## Prerequisites
### Server Requirements
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (recommended) or 20.04 LTS
- Minimum 2GB RAM (4GB+ recommended for production)
- 20GB+ disk space
- Root or sudo access
- Domain name pointed to your server's IP
### Local Requirements
- Git installed
- SSH key configured for server access
---
## Server Setup
### 1. Connect to Your Server
```bash
ssh root@your-server-ip
```
### 2. Update System Packages
```bash
apt update && apt upgrade -y
```
### 3. Set Up Swap (Recommended for servers with limited RAM)
```bash
# Create 2GB swap file
fallocate -l 2G /swapfile
chmod 600 /swapfile
mkswap /swapfile
swapon /swapfile
# Make permanent
echo '/swapfile none swap sw 0 0' | tee -a /etc/fstab
```
### 4. Configure Firewall
```bash
ufw allow OpenSSH
ufw allow 80/tcp
ufw allow 443/tcp
ufw enable
```
---
## Install Dokku
### 1. Download and Install Dokku
```bash
# Download the installation script
wget -NP . https://dokku.com/install/v0.34.4/bootstrap.sh
# Run the installer (takes 5-10 minutes)
sudo DOKKU_TAG=v0.34.4 bash bootstrap.sh
```
### 2. Configure Dokku
```bash
# Set your domain (replace with your actual domain)
dokku domains:set-global casera.treytartt.com
# Add your SSH public key for deployments
# Run this from your LOCAL machine:
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh root@your-server-ip dokku ssh-keys:add admin
```
### 3. Install Required Plugins
```bash
# PostgreSQL plugin
dokku plugin:install https://github.com/dokku/dokku-postgres.git postgres
# Redis plugin
dokku plugin:install https://github.com/dokku/dokku-redis.git redis
# Let's Encrypt plugin (for SSL)
dokku plugin:install https://github.com/dokku/dokku-letsencrypt.git
```
---
## Create the App
### 1. Create the Dokku App
```bash
dokku apps:create casera-api
```
### 2. Set the Domain
```bash
dokku domains:add casera-api api.casera.treytartt.com
```
### 3. Configure Buildpack (if needed)
The app uses a Dockerfile, so Dokku will auto-detect it. If you need to force Docker builds:
```bash
dokku builder:set casera-api build-dir .
dokku builder-dockerfile:set casera-api dockerfile-path Dockerfile
```
---
## Configure PostgreSQL
### 1. Create PostgreSQL Service
```bash
# Create the database service
dokku postgres:create casera-db
# Link to the app (automatically sets DATABASE_URL)
dokku postgres:link casera-db casera-api
```
### 2. Verify Connection
```bash
# Check the connection info
dokku postgres:info casera-db
# Connect to the database
dokku postgres:connect casera-db
```
### 3. Set Individual Database Variables
Dokku sets `DATABASE_URL` automatically, but the app expects individual variables:
```bash
# Get the database credentials
dokku postgres:info casera-db
# Set individual variables (replace with actual values from info command)
dokku config:set casera-api \
DB_HOST=dokku-postgres-casera-db \
DB_PORT=5432 \
POSTGRES_DB=casera_db \
POSTGRES_USER=postgres \
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=1mJPfu6rzG9r6xukcGbUOU5NoCg0jKfa
```
---
## Configure Redis
### 1. Create Redis Service
```bash
# Create the Redis service
dokku redis:create casera-redis
# Link to the app (automatically sets REDIS_URL)
dokku redis:link casera-redis casera-api
```
### 2. Verify Connection
```bash
dokku redis:info casera-redis
```
---
## Set Environment Variables
### 1. Required Variables

GORUSH_CORE_PORT=8080 \
GORUSH_IOS_ENABLED=true \
GORUSH_IOS_KEY_PATH=/push_certs/AuthKey_R9N3SM2WD5.p8 \
GORUSH_IOS_KEY_ID=R9N3SM2WD5 \
GORUSH_IOS_TEAM_ID=V3PF3M6B6U \
GORUSH_IOS_TOPIC=com.tt.casera.CaseraDev \
GORUSH_IOS_PRODUCTION=true \

dokku config:set casera-api \
NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=https://api.casera.treytartt.com
```
### 6. View All Configuration
```bash

```
---
## Configure Storage
### 1. Create Persistent Storage Directory
```bash
# Create storage directory on host
mkdir -p /var/lib/dokku/data/storage/casera-api/uploads
# Set permissions
chown -R 32767:32767 /var/lib/dokku/data/storage/casera-api
```
### 2. Mount Storage to App
```bash
dokku storage:mount casera-api /var/lib/dokku/data/storage/casera-api/uploads:/app/uploads
```
---
## Deploy the Application
### 1. Add Dokku Remote (Local Machine)
```bash
cd /path/to/myCribAPI-go
git remote add dokku dokku@your-server-ip:casera-api
```
### 2. Deploy
```bash
git push dokku master:main
# Or if your branch is already 'main':
git push dokku main
```
### 3. Watch Deployment Logs
```bash
# On server
dokku logs casera-api -t
```
### 4. Verify Deployment
```bash
# Check app status
dokku ps:report casera-api
# Check app is running
curl https://api.casera.treytartt.com/api/health/
```
---
## Configure SSL
### 1. Set Let's Encrypt Email
```bash
dokku letsencrypt:set casera-api email admin@treytartt.com
```
### 2. Enable Let's Encrypt
```bash
dokku letsencrypt:enable casera-api
```
### 3. Set Up Auto-Renewal
```bash
dokku letsencrypt:cron-job --add
```
---
## Set Up Worker Process
The worker process handles background jobs (task reminders, email sending, etc.).
### 1. Create Procfile (if not exists)
The Dockerfile already handles this, but if you need a Procfile:
```bash
# In your local repo, create Procfile:
echo "web: /app/api" > Procfile
echo "worker: /app/worker" >> Procfile
```
### 2. Scale Worker Process
```bash
# Scale to 1 worker
dokku ps:scale casera-api worker=1
# Verify processes
dokku ps:report casera-api
```
---
#### 7. Set Proxy Port
```bash
dokku proxy:ports-set gorush http:80:8080
```
#### 8. Restart Gorush
```bash
dokku ps:restart gorush
```
#### 9. Configure Casera API to Use Gorush
```bash
dokku config:set casera-api GORUSH_URL=http://gorush.web:8080
```
#### 10. Verify Gorush is Running
```bash
# Check status
dokku ps:report gorush
# Check logs
dokku logs gorush
# Test health endpoint (if you have a domain set)
curl http://gorush.yourdomain.com/api/stat/go
```
### Option B: Use External Push Service
Configure the app to use an external push notification service instead.
---
## Maintenance Commands
### View Logs
```bash
# Real-time logs
dokku logs casera-api -t
# Last 100 lines

dokku logs casera-api -p worker
```
### Database Operations
```bash
# Connect to database
dokku postgres:connect casera-db
# Export database backup
dokku postgres:export casera-db > backup.sql
# Import database backup
dokku postgres:import casera-db < backup.sql
```
### Run Migrations Manually
```bash

dokku enter casera-api web
# Migrations run automatically on startup, but if needed:
/app/api migrate
```
### Restart App
```bash
dokku ps:restart casera-api
```

dokku ps:start casera-api
```
---
## Troubleshooting

dokku redis:linked casera-api casera-redis
# Check Redis is running
dokku redis:info casera-redis
```
#### 4. Storage/Upload Issues
```bash
