## Environments
Linear Void runs in two separate environments:
| Environment | Host | Docker Target | Purpose |
| -------------- | -------------------------- | -------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| **Test Lab** | `192.168.88.40` (internal) | `tcp://192.168.88.40:2375` | Integration testing, staging, CI/CD validation |
| **Production** | Hetzner VPS (TBD) | `tcp://<hetzner-ip>:2375` | Public linearvoid.tv serving real viewers |
**Current state (2026-08-06):** Test lab is active and receives automated CD deploys. Production Hetzner VPS is **not yet provisioned**. The CD workflow (`cd.yml`) and `docker-compose.prod.yml` currently target the test lab. Switching to production requires only changing `DOCKER_HOST` — see [Production Deployment](#production-target-hetzner) below.
## Production Target (Hetzner)
**Status: Not provisioned.** The production deployment plan is documented and the pipeline is ready — only the VPS needs to be created.
### Planned Infrastructure
| Resource | Spec |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| Provider | Hetzner Cloud |
| Region | Ashburn, VA (us-east) |
| Instance | CX22 (2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 40 GB SSD) or equivalent |
| OS | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS or Debian 12 |
| Bandwidth | 20 TB included traffic/month |
| Estimated cost | ~€7–10/month base |
### Cutover Plan
1. Provision Hetzner VPS (see [Production Deployment](#production-target-hetzner) section)
2. Add production secrets to Gitea (`CI_PROD_*` prefix)
3. Update `DOCKER_HOST` in CD workflow to Hetzner public IP
4. Trigger deploy → validate health checks
5. Update Cloudflare A record `linearvoid.tv` → Hetzner IP
6. Enable HTTPS, WAF, cache rules on production zone
7. Decommission test lab as public target
### Firewall / Security Group
| Port | Source | Purpose |
| ---- | --------------------- | ------------------------------ |
| 22 | Admin IPs | SSH management |
| 80 | 0.0.0.0/0 | HTTP (redirect to HTTPS) |
| 443 | 0.0.0.0/0 | HTTPS (nginx) |
| 2375 | Gitea runner IP only | Docker remote API (TLS) |
| 9090 | Admin IPs or internal | Prometheus (or tunnel via SSH) |
| 3001 | Admin IPs or internal | Grafana (or tunnel via SSH) |
### Pipeline Readiness
Three Gitea Actions workflows drive the full pipeline:
| Workflow | Trigger | Purpose |
| ------------- | ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `ci.yml` | Push to `main` | Lint, build frontend, vet Go, build & push Docker images (`:latest`, `:main`) |
| `cd.yml` | Push to `main` | Deploy to test lab (`192.168.88.40:2375`) — runs **in parallel** with CI |
| `release.yml` | Tag push `*.*.*` | Build & push versioned Docker images (`:X.Y.Z`, `:X.Y`, `:latest`), create Gitea Release |
CI and CD run simultaneously on every push to `main`. The deploy pulls whatever `:latest` images are available in the registry at that moment.
The CD workflow (`cd.yml`) uses `DOCKER_HOST` to target the deployment host. To switch targets:
```bash
# Test lab (current)
DOCKER_HOST=tcp://192.168.88.40:2375
# Production (when provisioned)
DOCKER_HOST=tcp://<hetzner-public-ip>:2375
```
No code changes needed in the pipeline. See `DEPLOYMENT.md` Production Deployment section for full checklist.
## Target Topology
- Host: Linux server with Docker Engine
- Reverse proxy: nginx container (linearvoid-nginx)
- Core services: playout, chat, redis, postgres
- Observability: prometheus, grafana
- CDN/edge: Cloudflare
## Prerequisites
- Docker Engine + Docker Compose plugin
- Network access to git.allucanget.biz
- A valid .env file with production values
- DNS configured for linearvoid.tv (and media.linearvoid.tv if split media domain is used)
## Environment File
Use .env with at least:
- CI_REGISTRY_URL
- CI_REGISTRY_NAMESPACE
- CHAT_PORT
- NGINX_PORT
- DATABASE_URL (if overridden)
- REDIS_URL (if overridden)
- ADMIN_USERNAME
- ADMIN_PASSWORD
- VITE_PUBLIC_APP_URL
- VITE_PUBLIC_WS_URL
- VITE_PUBLIC_HLS_URL
- Cloudflare/R2 variables when media sync is enabled
See .env.example and SETUP.md for full variable reference.
## Pull-and-Run Deployment
Images are built and pushed automatically by the CI and release workflows (see [CONTRIBUTING.md](../CONTRIBUTING.md#versioning-and-releases) for the release procedure).
Every push to `main` triggers CI (builds `:main` and `:latest` tags) and CD (deploys `:latest` to test lab) in parallel. Semantic version tags (`*.*.*`, e.g. `1.0.9`) trigger the release workflow which builds `:X.Y.Z`, `:X.Y`, and `:latest` tags and creates a Gitea Release.
From repository root:
```bash
docker login git.allucanget.biz
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml pull
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d --remove-orphans
```
## First-Time or Recovery Provisioning
1. Ensure host paths exist:
```bash
mkdir -p data/chat data/playlist data/media data/hls
```
1. Confirm volumes and networks:
```bash
docker volume ls
docker network ls
```
1. Start stack:
```bash
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d
```
## Health Verification
After startup, check service status:
```bash
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml ps
```
Endpoint checks:
- App: <http://{host}:8080/>
- Nginx health: <http://{host}:8080/health>
- Chat health: <http://{host}:3000/health>
- Playout health: <http://{host}:8081/health>
- Prometheus: <http://{host}:9090>
- Grafana: <http://{host}:3001>
Domain checks:
- <https://linearvoid.tv>
- <https://linearvoid.tv/admin>
- <https://linearvoid.tv/metrics>
## Zero/Low-Downtime Update Pattern
1. Pull newest images.
1. Recreate changed services only:
```bash
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml pull
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d nginx chat playout
```
1. Re-run health checks.
## Rollback
If new images are unhealthy:
1. Pin previous tags in docker-compose.prod.yml.
2. Pull pinned tags.
3. Restart impacted services.
```bash
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml pull
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d nginx chat playout
```
## Operational Tasks
### View logs
```bash
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs -f nginx chat playout
```
### Restart one service
```bash
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml restart chat
```
### Stop stack
```bash
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml down
```
### Keep volumes (recommended) vs remove volumes (destructive)
```bash
# keep data
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml down
# destructive (remove data)
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml down -v
```
## Nginx and Proxy Considerations
- If an external proxy (for example Nginx Proxy Manager) fronts the stack, align request body limits with internal nginx.
- For resumable admin uploads, ensure client_max_body_size supports chunk requests in both proxy layers.
## Security Baseline
- Use strong ADMIN_PASSWORD and rotate regularly.
- Keep Docker host access restricted.
- Prefer HTTPS/WSS through Cloudflare.
- Restrict exposed ports if only proxy access is needed.
## Common Deployment Pitfalls
- Missing frontend build artifacts in local-only compose workflows.
- Wrong registry credentials or missing login.
- Misaligned domain env vars (app/ws/hls) causing mixed-origin errors.
## Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Check | Fix |
| -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Service not starting | `docker logs linearvoid-<svc> --tail 50` | Check `.env` vars, volume mounts, port conflicts |
| Playout stall / slate mode | `curl http://<host>:8081/health` — mode=slate | Check playlist file, media paths, disk space |
| Chat not connecting | `curl http://<host>:3000/health` | Check Redis: `docker exec linearvoid-redis redis-cli ping` |
| Admin 401 loop | Cookie not sent | Verify `X-Forwarded-Proto: https`, nginx auth_request headers |
| Upload fails (413) | File too large | Check nginx `client_max_body_size` (should be 64m+) |
| HLS not playing | `curl http://<host>/hls/playlist.m3u8` | Check playout health, HLS dir permissions |
| Prometheus no targets | `curl http://<host>:9090/targets` | Verify container network, scrape config |
| Grafana no data | Check datasource | Verify Prometheus URL `http://prometheus:9090` provisioned |
- Proxy-layer body size limits returning 413 on upload.
- Health checks failing before service warmup is complete.
