Clever Party Thrower (CPT) Stack Deployment Guide

This guide will help you set up the CPT stack using Docker Compose. The stack includes the following services:

1. PostgreSQL database
2. CPT-API (backend API)
3. CPT-Web (frontend web application)
4. Traefik (reverse proxy and SSL/TLS certificate management)

Prerequisites

1. Docker and Docker Compose installed on your system
2. A Cloudflare account and API key for managing DNS records
3. Domain names for CPT-API and CPT-Web services

Setup

1. Copy the provided docker-compose.yml file to a new directory on your system.

2. Create a .env file in the same directory as the docker-compose.yml file with the following variables:

API_URL=https://api.yourdomain.com
WEB_URL=https://yourdomain.com
POSTGRES_USER=postgres
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=your_postgres_password
TWO_FACTOR_AUTHENTICATION_APP_NAME=YourAppName
JWT_REFRESH_TTL=604800
JWT_AUTH_TTL=86400
JWT_SECRET=yoursupersecret
JWT_REFRESH_SECRET=yourothersupersecret
EMAIL_ADDRESS=your_email@example.com
EMAIL_PASSWORD=your_email_password
SMTP_SERVER=your_smtp_server
SMTP_PORT=your_smtp_server_port
SMTP_SECURE=true/false

Replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain, update the SMTP vars according to your SMTP server, and set the POSTGRES_PASSWORD to a secure password. Update the other variables as needed.

Place these files in the same directory as the docker-compose.yml file.

4. Run docker-compose up -d to start the containers with the new configuration. The services will be accessible at the following URLs:

• CPT-API: http://localhost:8689
• CPT-Web: http://localhost:80

Example .env file

API_URL=https://api.yourdomain.com
POSTGRES_USER=postgres
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=your_postgres_password
TWO_FACTOR_AUTHENTICATION_APP_NAME=YourAppName
JWT_REFRESH_TTL=604800
JWT_AUTH_TTL=86400
JWT_SECRET=yoursupersecret
JWT_REFRESH_SECRET=yourothersupersecret
EMAIL_ADDRESS=your_email@example.com
EMAIL_PASSWORD=your_email_password
SMTP_SERVER=your_smtp_server
SMTP_PORT=your_smtp_server_port
SMTP_SECURE=true/false

Replace the example values with your actual information.

Customization

You can customize the environment variables in the .env file as needed. See the provided example .env file for reference.
