30 -delete` |
| "Frontend not loading" | Check: `ssh stackcp "ls -la ~/public_html/digital-lab.ca/navidocs/"` |
| "Search not working" | Restart: `ssh stackcp "curl -s http://localhost:7700/health"` |

---

## Success Criteria

After deployment, verify:

- [x] ✅ **API Running**: `curl http://localhost:8001/health` → 200 OK
- [x] ✅ **Database**: File exists `~/navidocs-data/db/navidocs.db` with size > 0
- [x] ✅ **Frontend**: Browser loads `https://digital-lab.ca/navidocs/`
- [x] ✅ **Login**: Can create account and login
- [x] ✅ **Upload**: Can upload PDF document
- [x] ✅ **OCR**: Document processes in <10s
- [x] ✅ **Search**: Returns results instantly
- [x] ✅ **Timeline**: Shows activity events
- [x] ✅ **Logs**: No ERROR entries: `grep ERROR ~/navidocs-data/logs/app.log | wc -l` → 0

---

## Architecture Decision: Why This Configuration?

### Why Code in `/tmp` and Data in `~/navidocs-data/`?
- **`/tmp/navidocs`**: Executable directory, where Node.js can run
- **`~/navidocs-data`**: Persistent directory, survives `/tmp` cleanup cycles
- **Separation**: Isolates volatile code from critical data

### Why Nginx Reverse Proxy?
- Static files (Vue frontend) served fast
- API requests proxied to Node.js on port 8001
- Single HTTPS certificate
- Rate limiting and caching at reverse proxy level

### Why SQLite Not MySQL?
- StackCP includes both, but SQLite needs no separate service
- Simple backups (single file)
- Sufficient for this use case (database < 1 GB)
- Perfect for shared hosting

### Why Meilisearch?
- Full-text search engine, purpose-built
- Blazingly fast (<10ms searches)
- Tenant-aware (multi-org support)
- Docker container available if needed

## Timeline: Expected Duration

| Step | Duration | Notes |
|------|----------|-------|
| Run deployment script | 10-15 min | Mostly npm install |
| Build frontend | 3-5 min | Vite build + optimization |
| Upload frontend | 1-2 min | SCP to StackCP |
| Start service | <1 min | systemctl restart |
| Verify deployment | 2-3 min | Health checks |
| **Total** | **25-35 min** | Ready to use |

---

## Post-Deployment To-Do List

After successful deployment:

1. [ ] Test with sample boat documents
2. [ ] Train users on upload/search workflows
3. [ ] Set up automated daily backups
4. [ ] Configure monitoring alerts
5. [ ] Create user documentation
6. [ ] Test disaster recovery (database restore)
7. [ ] Review logs for first week
8. [ ] Optimize based on actual usage patterns

---

## Support & Escalation

### If Deployment Fails

1. **First**: Check SSH connection
   ```bash
   ssh stackcp "echo 'Connection OK'"
   ```

2. **Second**: Check Node.js is executable
   ```bash
   ssh stackcp "chmod +x /tmp/node && /tmp/node --version"
   ```

3. **Third**: Review deployment script output
   ```bash
   ./deploy-stackcp.sh production 2>&1 | tee deployment.log
   ```

4. **Fourth**: Check logs on StackCP
   ```bash
   ssh stackcp "tail -50 ~/navidocs-data/logs/app.log"
   ```

5. **Last**: Rollback to previous version
   ```bash
   ssh stackcp "cd /tmp && git clone ... && npm install --production"
   ```
